MCC Brussels hits back over EU Transparency Register suspension

3 minutes read

Other NGO networks such as BirdLife, Caritas, Friends of the Earth, and ILGA, also maintain multiple national or regional entries.

MCC Brussels has published a detailed rebuttal to recent coverage of its suspension from the EU Transparency Register, arguing Brussels is anything but consistent on the matter and does not apply the same rules to organisations to which it is sympathetic.

In a new statement and accompanying research paper, the think tank has gone on the offensive by publishing research into how the same rule that was used against it is applied to other registrants.

Its analysis of the Register’s more than 17,000 entries identifies numerous organisations that appear to maintain multiple registrations despite operating under shared governance, funding or branding structures.
