Conditions29

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
Maritime port managers in the exact noncompetitive procedure.
Application restriction
WOD2021 only, Polish/qualified signature and authority evidence;20January2026–31December2026 23:59. Required environmental decisions covering full scope must exist by APPLICATION; other administrative documents by INTAKE END subject to specified exceptions. These earlier timing requirements differ from no-aid roads/SAR assessment-end rules.
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
The current information workbook requires applicant/partner identity, size, ownership/control links (including indirect and common-person links), economic/distress and recovery-order declarations, project cost/location/date information and previous aid for the same undertaking/costs. Financial statements accompany it as required. Generic rows for agriculture, wage subsidies, training, regional aid and legacy aid codes are conditional form context; they do not make those activities eligible under this maritime-port call. Actual eligibility and aid headroom remain declaration-dependent.
Application restriction
Project-specific environmental assessment/Natura/water evidence, infrastructure>=5-year climate-proofing trigger, whole-scope lifecycle DNSH evidence and climate risk/adaptation analysis apply. Specific forms can be inapplicable with justification for nonphysical scope; generic form derogation questions do not override programme exclusions. DNSH monitor designation is suggested, not mandatory new hiring.
Application restriction
Exact FENX.05.02-IP.02-001/25 regulation was published20January2026. Prior IZ identification is required for this noncompetitive route.
Application restriction
GBER4(1)(ee) exemption threshold concerns eligible project COST: EUR143m or EUR165m for a maritime-port project in the specified core-corridor work plan. Dredging project aggregates all works in one calendar year. These are notification/exemption boundaries, not advertised grant amounts;56b(5) category limits refer back to them.
Application restriction
Aid application must precede start of works/activities under GBER6. The exact call starts eligible expenditure the day AFTER aid application and ends31December2029; do not apply generic1January2021 retroactive eligibility from no-aid rounds. Aid/evidence/cumulation tests are project-specific.
Application restriction
Immediate functionality, positive ENPV, no directly commercial superstructure (warehouses/handling equipment), environmental/zero-emission/decarbonisation solutions unless justified technical impossibility, EU Sustainable Blue Economy alignment, coordinated common port investment strategy and Polish ports2030 programme identification; required environmental decisions as applicable.
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 geography
Less-developed regional category, maritime port in coreTEN-T under the adopted criteria; their comprehensive-network exception is for sea-access projects and does not automatically expand this round scope.
Eligible project scope
Port quays/piers, maritime terminals excluding intermodal terminals, port basins/fairways/turning basins, internal road/rail networks, ship waste/sewage reception and environmental/zero-emission/decarbonisation measures; land-side road/rail access improvements. The generic criteria also discuss sea-side access, but the exact regulation lists port infrastructure and land access, not every generic5.2 type.
Other condition
Unlike no-aid roads/SAR rounds, port support is state aid under GBER56b. Aid cannot exceed eligible investment/dredging costs minus operating profit, using reasonable ex-ante projections or clawback. Category/tier ceilings and permitted regional uplift also apply; final award may be lower. Template100% payment-source split is not100% aid intensity.
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
Official linked optional withdrawal template names FENX.04.01 core TEN-T roads, while this call is FENX.05.02 ports. Retain the actual source/URL; this is a template/action conflict, not evidence of corrupted capture. No initial-application eligibility or correct action adoption inferred; obtain the proper template if withdrawal is needed.
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
Aid-financed port infrastructure must be offered to users on equal/nondiscriminatory market terms; concessions or third-party construction/operation/rental awards follow competitive transparent unconditional nondiscriminatory procedures. Hydrogen/ammonia/methanol infrastructure has2035 renewable-fuel commitments and connected onsite renewable capacity is limited to linked charging/refuelling capacity.
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
Exact NPJB state-aid agreement supports advances/reimbursement; subsequent advances require settling70% of all earlier tranches including returned unused funds. Payment depends on funds and performance security. Individual grant amount, disbursement limit, settlement period and aid intensity are blanks.100%payment/0%national-dotacja entries identify source composition within approved support, not100%project funding.
Other condition
GBER56b(6) allows the80%/60% base ceilings to rise10 percentagepoints in Article107(3)(a) assisted areas or5points in107(3)(c) areas. This is conditional on the applicable aid-area qualification, not a blanket uplift from a broad programme regional label.
Other condition
Minimum30% combined horizontal/specific maximum points plus all applicable obligatory criteria/allocation. Specific grid total17: support goals up to8 (4environmental,4seaaccess,3landaccess,3infrastructure, capped8); readiness up to5 with5/4/3/2/1 mutually exclusive tiers; complementarity up to4 across four1-point branches.50%/100%land-rights readiness tiers are preferences, not universal eligibility.
Staff monthly hours, maximumOnly eligible actual-cost personnel; aggregate professional engagement across all EU projects/other sources/employers
276 hours_per_month

Necessary direct investment/planning cost eligibility must first be established; not blanket staffing entitlement. Simplified-method chapter3.8(17) exception respected; this exact call excludes indirect costs.

Staff restriction
The call expressly excludes indirect expenditure, so administrative/project-management salary categories in the generic indirect-cost catalogue do not become fundable here. Any claimed direct personnel must be necessary within the actual GBER-eligible investment/planning cost scope and applicable cost-guide requirements, not a vacancy or guaranteed salary. The agreement requires SL2021 personnel engagement records.
Amounts and costs12

70 %

Gate before a subsequent advance, not a guaranteed advance amount or loan-principal repayment rate. Only the NPJB agreement route; no import to PJB state-budget-unit settlement.

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
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. Engaging an existing employee by a civil-law contract other than specific-work contract is excluded except statutory employment restrictions or R&D; operational-phase staff costs require the explicit approved-project exception.
Selection ranking threshold, minimumCombined applicable horizontal and specific maximum ranking score

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
