A beneficiary of EU rural development funding who has a website or social media channel must include a short description of the project. The description should include the project's objectives, results and mention of EU funding. The obligation applies to project support, business support and agricultural investment and start-up support.
The EU Commission has now clarified this obligation so that the description must include the EU logo on both the website and social media.
The EU emblem consists of the EU flag and the text "Co-financed by the EU".
The beneficiary's communication instructions and decision printouts have been updated to reflect the new requirements. The requirement will not be applied retroactively.
