    The aid application must be accompanied by the following documentation included in the GUIDE:

    • Annex III (Medium and long-term viability plan of the company).
    • Annex IV (statement of compliance with certain eligibility conditions established to receive the grant).

    The application must clearly state the facts, reasons and requests that demonstrate that it is a reasonable and legitimate petition. The award of the public grant is subject to the fulfilment of certain general conditions and criteria listed in Sections 1 and 2 of Annex II of the Agreement of the Council of Ministers, dated 21 July 2020.

  3. Resolution:  It is the remit of the Management Council of the Support Fund. The authorisation of the Council of Ministers shall be required if the grant application is approved. Applications shall be processed within a maximum of six months from their presentation. The lack of communication after this period shall signify the rejection of the application. The resolutions of the Management Council conclude the administrative proceedings, against which a contentious-administrative appeal may be made (Article 2, Sections 6 and 7, of Royal Decree-Act 25/2020, of 3 July, on urgent measures to support the reactivation of the economy and employment)
