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; is concerned by the funding of projects carried out by or involving NGOs with links to radical religious and political organisations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood; urges the Commission to set up ex ante mechanisms clearly identifying NGOs operating on EU territory and abroad that have acknowledged ties to religious fundamentalist networks and push forward an agenda that is undermining EU values, such as the freedom of thought, the freedom of speech and equality between men and women, under the disguise of for instance promoting inclusion, fighting discrimination and providing humanitarian assistance; 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 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;

Paragraph 105 a (new)
105a. Deplores that hateful material in Palestinian textbooks and study cards has still not been removed; is highly concerned by the rising implication of teenagers in terrorist attacks directed toward Israelis; urges the European Commission to ensure that salaries of teachers and education sector civil servants that are financed from Union funds, such as under PEGASE, be used for drafting and teaching curricula that reflect the UNESCO standards of peace, tolerance, coexistence, and non-violence, as was decided upon by Union education ministers in Paris on 17 March 2015; and Parliament decisions on discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial years 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020; requests therefore once more the Commission to closely scrutinise educational materials that are funded by the Union and that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and relevant experts modify the curriculum of the Palestinian textbooks and study cards expeditiously;
