AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This Turkish regulation, published on 27 February 2026, significantly revises the 2013 Cooperative Project Support Regulation. It removes several support categories and narrows the scope of eligible expenditures by systematically eliminating references to 'services' (hizmet), limiting support primarily to goods and qualified personnel. The definition of qualified personnel is updated to require at least a bachelor's degree and specific conditions listed in the Guide. The number of evaluation committee members is reduced from five to four in multiple articles. Procurement rules are tightened so that goods purchases must be carried out through contracts with contractors.
