Allegation(s)

The method used by the Commission's Directorate-General Education and Culture ('DG EAC) to calculate the maximum eligible daily rates for staff costs in Lifelong Learning Programme ('LLP') projects is inaccurate and unfair.

DG EAC should amend its method of calculating the maximum eligible daily rates for staff costs in LLP projects or use those rates as guidance only and accept duly justified staff costs that exceed those rates.
