OP EIC barriers to disbursement Funding for aid programmes with high absorption capacity clashes with the provisions of the Cohesion Policy 2014+ and PA approval as regards meeting material milestones and monitored indicators 20% limit on allocations to large enterprises discussions with the EC Lower absorption capacity for PA 3 (Efficient energy management, development of energy infrastructure and renewable energy sources, support for the introduction of new technologies in the management of energy and secondary raw materials) Applicants with a Decision delay the submission of Payment Request (PR) the volume of PR not submitted after the deadline is approximately CZK 4.5 billion Art. 61 (Reg. 1303/2013 of the EP) - deduction of net income for large enterprises Revenue-generating projects must be applied according to a financial analysis in accordance with a valid methodology Originally conceived for infrastructure projects, OP EIC is focused on business projects, loss- making projects are not recommended for financing. At the same time, there is a limitation of support for projects in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 of the GBER - inappropriate application of Art. 61 may lead to the inability of certain projects to be funded. MIT tries to ensure that Art. 61 will not be applied NADPIS PREZENTACE (upravit v p edloze) INFRASTRUKTURA Autor prezentace (upravit v p edloze) funkce autora (upravit v p edloze) ministr pr myslu a obchodu ZP T NA VRCHOL INSTITUCE, INOVACE A Ing.
