WORKING WITH DG ECHO AS AN NGO PARTNER | FPA 2014 - 2020

TRANSFER OF REMAINING SUPPLIES

FAQ 44 - What happens if the equipment still has an economic value after several transfers but there is no eligible recipient for donation, nor any action to which to transfer it again?

REMAINING SUPPLIES | END OF ACTION

The obligation to transfer or donate remains valid until the equipment has been fully depreciated. Therefore, if at the end of the Action to which the transfer was made the equipment is not fully depreciated and donation or transfer are not possible, DG ECHO could either recover the remaining value according to the applicable depreciation rules, or, if justified, grant the Partner a derogation to keep the equipment. 

FAQ 46 - Can remaining supplies be transferred to a DG ECHO-funded Action managed by another FPA Partner, by a UN Agency or by an International Organisation?

REMAINING SUPPLIES | END OF ACTION

Transfer to another DG ECHO-funded Action is only possible if the Action is implemented by the Partner that intends to transfer the remaining supplies. This rule allows DG ECHO to have a direct control over the end use of the equipment and safeguards sound financial management of humanitarian aid funds.

Transfer to a DG ECHO-funded action implemented by another Partner is not possible, but in such cases a donation could be envisaged.

FAQ 47 - How many times can a Partner transfer remaining goods?

REMAINING SUPPLIES | END OF ACTION

Goods may be transferred only once. This means that goods must be either used up by the end of the Action to which they were transferred or otherwise they must be donated. If donation is not feasible, the full purchase price will be recovered by DG ECHO. 
In any case, DG ECHO expects that these remaining goods represent a minimal quantity and that the fact that they were left over did not affect the results of your Action, as otherwise they would be considered as ineligible costs.
 

FAQ 105 - How ECHO calculates the 5% as marginal quantity of remaining goods in similar type? Is the calculation done on the price of the goods or on their quantity?

END OF ACTION

The calculation is done on the quantity of the goods.
