Country-specific information

Bodies responsible for Structural Funds programmes

You can find here the lists of the managing authorities and/or intermediate bodies of Investment for Growth and Jobs programmes and European Territorial Cooperation programmes. If policies under these programmes are addressed by a project, we would expect the relevant organisation to be partner. If they are not partners, the relevant organisation must sign the letter of support submitted with the project application.

For more information on the structural funds programmes in this country, please go to DG for Regional and Urban Policy website.

First level control information

This section provides information on the system set up for first level control in your country. Any costs associated with this control are indicated so they can be planned for in any project budget

The system

Spain has opted for a decentralised control system. Before the first expenditure can be reported, the project partners will have to propose an independent internal or external controller to the following body: 

Ministerio de Hacienda y Administraciones Públicas
Dirección Gral. De Fondos Comunitarios
Paseo de la Castellana, nº 162, 28071 Madrid, Spain

Contact person:

Ms. Mª Carmen Hernández Martín
Senior Adviser, General Directorate for European Funds
+34 91 915830068
MCHernandez@sepg.minhap.es

This body will authorise the controller proposed by the project partner after having checked that the controller is sufficiently independent from project activities and finances and qualified to carry out the control of an INTERREG Europe project.

Once the approved controller has checked and confirmed the reported expenditure, the first level control certificate has to be validated by the body mentioned above (Ministerio de Hacienda y Administraciones Públicas). Only first level control certificates validated by the Ministry by its signature and stamp can be accepted.

The costs

Only in case of an external controller, the costs resulting from the control can be reported as eligible costs (external expertise) in compliance with the relevant EU-regulations and programme rules. 

Internal controllers’ expenses (“Interventores”) are not eligible.

On-the-spot checks

The first level controllers will carry out on-the-spot-checks at least once during the project lifetime.
