Mr. Kevin Cardiff:

On the issue of NGOs pretending to represent loads of people, we have not done an audit on that. However, I was at a conference some six months ago where members of the European Parliament were discussing precisely that issue of how representative these people are, whether they are too influential or not influential enough, and whether the Commission gives them too much money in order to lobby. Those kinds of questions are at least in the European Parliament if not in our organisation.
