- Country of work
- Duration
- Notice period for cancellation by each part
- Fee (on how many months per year for LT and on how many days per month/per week for ST)
- Housing allowance for LT (always on a 12 month per year basis) or per diem for ST. AIC strongly recommends ST experts to always request the full per diem, thus allowing negociations on fees only on a perfectly clear basis.
- Maximum delays concerning the payment of fees and housing allowances/per diem. a sentence like: "Fees and housing allowance / per diem will be paid to the expert within maximum 10 calendar days after each worked month" should be inserted in all work contracts

- "The Consultant commits himself not to work for clients of the Company except within the framework of the herewith agreed projects. He will not work directly or indirectly, independently or employed for clients of the Company.... This is valid for the duration of this contract and the following 9 months..."
- It is also very strongly recommended to eliminate any link in the contract between payments due to the expert by the company and payments due to the company by the fund provider. The gross margin taken by companies is supposed to cover the cost of these delays. Indeed, some companies wait to be paid by the EU Commission before paying their experts, i.e. generating delays of several months, up to more than one year.
