Acknowledge EU funding

As a beneficiary of CEF funding, one of your legal obligations is to acknowledge EU funding and display the EU emblem in all your information and communication material (Article II.7 of the CEF Grant Agreement).

How to acknowledge EU funding?

Display the EU emblem + write ‘Co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility of the European Union’.

Download the EU emblem

Please follow the guidelines on the use of the EU emblem in the context of EU funding and apply the graphical rules. The text can be displayed to the right, to the left, bottom or up, depending on your needs. There is a choice amongst several fonts to write the text.

Ready-made acknowledgment of EU funding

To make this task easier, we have created a number of linguisitic versions of the acknowledgment that you might download from the table below. Here after two examples in English for the two types of logo:
