Communication Rules
Communication related to European policies is a challenge that involves all stakeholders.
As such, the disclosure and dissemination of aid granted by EU Funds is incumbent upon the beneficiary organisations and managing bodies, as enshrined in Portuguese and Community legislation.
- Regulation (EU) No. 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 17 December
- Commission Implementation Regulation (EU) No. 821/2014, of 28 July
- Excerpts from Legislation on Information and Communication Rules for Beneficiaries
- Portugal 2020 – Shared Communication Strategy
The purpose of such a requirement is to make target audiences aware of the intervention and to inform public opinion, in general, of the role the EU and the Portuguese Government play in projects and co-financing transactions, within the scope of Portugal 2020, and their respective impact and outcomes.
An appreciation of all Communication Rules that need to be followed is important so that you can give your EU co-financed project visibility.
To this end, we have provided basic documents and information on rules, procedures and dissemination, as well as several logos, co-financing banners and templates for you to read and use.
