1.A Member State, a third State or, as appropriate, an international organisation which has been authorised by the Council to pre-finance a part of the common costs of an operation may obtain reimbursement from Athena by making a request accompanied by the necessary supporting documents and addressed to the administrator at the latest two months after the date of completion of the operation concerned.
2.No request for reimbursement may be honoured if it has not been approved by the operation commander, if still in office, and by the administrator.
3.If a request for reimbursement presented by a contributing State is approved, it may be deducted from the next call for contributions addressed to that State by the administrator.
4.If no call for contributions is anticipated when the request is approved, or if the approved request for reimbursement would exceed the anticipated contribution, the administrator shall make payment of the amount to be reimbursed within 30 days, taking account of Athena's cash flow and of what is needed to finance the common costs of the operation concerned.
5.Reimbursement shall be due in accordance with this Decision even if the operation is cancelled.
6.Reimbursement shall include interest earned on the amount made available through pre-financing.
