Complaint mechanism

The EEA Grants have a no-tolerance policy on corruption and mismanagement. Complaints and alerts on suspected irregularities may be submitted directly to the National Focal Point.

The EEA Grants follow a policy of good governance, and their implementation are founded on the principles of openness, transparency and accountability.

Members of the public who suspect mismanagement or corruption under the EEA Grants are encouraged to share their concerns with any of the relevant entities responsible for the implementation of the EEA Grants, namely the Financial Mechanism Office (FMO) and the Spanish National Focal Point. Please provide as detailed information as possible about the facts you are aware of. Your report will be treated confidentially.

Details on the complaints procedure are available in the Good governance and anti-corruption policy and guide:
