FINEXPO EVALUATION
The promotion of the programme, the information about the
programme and the support to the elaboration of proposals (the
elaboration can be subject to subsidy as well) is done by
AgentschapNL. This public agency submits the proposals to a
permanent consultant 95 or consortium of consultant for the preappraisal
on the criteria mentioned above. After every ‘round’
the consultant submits the score-lists to AgentschapNL.
AgentschapNL judges whether the proposals with the highest
scores matches all the policies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Economic Affairs and Finance and may adjust the ranking
accordingly. The final ranking will be submitted to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs for their consideration for funding.
Table 21.7: Requirements for approval of applications
France: RPE
Special requirements for approval
The loans of the RPE are aimed at financing French goods and
services. The French share of the loan must exceed 70% of
the amount of the loan.
The financing conditions of the loan are negotiated on a case-bycase
basis between the DGTPE and the Ministry for Finance of the
beneficiary country. For example, in 2009 when commercial
interest rates were low, a possible loan could have the following
features: 20 years of maturity, 5 years of grace during which
only the interests are payable, and 1.9% annual interest.

credit
programme
All loan agreements must adhere to the Helsinki principles and
subsequent OECD Arrangements on Officially Supported Export
Credits. These arrangements also establish the minimum levels of
concessionnality.
Special requirements are in force concerning the various risk
coverage for exports to foreign countries, finance insurance and
others. These should be covered by KfW IPEX-Bank and Euler
Hermes (insurance) and may count with Federal Government
backing in the case of transactions of long duration (over 4
years).
KfW Entwicklungsbank assumes the country risk and is in turn
protected by Hermes coverage or foreign insurer.
The requirements for approval of the Mixed Credit Programme
are that projects should be in Danida Programme Countries and
other relatively creditworthy countries with a GNI per capita of
less than USD 2,964 (2008/09). For both the tied and the untied
mixed credit facility, the administrative focus will be on those
countries where an extensive co-operation already exists
or is anticipated. In general, priority is therefore given to
projects in Danida’s Programme Countries. In these
countries the instrument is actively promoted. In Danida’s
Programme Countries emphasis will be put on relating mixed
credits to Danish-supported sector programmes and development
