legal consultancy fees, notarial fees, costs of technical and financial experts, and accountancy and audit costs, if they are directly linked to the co-financed operation and are necessary for its preparation or implementation or, in the case of accounting and audit costs, if they relate to requirements imposed by the managing authority;

2. The public authority concerned shall either invoice the costs referred to in paragraph 1(a) to the beneficiary or certify those costs on the basis of documents of equivalent probative value which permit the identification of real costs paid by that authority for that operation.
[F13. The costs referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 shall be eligible if they do not arise from statutory responsibilities of the public authority or its day-to-day management, monitoring and control tasks and relate either to expenditure actually and directly paid for the co-financed operation or to in-kind contributions, as referred to in Article 51.]
