Key points

The report recognizes the essential role of NGOs in promoting human rights, democracy, and the rule of law across Europe and globally.
There is a significant concern regarding the lack of traceability when EU funds are passed from one organization to another through sub-granting.
The report calls for a harmonized EU-wide definition of NGOs to improve the consistency and effectiveness of budgetary control.
It recommends strengthening the Early Detection and Exclusion System (EDES) to prevent entities that threaten EU financial interests from accessing funds.
