Objectives
This Call for Proposals aims at concluding a Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) with a European Organisation representing SME interests in European standardisation activities
The Framework Partnership Agreement formalises the partnership between the European Commission and the selected partner (the Partner) by specifying the common objectives agreed, the type of action envisaged, the procedure for awarding specific grants and the general rights and obligations of each party under the specific agreement.

The maximum duration of the FPA is three years with the possibility of one extension of one year.
