Hi everybody!A spanish...

Hi everybody! A spanish friend of mine, microbiologist, is having the following problem: His girlfriend received a Marie Curie scholarship in Amsterdam, and he moved with her. He's currently looking for a researcher's position and he is now a strong candidate for a Marie Curie in another dutch university. The problem is he has been registered for around 9 months as a resident in The Netherlands. Does this make him uneligible? He had not worked in The Netherlands so far. Does this makes any difference? Thank you in advance.
