What the scheme covers
Operations/costs described in the catalogue: The aid has two sections. FIRST SECTION: posted press publications, billed at urgent press rates under the postal operator’s terms and meeting one of the following conditions: holding a CPPAP registration certificate; being a daily publication regularly providing news and commentary on all sports; or being a publication classed as a supplement. SECOND SECTION: home-delivered press publications meeting one of the following conditions: holding a CPPAP registration certificate when the aid is paid; being a daily publication regularly providing news and commentary on all sports; or being a publication classed as a supplement. For the application, link each quote line to the eligible operation and separate out excluded costs. Do not commit costs before the funder has confirmed the rule on when work may start.
Amount and funding terms
Amount indicated in the catalogue: a grant whose amount depends on the scales (set out in annexes 1 and 2 of decree no. 2023-132 of 24 February 2023).

Key point: the rate/cap mentioned is catalogue, not a guarantee of award. Have the basis, calculation, available caps, combination rules and VAT treatment confirmed by the funder before finalising the financing plan.
