The limit to what may be amended is established by the legal base of the Action, as stipulated in the Humanitarian Aid Regulation and described in the European Commission's financing Decision. An Agreement shall never be amended so as to change or go beyond the legal basis. No amendment may have as its purpose or effect to change any of the characteristics of the actions as defined in the financing Decision (notably as concerns types of beneficiaries, area of implementation), or to modify the original object of the Agreement (title and specific objective).
Such modifications would change the key elements used for the assessment of the Action, and it would fundamentally change the identification of the Action subject to the Agreement. In this context, it is important that the Partners and DG ECHO pay special attention when drafting the specific objective of the Action and the title of the Agreement.
Where it becomes impossible for the Partner to implement the Action without changing the elements mentioned above, the Agreement will have to be terminated.
Articles 1 (Purpose), and 8.3 (Clauses establishing the nature of the implementing modalities of the action) of the Agreement may never be modified.
Amendments shall not have the purpose or effect of making such changes to the Agreement as would call into question the award of the Agreement.
It is never possible to change:
