## b) Financial proposal 

 All tenders must contain a financial proposal, to be submitted using the form attached as Annex III. 

The tenderer's attention is drawn to the following points: 

- Prices must be quoted in euro , including the countries that are not in the euro-zone.

The tenderers choose the exchange rate and assume all risks or opportunities relating to the rate fluctuation. 

- Prices must be fixed amounts . 

- Estimated travel and daily subsistence allowance expenses must be indicated separately . (only if applicable to this procedure) 

This estimate should be based on Articles I.5 and II.22 of the draft framework contract (Annex IV). This estimate will comprise all foreseen travel and will constitute the maximum amount of travel and daily subsistence allowance expenses to be paid for all tasks. 

- Prices must be quoted free of all duties , taxes and other charges, including VAT, as the European Union is exempt from such charges under Articles 3 and 4 of the Protocol on the privileges and immunities of the European Union. The amount of VAT may be shown separately. 

- Prices shall be fixed and not subject to revision during the performance of the contract.
