In the evening of  July 12th 2006, we received a fax from Brussels with the following content:
“The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency has concluded the examination of proposals submitted under the above Call for Proposals. On the basis of recommendations of independent experts from countries participating in the Culture 2000 programme, in agreement with the management Board of the programme and following the exercise of the right of scrutiny by the European Parliament, a list of projects, which have been proposed to receive an EU grant, has been established.
We have the pleasure to inform you that your project is amongst those proposed to receive EU financial support. The precise amount of the grant will be communicated to you in due course, when the financial and administrative procedures are successfully completed. It must be understood that there is not, at this stage, any legal commitment on the part of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency. (...)”

That is the good news we have been waiting for since October 2005.
