STEP Guidance Note

This non-binding Guidance Note aims to provide practical support in implementing the STEP Regulation, making it easier to navigate its key provisions. While some legislation provisions were rephrased for clarity, the Note does not alter the rights and obligations outlined in the STEP Regulation. To determine if a project is eligible for a specific funding opportunity under the Regulation, project promoters shall refer to the rules of the relevant programme which continue to apply, since STEP is not a new funding instrument but works through existing programmes.
