Can a micro-enterprise or sole trader (a natural person, not a legal entity) be a Project Partner in an Interreg Euro-MED project? If not, can it be an Associated Partner? If so, what legal status documents are required for the partner’s national validation? What specific conditions apply to this status (financial capacity, co-financing, State aid / de minimis)?

Individuals are not eligible to participate in Interreg projects, either as partners or associated partners. Only legal entities with legal capacity may participate. Please refer to the Programme Manual – I. Developing my project and submitting my application – A. Building my partnership – i. Partnership structure.
