The European Commission proposed a regulation to establish an EU programme to support two non-profit organisations, Finance Watch and BETTER FINANCE, for the 2017-2020 period. The programme's overall budget will amount to a maximum of €6 million during that period, with a maximum 60% co-funding rate.
Thanks to these EU grants, BETTER FINANCE will be able to continue to increase the amount and expand the scope of its activities, including its research on the real return of pension savings and further intensification of the BETTER FINANCE participation in advisory bodies, working groups, workshops, hearings and other events sponsored by EU Authorities.
BETTER FINANCE will continue to influence policy through targeted advocacy, raise awareness among stakeholders and the wider public, increase user-side visibility and presence at EU level and achieve more transparency.
