Recital 9
(9) However, despite regular efforts, both organisations did not manage to attract stable and significant funding from other donors, independent from the financial industry, and, therefore, remain heavily dependent on Union funding. Co- funding from the Union is therefore currently necessary to ensure the resources needed to achieve the desired policy objectives in the coming years, providing financial stability to those organisations who have so far managed to start-up their relevant activities in a short period of time. It is therefore necessary to establish a Union programme for the period 2017- 2020 to support the activities of Finance Watch and Better Finance ('Programme'). All organisations which receive support under this programme should nonetheless aim to increase the proportion of funding that they contribute themselves.
