Common use of Approval of Actions Clause in Contracts

Approval of Actions. 6.5.1 To be financed by the Trust Fund, Actions must be previously approved by the Operational Board, except for Actions below EUR 1 000 000, which may be decided by the Manager alone and which will be communicated immediately to the Operational Board, in light of the objectives of the Trust Fund in Article 2 and the eligibility criteria contained in Article 9.1, and to the extent that sufficient uncommitted Trust Fund monies remain available in the Trust Fund Account (as defined in Article 8. 2.1). Each Donor may propose actions to the Manager for submission to the Operational Board provided that they fall within the remit of the Trust Fund and comply with guidelines laid down by the Board. 6.5.2 The Manager shall submit for approval by the Operational Board one or more proposed Actions. The information concerning each proposed Action shall take the form of a short document ("Action Document", the form thereof shall be as set out in Annex IV), containing key information for each Action, such as aid modality, calendar, estimated budget, etc. The Manager shall present these Action Documents during the relevant meeting of the Operational Board. For actions where the implementation of tasks is delegated to a third entity (the "Implementing Partner"), the Action Document shall indicate the name of the Implementing Partner or, where still not identified, the type of organisations envisaged and the criteria to be applied to select them. 6.5.3 Once an individual Action is approved by the Operational Board, it shall be implemented in accordance with the Action Document. If, during the implementation phase, substantial change7 in the characteristics of the Action is required after its approval by the Operational Board, the Manager shall present to the Operational Board for approval the consequent modification of the relevant Action Document reflecting those changes, prior to their implementation. Where, in exceptional cases of extreme urgency, changes need to be introduced in an Action, the Manager may modify the Action Document and inform immediately the Operational Board, which may oppose such modification in a time period of ten working days since the information has been notified to it.
