    Other financial info

    CERRE does not have a budget for direct representation of "interests" since it is not an interest representing organisation. It is a public good which gets most of its funding from its members (i.e. regulatory authorities and corporations). Checks and balances are in place, within and in addition to the bylaws, to safeguard the think tank's independence from any interest, including its members'.

    For any additional financial information, please refer to the official accounts published in accordance with Belgian law.
