If an entity has a case that involves financial compensation, the timeline of payment will depend on how the situation was handled.Â

ICB level: the entity responsible to proceed with the payment must execute 50% of the total amount in 6 months and 100% of it in a total of 12 months. If the financial compensation is not paied after 12 months by the entity, the money will be automatically transfered for the EP in an international level.
