• For a transfer agreement, the main “constraint” is to anticipate, because the amount has to be taken into account in the Commission financing decision (and in the relevant Action fiche)

• For a delegation agreement, there are also several prerequisites (in addition to being mentioned in the relevant Action fiche)
