Affiliated Entities. Affiliated entities (former ‘linked third parties’; new for 2021-2027) are entities with a legal link to the beneficiaries which implement parts of the action and are allowed to charge costs directly to the grant. They do not become party to the Grant Agreement (do not sign the GA) but they are part of the consortium and often play an important role. They are therefore de facto treated like beneficiaries (have their own financial statement, must provide their own CFS, must contribute to the technical report, must submit deliverables, etc). Annotations in this AGA which refer to beneficiaries usually also apply to affiliated entities (just like the provisions of the MGA themselves; see also MGA Preamble).
