First annual Leafy Veg progress report n Tech. & Fin. report submitted by April 2 to EU l n Reviewing technical report l l l n May 8: few comments received from EU May 26: reply to EU June 2: accepted by EU Reviewing financial report l n technical reporting was relatively easy; financial reporting took considerable time from the partners’ administrations. June 8: a number of comments received from the EU Expected reimbursement: September Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands
First annual LV progress report conclusions n The technical reporting was OK: relatively easy l n reviewing process did not give much problems, in contrast to last year…. The financial reporting was for most (all) of us a time consuming business. I expected that ‘things’ would run more smoothly, given our first year exercise, but alas… (hopefully next year ‘things’ will be better). l reviewing in progress Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands
New LV contract needed - (already for a year) n Reasons: l l l NGB changed its juridical name into Nord. Gen USOFA (Mihaela Cerne) stopped and their work will be carried out by KIS (Vladimir Meglic), both organizations are established in Ljubjana (Slovenia). 10% budget ceiling is not met for ‘other costs’ item: 55% change, this is due to the fact that a lot of partners decreased this budget item and transferred the budget to personnel costs. Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands
Leafy Veg dissemination n We need to do something about this l Leafy Veg homepage ( summary of annual results + lisst of publications) l Writing papers, giving presentations, etc Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands
