Editorial correction No.1 

On June 29, 2021, the European Commission registered the State Aid Scheme for supporting business development and innovation as amended by Addendum No. 1 and registers it under the number SA.63743. Based on the regulation of the Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic, it is necessary to use the registration number assigned by the Commission. Given that the notification of the Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic was announced after the publication of the Call BIN 01, the Program Operator proceeds to the editorial correction No. 1 of this technical error of the Call BIN 01 and all its annexes and related documents, where the original texts State Aid Scheme SA.61867 changes to State Aid Scheme as amended by Addendum No. 1 SA.63743 and State Aid Scheme for supporting business development and innovation, as amended by Addendum No. 1 SA.61867 changes to State Aid Scheme for supporting business development and innovation as amended by Addendum No. 1 SA.63743.

Osobná pôsobnosť zákona sa vzťahuje aj na zahraničné právnické osoby pokiaľ spĺňajú definičné kritériá partnera 10 verejného sektora a prijímajú plnenia od štátu nad zákonom určený limit. Ak ide o právnickú osobu, ktorá na území Slovenskej republiky podniká prostredníctvom organizačnej zložky, do registra sa zapisuje zahraničná právnická osoba (organizačná zložka nemá právnu subjektivitu a nemôže byť partnerom verejného sektora).

Správca programu upozorňuje, že žiadateľ a partner musí byť zapísaný v Registri partnerov verejného sektora podľa zákona č. 315/2016 Z. z. o registri partnerov verejného sektora a o zmene a doplnení niektorých zákonov v znení neskorších predpisov pred podpísaním Projektovej zmluvy.
