Rules for the EEA financial mechanisms have been adopted

The rules for these two financial mechanisms have now been adopted. The formal Rules and Procedures for the mechanisms are more or less identical, and the application form and guidelines are the same for both.

Before a country can submit its application to the Financial Mechanisms Office (FMO) in Brussels, it must conclude Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with the EEA EFTA countries and Norway. The relevant MoUs are expected to be concluded during autumn 2004. The FMO is in the process of establishing a website, which will be online by the end of the summer. The website will provide access to information, application forms, etc.
