Heading
A-3029 of the general budget of the European Communities
provides support for international non-governmental youth
organisations operating in a European framework. Such
support was encouraged by the European Parliament in a
resolution passed on 14 June 1991. This call for proposals
relates to grants to be awarded for the year 2003 (1 January
to 31 December).
The main aim of these grants is to encourage the development
in Europe of international non-governmental youth organisations
and to promote activities of European interest involving
and/or targeting young people.
Grants are intended to cover part of the beneficiary organisation's
operating costs, so as to enable it to carry out youth
activities in a European context. |

Proposals
will be examined only from organisations which:
are international,
are non-governmental,
are non-profit-making,
are youth organisations, or have a broader scope but
include a section dedicated to youth,
have active member organisations in at least eight of
the following countries:
EU: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Portugal,
France, Italy, Sweden, United Kingdom, Ireland, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Finland, Greece,
EFTA countries in the EEA: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway,
Candidate countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary,

Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, including at least two EU
Member States.
Exception: it is sufficient for organisations which have
never received support under budget heading A-3029 to
have active member organisations in at least six of the
above countries, including two EU Member States.
receive co-financing amounting to at least 20 % of their
total annual budget from sources other than the European
Union budget,
have independent legal status at the time of application,
include, among their own staff, at least one full-time
employee.
In the event of parallel applicationsfrom a European organisation
and a more geographically extensive organisation with
the same members (or a majority thereof) in the countries
of the European Union and with similar aims, a single
grant will be awarded; in principle, priority will be
given to the European body. Where appropriate, the organisations
concerned are called upon to agree to submit a single
application. |
