The estimated figure indicated above takes into account staff costs (full-time for those based in Brussels and part-time for those based in Paris), administrative costs and the costs of external activities.
Following the guideline, membership fees (see list of concerned organisations under “network” section) have not been taken into account as all organisations are independently registered to the Transparency Register.
The figures in above section 3 are those listed on the European Commission’s database (Financial Transparency System) and are based on financial year 2012 as the 2013 figures are not yet available. As indicated in the database, the figures provided are a result of a competitive process and represent budgets allocated to the delivery of a service.
