We don't really want to know your coming!
Fair do to jw eu are a nightmare,
It's just been so long now . A lot depends on the refund
Soz, missed a T.
PS. Not an A-Team reference. :)
Jesus at last we have clarity on the EU funds, or do we?
The company will receive an official reply shortly? when is that likely to be? February 2021?
I would think it should have stated the company will receive the funds shortly should it not? why would we be waiting a reply?
I cant see what the issue is personally, the funds are rightly ours, agreed by the EU when the grant application was submitted! EU up yours, get those funds into our bank account pronto and stop pi***** about for goodness sake.
Progress?
Mr T
We know what the eu are like , bet if it was a German or France company it would have been done and dusted by now
About as much use as the proverbial chocolate fire guard..but at least it shows that the BOD is mindful of our extreme frustrations on this debacle ..probably not entirely under their control as I know from meetings such as the AGM that they have spent considerable time and trouble chasing the funds.......as one senior politician remarked last autumn :
" we are best well out of the E.U. if only to rid ourselves of any liability for the rampant fraud on funds in E. Europe and Southern Italy which far exceeds the loss to the UK economy caused by the likes of Indian Call Centre fraudsters ".....actually quite relevant today due to the planned Panorama program though that has been shelved and replaced by an insight into our new enemy, Miss Coronavirus !!
A six month delay is down to more than EU bureaucracy.
No-one has yet been able to answer my question as to whether these funds remain payable to INFA should the IslandMagee project fall over. I suspect not, in which case I would do exactly as the EU are doing, were I in their shoes. Given the likely fatally parlous state of the company's finances (thanks, JW!), just sit tight and wait either for the gas storage project to collapse, due either to the lack of the necessary licence or simply through running out of cash, or for INFA simply to go bust in its entirety. Thanks again, JW.
After all, what is INFA going to do - sue the EU? Good luck funding that action...
whatamess,
You didn't answer my question...
Are you happy with the latest "news"?
Whatamess is correct ..my understanding is that the EU monies are contractually due whatever the scenario ..there is and was never any preconditions excepting that the FEED work be completed by a competent body ( our German friends and Costain) and in accord with specifications and time limits etc.Indeed it would be "nice" to learn exactly what is behind the delays rather than receiving persistent bureucratic gobbleygook and nebulous statements conveying no meaning or sense at all ..Most frustrating but the funds are due and WILL be paid without the need for Court or similar action ..so there !!
dawski37,
Thank you for finally giving a comprehensive answer to the question I first raised many weeks ago.
Blair the funds are due otherwise jw would not be wasting time chasing the eu.
Once they agreed them they should be paid for work agreed,
We need eu funds , ml and h&w progress by the end of march ,
If there is no positive news this will die quickly , one thing jw was good at was news , we want that in droves
