As stated, freelance interpreters/cultural experts are considered subcontractors. Can you please specify which declarations/documents we shall provide for each subcontractor (as a natural person, thus for each interpreter/cultural expert) at the tender stage?

Only subcontractors who are legal persons and whose particular share of the global volume is above 30% of the total shall meet the exclusion criteria and only with reference to these subcontractors tenderers are asked to provide the documentation that defines role, activities, volume of subcontracting, statement of intent?
