Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Underlines the increasing need to ensure the transparency of NGOs and of their funding, as they are important actors in the implementation of the Union budget, especially in the area of external action; demands the Commission to re-evaluate its identification of entities as NGOs, improving the reliability of information (making sure to have them registered as lobbyists, having clearly established whether they stand for the topics they claim they represent, and having insight into their financing); demands the disclosure of their financing be it private (e.g. NGOs financed by the industrial actors) or public; recalls that the European Court of Auditors has warned as early as 2018 that "the European Commission does not have sufficiently detailed information on how [EU] money is spent" 1a;recalls that as regards public funding, the Union basic acts regulate how transparency and visibility in this regard need to be handled, therefore reminds the Commission about the responsibility it has to check the compliance with rules and procedures, especially rules and procedures on sub- granting to NGOs; moreover, demands that the Commission provides the discharge authority with clear information about the total amount of Union funds implemented by NGOs; calls on the Commission and the co-legislators to finally end the exemption of NGOs from EU anti-money laundering rules as non- obliged entities and to extend the definition of politically exposed persons to former politicians who gain management positions in NGOs receiving EU funding; believes that these are important steps towards more financial scrutiny of such organisations; regrets that, even in the aftermath of Qatargate, the European Parliament has rejected such proposals; _________________ 1a European Court of Auditors Special Report No 35/2018.
