On the "ownership control declaration"

Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes Digital, Industry & Space

Working on a proposal with submission deadline of 18 September, for

  • HORIZON-CL4-2024-DIGITAL-EMERGING-02-01 ("for Competitiveness fit for the Green deal") or
  • HORIZON-CL4-2024-HUMAN-03-01 ("human-centred and ethical development")

Then please note that the mandatory annex "ownership control declaration" has been added to the Portal Submission System. It is now possible to submit the annex next to Part B application.

Essence

We interpret this form that if you are company from Belgium (that is: headquartered in an OECD country, or more specific: established in an eligible country and controlled by entities in an eligible country), you only need to complete part 1 of the form, and part 2 (the guarantee part) can be skipped. 

Problems with the form

Update: The upload of the Ownership Control Declaration template in the submission system apparently didn’t work as planned, so now the EC is allowing proposers to submit the declarations some time after the proposal submission deadline upon the express request of the EC. Or as they communicated:

The ownership control declaration (annex to be uploaded) was missing in the Portal Submission System. Exceptionally, the Commission will allow the submission of this annex at a later stage - as needed and upon requestThe ownership control declaration annex must be filled in by project participants as part of the application. All declarations must be assembled by the coordinator and uploaded in a single file in the Portal Submission System.

The EC also confirmed that the assessment of the ownership control declaration will not affect the outcome of the evaluation. The evaluation will focus on the Application form (Part A) and Technical description (Part B), which need to be completed and submitted in the Portal Submission System by the established deadline of 18/09/2024 17:00 Brussels time.

This article has been updated on 03.09 to add the info that the annex can also be submitted at a later stage. And appended on 17.09 with an interpretation on the form (essence paragraph)

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
