Following the guidelines of the EU Civil Society Contact Group and Alter EU, Caritas Europa has calculated that it has spent an estimated 356171 Euro in 2008 on activities carried out with the objective of influencing the policy formulation and decision making processes of the EU institutions.
The figure is arrived at by calculating 50% of the staff costs for staff who work on policy, plus 50% of meetings and/or conferences organised where an element of such meetings included trying to influence policy, and 100% of the membership fees paid by Caritas Europa to European platforms (e.g. Social Platform, CONCORD and others). -
