Taking into consideration the need for a common understanding of the provisions of the Articles 16.2 and 16.3 (Suspension by the Lead Beneficiary) from the Grant Contract, the Managing Authority has issued an Instruction to support the beneficiaries by indicating the procedural steps to be followed and the communication flow. Further, it clarifies the suspension start date if the request is initiated by the Managing Authority (article 16.4 from the Grant Contract).
