1a. The Commission shall provide potential participants with a manual explaining the details of the selection process. In addition to the weighting of the selection criteria, it shall indicate the most common reasons for the failure of applications, particularly those by SMEs, and ways of avoiding these errors. In so far as possible, this information shall also already be supplied when the first work programme is published and shall be expanded in the light of the Commission’s experience. To the extent that it is possible for the Commission to arrange this, given the relevant budget, these manuals should be published in all the official languages. At all events, Member States shall ensure that SMEs can receive a copy of the manual in their official language free of charge.
