H. FINANCING PLAN
The decision amount and other financial information in this section must be coherent with the basis (total or public cost) for the co-financing rate of the priority axis. Where private expenditure is not eligible for financing under the priority axis it shall be excluded from the eligible costs; where private expenditure is eligible it may be included.
(13) This application does not replace notification to the Commission under Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty. A positive decision by the Commission on the major project under Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 does not constitute state aid approval.

NB: The starting date for eligibility of expenditure is the date of receipt of the draft operational programme by the Commission or 1 January 2007, whichever is the earlier.
(2) Contingencies should not exceed 10 % of total investment cost net of contingencies. These contingencies may be included in the total eligible costs used to calculate the planned contribution of the funds – Section H2.
(3) A price adjustment may be included, where relevant, to cover expected inflation where the eligible cost values are in constant prices.
(4) Where VAT is considered as eligible, give reasons.
(5) Total cost must include all costs incurred for the project, from planning to supervision and must include VAT even if VAT is considered non eligible.
H.2. Total planned resources and planned contribution from the Funds
The funding gap rate was already presented under Section E.1.2. This should be applied to the eligible cost to calculate the ‘amount to which the co-financing rate for the priority axis applies’ (Article 41(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006). This is then multiplied by the co-financing rate of the priority axis to determine the Community contribution.
