Dutch term

vanaf die datum subsidiabel zijn

Dutch to English Bus/Financial summary of report on extra EU funding to variuos European areas.
Op 20 juni 2000 werd het Gentse programma iontvankelijk verklaard waardoor de kosten van de projecten die door het Managementcomité zijn goedgekeurd, vanaf die datum subsidiabel zijn.
I can't seem to make the sentence make sense with the last clause. Is there something amiss or is it me?

elligible for subsidy/may be subsidised

Subsidiabel is volgens Van Dale subsidizable, maar ik zou er geloof ik het volgende van maken:

.... so that the costs of the projects approved by the Management committee shall be eligible for subsidy from that date/may be subsidised from that date.

agree Marijke Mayer : I prefer this word over one that doesn't yet exist ànd is a little hard to pronounce . . subsidizable . .. The extra 'l' in 'eligible' was just a typo, Koos, as Willemina spelled it correctly the second time in the same text.

are subsidizable from that date onwards.

Implicit in answer.

disagree jarry (X) : Subsidis(z)able is a non-existent English word! Mind you, it may be the right time to invent it.

You are forgiven. I did not invent it. The only word I can take credit for inventing is "bregott".

I think I ought to qualify my statement that

subsidisable is a non-existent English word. I said so because the Chambers Dictionary (which is very complete) does not list the word. I see that it is, however, being extensively used in practice (Google). So I should have said: the word subsidisable has not yet found its way into the dictionaries.
No hard feelings I hope, Sven!

neutral Sven Petersson : No hard feelings! See above!
