Interviewees who have to spend one or more nights at the place where the interview is held because the times of interviews are incompatible with the times of flights or trainsf1, shall also be entitled to an accommodation allowance. This allowance shall be EUR 100 per night. The number of nights may not exceed the number of interview days + 1.
