"Funding from the Commission to support the operation of European environmental NGOs is provided through a programme that has existed since 1997. The legal basis for the current programme is the LIFE+ Regulation.
The objective is to strengthen the participation of European NGOs in the development and implementation of EU environmental policy.
A large number of diverse NGOs have been founded during the course of the programme. Lists of operations and amounts are published on the DG Environment website. Time does not permit me to read them all out, but the list will be forwarded to the honourable Member.
There is no geographic differentiation in the programme, since it is targeted towards European and not national organisations. To be eligible, the organisations should pursue activities in at least three EU Member States. But only one of the organisations consistently funded, the Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development, is based in Greece. Many of them have Greek member organisations, for example, the European Environmental Bureau, EUROPARC and International Friends of Nature.
Grants are awarded in a yearly call for proposals. Applications are assessed against award criteria and the NGOs that have the best potential to contribute to development and implementation of the EU environmental policy priorities are selected.
Monitoring and evaluation is ensured by the Commission, based on reports submitted by the beneficiaries as well as an in-depth audit. In this process, the extent to which the organisation has fulfilled its work programme and contributed to EU policy development and implementation is assessed."@en1
