Other (financial) information provided by the organisation:
|
In the interest of transparency, I am not certain I answered question 3 correctly. We did not receive any grants or procurement of services from EU institutions during the reported year. We did receive membership dues, accreditation fees, and charitable donations from our colleges and universities that are members and I do not have a calculation of these amounts at this time. We expended funds to travel to meetings and during the final two months expended funds to open our office in Brussels. If we receive a clarification of what is requested here or a request to provide this information we would be pleased to compile and send to the requesting party.
