If pre-financing is applicable (Mono or Multi) | AT56 | Information | The AT44b clause is used to activate the contingency reserve amount and therefore increase the maximum grant amount (Annex 2), as set out in the Data sheet. If AT44b is activated, the following formula applies: Maximum grant amount (Annex 2) + Contingency reserve - Activation of the contingency reserve < Maximum grant award decision. Then, several rules apply: - the Activated Contingency Reserve amount:
- cannot be higher than the contingency reserve
- cannot be a negative number
- cannot be decreased
- in case of an increase of the Activated Contingency Reserve, then, in the same amendment, there should be an increase of the Maximum grant amount (Annex 2) by, at least, an equal amount.
In the Financial Information screen, the EU Officer only can edit the Activated contingency reserve, by clicking on the pencil icon Image Added. Then, a pop-up will appear for the EU Officer displaying the: - Activated contingency reserve: the current amount activated, editable (by the EU Officer). This amount can only be increased.
