Taking into account the principle of proportionality, the financial guarantees requested from the IS may be limited to the maximum amount of the Union contribution.
In accordance, the liability of each guarantor may be proportionate to the share of their contribution to PRIMA.
The guarantors may agree on the modalities in which they will cover this liability in their respective letters of declaration on liabilities.
