Complementary Information: The source of EU funding for 2022 (as well as for the current 2023) is from two H2020 projects - CO-FRESH and FOODSAFETY4EU. The amounts are the relative share for the respective accounting years, and not the absolute amount transferred. This is because, as known, there are only 2 or 3 transfers for the duration of the whole project, which covers 3 or 3.5 years. Hence, the amounts have to be distributed among accounting years.
