Common use of Payment Claims Clause in Contracts

Payment Claims. Payment claims presented to the Commission by beneficiary countries are based on declarations of expenditure actually paid out as defined in section II point 6. In the case of work undertaken by a concessionaire or equivalent body, the responsible government authority must certify the correctness of the expenditure. Payment claims must be registered and certified by the National Authorising Officer. Claims are then forwarded to the Commission via the Commission Delegation.
