Communication Channel regarding Section 12.6 "Notification of Changes to Submission" of the Call for Proposals (CfP):
In the context of CfP Section 12.6. "Notification of Changes to Submission", paragraph 138 envisages the EIB's data room as the communication channel for all changes towards the Bank. However, for reasons of practicality and confidential treatment of documentation as submitted by Member States under the NER 300 process by 9 May 2011, the Bank has instead decided to use a functional email account as the communication channel for changes. Therefore Project Sponsors are invited to contact the Bank via ner300@eib.org, in case a notification according to section 12.6. of the CfP should be made. Project Sponsors should submit such notification simultaneously to the Commission's functional email account CLIMA-NER 300@ec.europa.eu
