Annex 3
Rules for Reimbursement
TRAVEL EXPENSES GOVERNMENT EXPERT
EFCA will reimburse the travel expenses (tourist class) of 3 experts per invited
Member State (see annex A “Rules for Reimbursement”).
Experts who have to spend one or more nights at the place where the meeting is
held because the times of meetings are incompatible with the times of flights or
trains shall also be entitled to an accommodation allowance. The number of nights
may not exceed the number of meeting days +1. (See Annex A for details).
The daily and accommodation allowances shall be determined according to the
scale set out in Article 13(2) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations of Officials and
the conditions of employment of other servants of the European Communities. (See
Annex A).
Participants receive a daily allowance for the duration of the meeting, which will be
paid to the administration to which the expert belongs, once the meeting has been
completed. In case meals should be provided, they will be deducted accordingly.
After the meeting, the expert will be reminded through a notification of AGM to
claim the reimbursement not later than 30 calendar days after the final day of the
meeting. The reimbursement should be requested through the AGM system,
providing all necessary supporting documents, as required by the financial rules
applicable in the EFCA.
Unless the expert can provide a proper justification that is accepted by reasoned
decision by the responsible authorising officer, failure to comply with the rule
above shall absolve the EFCA from any obligation to reimburse travel expenses or
pay any allowance.
1
ANNEX A – RULES FOR REIMBURSEMENT – GOVERNMENT EXPERTS
Rules on the reimbursement of expenses incurred by people from outside
EFCA invited to attend meetings in an expert capacity
ARTICLE 1 – SCOPE
(1) These rules shall apply to:
(a) Anyone from outside the EFCA who is invited to participate in a meeting1
organised by the EFCA in an expert group2, or by personal invitation, wherever
the location of the meeting;
(b) Anyone responsible for accompanying a disabled person who has been invited
by the EFCA to attend a meeting in an expert capacity.
(2) Participants may be private-sector experts or government experts:
(a) Private-sector experts are individuals who represent civil society or work for a
private organisation who have been invited to give the EFCA the benefit of their
personal expertise or to represent their organisations in a specific area, but not to
defend the interests of a particular country.
(b) Government experts are individuals who have been invited as representatives of
a national, regional or local public authority of a Member State or a third country,
or who have been appointed by such an authority to defend the point of view of
their country of origin on a particular issue or for the purposes mentioned in the
invitation to participate in a meeting organised by EFCA.
Such individuals are members of a ministry, authority or public body and may
lose their status only after they have provided proof that they have ceased to
work in their country's public service.
(3) These rules do not apply to government experts invited to trainings organised by EFCA,
who are covered under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund operational
programmes of the Member State concerned.
ARTICLE 2 – LIABILITY
The EFCA shall not be liable for any material, non-material or physical damage suffered by
invited experts or those responsible for accompanying a disabled expert in the course of their
journey to or stay in the place where the meeting is held, unless such harm is directly
attributable to the EFCA.
In particular, invited experts who use their own means of transport for travelling to such
meetings shall be entirely liable for any accidents that they might cause.
1 For the purpose of these rules, the term “meeting” covers meetings, conferences, trainings, workshops,
participation at EFCA’s coordination centre and other similar events organised by EFCA.
2
Expert groups are set up by the EFCA to assist in the administration and operational organisation tasks
of the EFCA. Such groups provide expert opinions to the EFCA. They may consist of government experts
but also of experts or interested parties from industry, non-governmental organisations, trade unions, the
academic world, etc. Such groups are chaired by the EFCA or by one of their members.
2
ARTICLE 3 – TRAVEL EXPENSES
(1) Experts shall be entitled to the reimbursement of their travel expenses from the place
specified in their invitation (work or home address) to the place of the meeting, by the
most appropriate means of transport given the distance involved. In general, for journeys
of less than 400 km (one way, according to official distance by rail) this shall be first-
class rail travel, and for distances of more than 400 km economy class air travel.
If the journey by air involves a flight of 4 hours or more without stopovers the cost of a
business class ticket shall be reimbursed.
(2) The responsible authorising officers for commitments shall specifically try to ensure that
meetings are organised in such a way as to enable experts to benefit from the most
economical travel rates.
The responsible authorising officers for payments shall scrutinise particularly closely any
requests for reimbursement involving abnormally expensive flights. They shall have the
right to carry out any checks that might be needed and to request any proof from the
expert required for this purpose. They shall also have the right, where it appears to be
justified, to restrict reimbursement to the rates normally applied to the usual journey from
the expert's place of work or residence to the meeting place.
(3) Travel expenses shall be reimbursed on presentation of relevant supporting documents:
tickets and invoices. The documents supplied must show the class of travel used, the
time of travel and the amount paid.
(4) The cost of travel by private car shall be reimbursed at the same rate as the first-class
rail ticket.
(5) If the route is not served by a train the cost of travel by private car shall be reimbursed at
the rate of EUR 0.28 per km.
(6) Taxi fares shall not be reimbursed, unless there is no formal public transport available.
(7) Travel expenses shall be reimbursed on condition that the experts declare on their
honour that they are not receiving a reimbursement of the travel expenses from another
EU institution or body for the same visit.
ARTICLE 4 – DAILY AND ACCOMMODATION ALLOWANCES
(1) The daily allowance paid for each day of the meeting is a flat rate to cover all
expenditure at the place where the meeting is held, including for example meals and
local transport (bus, tram, metro, taxi, parking, motorway tolls, etc.), as well as travel and
accident insurance.
(2) The daily allowance shall be determined according to the scale set out in Article 13(2) of
Annex VII to the Staff Regulations of Officials and the conditions of employment of other
servants of the European Communities.
(3) If the place of departure cited in the invitation is 100 km or less from the place where the
meeting is held, the daily allowance shall be reduced by 50%.
(4) Experts who have to spend one or more nights at the place where the meeting is held
because the times of meetings are incompatible with the times of flights or trains shall
also be entitled to an accommodation allowance. The number of nights may not
3
exceed the number of meeting days + 1. The accommodation allowance shall be
determined according to the scale set out in Article 13(2) of Annex VII to the Staff
Regulations of Officials and the conditions of employment of other servants of the
European Communities. Accommodation expenses shall be reimbursed on presentation
of supporting documents: hotel invoice or equivalent. The documents supplied must
show the hotel used, the time of stay and the amount paid.
(5) An additional accommodation allowance and/or daily allowance may, exceptionally, be
paid if prolonging the stay would enable the expert to obtain a reduction in the cost of
transport worth more than the amount of these allowances.
(6) The daily allowance and/or accommodation allowance may be increased by 50% by
reasoned decision of the responsible authorising officer for very high level experts.
ARTICLE 5 – ADDITIONAL EXPENSES
Where, taking into account any expenses incurred by disabled experts as a result of their
disability or any person accompanying them, the allowances provided for in Article 4 appear to
be clearly inadequate, the expenses shall be reimbursed at the request of the responsible
authorising officer on presentation of supporting documents.
ARTICLE 6 –ALLOWANCES ENTITLEMENTS
(1) Unless stated otherwise in the letter of invitation and the request to organise the
meeting, private-sector experts shall be entitled to a daily allowance for each day of the
meeting and, where appropriate, an accommodation allowance, on condition that they
declare on their honour that they are not receiving a similar allowance or similar
allowances from another EU institution or body for the same visit.
The responsible authorising officer shall ensure consistency between the content of the
letters of invitation and the request to organise the meeting.
(2) Government experts shall receive a daily allowance for each day of the meeting and/or,
where appropriate, an accommodation allowance, provided that provision for this is
made and on condition that they declare on their honour that they are not receiving a
similar allowance or similar allowances from another EU institution or body for the same
visit.
(3) The authorising officer by delegation may, by reasoned decision and on presentation of
supporting documents, authorise the reimbursement of expenses which invited experts
have had to incur as a result of special instructions they have received in writing.
(4) All reimbursements of travel expenses, daily allowances and/or accommodation
allowances shall be made to one and the same bank account.
(5) Reimbursements of the costs of government experts shall be paid into an account in the
name of the Member State, one of its ministries or a public body, in the absence of any
derogation from the Member State, one of its ministries or a public body.
4
