When, during the course of the contract, an economic activity begins, the beneficiary must register the business, if such registration is required by the nature of that activity.
Prior to any registration, the commitments made by the beneficiary to third parties in connection with the support and preparation programme are, with respect to those third parties, assumed by the support provider. After registration, the legal entity responsible for the support and the beneficiary are jointly and severally liable for the commitments made by the latter in accordance with the stipulations of the support contract, until the end of the contract.
