Those applying for the grant must fill in the specific application form which, by default and unless any specific objections are forthcoming, authorises the authorities in Navarra to make the necessary consultations with other public authorities in order to ascertain compliance with the requirements set out in the public notice.
The application form will also include the responsible declaration concerning compliance with the mandatory requisites, and the declaration that public grants, including those applied for pursuant to this public notice, received in accordance with the Temporary Framework, do not exceed EUR 1.8 million.

In cases where the beneficiary is obliged to audit the annual accounts, the same auditor will conduct the review of the justificatory account.
The applications may be submitted from 20 July 2021 up to 20 September 2021.
