Forms for EU contracts

The Financial Identification and Legal Entity forms necessary to launch the awarding procedures for a contract or subvention, and the general conditions for low-value procurement contracts.

Financial Identification and Legal Entity

The forms below are intended to help you in communicating to the Commission departments, who would request you to forward your legal or banking co-ordinates, so that those can be recorded in the "Legal Entity File (LEF)" and in the "Bank Account File (BAF)".

Under the terms of the regulatory provisions mentioned hereafter, the services with which you intend to sign a financing convention or a contract, and/or which will allocate funds to you, cannot launch awarding procedures for a contract or a subvention, nor can they proceed to the authorisation of payments in your favour, as long as your co-ordinates are not recorded and centrally validated.

Please read these important instructions before filling in the documents!
