LIFE13 ENV/IT/000470 ECODEFATTING

The ECODEFATTING project aims to reduce the environmental impact of the degreasing phase in the tanning cycle by using environmentally friendly natural products instead of chemicals. Partners have carried out various technical activities and dissemination actions, including website creation, diffusion materials preparation, and training courses for tanneries. Visit the project website at www.life-ecodefatting.com for more information.

  31. LIFE13 ENV/IT/470 ECODEFATTING Evaluation of Inception Report VERY POSITIVE EVALUATION!!!! Two small comments: 1. Please note that the duration set for your Partnership Agreement is not compliant with the LIFE template (Rev.2014). The beneficiaries' commitment to the project is in effect foreseen to end once they receive the payment of the final balance, while it should end five years after the project end date. Please provide with your Progress Report an Addendum to your Agreement, duly dated and signed, that extends its duration accordingly. 2. Please also be advised that, according to Article 12.1 of the Common Provisions, the due date of your Final Report should be set three months after the project end date. It is therefore postponed to 31 December 2016 instead of 30 September 2016, as foreseen in your Grant Agreement.
