Article 40 Emergency measures

Applications for emergency measures shall be presented by the responsible authority in accordance with the model in Annex 12.

Any adoption of emergency measures by the Commission shall lead to an amendment of the financing decision approving the annual programme of the Member State concerned. The amendment shall indicate the amount allocated to the Member State concerned, the period for which the expenditure is eligible and, when appropriate, the derogation from the eligibility rules for expenditure defined in Annex 11 in relation to action listed in Article 5 of the basic act.

The report on implementation of these measures shall be included in the progress report and in the final report on implementation of the annual programme concerned.

A first pre-financing payment, equalling 80 % of the amount allocated to the emergency measures, shall be made to the Member State within 60 days following adoption of the decision referred to in paragraph 2. The balance shall be paid when the same payment is made for the annual programme concerned.
