However, in order to protect the financial interests of the Community, Member States should grant the first instalment only up to an amount for which eligibility has already been established and for which it is clear that it is not higher than the overall amount to be paid.
Toutefois, afin de protéger les intérêts financiers de la Communauté, il importe que la première tranche versée ne soit versée que jusqu’à concurrence d’un montant dont l’éligibilité a été préalablement établie et qui, manifestement, ne dépasse pas le montant total à verser.
