Conditions23

Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant type: Generalny Dyrektor Dróg Krajowych i Autostrad only.
Application restriction: WOD2021 only, Polish documentation and qualified signatures/authority declarations on each version. Window8April2024–31December2026 23:59; required decisions by assessment end subject to suspension/supplement exceptions. Live system acceptance and balance unverified.
Application restriction: Applicable declarations prohibit double funding, including the stated seven-year used-asset and ten-year property checks and total public coverage above 100% of the same eligible costs. They require five-year post-final-payment durability and, for non-SMEs, the stated ten-year/no-production-relocation-outside-EU obligation or applicable aid period. These are conditional asset/durability obligations, not project implementation duration or proof any applicant satisfies them.
Application restriction: The applicant must provide the applicable declarations and evidence securing its own share (including a financing gap) and all ineligible costs, accept responsibility for authorised entities’ expenses, keep separate accounts/codes, verify procurement and expenditure, permit audits and obtain the applicable authorisation before works. Infrastructure/production operation and maintenance financing must remain sustainable for the required durability period where that clause applies. Blank amounts are applicant-specific evidence, not advertised limits.
Application restriction: Submit the original applicant declaration signed with a qualified electronic signature confirming the WOD application. Attach authority-to-represent documents as original or qualified-signature-certified copy; the declaration exempts KRS and municipal election/oath authority evidence from copy certification. Blank signatures and names do not establish an applicant’s compliance.
Application restriction: Core TEN-T location and EU infrastructure standards; government national-road or100-bypass programme identification; environmental decisions; immediate functionality; charging/refuelling location plan; positive ENPV; statutory stage-appropriate BRD audit. Linear core-network projects except city bypasses need correct baseline/traffic-forecast assumptions. Rainwater retention/cleaning uses green/nature solutions, with technical-impossibility non-applicability exception.
Application restriction: Exact adopted environmental annex requires project-specific climate proofing for infrastructure with expected life>=5years and applicable EIA/Natura/water evidence; justified nonphysical scope can make particular forms inapplicable. The express programme footnote excludes new river hydrotechnical infrastructure and WFD4(7) derogation investments. Lifecycle DNSH evidence is required; the example catalogue expressly is not a mandatory checklist of every listed example.
Application restriction: Exact FENX.04.01-IP.02-001/24 noncompetitive core TEN-T roads. Prior IZ identification is required; other roads rounds are separate.
Application restriction: A physically completed construction project or fully implemented supply/service project before application cannot receive support, regardless of whether all payments were made.
Eligible project scope: GDDKiA construction/reconstruction to expressway/motorway standards and city bypasses, including expressways, in core TEN-T; intervention087. Core-network scope differs from comprehensive-network and outside-TEN-T rounds.
Other condition: The latest rule prints PLN 786,229,564 in digits but spells the former PLN 795,989,898 in words in the same sentence. The numeric observation is typed with this conflict; a uniquely authoritative reconciled allocation and current balance remain unresolved. Earlier February/June rules are historical.
Other condition: The adopted manual requires fixed templates, subordinate additional logos, no contractor marks in the main logo line, visible durable boards, and at least two boards for linear projects. A project begun before award must place its board within two months of agreement/decision; posters within one month of award. Create a social profile if absent and publish the required project/financing information. Maintain ordinary web/social information through implementation and a project-funded website through durability; apply the public-safety exception for poster location.
Other condition: CUPT appoints the assessment commission and may seek external expert opinions; assessment corrections, impartiality/confidentiality, consensus and institution approvals follow the adopted KOP rules. Commission/expert positions belong to the assessment process, not funded beneficiary jobs. Any expert compensation is governed by CUPT’s individual contract; no public pay amount or applicant headcount is inferred.
Other condition: The assessment checklist distinguishes obligatory pass/fail criteria from point-ranked rows; a zero in a ranking row alone does not exclude the project, while the applicable combined minimum still governs. Blank committee names/roles are institutional sign-off fields, not beneficiary staff numbers or salaries.
Other condition: Where VAT is claimed eligible, declarations require legal non-recoverability and return of reimbursed VAT if recovery later becomes possible, including affected authorised entities. The form’s legacy two-year retention wording is retained as a source inconsistency, not a universal controlling retention rule; current applicable regulation, adopted agreement, aid/VAT and longer audit requirements must govern. Read conditional strike-out instructions and source hierarchy.
Other condition: Mark public communications, participant materials and project equipment/products with the adopted FE, Polish-colour (where applicable) and EU marks; publish project information and document activities. Total project cost above EUR 500,000 triggers a durable board; other projects need at least one A3 poster/equivalent display. Strategic projects or total cost above EUR 10 million require an event and invitations to EC/MA at least four weeks ahead. These are communication duties, not grant ceilings or fundable beneficiary headcounts.
Other condition: The adopted communications reduction table caps cumulative reductions at 3% of the grant: website 0.5%, social-media 0.5%, absent required markings 0.25%; missing board/poster 0.5%, wrong design 0.25%, poor visibility 0.25%; missing required event/invitations 0.5%. Apply the actual underlying duty and contractual correction procedure; these are potential grant reductions, not eligible cost rates or automatically imposed penalties.
Other condition: The agreement adopts ministerial guidelines applicable when the action/expense/procurement occurs, with the express more-favourable-edition exception and institution decision for reassessment. The retained19May2026 edition is not applied retroactively to every historic expense.
Other condition: The exact round regulation states that no state aid occurs.
Other condition: Current adopted PJB agreement provides100% eligible-expenditure settlement, with individual amount/split blanks and institution-approved SL2021 expense statements. Project schedule updates at31March/30September are due within7days; personnel engagement is registered in SL2021, not advertised as vacancies. NPJB advance rules do not govern this PJB route.
Other condition: All applicable obligatory criteria and minimum30% combined horizontal/specific maximum ranking score are required, subject to allocation. Specific grid maximum9: continuity4/3 alternative tiers, readiness4/3/2/1 alternative tiers with design-build/build evidence, and1 point for multimodal network-model traffic forecasting on applicable linear projects excluding city bypasses. Individual zero ranking rows do not themselves disqualify.
Staff monthly hours, maximumActual-cost personnel: aggregate professional engagement across all EU projects and other sources/employers: 276 hours_per_month
Aggregate276-hour test counts annual leave and sickness, excludes other absences as specified. Chapter3.8(17) excludes personnel under simplified methods from this chapter except integrity rule13, so this ceiling is NOT asserted for staff settled in the applicable simplified indirect simplified indirect-cost pool.
Technical requirement, minimumRequired load-bearing road standard: 115 kN_per_axle
The project must provide115kN/axle load-bearing standard; physical infrastructure condition, not ranking score or funding limit.

Ineligible cost: Unrelated representation costs are ineligible. Promotional gadgets are permitted only as supporting elements of another activity. Indicative promotion budgets, timing and communication-output targets in the form serve monitoring; they are not actual awards or project result targets. Material changes need the institution’s consent and cannot substantially impair communication.
Ineligible cost: Indirect costs charged again as direct costs are ineligible; classify the administrative/personnel/service items under the adopted catalogue, not as a separate actual-cost payroll entitlement.
Ineligible cost: Under the applicable actual-cost guidance: jubilee awards, employee severance, PFRON payments and employee ZFŚS benefits are excluded; nonmandatory employee contributions/fees require the stated6-month preapplication, equal-coverage remuneration-rule exception.

Selection ranking threshold, minimumCombined applicable horizontal and specific maximum ranking score: 30 %
Minimum combined ranking threshold; not percentage of one criterion, not funding intensity, and not a physical requirement. All applicable obligatory criteria must separately pass.
VAT regime threshold on total project costTotal project cost including eligible/ineligible costs andVAT: €5,000,000
At/above threshold triggers legal-recoverability test/declarations under relevant edition; authority may excludeVAT. Not grant/project-cost ceiling or actual programme total value. Apply state-aid and final agreement restrictions where relevant.
