The grant is an action grant8 which takes the form of a budget-based mixed actual cost grant (i.e. a
grant based on actual costs incurred, but which may also include other forms of funding, such as unit
costs or contributions, flat-rate costs or contributions, lump sum costs or contributions or financing
not linked to costs).
5.2 Maximum grant amount
The maximum grant amount is set out in the Data Sheet (see Point 3) and in the estimated budget
(Annex 2).
5.3 Funding rate
The funding rate for costs is 80% of the action’s eligible costs.
Contributions are not subject to any funding rate.
5.4 Estimated budget, budget categories and forms of funding
The estimated budget for the action is set out in Annex 2.
It contains the estimated eligible costs and contributions for the action, broken down by participant
and budget category.
Annex 2 also shows the types of costs and contributions (forms of funding)9 to be used for each budget
category.
If unit costs or contributions are used, the details on the calculation will be explained in Annex 2a.
5.5 Budget flexibility
The budget breakdown may be adjusted — without an amendment (see Article 39) — by transfers
(between participants and budget categories), as long as this does not imply any substantive or
important change to the description of the action in Annex 1.
However:
- changes to the budget category for volunteers (if used) always require an amendment
- changes to budget categories with lump sums costs or contributions (if used; including
financing not linked to costs) always require an amendment
- changes to budget categories with higher funding rates or budget ceilings (if used) always
require an amendment
- addition of amounts for subcontracts not provided for in Annex 1 either require an amendment
or simplified approval in accordance with Article 6.2

Annex 2
(ii) the costs or contributions to which the flat-rate is applied must:

attributed to it directly are eligible. They must not include any indirect costs (i.e. costs that are only
indirectly linked to the action, e.g. via cost drivers).
6.2 Specific eligibility conditions for each budget category
For each budget category, the specific eligibility conditions are as follows:
Direct costs
A. Personnel costs
A.1 Costs for employees (or equivalent) are eligible as personnel costs if they fulfil the general
eligibility conditions and are related to personnel working for the beneficiary under an employment
contract (or equivalent appointing act) and assigned to the action.
They must be limited to salaries, social security contributions, taxes and other costs linked to the

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
remuneration, if they arise from national law or the employment contract (or equivalent appointing
act) and be calculated on the basis of the costs actually incurred, in accordance with the following
method:
{daily rate for the person
multiplied by
number of day-equivalents worked on the action (rounded up or down to the nearest half-day)}.
The daily rate must be calculated as:
{annual personnel costs for the person
divided by
215}.
The number of day-equivalents declared for a person must be identifiable and verifiable (see
Article 20).
The total number of day-equivalents declared in EU grants, for a person for a year, cannot be higher
than 215.
The personnel costs may also include supplementary payments for personnel assigned to the action
(including payments on the basis of supplementary contracts regardless of their nature), if:
- it is part of the beneficiary’s usual remuneration practices and is paid in a consistent manner
whenever the same kind of work or expertise is required
- the criteria used to calculate the supplementary payments are objective and generally applied
by the beneficiary, regardless of the source of funding used.
A.2 and A.3 Costs for natural persons working under a direct contract other than an employment
contract and costs for seconded persons by a third party against payment are also eligible as
personnel costs, if they are assigned to the action, fulfil the general eligibility conditions and:
(a) work under conditions similar to those of an employee (in particular regarding the way the
work is organised, the tasks that are performed and the premises where they are performed) and
(b) the result of the work belongs to the beneficiary (unless agreed otherwise).
They must be calculated on the basis of a rate which corresponds to the costs actually incurred for
the direct contract or secondment and must not be significantly different from those for personnel
performing similar tasks under an employment contract with the beneficiary.
A.4 The work of SME owners for the action (i.e. owners of beneficiaries that are small and medium-
sized enterprises10 not receiving a salary) or natural person beneficiaries (i.e. beneficiaries that are
10 For the definition, see Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC: micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (SME)
are enterprises
- engaged in an economic activity, irrespective of their legal form (including, in particular, self- employed persons
and family businesses engaged in craft or other activities, and partnerships or associations regularly engaged
in an economic activity) and

natural persons not receiving a salary) may be declared as personnel costs, if they fulfil the general
eligibility conditions and are calculated as unit costs in accordance with the method set out in Annex
2a.
B. Subcontracting costs
Subcontracting costs for the action (including related duties, taxes and charges, such as non-
deductible or non-refundable value added tax (VAT)) are eligible, if they are calculated on the basis
of the costs actually incurred, fulfil the general eligibility conditions and are awarded using the
beneficiary’s usual purchasing practices — provided these ensure subcontracts with best value for
money (or if appropriate the lowest price) and that there is no conflict of interests (see Article 12).
Beneficiaries that are ‘contracting authorities/entities’ within the meaning of the EU Directives on
public procurement must also comply with the applicable national law on public procurement.
Subcontracting may cover only a limited part of the action.
The tasks to be subcontracted and the estimated cost for each subcontract must be set out in Annex 1
and the total estimated costs of subcontracting per beneficiary must be set out in Annex 2 (or may
be approved ex post in the periodic report, if the use of subcontracting does not entail changes to the
Agreement which would call into question the decision awarding the grant or breach the principle of
equal treatment of applicants; ‘simplified approval procedure’).
C. Purchase costs
Purchase costs for the action (including related duties, taxes and charges, such as non-deductible or
non-refundable value added tax (VAT)) are eligible if they fulfil the general eligibility conditions and
are bought using the beneficiary’s usual purchasing practices — provided these ensure purchases with
best value for money (or if appropriate the lowest price) and that there is no conflict of interests (see
Article 12).
Beneficiaries that are ‘contracting authorities/entities’ within the meaning of the EU Directives on
public procurement must also comply with the applicable national law on public procurement.
C.1 Travel and subsistence
Purchases for travel, accommodation and subsistence must be calculated as follows:
- travel: as unit costs in accordance with the method set out in Annex 2a if covered by Decision
C(2021)3511 or otherwise as costs actually incurred and in line with the beneficiary’s usual
practices on travel
- accommodation: as unit costs in accordance with the method set out in Annex 2a if covered by
- employing fewer than 250 persons (expressed in ‘annual working units’ as defined in Article 5 of the
Recommendation) and which have an annual turnover not exceeding EUR 50 million, and/or an annual balance
sheet total not exceeding EUR 43 million.

depreciation costs, calculated on the basis of the costs actually incurred and written off in accordance
with international accounting standards and the beneficiary’s usual accounting practices.
Only the portion of the costs that corresponds to the rate of actual use for the action during the action
duration can be taken into account.

Purchases of other goods, works and services must be calculated on the basis of the costs actually
incurred.

forms of support; if any) are eligible, if and as declared eligible in the call conditions, if they fulfil the
general eligibility conditions, are calculated on the basis of the costs actually incurred and the support
is implemented in accordance with the conditions set out in Annex 1.
These conditions must ensure objective and transparent selection procedures and include at least the
following:

CHAPTER 4 GRANT IMPLEMENTATION
SECTION 1 CONSORTIUM: BENEFICIARIES, AFFILIATED ENTITIES AND OTHER
PARTICIPANTS
ARTICLE 7 — BENEFICIARIES
The beneficiaries, as signatories of the Agreement, are fully responsible towards the granting authority
for implementing it and for complying with all its obligations.
They must implement the Agreement to their best abilities, in good faith and in accordance with all
the obligations and terms and conditions it sets out.
They must have the appropriate resources to implement the action and implement the action under
their own responsibility and in accordance with Article 11. If they rely on affiliated entities or other
14 For the definition, see Article 180(2)(b) of EU Financial Regulation 2018/1046: ‘operating grant’ means an EU grant
to finance “the functioning of a body which has an objective forming part of and supporting an EU policy”.

21/09/2023
participants (see Articles 8 and 9), they retain sole responsibility towards the granting authority and
the other beneficiaries.
They are jointly responsible for the technical implementation of the action. If one of the beneficiaries
fails to implement their part of the action, the other beneficiaries must ensure that this part is
implemented by someone else (without being entitled to an increase of the maximum grant amount
and subject to an amendment; see Article 39). The financial responsibility of each beneficiary in case
of recoveries is governed by Article 22.
The beneficiaries (and their action) must remain eligible under the EU programme funding the grant
for the entire duration of the action. Costs and contributions will be eligible only as long as the
beneficiary and the action are eligible.
The internal roles and responsibilities of the beneficiaries are divided as follows:
(a) Each beneficiary must:
(i) keep information stored in the Portal Participant Register up to date (see Article 19)
(ii) inform the granting authority (and the other beneficiaries) immediately of any events or
circumstances likely to affect significantly or delay the implementation of the action (see
Article 19)
(iii) submit to the coordinator in good time:
- the prefinancing guarantees (if required; see Article 23)
- the financial statements and certificates on the financial statements (CFS) (if
required; see Articles 21 and 24.2 and Data Sheet, Point 4.3)
- the contribution to the deliverables and technical reports (see Article 21)
- any other documents or information required by the granting authority under the
Agreement
(iv) submit via the Portal data and information related to the participation of their affiliated
entities.
(b) The coordinator must:
(i) monitor that the action is implemented properly (see Article 11)
(ii) act as the intermediary for all communications between the consortium and the granting
authority, unless the Agreement or granting authority specifies otherwise, and in
particular:
- submit the prefinancing guarantees to the granting authority (if any)
- request and review any documents or information required and verify their quality
and completeness before passing them on to the granting authority
- submit the deliverables and reports to the granting authority
22

21/09/2023
- inform the granting authority about the payments made to the other beneficiaries
(report on the distribution of payments; if required, see Articles 22 and 32)
(iii) distribute the payments received from the granting authority to the other beneficiaries
without unjustified delay (see Article 22).
The coordinator may not delegate or subcontract the above-mentioned tasks to any other beneficiary
or third party (including affiliated entities).
However, coordinators which are public bodies may delegate the tasks set out in Point (b)(ii) last
indent and (iii) above to entities with ‘authorisation to administer’ which they have created or which
are controlled by or affiliated to them. In this case, the coordinator retains sole responsibility for the
payments and for compliance with the obligations under the Agreement.
Moreover, coordinators which are ‘sole beneficiaries’15 (or similar, such as European research
infrastructure consortia (ERICs)) may delegate the tasks set out in Point (b)(i) to (iii) above to one of
their members. The coordinator retains sole responsibility for compliance with the obligations under
the Agreement.
The beneficiaries must have internal arrangements regarding their operation and co-ordination, to
ensure that the action is implemented properly.
If required by the granting authority (see Data Sheet, Point 1), these arrangements must be set out in
a written consortium agreement between the beneficiaries, covering for instance:
- the internal organisation of the consortium
- the management of access to the Portal
- different distribution keys for the payments and financial responsibilities in case of recoveries
(if any)
- additional rules on rights and obligations related to background and results (see Article 16)
- settlement of internal disputes
- liability, indemnification and confidentiality arrangements between the beneficiaries.
The internal arrangements must not contain any provision contrary to this Agreement.
ARTICLE 8 — AFFILIATED ENTITIES
The following entities which are linked to a beneficiary will participate in the action as ‘affiliated
entities’:
- TERVISE JA HEAOLU INFOSÜSTEEMIDE KESKUS (TEHIK), PIC 895885405, linked
to SOTSIAALMINISTEERIUM (MSAE)
15 For the definition, see Article 187(2) EU Financial Regulation 2018/1046: “Where several entities satisfy the criteria
for being awarded a grant and together form one entity, that entity may be treated as the sole beneficiary, including
where it is specifically established for the purpose of implementing the action financed by the grant.”

Affiliated entities can charge costs and contributions to the action under the same conditions as the
beneficiaries and must implement the action tasks attributed to them in Annex 1 in accordance with
Article 11.
Their costs and contributions will be included in Annex 2 and will be taken into account for the
calculation of the grant.
The beneficiaries must ensure that all their obligations under this Agreement also apply to their
affiliated entities.
The beneficiaries must ensure that the bodies mentioned in Article 25 (e.g. granting authority, OLAF,
Court of Auditors (ECA), etc.) can exercise their rights also towards the affiliated entities.
Breaches by affiliated entities will be handled in the same manner as breaches by beneficiaries.
Recovery of undue amounts will be handled through the beneficiaries.
If the granting authority requires joint and several liability of affiliated entities (see Data Sheet,
Point 4.4), they must sign the declaration set out in Annex 3a and may be held liable in case of enforced
recoveries against their beneficiaries (see Article 22.2 and 22.4).

‘Pillar-assessment’ means a review by the European Commission on the systems, rules and procedures
which participants use for managing EU grants (in particular internal control system, accounting
system, external audits, financing of third parties, rules on recovery and exclusion, information on
recipients and protection of personal data; see Article 154 EU Financial Regulation 2018/1046).
Participants with a positive pillar assessment may rely on their own systems, rules and procedures,
in particular for:
- record-keeping (Article 20): may be done in accordance with internal standards, rules and
procedures
- currency conversion for financial statements (Article 21): may be done in accordance with
usual accounting practices
- guarantees (Article 23): for public law bodies, prefinancing guarantees are not needed
- certificates (Article 24):
- certificates on the financial statements (CFS): may be provided by their regular internal
or external auditors and in accordance with their internal financial regulations and
procedures
- certificates on usual accounting practices (CoMUC): are not needed if those practices
are covered by an ex-ante assessment
and use the following specific rules, for:
- recoveries (Article 22): in case of financial support to third parties, there will be no recovery if
the participant has done everything possible to retrieve the undue amounts from the third party
receiving the support (including legal proceedings) and non-recovery is not due to an error or
negligence on its part
- checks, reviews, audits and investigations by the EU (Article 25): will be conducted taking
into account the rules and procedures specifically agreed between them and the framework
agreement (if any)
- impact evaluation (Article 26): will be conducted in accordance with the participant’s internal
rules and procedures and the framework agreement (if any)
- grant agreement suspension (Article 31): certain costs incurred during grant suspension are
eligible (notably, minimum costs necessary for a possible resumption of the action and costs

relating to contracts which were entered into before the pre-information letter was received and
which could not reasonably be suspended, reallocated or terminated on legal grounds)
- grant agreement termination (Article 32): the final grant amount and final payment will be
calculated taking into account also costs relating to contracts due for execution only after
termination takes effect, if the contract was entered into before the pre-information letter was
received and could not reasonably be terminated on legal grounds
- liability for damages (Article 33.2): the granting authority must be compensated for damage
it sustains as a result of the implementation of the action or because the action was not
implemented in full compliance with the Agreement only if the damage is due to an
infringement of the participant’s internal rules and procedures or due to a violation of third
parties’ rights by the participant or one of its employees or individual for whom the employees
are responsible.
Participants whose pillar assessment covers procurement and granting procedures may also do
purchases, subcontracting and financial support to third parties (Article 6.2) in accordance with their
internal rules and procedures for purchases, subcontracting and financial support.
Participants whose pillar assessment covers data protection rules may rely on their internal standards,
rules and procedures for data protection (Article 15).
The participants may however not rely on provisions which would breach the principle of equal
treatment of applicants or beneficiaries or call into question the decision awarding the grant, such as
in particular:
- eligibility (Article 6)
- consortium roles and set-up (Articles 7-9)
- security and ethics (Articles 13, 14)
- IPR (including background and results, access rights and rights of use), communication,
dissemination and visibility (Articles 16 and 17)
- information obligation (Article 19)
- payment, reporting and amendments (Articles 21, 22 and 39)
- rejections, reductions, suspensions and terminations (Articles 27, 28, 29-32)
If the pillar assessment was subject to remedial measures, reliance on the internal systems, rules and
procedures is subject to compliance with those remedial measures.
Participants whose assessment has not yet been updated to cover (the new rules on) data protection
may rely on their internal systems, rules and procedures, provided that they ensure that personal data is:
- processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject
- collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner
that is incompatible with those purposes

- adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they
are processed
- accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
- kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for
the purposes for which the data is processed and
- processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data.
Participants must inform the coordinator without delay of any changes to the systems, rules and
procedures that were part of the pillar assessment. The coordinator must immediately inform the
granting authority.
Pillar-assessed participants that have also concluded a framework agreement with the EU, may
moreover — under the same conditions as those above (i.e. not call into question the decision awarding
the grant or breach the principle of equal treatment of applicants or beneficiaries) — rely on the
provisions set out in that framework agreement.

be displayed at least as prominently and visibly as the other logos.
For the purposes of their obligations under this Article, the beneficiaries may use the emblem without
first obtaining approval from the granting authority. This does not, however, give them the right to

objective criteria, regardless of the source of funding, and that they comply with the eligibility
conditions set out in Articles 6.1 and 6.2.
Moreover, the following is needed for specific budget categories:
(e) for personnel costs: time worked for the beneficiary under the action must be supported
by declarations signed monthly by the person and their supervisor, unless another reliable
time-record system is in place; the granting authority may accept alternative evidence
supporting the time worked for the action declared, if it considers that it offers an adequate
level of assurance
(f) additional record-keeping rules: not applicable
The records and supporting documents must be made available upon request (see Article 19) or in the
context of checks, reviews, audits or investigations (see Article 25).
If there are on-going checks, reviews, audits, investigations, litigation or other pursuits of claims under
the Agreement (including the extension of findings; see Article 25), the beneficiaries must keep these
records and other supporting documentation until the end of these procedures.
The beneficiaries must keep the original documents. Digital and digitalised documents are considered
originals if they are authorised by the applicable national law. The granting authority may accept
non-original documents if they offer a comparable level of assurance.
20.2 Consequences of non-compliance
If a beneficiary breaches any of its obligations under this Article, costs or contributions insufficiently
substantiated will be ineligible (see Article 6) and will be rejected (see Article 27), and the grant may

milestones, outputs/outcomes, critical risks, indicators, etc; if any), in the Portal Continuous
Reporting tool and in accordance with the timing and conditions it sets out (as agreed with the granting
authority).
Standardised deliverables (e.g. progress reports not linked to payments, reports on cumulative
expenditure, special reports, etc; if any) must be submitted using the templates published on the Portal.
21.2 Periodic reporting: Technical reports and financial statements
In addition, the beneficiaries must provide reports to request payments, in accordance with the
schedule and modalities set out in the Data Sheet (see Point 4.2):

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
The prefinancing and periodic reports include a technical and financial part.
The technical part includes an overview of the action implementation. It must be prepared using the
template available in the Portal Periodic Reporting tool.
The financial part of the additional prefinancing report includes a statement on the use of the previous
prefinancing payment.
The financial part of the periodic report includes:
- the financial statements (individual and consolidated; for all beneficiaries/affiliated entities)
- the explanation on the use of resources (or detailed cost reporting table, if required)
- the certificates on the financial statements (CFS) (if required; see Article 24.2 and Data Sheet,
Point 4.3).
The financial statements must detail the eligible costs and contributions for each budget category
and, for the final payment, also the revenues for the action (see Articles 6 and 22).
All eligible costs and contributions incurred should be declared, even if they exceed the amounts
indicated in the estimated budget (see Annex 2). Amounts that are not declared in the individual
financial statements will not be taken into account by the granting authority.
By signing the financial statements (directly in the Portal Periodic Reporting tool), the beneficiaries
confirm that:
- the information provided is complete, reliable and true
- the costs and contributions declared are eligible (see Article 6)
- the costs and contributions can be substantiated by adequate records and supporting documents
(see Article 20) that will be produced upon request (see Article 19) or in the context of checks,
reviews, audits and investigations (see Article 25)
- for the final periodic report: all the revenues have been declared (if required; see Article 22).
Beneficiaries will have to submit also the financial statements of their affiliated entities (if any). In case
of recoveries (see Article 22), beneficiaries will be held responsible also for the financial statements
of their affiliated entities.
21.3 Currency for financial statements and conversion into euros
The financial statements must be drafted in euro.
Beneficiaries with general accounts established in a currency other than the euro must convert the
costs recorded in their accounts into euro, at the average of the daily exchange rates published in the C
series of the Official Journal of the European Union (ECB website), calculated over the corresponding
reporting period.
If no daily euro exchange rate is published in the Official Journal for the currency in question, they
must be converted at the average of the monthly accounting exchange rates published on the European
Commission website (InforEuro), calculated over the corresponding reporting period.

Point 4.2).
They will be made in euro to the bank account indicated by the coordinator (see Data Sheet, Point 4.2)
and must be distributed without unjustified delay (restrictions may apply to distribution of the initial
prefinancing payment; see Data Sheet, Point 4.2).
Payments to this bank account will discharge the granting authority from its payment obligation.
The cost of payment transfers will be borne as follows:
- the granting authority bears the cost of transfers charged by its bank
- the beneficiary bears the cost of transfers charged by its bank
- the party causing a repetition of a transfer bears all costs of the repeated transfer.
Payments by the granting authority will be considered to have been carried out on the date when they
are debited to its account.
22.2 Recoveries
Recoveries will be made, if — at beneficiary termination, final payment or afterwards — it turns out
that the granting authority has paid too much and needs to recover the amounts undue.
The general liability regime for recoveries (first-line liability) is as follows: At final payment, the
coordinator will be fully liable for recoveries, even if it has not been the final recipient of the undue
amounts. At beneficiary termination or after final payment, recoveries will be made directly against
the beneficiaries concerned.
Beneficiaries will be fully liable for repaying the debts of their affiliated entities.

In case of enforced recoveries (see Article 22.4):
- the beneficiaries will be jointly and severally liable for repaying debts of another beneficiary
under the Agreement (including late-payment interest), if required by the granting authority
(see Data Sheet, Point 4.4)
- affiliated entities will be held liable for repaying debts of their beneficiaries under the
Agreement (including late-payment interest), if required by the granting authority (see
Data Sheet, Point 4.4).
22.3 Amounts due
22.3.1 Prefinancing payments
The aim of the prefinancing is to provide the beneficiaries with a float.
It remains the property of the EU until the final payment.
For initial prefinancings (if any), the amount due, schedule and modalities are set out in the
Data Sheet (see Point 4.2).
For additional prefinancings (if any), the amount due, schedule and modalities are also set out in
the Data Sheet (see Point 4.2). However, if the statement on the use of the previous prefinancing
payment shows that less than 70% was used, the amount set out in the Data Sheet will be reduced by
the difference between the 70% threshold and the amount used.
Prefinancing payments (or parts of them) may be offset (without the beneficiaries’ consent) against
amounts owed by a beneficiary to the granting authority — up to the amount due to that beneficiary.
For grants where the granting authority is the European Commission or an EU executive agency,
offsetting may also be done against amounts owed to other Commission services or executive
agencies.
Payments will not be made if the payment deadline or payments are suspended (see Articles 29 and
30).
22.3.2 Amount due at beneficiary termination — Recovery
In case of beneficiary termination, the granting authority will determine the provisional amount due
for the beneficiary concerned. Payments (if any) will be made with the next interim or final payment.
The amount due will be calculated in the following step:
Step 1 — Calculation of the total accepted EU contribution
Step 1 — Calculation of the total accepted EU contribution
The granting authority will first calculate the ‘accepted EU contribution’ for the beneficiary for all
reporting periods, by calculating the ‘maximum EU contribution to costs’ (applying the funding rate
to the accepted costs of the beneficiary), taking into account requests for a lower contribution to costs
and CFS threshold cappings (if any; see Article 24.5) and adding the contributions (accepted unit,
flat-rate or lump sum contributions and financing not linked to costs, if any).

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
After that, the granting authority will take into account grant reductions (if any). The resulting amount
is the ‘total accepted EU contribution’ for the beneficiary.
The balance is then calculated by deducting the payments received (if any; see report on the
distribution of payments in Article 32), from the total accepted EU contribution:
{total accepted EU contribution for the beneficiary
minus
{prefinancing and interim payments received (if any)}}.
If the balance is positive, the amount will be included in the next interim or final payment to the
consortium.
If the balance is negative, it will be recovered in accordance with the following procedure:
The granting authority will send a pre-information letter to the beneficiary concerned:
- formally notifying the intention to recover, the amount due, the amount to be recovered and
the reasons why and
- requesting observations within 30 days of receiving notification.
If no observations are submitted (or the granting authority decides to pursue recovery despite the
observations it has received), it will confirm the amount to be recovered and ask this amount to be
paid to the coordinator (confirmation letter).
The amounts will later on also be taken into account for the next interim or final payment.
22.3.3 Interim payments
Interim payments reimburse the eligible costs and contributions claimed for the implementation of
the action during the reporting periods (if any).
Interim payments (if any) will be made in accordance with the schedule and modalities set out the
Data Sheet (see Point 4.2).
Payment is subject to the approval of the periodic report. Its approval does not imply recognition of
compliance, authenticity, completeness or correctness of its content.
The interim payment will be calculated by the granting authority in the following steps:
Step 1 — Calculation of the total accepted EU contribution
Step 2 — Limit to the interim payment ceiling
Step 1 — Calculation of the total accepted EU contribution
The granting authority will calculate the ‘accepted EU contribution’ for the action for the reporting
period, by first calculating the ‘maximum EU contribution to costs’ (applying the funding rate to the
accepted costs of each beneficiary), taking into account requests for a lower contribution to costs, and
CFS threshold cappings (if any; see Article 24.5) and adding the contributions (accepted unit, flat-rate
or lump sum contributions and financing not linked to costs, if any).

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
After that, the granting authority will take into account grant reductions from beneficiary termination
(if any). The resulting amount is the ‘total accepted EU contribution’.
Step 2 — Limit to the interim payment ceiling
The resulting amount is then capped to ensure that the total amount of prefinancing and interim
payments (if any) does not exceed the interim payment ceiling set out in the Data Sheet (see Point 4.2).
Interim payments (or parts of them) may be offset (without the beneficiaries’ consent) against amounts
owed by a beneficiary to the granting authority — up to the amount due to that beneficiary.
For grants where the granting authority is the European Commission or an EU executive agency,
offsetting may also be done against amounts owed to other Commission services or executive
agencies.
Payments will not be made if the payment deadline or payments are suspended (see Articles 29 and
30).
22.3.4 Final payment — Final grant amount — Revenues and Profit — Recovery
The final payment (payment of the balance) reimburses the remaining part of the eligible costs and
contributions claimed for the implementation of the action (if any).
The final payment will be made in accordance with the schedule and modalities set out in the
Data Sheet (see Point 4.2).
Payment is subject to the approval of the final periodic report. Its approval does not imply recognition
of compliance, authenticity, completeness or correctness of its content.
The final grant amount for the action will be calculated in the following steps:
Step 1 — Calculation of the total accepted EU contribution
Step 2 — Limit to the maximum grant amount
Step 3 — Reduction due to the no-profit rule
Step 1 — Calculation of the total accepted EU contribution
The granting authority will first calculate the ‘accepted EU contribution’ for the action for all reporting
periods, by calculating the ‘maximum EU contribution to costs’ (applying the funding rate to the total
accepted costs of each beneficiary), taking into account requests for a lower contribution to costs, CFS
threshold cappings (if any; see Article 24.5) and adding the contributions (accepted unit, flat-rate or
lump sum contributions and financing not linked to costs, if any).
After that, the granting authority will take into account grant reductions (if any). The resulting amount
is the ‘total accepted EU contribution’.
Step 2 — Limit to the maximum grant amount
If the resulting amount is higher than the maximum grant amount set out in Article 5.2, it will be
limited to the latter.

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
Step 3 — Reduction due to the no-profit rule
If the no-profit rule is provided for in the Data Sheet (see Point 4.2), the grant must not produce a
profit (i.e. surplus of the amount obtained following Step 2 plus the action’s revenues, over the eligible
costs and contributions approved by the granting authority).
‘Revenue’ is all income generated by the action, during its duration (see Article 4), for beneficiaries
that are profit legal entities.
If there is a profit, it will be deducted in proportion to the final rate of reimbursement of the eligible
costs approved by the granting authority (as compared to the amount calculated following Steps 1 and
2 minus the contributions).
The balance (final payment) is then calculated by deducting the total amount of prefinancing and
interim payments already made (if any), from the final grant amount:
{final grant amount
minus
{prefinancing and interim payments made (if any)}}.
If the balance is positive, it will be paid to the coordinator.
The final payment (or part of it) may be offset (without the beneficiaries’ consent) against amounts
owed by a beneficiary to the granting authority — up to the amount due to that beneficiary.
For grants where the granting authority is the European Commission or an EU executive agency,
offsetting may also be done against amounts owed to other Commission services or executive
agencies.
Payments will not be made if the payment deadline or payments are suspended (see Articles 29 and
30).
If the balance is negative, it will be recovered in accordance with the following procedure:
The granting authority will send a pre-information letter to the coordinator:
- formally notifying the intention to recover, the final grant amount, the amount to be recovered
and the reasons why
- requesting observations within 30 days of receiving notification.
If no observations are submitted (or the granting authority decides to pursue recovery despite the
observations it has received), it will confirm the amount to be recovered (confirmation letter),
together with a debit note with the terms and date for payment.
If payment is not made by the date specified in the debit note, the granting authority will enforce
recovery in accordance with Article 22.4.
22.3.5 Audit implementation after final payment — Revised final grant amount — Recovery
If — after the final payment (in particular, after checks, reviews, audits or investigations; see

Article 25) — the granting authority rejects costs or contributions (see Article 27) or reduces the grant
(see Article 28), it will calculate the revised final grant amount for the beneficiary concerned.
The beneficiary revised final grant amount will be calculated in the following step:
Step 1 — Calculation of the revised total accepted EU contribution
Step 1 — Calculation of the revised total accepted EU contribution
The granting authority will first calculate the ‘revised accepted EU contribution’ for the beneficiary,
by calculating the ‘revised accepted costs’ and ‘revised accepted contributions’.
After that, it will take into account grant reductions (if any). The resulting ‘revised total accepted EU
contribution’ is the beneficiary revised final grant amount.
If the revised final grant amount is lower than the beneficiary’s final grant amount (i.e. its share in the
final grant amount for the action), it will be recovered in accordance with the following procedure:
The beneficiary final grant amount (i.e. share in the final grant amount for the action) is calculated
as follows:
{{total accepted EU contribution for the beneficiary
divided by
total accepted EU contribution for the action}
multiplied by
final grant amount for the action}.
The granting authority will send a pre-information letter to the beneficiary concerned:
- formally notifying the intention to recover, the amount to be recovered and the reasons why and
- requesting observations within 30 days of receiving notification.
If no observations are submitted (or the granting authority decides to pursue recovery despite the
observations it has received), it will confirm the amount to be recovered (confirmation letter),
together with a debit note with the terms and the date for payment.
Recoveries against affiliated entities (if any) will be handled through their beneficiaries.
If payment is not made by the date specified in the debit note, the granting authority will enforce
recovery in accordance with Article 22.4.
22.4 Enforced recovery
If payment is not made by the date specified in the debit note, the amount due will be recovered:
(a) by offsetting the amount — without the coordinator or beneficiary’s consent — against any
amounts owed to the coordinator or beneficiary by the granting authority.
In exceptional circumstances, to safeguard the EU financial interests, the amount may be offset
before the payment date specified in the debit note.

For grants where the granting authority is the European Commission or an EU executive
agency, debts may also be offset against amounts owed by other Commission services or
executive agencies.
(b) by drawing on the financial guarantee(s) (if any)
(c) by holding other beneficiaries jointly and severally liable (if any; see Data Sheet, Point 4.4)
(d) by holding affiliated entities jointly and severally liable (if any, see Data Sheet, Point 4.4)
(e) by taking legal action (see Article 43) or, provided that the granting authority is the European
Commission or an EU executive agency, by adopting an enforceable decision under Article 299
of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) and Article 100(2) of EU Financial
Regulation 2018/1046.
The amount to be recovered will be increased by late-payment interest at the rate set out in
Article 22.5, from the day following the payment date in the debit note, up to and including the date
the full payment is received.
Partial payments will be first credited against expenses, charges and late-payment interest and then
against the principal.
Bank charges incurred in the recovery process will be borne by the beneficiary, unless
Directive 2015/236620 applies.
For grants where the granting authority is an EU executive agency, enforced recovery by offsetting or
enforceable decision will be done by the services of the European Commission (see also Article 43).
22.5 Consequences of non-compliance
22.5.1 If the granting authority does not pay within the payment deadlines (see above), the
beneficiaries are entitled to late-payment interest at the rate applied by the European Central Bank
(ECB) for its main refinancing operations in euros (‘reference rate’), plus the rate specified in the
Data Sheet (Point 4.2). The reference rate is the rate in force on the first day of the month in which the
payment deadline expires, as published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union.
If the late-payment interest is lower than or equal to EUR 200, it will be paid to the coordinator only
on request submitted within two months of receiving the late payment.
Late-payment interest is not due if all beneficiaries are EU Member States (including regional and
local government authorities or other public bodies acting on behalf of a Member State for the purpose
of this Agreement).
If payments or the payment deadline are suspended (see Articles 29 and 30), payment will not be
considered as late.

above), up to and including the date of payment.
Late-payment interest is not considered for the purposes of calculating the final grant amount.
22.5.2 If the coordinator breaches any of its obligations under this Article, the grant may be reduced
(see Article 28) and the grant or the coordinator may be terminated (see Article 32).
Such breaches may also lead to other measures described in Chapter 5.
ARTICLE 23 — GUARANTEES
23.1 Prefinancing guarantee
If required by the granting authority (see Data Sheet, Point 4.2), the beneficiaries must provide (one
or more) prefinancing guarantee(s) in accordance with the timing and the amounts set out in the
Data Sheet.
The coordinator must submit them to the granting authority in due time before the prefinancing they
are linked to.
The guarantees must be drawn up using the template published on the Portal and fulfil the following
conditions:
(a) be provided by a bank or approved financial institution established in the EU or — if requested
by the coordinator and accepted by the granting authority — by a third party or a bank or
financial institution established outside the EU offering equivalent security
(b) the guarantor stands as first-call guarantor and does not require the granting authority to first
have recourse against the principal debtor (i.e. the beneficiary concerned) and
(c) remain explicitly in force until the final payment and, if the final payment takes the form of a
recovery, until five months after the debit note is notified to a beneficiary.
They will be released within the following month.
23.2 Consequences of non-compliance
If the beneficiaries breach their obligation to provide the prefinancing guarantee, the prefinancing
will not be paid.
Such breaches may also lead to other measures described in Chapter 5.
ARTICLE 24 — CERTIFICATES

certificates on their financial statements (CFS), in accordance with the schedule, threshold and
conditions set out in the Data Sheet.
The coordinator must submit them as part of the periodic report (see Article 21).
The certificates must be drawn up using the template published on the Portal, cover the costs declared
on the basis of actual costs and costs according to usual cost accounting practices (if any), and fulfil
the following conditions:
(a) be provided by a qualified approved external auditor which is independent and complies with
Directive 2006/43/EC21 (or for public bodies: by a competent independent public officer)
(b) the verification must be carried out according to the highest professional standards to ensure
that the financial statements comply with the provisions under the Agreement and that the costs
declared are eligible.
The certificates will not affect the granting authority's right to carry out its own checks, reviews or
audits, nor preclude the European Court of Auditors (ECA), the European Public Prosecutor’s Office
(EPPO) or the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) from using their prerogatives for audits and
investigations under the Agreement (see Article 25).
If the costs (or a part of them) were already audited by the granting authority, these costs do not need
to be covered by the certificate and will not be counted for calculating the threshold (if any).

compliance with the obligations under the Agreement (general project reviews or specific issues
reviews).
Such project reviews may be started during the implementation of the action and until the time-limit
set out in the Data Sheet (see Point 6). They will be formally notified to the coordinator or beneficiary
concerned and will be considered to start on the date of the notification.
If needed, the granting authority may be assisted by independent, outside experts. If it uses outside
experts, the coordinator or beneficiary concerned will be informed and have the right to object on
grounds of commercial confidentiality or conflict of interest.
The coordinator or beneficiary concerned must cooperate diligently and provide — within the deadline
requested — any information and data in addition to deliverables and reports already submitted
(including information on the use of resources). The granting authority may request beneficiaries
to provide such information to it directly. Sensitive information and documents will be treated in
accordance with Article 13.
The coordinator or beneficiary concerned may be requested to participate in meetings, including with
the outside experts.
For on-the-spot visits, the beneficiary concerned must allow access to sites and premises (including

The final audit report will take into account observations by the beneficiary concerned and will be
formally notified to them.
Audits (including audit reports) will be in the language of the Agreement.
25.2 European Commission checks, reviews and audits in grants of other granting
authorities
Where the granting authority is not the European Commission, the latter has the same rights of checks,
reviews and audits as the granting authority.
25.3 Access to records for assessing simplified forms of funding
The beneficiaries must give the European Commission access to their statutory records for the periodic
assessment of simplified forms of funding which are used in EU programmes.
25.4 OLAF, EPPO and ECA audits and investigations
The following bodies may also carry out checks, reviews, audits and investigations — during the
action or afterwards:
- the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) under Regulations No 883/201322 and No 2185/9623

on-the-spot visits or inspections — as provided for under these Regulations.
To this end, the beneficiary concerned must keep all relevant information relating to the action, at
least until the time-limit set out in the Data Sheet (Point 6) and, in any case, until any ongoing checks,
reviews, audits, investigations, litigation or other pursuits of claims have been concluded.
25.5 Consequences of checks, reviews, audits and investigations — Extension of results of
reviews, audits or investigations
25.5.1 Consequences of checks, reviews, audits and investigations in this grant
Findings in checks, reviews, audits or investigations carried out in the context of this grant may lead to
rejections (see Article 27), grant reduction (see Article 28) or other measures described in Chapter 5.
Rejections or grant reductions after the final payment will lead to a revised final grant amount (see
Article 22).
Findings in checks, reviews, audits or investigations during the action implementation may lead to a
request for amendment (see Article 39), to change the description of the action set out in Annex 1.
Checks, reviews, audits or investigations that find systemic or recurrent errors, irregularities, fraud
or breach of obligations in any EU grant may also lead to consequences in other EU grants awarded
under similar conditions (‘extension to other grants’).
Moreover, findings arising from an OLAF or EPPO investigation may lead to criminal prosecution
under national law.
25.5.2 Extension from other grants
Results of checks, reviews, audits or investigations in other grants may be extended to this grant, if:
(a) the beneficiary concerned is found, in other EU grants awarded under similar conditions, to
have committed systemic or recurrent errors, irregularities, fraud or breach of obligations that
have a material impact on this grant and
(b) those findings are formally notified to the beneficiary concerned — together with the list of
grants affected by the findings — within the time-limit for audits set out in the Data Sheet (see
Point 6).
The granting authority will formally notify the beneficiary concerned of the intention to extend the
findings and the list of grants affected.
If the extension concerns rejections of costs or contributions: the notification will include:
(a) an invitation to submit observations on the list of grants affected by the findings
(b) the request to submit revised financial statements for all grants affected
(c) the correction rate for extrapolation, established on the basis of the systemic or recurrent errors,
to calculate the amounts to be rejected, if the beneficiary concerned:

21/09/2023
(i) considers that the submission of revised financial statements is not possible or practicable
or
(ii) does not submit revised financial statements.
If the extension concerns grant reductions: the notification will include:
(a) an invitation to submit observations on the list of grants affected by the findings and
(b) the correction rate for extrapolation, established on the basis of the systemic or recurrent
errors and the principle of proportionality.
The beneficiary concerned has 60 days from receiving notification to submit observations, revised
financial statements or to propose a duly substantiated alternative correction method/rate.
On the basis of this, the granting authority will analyse the impact and decide on the implementation
(i.e. start rejection or grant reduction procedures, either on the basis of the revised financial statements
or the announced/alternative method/rate or a mix of those; see Articles 27 and 28).
25.6 Consequences of non-compliance
If a beneficiary breaches any of its obligations under this Article, costs or contributions insufficiently
substantiated will be ineligible (see Article 6) and will be rejected (see Article 27), and the grant may
be reduced (see Article 28).
Such breaches may also lead to other measures described in Chapter 5.
ARTICLE 26 — IMPACT EVALUATIONS
26.1 Impact evaluation
The granting authority may carry out impact evaluations of the action, measured against the objectives
and indicators of the EU programme funding the grant.
Such evaluations may be started during implementation of the action and until the time-limit set out
in the Data Sheet (see Point 6). They will be formally notified to the coordinator or beneficiaries and
will be considered to start on the date of the notification.
If needed, the granting authority may be assisted by independent outside experts.
The coordinator or beneficiaries must provide any information relevant to evaluate the impact of the
action, including information in electronic format.
26.2 Consequences of non-compliance
If a beneficiary breaches any of its obligations under this Article, the granting authority may apply
the measures described in Chapter 5.

SECTION 1 REJECTIONS AND GRANT REDUCTION
ARTICLE 27 — REJECTION OF COSTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS
27.1 Conditions
The granting authority will — at beneficiary termination, interim payment, final payment or
afterwards — reject any costs or contributions which are ineligible (see Article 6), in particular
following checks, reviews, audits or investigations (see Article 25).
The rejection may also be based on the extension of findings from other grants to this grant (see
Article 25).
Ineligible costs or contributions will be rejected.
27.2 Procedure
If the rejection does not lead to a recovery, the granting authority will formally notify the coordinator
or beneficiary concerned of the rejection, the amounts and the reasons why. The coordinator or
beneficiary concerned may — within 30 days of receiving notification — submit observations if it
disagrees with the rejection (payment review procedure).
If the rejection leads to a recovery, the granting authority will follow the contradictory procedure with
pre-information letter set out in Article 22.
27.3 Effects
If the granting authority rejects costs or contributions, it will deduct them from the costs or
contributions declared and then calculate the amount due (and, if needed, make a recovery; see
Article 22).
ARTICLE 28 — GRANT REDUCTION
28.1 Conditions
The granting authority may — at beneficiary termination, final payment or afterwards — reduce the
grant for a beneficiary, if:
(a) the beneficiary (or a person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or
person essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has committed:
(i) substantial errors, irregularities or fraud or
(ii) serious breach of obligations under this Agreement or during its award (including
improper implementation of the action, non-compliance with the call conditions,
submission of false information, failure to provide required information, breach of ethics
or security rules (if applicable), etc.), or
(b) the beneficiary (or a person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or
person essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has committed — in other EU grants

awarded to it under similar conditions — systemic or recurrent errors, irregularities, fraud or
serious breach of obligations that have a material impact on this grant (see Article 25).
The amount of the reduction will be calculated for each beneficiary concerned and proportionate to the
seriousness and the duration of the errors, irregularities or fraud or breach of obligations, by applying
an individual reduction rate to their accepted EU contribution.
28.2 Procedure
If the grant reduction does not lead to a recovery, the granting authority will formally notify the
coordinator or beneficiary concerned of the reduction, the amount to be reduced and the reasons why.
The coordinator or beneficiary concerned may — within 30 days of receiving notification — submit
observations if it disagrees with the reduction (payment review procedure).
If the grant reduction leads to a recovery, the granting authority will follow the contradictory procedure
with pre-information letter set out in Article 22.
28.3 Effects
If the granting authority reduces the grant, it will deduct the reduction and then calculate the amount
due (and, if needed, make a recovery; see Article 22).
SECTION 2 SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
ARTICLE 29 — PAYMENT DEADLINE SUSPENSION
29.1 Conditions
The granting authority may — at any moment — suspend the payment deadline if a payment cannot
be processed because:
(a) the required report (see Article 21) has not been submitted or is not complete or additional
information is needed
(b) there are doubts about the amount to be paid (e.g. ongoing audit extension procedure, queries
about eligibility, need for a grant reduction, etc.) and additional checks, reviews, audits or
investigations are necessary, or
(c) there are other issues affecting the EU financial interests.
29.2 Procedure
The granting authority will formally notify the coordinator of the suspension and the reasons why.
The suspension will take effect the day the notification is sent.
If the conditions for suspending the payment deadline are no longer met, the suspension will be lifted
— and the remaining time to pay (see Data Sheet, Point 4.2) will resume.
If the suspension exceeds two months, the coordinator may request the granting authority to confirm
if the suspension will continue.

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
If the payment deadline has been suspended due to the non-compliance of the report and the revised
report is not submitted (or was submitted but is also rejected), the granting authority may also terminate
the grant or the participation of the coordinator (see Article 32).
ARTICLE 30 — PAYMENT SUSPENSION
30.1 Conditions
The granting authority may — at any moment — suspend payments, in whole or in part for one or
more beneficiaries, if:
(a) a beneficiary (or a person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or
person essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has committed or is suspected of
having committed:
(i) substantial errors, irregularities or fraud or
(ii) serious breach of obligations under this Agreement or during its award (including
improper implementation of the action, non-compliance with the call conditions,
submission of false information, failure to provide required information, breach of ethics
or security rules (if applicable), etc.), or
(b) a beneficiary (or a person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or
person essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has committed — in other EU grants
awarded to it under similar conditions — systemic or recurrent errors, irregularities, fraud or
serious breach of obligations that have a material impact on this grant.
If payments are suspended for one or more beneficiaries, the granting authority will make partial
payment(s) for the part(s) not suspended. If suspension concerns the final payment, the payment (or
recovery) of the remaining amount after suspension is lifted will be considered to be the payment that
closes the action.
30.2 Procedure
Before suspending payments, the granting authority will send a pre-information letter to the
beneficiary concerned:
- formally notifying the intention to suspend payments and the reasons why and
- requesting observations within 30 days of receiving notification.
If the granting authority does not receive observations or decides to pursue the procedure despite the
observations it has received, it will confirm the suspension (confirmation letter). Otherwise, it will
formally notify that the procedure is discontinued.
At the end of the suspension procedure, the granting authority will also inform the coordinator.
The suspension will take effect the day after the confirmation notification is sent.
If the conditions for resuming payments are met, the suspension will be lifted. The granting authority
will formally notify the beneficiary concerned (and the coordinator) and set the suspension end date.
54
Project: 101129187 — EST-2-MyHealth — EU4H-2022-DGA-MS-IBA2
EU4H Ref.

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
During the suspension, no prefinancing will be paid to the beneficiaries concerned. For interim
payments, the periodic reports for all reporting periods except the last one (see Article 21) must
not contain any financial statements from the beneficiary concerned (or its affiliated entities). The
coordinator must include them in the next periodic report after the suspension is lifted or — if
suspension is not lifted before the end of the action — in the last periodic report.
ARTICLE 31 — GRANT AGREEMENT SUSPENSION
31.1 Consortium-requested GA suspension
31.1.1 Conditions and procedure
The beneficiaries may request the suspension of the grant or any part of it, if exceptional circumstances
— in particular force majeure (see Article 35) — make implementation impossible or excessively
difficult.
The coordinator must submit a request for amendment (see Article 39), with:
- the reasons why
- the date the suspension takes effect; this date may be before the date of the submission of the
amendment request and
- the expected date of resumption.
The suspension will take effect on the day specified in the amendment.
Once circumstances allow for implementation to resume, the coordinator must immediately request
another amendment of the Agreement to set the suspension end date, the resumption date (one day
after suspension end date), extend the duration and make other changes necessary to adapt the action
to the new situation (see Article 39) — unless the grant has been terminated (see Article 32). The
suspension will be lifted with effect from the suspension end date set out in the amendment. This date
may be before the date of the submission of the amendment request.
During the suspension, no prefinancing will be paid. Costs incurred or contributions for activities
implemented during grant suspension are not eligible (see Article 6.3).
31.2 EU-initiated GA suspension
31.2.1 Conditions
The granting authority may suspend the grant or any part of it, if:
(a) a beneficiary (or a person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or
person essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has committed or is suspected of
having committed:
(i) substantial errors, irregularities or fraud or
(ii) serious breach of obligations under this Agreement or during its award (including
improper implementation of the action, non-compliance with the call conditions,

submission of false information, failure to provide required information, breach of ethics
or security rules (if applicable), etc.), or
(b) a beneficiary (or a person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or
person essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has committed — in other EU grants
awarded to it under similar conditions — systemic or recurrent errors, irregularities, fraud or
serious breach of obligations that have a material impact on this grant
(c) other:
(i) linked action issues: not applicable
(ii) additional GA suspension grounds: not applicable.
31.2.2 Procedure
Before suspending the grant, the granting authority will send a pre-information letter to the
coordinator:
- formally notifying the intention to suspend the grant and the reasons why and
- requesting observations within 30 days of receiving notification.
If the granting authority does not receive observations or decides to pursue the procedure despite the
observations it has received, it will confirm the suspension (confirmation letter). Otherwise, it will
formally notify that the procedure is discontinued.
The suspension will take effect the day after the confirmation notification is sent (or on a later date
specified in the notification).
Once the conditions for resuming implementation of the action are met, the granting authority will
formally notify the coordinator a lifting of suspension letter, in which it will set the suspension
end date and invite the coordinator to request an amendment of the Agreement to set the resumption
date (one day after suspension end date), extend the duration and make other changes necessary to
adapt the action to the new situation (see Article 39) — unless the grant has been terminated (see
Article 32). The suspension will be lifted with effect from the suspension end date set out in the lifting
of suspension letter. This date may be before the date on which the letter is sent.
During the suspension, no prefinancing will be paid. Costs incurred or contributions for activities
implemented during suspension are not eligible (see Article 6.3).
The beneficiaries may not claim damages due to suspension by the granting authority (see Article 33).
Grant suspension does not affect the granting authority’s right to terminate the grant or a beneficiary
(see Article 32) or reduce the grant (see Article 28).
ARTICLE 32 — GRANT AGREEMENT OR BENEFICIARY TERMINATION
32.1 Consortium-requested GA termination
32.1.1 Conditions and procedure

Project: 101129187 — EST-2-MyHealth — EU4H-2022-DGA-MS-IBA2
EU4H Ref.
Associated with document MGAAres(2023)6408726
— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
The beneficiaries may request the termination of the grant.
The coordinator must submit a request for amendment (see Article 39), with:
- the reasons why
- the date the consortium ends work on the action (‘end of work date’) and
- the date the termination takes effect (‘termination date’); this date must be after the date of the
submission of the amendment request.
The termination will take effect on the termination date specified in the amendment.
If no reasons are given or if the granting authority considers the reasons do not justify termination,
it may consider the grant terminated improperly.
32.1.2 Effects
The coordinator must — within 60 days from when termination takes effect — submit a periodic
report (for the open reporting period until termination).
The granting authority will calculate the final grant amount and final payment on the basis of the report
submitted and taking into account the costs incurred and contributions for activities implemented
before the end of work date (see Article 22). Costs relating to contracts due for execution only after
the end of work are not eligible.
If the granting authority does not receive the report within the deadline, only costs and contributions
which are included in an approved periodic report will be taken into account (no costs/contributions
if no periodic report was ever approved).
Improper termination may lead to a grant reduction (see Article 28).
After termination, the beneficiaries’ obligations (in particular Articles 13 (confidentiality and
security), 16 (IPR), 17 (communication, dissemination and visibility), 21 (reporting), 25 (checks,
reviews, audits and investigations), 26 (impact evaluation), 27 (rejections), 28 (grant reduction) and
42 (assignment of claims)) continue to apply.
32.2 Consortium-requested beneficiary termination
32.2.1 Conditions and procedure
The coordinator may request the termination of the participation of one or more beneficiaries, on
request of the beneficiary concerned or on behalf of the other beneficiaries.
The coordinator must submit a request for amendment (see Article 39), with:
- the reasons why
- the opinion of the beneficiary concerned (or proof that this opinion has been requested in
writing)
- the date the beneficiary ends work on the action (‘end of work date’)
57
Project: 101129187 — EST-2-MyHealth — EU4H-2022-DGA-MS-IBA2

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
- the date the termination takes effect (‘termination date’); this date must be after the date of the
submission of the amendment request.
If the termination concerns the coordinator and is done without its agreement, the amendment request
must be submitted by another beneficiary (acting on behalf of the consortium).
The termination will take effect on the termination date specified in the amendment.
If no information is given or if the granting authority considers that the reasons do not justify
termination, it may consider the beneficiary to have been terminated improperly.
32.2.2 Effects
The coordinator must — within 60 days from when termination takes effect — submit:
(i) a report on the distribution of payments to the beneficiary concerned
(ii) a termination report from the beneficiary concerned, for the open reporting period until
termination, containing an overview of the progress of the work, the financial statement,
the explanation on the use of resources, and, if applicable, the certificate on the financial
statement (CFS; see Articles 21 and 24.2 and Data Sheet, Point 4.3)
(iii) a second request for amendment (see Article 39) with other amendments needed (e.g.
reallocation of the tasks and the estimated budget of the terminated beneficiary; addition of
a new beneficiary to replace the terminated beneficiary; change of coordinator, etc.).
The granting authority will calculate the amount due to the beneficiary on the basis of the report
submitted and taking into account the costs incurred and contributions for activities implemented
before the end of work date (see Article 22). Costs relating to contracts due for execution only after
the end of work are not eligible.
The information in the termination report must also be included in the periodic report for the next
reporting period (see Article 21).
If the granting authority does not receive the termination report within the deadline, only costs and
contributions which are included in an approved periodic report will be taken into account (no costs/
contributions if no periodic report was ever approved).
If the granting authority does not receive the report on the distribution of payments within the deadline,
it will consider that:
- the coordinator did not distribute any payment to the beneficiary concerned and that
- the beneficiary concerned must not repay any amount to the coordinator.
If the second request for amendment is accepted by the granting authority, the Agreement is amended
to introduce the necessary changes (see Article 39).
If the second request for amendment is rejected by the granting authority (because it calls into question
the decision awarding the grant or breaches the principle of equal treatment of applicants), the grant
may be terminated (see Article 32).

— Multi & Mono:-v1.1
21/09/2023
Improper termination may lead to a reduction of the grant (see Article 31) or grant termination (see
Article 32).
After termination, the concerned beneficiary’s obligations (in particular Articles 13 (confidentiality
and security), 16 (IPR), 17 (communication, dissemination and visibility), 21 (reporting), 25 (checks,
reviews, audits and investigations), 26 (impact evaluation), 27 (rejections), 28 (grant reduction) and
42 (assignment of claims)) continue to apply.
32.3 EU-initiated GA or beneficiary termination

(a) one or more beneficiaries do not accede to the Agreement (see Article 40)
(b) a change to the action or the legal, financial, technical, organisational or ownership situation
of a beneficiary is likely to substantially affect the implementation of the action or calls into
question the decision to award the grant (including changes linked to one of the exclusion
grounds listed in the declaration of honour)
(c) following termination of one or more beneficiaries, the necessary changes to the Agreement
(and their impact on the action) would call into question the decision awarding the grant or
breach the principle of equal treatment of applicants
(d) implementation of the action has become impossible or the changes necessary for its
continuation would call into question the decision awarding the grant or breach the principle
of equal treatment of applicants
(e) a beneficiary (or person with unlimited liability for its debts) is subject to bankruptcy
proceedings or similar (including insolvency, winding-up, administration by a liquidator or
court, arrangement with creditors, suspension of business activities, etc.)
(f) a beneficiary (or person with unlimited liability for its debts) is in breach of social security
or tax obligations
(g) a beneficiary (or person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or person
essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has been found guilty of grave professional
misconduct
(h) a beneficiary (or person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or person
essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has committed fraud, corruption, or is
involved in a criminal organisation, money laundering, terrorism-related crimes (including
terrorism financing), child labour or human trafficking
(i) a beneficiary (or person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or person

(i) substantial errors, irregularities or fraud or
(ii) serious breach of obligations under this Agreement or during its award (including
improper implementation of the action, non-compliance with the call conditions,
submission of false information, failure to provide required information, breach of ethics
or security rules (if applicable), etc.)
(k) a beneficiary (or person having powers of representation, decision-making or control, or person
essential for the award/implementation of the grant) has committed — in other EU grants
awarded to it under similar conditions — systemic or recurrent errors, irregularities, fraud or
serious breach of obligations that have a material impact on this grant (extension of findings
from other grants to this grant; see Article 25)
(l) despite a specific request by the granting authority, a beneficiary does not request — through
the coordinator — an amendment to the Agreement to end the participation of one of its
affiliated entities or associated partners that is in one of the situations under points (d), (f), (e),
(g), (h), (i) or (j) and to reallocate its tasks, or
(m) other:
(i) linked action issues: not applicable
(ii) additional GA termination grounds: not applicable.
32.3.2 Procedure
Before terminating the grant or participation of one or more beneficiaries, the granting authority will
send a pre-information letter to the coordinator or beneficiary concerned:
- formally notifying the intention to terminate and the reasons why and
- requesting observations within 30 days of receiving notification.
If the granting authority does not receive observations or decides to pursue the procedure despite
the observations it has received, it will confirm the termination and the date it will take effect
(confirmation letter). Otherwise, it will formally notify that the procedure is discontinued.
For beneficiary terminations, the granting authority will — at the end of the procedure — also inform
the coordinator.
The termination will take effect the day after the confirmation notification is sent (or on a later date
specified in the notification; ‘termination date’).
32.3.3 Effects
(a) for GA termination:
The coordinator must — within 60 days from when termination takes effect — submit a
periodic report (for the last open reporting period until termination).
The granting authority will calculate the final grant amount and final payment on the basis of
the report submitted and taking into account the costs incurred and contributions for activities

implemented before termination takes effect (see Article 22). Costs relating to contracts due
for execution only after termination are not eligible.
If the grant is terminated for breach of the obligation to submit reports, the coordinator may
not submit any report after termination.
If the granting authority does not receive the report within the deadline, only costs and
contributions which are included in an approved periodic report will be taken into account (no
costs/contributions if no periodic report was ever approved).
Termination does not affect the granting authority’s right to reduce the grant (see Article 28)
or to impose administrative sanctions (see Article 34).
The beneficiaries may not claim damages due to termination by the granting authority (see
Article 33).
After termination, the beneficiaries’ obligations (in particular Articles 13 (confidentiality
and security), 16 (IPR), 17 (communication, dissemination and visibility), 21 (reporting), 25
(checks, reviews, audits and investigations), 26 (impact evaluation), 27 (rejections), 28 (grant
reduction) and 42 (assignment of claims)) continue to apply.
(b) for beneficiary termination:
The coordinator must — within 60 days from when termination takes effect — submit:

on the financial statement (CFS; see Articles 21 and 24.2 and Data Sheet, Point 4.3)
(iii) a request for amendment (see Article 39) with any amendments needed (e.g.
reallocation of the tasks and the estimated budget of the terminated beneficiary;
addition of a new beneficiary to replace the terminated beneficiary; change of
coordinator, etc.).
The granting authority will calculate the amount due to the beneficiary on the basis of the
report submitted and taking into account the costs incurred and contributions for activities
implemented before termination takes effect (see Article 22). Costs relating to contracts due
for execution only after termination are not eligible.
The information in the termination report must also be included in the periodic report for the
next reporting period (see Article 21).
If the granting authority does not receive the termination report within the deadline, only costs
and contributions included in an approved periodic report will be taken into account (no costs/
contributions if no periodic report was ever approved).
If the granting authority does not receive the report on the distribution of payments within the
deadline, it will consider that:

- the coordinator did not distribute any payment to the beneficiary concerned and that
- the beneficiary concerned must not repay any amount to the coordinator.
If the request for amendment is accepted by the granting authority, the Agreement is amended
to introduce the necessary changes (see Article 39).
If the request for amendment is rejected by the granting authority (because it calls into question
the decision awarding the grant or breaches the principle of equal treatment of applicants), the
grant may be terminated (see Article 32).
After termination, the concerned beneficiary’s obligations (in particular Articles 13
(confidentiality and security), 16 (IPR), 17 (communication, dissemination and visibility),
21 (reporting), 25 (checks, reviews, audits and investigations), 26 (impact evaluation), 27
(rejections), 28 (grant reduction) and 42 (assignment of claims)) continue to apply.

SECTION 4 FORCE MAJEURE
ARTICLE 35 — FORCE MAJEURE
A party prevented by force majeure from fulfilling its obligations under the Agreement cannot be
considered in breach of them.
‘Force majeure’ means any situation or event that:
- prevents either party from fulfilling their obligations under the Agreement,
- was unforeseeable, exceptional situation and beyond the parties’ control,
- was not due to error or negligence on their part (or on the part of other participants involved
in the action), and
- proves to be inevitable in spite of exercising all due diligence.
Any situation constituting force majeure must be formally notified to the other party without delay,
stating the nature, likely duration and foreseeable effects.
The parties must immediately take all the necessary steps to limit any damage due to force majeure
and do their best to resume implementation of the action as soon as possible.
CHAPTER 6 FINAL PROVISIONS
ARTICLE 36 — COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES
36.1 Forms and means of communication — Electronic management
EU grants are managed fully electronically through the EU Funding & Tenders Portal (‘Portal’).
All communications must be made electronically through the Portal, in accordance with the Portal
Terms and Conditions and using the forms and templates provided there (except if explicitly instructed
otherwise by the granting authority).
Communications must be made in writing and clearly identify the grant agreement (project number
and acronym).
Communications must be made by persons authorised according to the Portal Terms and Conditions.
For naming the authorised persons, each beneficiary must have designated — before the signature of
this Agreement — a ‘legal entity appointed representative (LEAR)’. The role and tasks of the LEAR
are stipulated in their appointment letter (see Portal Terms and Conditions).
If the electronic exchange system is temporarily unavailable, instructions will be given on the Portal.

Amendments may be requested by any of the parties.
39.2 Procedure
The party requesting an amendment must submit a request for amendment signed directly in the Portal
Amendment tool.
The coordinator submits and receives requests for amendment on behalf of the beneficiaries (see
Annex 3). If a change of coordinator is requested without its agreement, the submission must be done
by another beneficiary (acting on behalf of the other beneficiaries).
The request for amendment must include:
- the reasons why
- the appropriate supporting documents and
- for a change of coordinator without its agreement: the opinion of the coordinator (or proof that
this opinion has been requested in writing).
The granting authority may request additional information.
If the party receiving the request agrees, it must sign the amendment in the tool within 45 days of
receiving notification (or any additional information the granting authority has requested). If it does
not agree, it must formally notify its disagreement within the same deadline. The deadline may be
extended, if necessary for the assessment of the request. If no notification is received within the
deadline, the request is considered to have been rejected.
An amendment enters into force on the day of the signature of the receiving party.
An amendment takes effect on the date of entry into force or other date specified in the amendment.
ARTICLE 40 — ACCESSION AND ADDITION OF NEW BENEFICIARIES
40.1 Accession of the beneficiaries mentioned in the Preamble
The beneficiaries which are not coordinator must accede to the grant by signing the accession form
(see Annex 3) directly in the Portal Grant Preparation tool, within 30 days after the entry into force
of the Agreement (see Article 44).
They will assume the rights and obligations under the Agreement with effect from the date of its entry
into force (see Article 44).
If a beneficiary does not accede to the grant within the above deadline, the coordinator must — within
30 days — request an amendment (see Article 39) to terminate the beneficiary and make any changes
necessary to ensure proper implementation of the action. This does not affect the granting authority’s
right to terminate the grant (see Article 32).
40.2 Addition of new beneficiaries
In justified cases, the beneficiaries may request the addition of a new beneficiary.

21/09/2023
For this purpose, the coordinator must submit a request for amendment in accordance with Article 39.
It must include an accession form (see Annex 3) signed by the new beneficiary directly in the Portal

Additions are also possible in mono-beneficiary grants.
ARTICLE 41 — TRANSFER OF THE AGREEMENT
In justified cases, the beneficiary of a mono-beneficiary grant may request the transfer of the grant to
a new beneficiary, provided that this would not call into question the decision awarding the grant or
breach the principle of equal treatment of applicants.
The beneficiary must submit a request for amendment (see Article 39), with
- the reasons why
- the accession form (see Annex 3) signed by the new beneficiary directly in the Portal
Amendment tool and
- additional supporting documents (if required by the granting authority).
The new beneficiary will assume the rights and obligations under the Agreement with effect from the

ARTICLE 42 — ASSIGNMENTS OF CLAIMS FOR PAYMENT AGAINST THE
GRANTING AUTHORITY
The beneficiaries may not assign any of their claims for payment against the granting authority to
any third party, except if expressly approved in writing by the granting authority on the basis of a
reasoned, written request by the coordinator (on behalf of the beneficiary concerned).
If the granting authority has not accepted the assignment or if the terms of it are not observed, the
assignment will have no effect on it.
In no circumstances will an assignment release the beneficiaries from their obligations towards the
granting authority.
ARTICLE 43 — APPLICABLE LAW AND SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES
43.1 Applicable law
The Agreement is governed by the applicable EU law, supplemented if necessary by the law of

If a dispute concerns the interpretation, application or validity of the Agreement, the parties must bring
action before the EU General Court — or, on appeal, the EU Court of Justice — under Article 272
of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU).
For non-EU beneficiaries (if any), such disputes must be brought before the courts of Brussels,
Belgium — unless an international agreement provides for the enforceability of EU court judgements.
For beneficiaries with arbitration as special dispute settlement forum (if any; see Data Sheet, Point 5),
the dispute will — in the absence of an amicable settlement — be settled in accordance with the Rules
for Arbitration published on the Portal.
If a dispute concerns administrative sanctions, offsetting or an enforceable decision under Article 299
TFEU (see Articles 22 and 34), the beneficiaries must bring action before the General Court — or, on
appeal, the Court of Justice — under Article 263 TFEU.
For grants where the granting authority is an EU executive agency (see Preamble), actions against
offsetting and enforceable decisions must be brought against the European Commission (not against
the granting authority; see also Article 22).
ARTICLE 44 — ENTRY INTO FORCE
The Agreement will enter into force on the day of signature by the granting authority or the
coordinator, depending on which is later.

1. RELEVANCE
1.1 Background and general objectives
Background and general objectives
Describe the background and rationale of the project.
How is the project relevant to the scope of the call? How does the project address the general objectives
of the call? What is the project’s contribution to the priorities of the call?
The main objective of this application is to support Estonian efforts to be part of a secure peer-to-peer
Member States government’s network allowing the exchange of medical documentation through the
MyHealth@EU infrastructure (also known as eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure/eHDSI).
MyHealth@EU is the infrastructure built by the Member States and the Commission to enable the secure
cross-border exchange of elements of patients’ Electronic Health Records, such as:
• Patient Summary,
• ePrescriptions,
• Original Clinical Documents,
• Medical images and medical imaging reports,
• Laboratory results,
• Hospital discharge reports.
MyHealth@EU is intended to serve as a main building block of the European Health Data Space for the
primary use of health data. Currently, it is an operational infrastructure defined in the Commission
Implementing Decision 2019/1765 of 22 October 2019 under the Cross-Border Healthcare Directive and
embedded where relevant in the Member States national law. The infrastructure is being deployed by
most of the Member States and is already operational in more than 10 Member States, including Estonia.
It provides a secure way to enable access to citizens’ health data when they are abroad.
Currently, the services deployed in Estonia at the NCPeH are Patient Summary (in routine operations
since August 2022) and ePrescriptions (in routine operations since January 2019).1 Estonia is in progress
of major update to national Health Information System, which means that old national e-health services
are being moved to a new platform as microservices. Under this objective, the Patient Summary service
will also be brought to the new platform as a microservice which, in addition to being a more reliable
service, will also allow to make continuous upgrades easier. Also Patient Summary will be updated with
missing allergies and intolerances section.
The Member States cooperation on MyHealth@EU paves the way to reach the following general
objectives:
1) Enable seamless cross-border care and secure access to patient health information between
European healthcare systems.
2) Contribute to patient safety by reducing the frequency of medical errors and by providing quick
access to patient health information, as well as by increasing the accessibility of a patient's own
prescriptions, also when abroad.
3) Provide medical personnel with life-saving information in emergencies and reduce the repetition
of diagnostic procedures.
Additionally, services provided by MyHealth@EU are significantly contributing to the Pillar 1 and Pillar 2
of the Commission Communication on digital transformation in health and care, which are: firstly, citizens'
secure access to their health data, also across borders and secondly, personalised medicine through
shared European data infrastructure. Health technology is considered critical to the Digital Single Market.
The Digital Single Market Strategy seeks to provide the essential interoperability and standardisation in
the health area, including eHealth and telemedicine.

1.2 Needs analysis and specific objectives
Needs analysis and specific objectives
Describe how the objectives of the project are based on a sound needs analysis in line with the specific
objectives of the call. What issue/challenge/gap does the project aim to address?
The objectives should be clear, measureable, realistic and achievable within the duration of the project.
For each objective, define appropriate indicators for measuring achievement (including a unit of
measurement, baseline value and target value).
The objective of this project will be to ensure stable routine operations and necessary further development
of the already operational NCPeH. Currently, the services deployed at the NCPeH are Patient Summary
(in routine operations since August 2022) and ePrescriptions (in routine operations since January 2019).
Under the proposed action, the NCPeH will:
- Ensure stable operations of the deployed MyHealth@EU services, more especially the Patient
Summary service by bringing it to a new platform, which will enable a more reliable service and
create better opportunities for any updates in the future.
Estonia is currently in progress of major update to national Health Information System, which
means that old national e-health services are being moved to a new platform as microservices.
Under this objective, the Patient Summary service will also be brought to the new platform as a
microservice which, in addition to being a more reliable service, will also allow to make
continuous upgrades easier.
- Improve the national allergy related data exchange standards to ensure allergy data for Patient
Summary, which is currently incomplete.
New national FHIR based standards will be created according to dataset, which will be agreed
on between different national stakeholders. This will enable all Estonian health care providers to
implement the new standards and start providing allergy related information to the National
Health Information System (ENHIS). As Patient Summary is automatically composed of the data
in ENHIS, it will also enable the necessary information in the Patient Summary service.
The allergies and intolerances data section is considered part of the basic sections meaning that
it must be present in a Patient Summary document. The missing data in this section for an
Estonian Patient Summary is currently evaluated as finding and is in need for improvement.
- Implement upgrades to the new versions of MyHealth@EU artefacts adopted yearly by the
eHMSEG and participate in yearly formal and upgrade test events.
- Translation of the Orphanet rare disease nomenclature (ORPHAcode) as a new value set, which
has been added to the MyHealth@EU Master Valueset Catalogue. This would allow to display
the information coming from other NCPeH in Estonian to Estonian health care professionals. The
translation will be done in collaboration with Estonian rare diseases expert centre. The value set
is currently planned to be translated in possible amount as, according to rare disease experts,
not all codes can be translated/are reasonable to be translated.
Out of scope for this proposed action, but perhaps an effect of it is that the translation of
ORPHAcode nomenclature would create an opportunity to move forward with the implementation
of using the codes in national health data exchange in the future, which would allow for this
information to be added to Patient Summary as well.
MyHealth@EU Key Performance Indicators will be used for measuring achievement of the action. All
indicators listed below are for Estonia only (not for the entire MyHealth@EU).
The following Key Performance Indicators will be used for measuring achievement of the action:
- Numbers of yearly upgrades - Three annual upgrades are planned under the proposed
action according to the MyHealth@EU upgrade process.
- Numbers of yearly formal and upgrade test events participation - Three annual formal and
upgrade test events are planned under the proposed action. An Outcome Summary Report and

1.3 Complementarity with other actions and innovation — European added value
Complementarity with other actions and innovation
Explain how the project builds on the results of past activities carried out in the field and describe its
innovative aspects. Explain how the activities are complementary to other activities carried out by other
organisations.
Illustrate the European dimension of the activities: trans-national dimension of the project; impact/interest
for a number of EU countries; possibility to use the results in other countries, potential to develop mutual
trust/cross-border cooperation among EU countries, etc.
Which countries will benefit from the project (directly and indirectly)? Where will the activities take place?
The proposed action directly supports the freedom of movement of European citizens between Member
States by facilitating the delivery of emergency medical care to citizens when they are in a Member State
that is not their country of affiliation. Free movement of persons is one of the fundamental rights of EU
citizens. This right is used to a large extent and, in order to implement it, citizens need to be able to ensure
the portability of their previous history, be it contributions to unemployment benefits or pensions, medical
insurance or medical history. In 2020, Among the EU citizens of working age, 3.3 % resided in an EU
country other than that of their citizenship. Both Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social
security systems and the Directive 2011/24/EU on the application of patients' rights in cross-border
healthcare allow for cross border healthcare and reimbursements, both in case of planned and unplanned
care.
The initial deployment and first Member States implementation of MyHealth@EU was supported by the
European Union, through Connecting Europe Facility Telecom Programme. In 2015-2020, both the
Commission and 25 Member States have received financial support to develop, deploy and operate the
system for the cross-border exchange of health data.
However, the Member States prioritized the cross-border exchange of health data much earlier. From
2007-2013 the Commission supported the Member States implementation of the epSOS large scale
project, which have developed the specifications and software (OpenNCP), which was further refined and
implemented at national level in MyHealth@EU.
So far there are more than 10 Member States in routine operations with MyHealth@EU services, and
almost all other Member States (+Norway and Iceland) are expected to join by 2025.
Estonia has deployed the cross-border services under MyHealth@EU and is an active governance
member. Estonia has also participated in other EU projects/collaborations, which have all contributed to
MyHealth@EU, e.g. the abovementioned large scale piloting project epSOS and X-eHealth to develop
the specifications for additional cross-border services, which have contributed enormously to the cross-
border services under MyHealth@EU.
Estonia has its members in the European governance bodies, which are responsible for governing
MyHealth@EU.
Those are:

2.1 Concept and methodology
Concept and methodology
Outline the approach and methodology behind the project. Explain why they are the most suitable for
achieving the project’s objectives.
The proposed action will follow the existing guidelines of MyHealth@EU in regards to implementing new
versions of the artefacts, testing and upgrading. The national improvements will be made according to the
national development process and Patient Summary will be updated, taking into account that any major
updates in the service will require passing the testing phase before it can be released.
The value set translation will be carried out in collaboration with the experts to ensure the quality of
translations.
The project team will continue to participate in relevant eHMSEG governance structures and task forces
to be informed and to contribute to the MyHealth@EU artefacts new versions.
The project will be coordinated by Ministry of Social Affairs Estonia (MSAE) (Competent Authority) and
Estonian Health and Welfare Information Systems Centre (TEHIK) (Affiliated Entity and also responsible
for maintaining the NCPeH for Estonia).

Associated with document Ref. Ares(2023)6408726 - 21/09/2023
EU Grants: Description of the action (DoA) — Annex 1
Consortium management and decision-making (if applicable)
Explain the management structures and decision-making mechanisms within the consortium. Describe
how decisions will be taken and how regular and effective communication will be ensured. Describe
methods to ensure planning and control.
Note: The concept (including organisational structure and decision-making mechanisms) must be
adapted to the complexity and scale of the project.
The management structure of this project has been designed to best respond the needs to update and
maintain the MyHealth@EU services from Estonian side.
Coordination role and management of the WP-s 1-4 is fulfilled by TEHIK with some support of MSAE.
TEHIK will ensure the implementation of best practices and suitable policies for sustainable project results
and it will respect traditional and accepted project management standards and principles. Each work
package and each task planned within each work package has a time schedule which needs close
monitoring and careful evaluation, this will be established through and effective internal communication.
Management activities are focused not only on executing the project but also for ensuring the sustainability
after the project deadline.
The Steering Committee will be created as an operational body including project managers, relevant
department or team leaders, subcontractor representatives (if applicable), and the WP leaders, as a
decision-making body taking care of the daily running of the project, with prerogatives regarding minor
updates and effort/budget re-assignment, as well as conflict resolution. Each SC member can
participate to the SC meetings with one or more representatives.

2.5 Project management, quality assurance and monitoring and evaluation strategy
Project management, quality assurance and monitoring and evaluation strategy
Describe the measures planned to ensure that the project implementation is of high quality and completed
in time.
Describe the methods to ensure good quality, monitoring, planning and control.
Describe the evaluation methods and indicators (quantitative and qualitative) to monitor and verify the
outreach and coverage of the activities and results (including unit of measurement, baseline and target
values). The indicators proposed to measure progress should be relevant, realistic and measurable.
The project approach requires that the tasks of the maanagement and coordination (WP1) is strongly
interconnected with the evaluation and sustainability (WP3) and dissemination, training and support
(WP2). The maintenance and development (WP4) recieves input from all other WP-s. These WPs are
interdependent in several ways: an output from one task can become the input for another task from the
same or another WP. This implies that there is a need not only to apply clear and straightforward project
management methodologies, but also to establish effective communication and coordination between
WP leaders and task leaders.
In the project management the project managers will look over different aspects to support the work of all
WPs and people involved, as well assure quality of the processes. Taking into account methodologies
and strategies created within WPs for the specific project and the risk assessment derived from the
possible risks identified in section 2.7.

3. IMPACT
3.1 Impact and ambition
Impact and ambition — Progress beyond the state-of-the-art
Define the short, medium and long-term effects of the project.
Who are the target groups? How will the target groups benefit concretely from the project and what would
change for them?
Does the project aim to trigger change/innovation? If so, describe them and the degree of ambition
(progress beyond the status quo/state-of-the-art).
The cross-border services that have been put in place primarily target the following actors:
• EU citizens including Estonians;
• health professionals;
• Estonia’s competent authority and affiliated entity
First, all the European citizens (including Estonians) are the beneficiaries of the planned action. As all
citizens are using healthcare services in their countries of affiliation, the data are electronically captured
in the national, regional and local databases. In line with the targets of the European Health Data Space,
the action will enable availability of this data in another Member State when the citizens are travelling or
moving their residence. Following the establishment of the NCPeH, addition of further services in the
future becomes more straightforward, enabling the extension of the cross-border infrastructure to further
data categories of the full electronic health record.
Secondly, the action affects health professionals, who are the direct users of the electronic health record
systems. The connection of these systems to the NCPeH enables the availability of relevant health data
when patients use the services of different healthcare providers in different Member States. Health
professionals will be able to rely on the availability of data provided by them if the patient is using
healthcare services abroad, increasing the importance and impact of their work on documenting
healthcare encounters. The availability of MyHealth@EU services and corresponding new IT tools will, in
the medium term, change their way of working and enable new medical processes. In the longer term,
this solution will be popularized among health professionals and integrated with the hospital information
systems.
Finally, MSAE and TEHIK are the ones impacted by the implementation of the proposed action in the
short term. Estonia is currently planning implementation efforts related to the European Health Data
Space, including updating and maintaining the MyHealth@EU infrastructure for the primary use of
electronic health data. The MS governments are responsible for enabling the resources necessary to set
up and connect the NCPeH to their national infrastructures as well as its maintenance. At the same time,
the government bodies are responsible for legal aspects of the project implementation. The relevant
Patient Information Notices have to be drafted and made available to all citizens. The governments must
make sure that their systems, including the connections to MyHealth@EU, follow the General Data
Protection Regulation.
Current project ensures that the cross-border services that have been put in place in Estonia, are
continuously upgraded according to the MyHealth@EU artefacts and tested with other countries to ensure
the quality of the services by improving the national allergy related data exchange standards additionally
for allergy data for Patient Summary, which is currently incomplete. As well as to ensure the national

platform of the service is efficient. Efficiency is ensured by stable operations of the deployed
MyHealth@EU services, more especially the Patient Summary service by bringing it to a new platform,
which will enable a more reliable service and create better opportunities for any updates in the future. The
Patient Summary service will also be brought to the new platform as a microservice which, in addition to
being a more reliable service, will also allow to make continuous upgrades easier.

3.2 Communication, dissemination and visibility
Communication, dissemination and visibility of funding
Describe the communication and dissemination activities which are planned in order to promote the
activities/results and maximise the impact (to whom, which format, how many, etc.). Clarify how you will
reach the target groups, relevant stakeholders, policymakers and the general public and explain the
choice of the dissemination channels.
Describe how the visibility of EU funding will be ensured.
The objective of the communication and dissemination activities will be to raise awareness and demand
among citizens and health professionals regarding the provision of cross-border eHealth services, offer
educational and training initiatives to empower and support end-users as well as other MS entering
operation.
Citizens should also be made aware of their rights about cross-border care and about the availability of
eHealth cross-border services in term of actions to be done while still at home, to enable the use of these
eHealth services (i.e. consent signature) and about the activated points of care in the visited countries.
As the cross-border ePrescription and Patient Summary services are already in routine operations in
Estonia and the main communication, dissemination and training was already performed during the
project, focus during the current action will be on continuously raising the awareness of both health care
professionals and citizen of the cross-border e-health services. The main communication channels used
could be:
- Keeping the information up-to-date on websites, co-ordinated with the websites of other Member
States if needed
- Social Media, web channels, press releases (upon opening service with new country for
example)
- Direct contact to health care providers via mailing lists if needed
An overall communication strategy will be defined and as far as possible aligned with the other Member
States.

3.3 Sustainability and continuation
Sustainability, long-term impact and continuation
Describe the follow-up of the project after the EU funding ends. How will the project impact be ensured
and sustained?
What will need to be done? Which parts of the project should be continued or maintained? How will this
be achieved? Which resources will be necessary to continue the project? How will the results be used?
Are there any possible synergies/complementarities with other (EU funded) activities that can build on the
project results?
The proposed action will support the maintenance of the National Contact Point for eHealth (NCPeH) in
Estonia. The NCPeH is a unique national gateway enabling the cross-border exchange of medical
documentation. To get the positive decision from the eHealth Network to start the routine operations, the
NCPeH needed to undergo the set of tests and compliance check. One of the compliance check criteria
is to prove that the NCPeH has a national legal mandate for the cross-border exchange of data. Getting
this mandate at national level makes NCPeH the part of national infrastructure with clearly established

responsibilities. This process was put in place to ensure the legal and operational sustainability of the
NCPeH responsible for the data exchange.
After the development and deployment, the maintenance of the NCPeH has been ensured. In this context,
an operational compliance check (OCC) will need to be undertaken 3 years after the start of the routine
operations (for ePrescription service the OCC took place in 2022 and for Patient Summary service the
OCC is planned in 2025). In addition, the NCPeH will continue to take part regularly in test sessions,
including in the context of the annual upgrade and before starting new exchanges with additional countries
for a specific service.
Since the ePrescription service has been operational in Estonia for more than 3 years, Estonian NCPeH
has been successfully sustaining and continuing routine operations after the initial project grant duration.
The maintenance (including operational compliance check, annual upgrades and necessary further
improvements) has also been ensured over time.
After the proposed action grant duration, the funding for maintenance and routine operation for the cross-
border services will be ensured nationally as it has been previously.

Subcontracting
Give details on subcontracted project tasks (if any) and explain the reasons why (as opposed to direct implementation by the Beneficiaries/Affiliated Entities).
Subcontracting — Subcontracting means the implementation of ‘action tasks’, i.e. specific tasks which are part of the EU grant and are described in Annex 1 of the Grant
Agreement.
Note: Subcontracting concerns the outsourcing of a part of the project to a party outside the consortium. It is not simply about purchasing goods or services. We normally
expect that the participants have sufficient operational capacity to implement the project activities themselves. Subcontracting should therefore be exceptional.
Include only subcontracts that comply with the rules (i.e. best value for money and no conflict of interest; no subcontracting of coordinator tasks).

EU Grants: Description of the action (DoA) — Annex 1
Subcontracting a service, for which competencies are not available in-house, will be more efficient than
recruiting new people in-house for the tasks for only the project period. As the procurement rules and
procedures are in place, there are more possibilities to ensure the quality of the outcome (the
subcontractors will probably have more different resources available in addition to developers, for example
system analysts, testers).
The project is focusing on the technical improvement of the existing services, which means that the major
part of the budget also forms of this.

1 See Article 6 for the eligibility conditions. All amounts must be expressed in EUR (see Article 21 for the conversion rules).
2 The consortium remains free to decide on a different internal distribution of the EU funding (via the consortium agreement; see Article 7).
3 Indirect costs already covered by an operating grant (received under any EU funding programme) are ineligible (see Article 6.3). Therefore, a beneficiary/affiliated entity that receives an operating grant during the action duration cannot declare indirect costs for the year(s)/reporting period(s) covered by the operating grant, unless they can
demonstrate that the operating grant does not cover any costs of the action. This requires specific accounting tools. Please immediately contact us via the EU Funding & Tenders Portal for details.
4 See Data Sheet for the funding rate(s).
5 This is the theoretical amount of the EU contribution to costs, if the reimbursement rate is applied to all the budgeted costs. This theoretical amount is then capped by the 'maximum grant amount'.
6 The 'maximum grant amount' is the maximum grant amount decided by the EU. It normally corresponds to the requested grant, but may be lower.
7 See Annex 2a 'Additional information on the estimated budget' for the details (units, cost per unit).
8 See Data Sheet for the flat-rate.
