FAQ Question: What landowner agreement is required when multiple public authorities have jurisdiction over the project area, and is it still needed if one of these authorities is already an Associated Partner? Shorter version: Who must provide the landowner agreement when several public authorities are responsible for the project area, and does an Associated Partner status replace this requirement?

In the hypothesis that the partner is not the owner of the land or the facilities where the pilot action will take place, an agreement with the facilities owner is necessary and shall be uploaded with the Application form annexes on 27/11.

The Programme does not provide any template, but the agreement of principle shall ensure compliance with the Programme’s obligations (free disposal agreement to end users, durability, long-term and audit obligations regarding investments,…)^. In case the document is not in one of the Programme’s official languages (EN, FR) its courtesy translation should be also provided

If the landowner is an Associated Partner (AP), the related section in Jems for AP shall be filled-in ensuring the same requirements as above and the signed and dated AP declaration shall be provided with the annexes on 27/11. A proper agreement will be requested at a later stage in case of selection.
