Dear all, in the last days I was working in strict connection with the EC to prepare the amendment. Due to a problem in the portal, and since the EC offices are closed, they will analyze it only after the 8th of January. We have some time to double check the text. Please find attached the Part B i have prepared where, in particular, you can see the schema of secondments. you can also enter the portal and see what i have done here. Please check in particular the type of secondment (ESR and ER) if it fits your plan. Please notify me any change you want to apply to the plan. I wanted to share with you also the fact that, even if the PO was favourable, the head of the unit said that the further extension of 6 months is not automatic and can be rejected. I am strongly supporting our request hoping they will understand the criticalities, but we have to be ready to red light on this point. I take the opportunity also to send to you and your families our warmest wishes of a merry Christmas! Fulvio
