Division (E) International cooperation

Security concerns can not be invoked as a reason for the rejection of proposals for non-classified ERC actions that entail the participation of entities from a third country^f1. The only exceptions to this will occur if:

• The ‘security considerations’ flag has been raised, in which case the proposal will be scrutinised according to the procedure described above,
