1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THIS CALL 

The burden of breast cancer is worldwide and growing. In 2012, nearly 1.7 million new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed worldwide, accounting for 25% of all new cancer cases in women. The incidence of the disease has increased sharply in low- and middle-income countries, a trend expected to continue as economic development creates lifestyle factors that heighten breast cancer risk for women in those countries. Moreover, low- and middle-income nations cannot afford the costs of widespread technology-based medical care for their populations, whereas in wealthy nations, projected expenses for clinical treatment are soaring. 

Breast cancer is the most common form in women, accounting for 28% of the total in the WHO European Region. From 1950 to the late 1980s, breast-cancer mortality rose everywhere in Europe, except Norway and Sweden. Taking the Region as a whole, however, deaths from breast cancer peaked in the 1990s, at 14.74 deaths per 100 000 population in 1994, falling to 13.01 per 100 000 in 2009. 

A study led by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) showed disparities in trends in breast-cancer mortality across 30 European countries. From 1989 to 2006, mortality decreased by over 20% in 15 countries, but remained stable or even increased in central Europe. The figures range from a 45% reduction in Iceland to a 17% increase in Romania. After Iceland, the most important decreases were found in England and Wales (35%), Scotland (30%), Northern Ireland (29%), Sweden (16%), France (11%) and Finland (12%). In contrast, mortality continued to rise in Greece, Estonia and Latvia and no decrease was yet visible in Bulgaria or Lithuania. 

Breast cancer is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. Evidence from high-income countries indicates that screening with mammography will reduce mortality from breast cancer as long as the required capacity, funding and infrastructure for treatment exist before screening programmes start. A well-organized programme with good compliance leads to a reduction in breast cancer mortality of at least 20% in women aged over 50. Currently, most countries in the European Union run or are setting up population-based screening programmes for breast cancer based on mammography. 

In the 1990’s, rates of new cases of breast cancer were higher than expected in certain areas. So, these breast cancer clusters need to be reported and investigated in order to determine if some primary prevention initiatives could be adopted in order to prevent possible cases from the youngest populations. Many studies looked at known risk factors and possible environmental factors that might be related to the excess number of breast cancer cases in these areas. These factors included pesticides, industrial chemicals and electromagnetic fields (EMF). 

This action should put emphasis on breast cancer prevention in girls living in identified zones presenting supplementary risks or an excess of cases in the youngest cohorts of age. It should be analysed if lowering the risks could or not reduce the incidence of new cases. Evidence from a wide range of studies—randomized trials, epidemiological, animal—needs to be used in order to identify specific lifestyle and behavioural factors that could affect breast cancer risk. Researchers also now better understand that breast cancer risk develops early in life and accumulates across a woman’s entire lifespan. 

This action should identify specific actions that women and their physicians can take to reduce breast cancer risk in young populations, and show that, depending on when in her lifespan a woman integrates risk-reduction behaviours, as much as 50–70% of breast cancer can be prevented through early primary prevention. 

What is heightening the risk of breast cancer? It is the interplay of (1) increases in hormonal drivers, (2) the changes in women’s height growth rate and reproductive patterns, and (3) lifestyle changes arising from economic development. These are not the only modifiable factors that affect breast cancer risk (exposure to ionizing radiation, for example, also increases risk), but they are among the most common. 

The primary prevention and early detection actions to be proposed should be fully compatible with the European Union approach in the field of cancer prevention as expressed in the 4th version of the European Code Against Cancer adopted by the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) and the European Commission in October 2014. If proposals affecting screening are formulated they should be fully compatible with the European standards defined in the 4th edition of the European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis1 as well as with the ongoing actions on revision of such guidelines and adoption of a voluntary mechanism of accreditation of breast cancer services as defined in the EIBC (European Initiative on Breast Cancer).

2. OBJECTIVES 

 

The Financing Decision2 for the pilot project “Primary prevention courses for girls living in areas with a higher risk of breast cancer” was adopted on 26 August 2016. Its Annex3 sets out main priority areas for this pilot project through the present call: 

 The project should identify a certain number of geographical regions in the European Union presenting higher breast cancer rates due to identifiable environmental factors. The selection of the pilot areas to implement the project should keep a geographical diversity and include several Member States; 

 

 The key objective of this pilot project is to establish the scientific evidence for environmental problems in relation to areas with higher breast cancer rates, with the aim to improve the situation for the citizens living in this area in a cross-sectorial manner. 

 

 Priority in the analysis and on the actions to be proposed should be given to youngest cohorts of age in full compatibility and complementary with the European Union breast cancer policy on prevention and early detection of breast cancer. 

 

 The project will focus on soil and water contamination by polluting agents and include specifically illegal disposal of toxic waste as well as on industrial areas. The pilot project is targeted at areas, as described above, where breast cancer incidence rates are statistically much higher than average. 

 

 The project will be carried out in form of a study in order to review the evidence of polluting agents and their impact on health, specifically breast cancer with full scientific justification of any action proposed. 

 

One call will be organized and the proposal selected shall cover the main priority areas.

11. FINANCIAL PROVISIONS 

 

The Financial Regulation and the Rules of Application7 are the reference documents for the implementation of this pilot project. 

7 Please refer to footnotes 27 and 28 above 

11.1. General Principles 

Grants must comply with the following principles: 

a) Non-cumulative award 

 

An action may only receive one grant from the EU budget. 

In no circumstances shall the same costs be financed twice by the Union budget. To ensure this, applicants shall indicate the sources and amounts of Union funding received or applied for the same action or part of the action or for its functioning during the same financial year as well as any other funding received or applied for the same action. 

b) Non-retroactivity 

 

No grant may be awarded retrospectively for actions already completed. 

A grant may be awarded for an action, which has already begun only where the applicant can demonstrate the need to start the action before the grant agreement is signed. 

In such cases, costs eligible for financing may not have been incurred prior to the date of submission of the grant application. 

c) Co-financing 

 

Co-financing means that the resources, which are necessary to carry out the action, may not be entirely provided by the EU grant. 

Co-financing of the action may take the form of: 

- the beneficiary's own resources, 

- income generated by the action, 

- financial contributions from third parties. 

d) Balanced budget 

 

The estimated budget of the action is to be attached to the application form. It must have revenue and expenditure in balance. 

The budget must be drawn up in euros. 

e) Implementation contracts/subcontracting 

 

Where the implementation of the action requires the award of procurement contracts (implementation contracts), the beneficiary must award the contract to the bid offering best value for money or the lowest price (as appropriate), avoiding conflicts of interests and retain the documentation for the event of an audit. 

For public bodies: entities acting in their capacity of contracting authorities in the meaning of Directive 2004/18/EC or contracting entities in the meaning of Directive 2004/17/EC shall abide by the applicable national public procurement rules. 

Sub-contracting, i.e. the externalisation of specific tasks or activities which form part of the action as described in the proposal must satisfy the conditions applicable to any implementation contract (as specified above) and in addition to them the following conditions: 

- it may only cover the implementation of a limited part of the action; 

- it must be justified having regard to the nature of the action and what is necessary for its implementation; 

- it must be clearly stated in the proposal. 

 

11.2. Funding form: mixed financing 

Mixed financing grants are calculated on the basis of a detailed estimated budget indicating clearly the costs that are eligible for EU funding. The grant amount may neither exceed the eligible costs nor the amount requested. Amounts are indicated in euros. 

Maximum amount requested 

The EU grant is limited to a maximum co-funding rate of 60% of eligible costs. 

Consequently, part of the total eligible expenses entered in the estimative budget must be financed from sources other than the EU grant. 

- Eligible costs are actually incurred by the beneficiary of a grant and meet all the criteria indicated in Article 6 of the model grant agreement. Eligible (direct and indirect) costs are indicated in the grant agreement (see Articles 6.1., 6.2. and 6.3.); 

- Ineligible costs are indicated in the grant agreement (see Article 6.4.). Please note that contributions in kind are not considered eligible cost. 

Calculation of the final grant amount 

The Commission establishes the final amount of the grant to the coordinator and the other beneficiaries after completion of the action, upon approval of the request for payment containing the documents indicated in the grant agreement. 

The final grant amount is calculated as indicated in the grant agreement (see Article 5). 

EU grants may not have the purpose or effect of producing a profit within the framework of the action of the beneficiary. Profit shall be defined as a surplus of the receipts over the eligible costs incurred by the beneficiary, when the request is made for payment of the balance. In this respect, where a profit is made, the Commission shall be entitled to recover the percentage of the profit corresponding to the Union contribution. A partner (coordinator or other beneficiary) requesting an EU-contribution of EUR < 60 000, is exempted from this provision. 

11.3. Payment arrangements 

The payments generally consist of the following: 

The Commission will execute a pre-financing payment of 50 % (see Article 16.2 of the model grant agreement) to the coordinator within 30 days of the date when the last of the two parties signs the agreement, provided all requested guarantees have been received. All other beneficiaries have to accede to the grant agreement before the coordinator can transfer to them their share of the pre-financing. 

The Commission will establish the amount of the final payment to be made to the coordinator on the basis of the calculation of the final grant amount (see section 11.2 above). If the total of earlier payments is higher than the final grant amount, the coordinator will be required to reimburse the amount paid in excess by the Commission through a recovery order (see Article 28 of the grant agreement). 

For more details, please see Article 16 of the grant agreement. 

11.4. Pre-financing guarantee 

In the event that the applicant's financial capacity is not satisfactory, measures may be taken in order to limit the financial risks linked to the pre-financing payment. These may include a financial guarantee for an amount up that of the pre-financing payment or the inclusion of several reporting periods, leading to interim payments, subject to the approval of the periodic report. 

If requested, the financial guarantee, in euro, shall be provided by an approved bank or financial institution established in one of the Member State of the European Union. When the beneficiary is established in a third country, the authorising officer responsible may agree that a bank or financial institution established in that third country may provide the guarantee if he considers that the bank or financial institution offers equivalent security and characteristics as those offered by a bank or financial institution established in a Member State. Amounts blocked in bank accounts shall not be accepted as financial guarantees. 

The guarantee may be replaced by a joint and several guarantee by a third party or by a joint guarantee of the beneficiaries of an action who are parties to the same grant agreement. 

The guarantee shall be released as the pre-financing is gradually cleared against interim payments or payments of the balance to the beneficiary, in accordance with the conditions laid down in the grant agreement. 

No financial guarantee will be requested for a beneficiary receiving an EU contribution of EUR <60. 000 (low value grants). 

12. PUBLICITY 

 

12.1. By the beneficiaries 

Beneficiaries must clearly acknowledge the European Union's contribution in all publications or in conjunction with activities for which the grant is used in line with Article 38 of the grant agreement. 

In this respect, beneficiaries are required to give prominence to the name and emblem of the European Union on all their publications, posters, programmes and other products realised under the co-financed project. 

If this requirement is not fully complied with, the beneficiary's grant may be reduced in accordance with the provisions of the grant agreement. 

 

12.2. By the Commission 

With the exception of scholarships paid to natural persons and other direct support paid to natural persons in most need, all information relating to grants awarded in the course of a financial year shall be published on an internet site of the European Union institutions no later than the 30 June of the year following the financial year in which the grants were awarded. 

The following information will be published: 

- name of the beneficiary, 

- address of the beneficiary when the latter is a legal person, region when the beneficiary is a natural person, as defined on NUTS 2 level8 if he/she is domiciled within EU or equivalent if domiciled outside EU, 

- subject of the grant, 

- amount awarded. 

 

Upon a reasoned and duly substantiated request by the beneficiary, the publication shall be waived if such disclosure risks threatening the rights and freedoms of individuals concerned as protected by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union or harm the commercial interests of the beneficiaries.
