Eligible costs are:
- Implementation costs of a Pool’s IPPP Concept: experts' fees, workshop premises and materials, experts’ travel and subsistence costs, etc.;
- Subsistence and travel costs of the Pool members to participate in work sessions. Accommodation, living and travel expenses of the producers and other participants (notably authors, scriptwriters and directors) to travel to work sessions to be held in common will also be covered, providing they are not excessive, that they can be duly attested and that they respect fundamental financial management principles.
- Coordination costs. The charges for the pool's administration, coordination and communication are covered. Charges for materials and supplies can also be covered, provided these can be clearly identified and proven necessary to carrying out the IPPP concept.
Fees for Pool members (producers and associated participants) and overheads costs are not eligible.
A list of middle-range costs is available for the Pools to base their budget on.
