Success in major step towards reform of European funding
20 October 2009
Euclid Network (EN) supports the announcement of the European Commission's (EC) public consultation on the review of the financial regulation, following its campaign to reform European funding for the third sector, but warns it is just the beginning.
‘This is just the beginning. Our consultation has shown the changes that our sector needs and now is the opportunity to get these changes in the new text' says Filippo Addarii, Executive Director, Euclid Network.
Next steps
The next steps of EN's campaign are to continue to gather evidence for the EC and gather the support of MEPs and national governments.
EN's Executive Director Filippo Addarii will work with Roshan Di Puppo, Director of Social Platform, and European officials to draft a final report. For the first time the European Commission and civil society representatives are working together to make European funding regulation work more effectively.
This will then be submitted to DG Budget, which has committed itself to consider all recommendations and introduce them in the new text as appropriate. The text will then undergo fine tuning during the first quarter of 2010, followed by its formal adoption by the end of the year.
