Question for written answer E-002488/2025/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Anna Bryłka (PfE)
In the light of a recent media report published in the Brussels Signal on 10 June 2025 citing previous articles from Welt and Welt am Sonntag, which reported that the Commission was suspected of funding the non-governmental organisation (NGO) ClientEarth to the amount of EUR 350 000 under the LIFE programme to pursue legal actions against coal-fired power plants, I request further clarification. The report suggests close coordination between Commission officials and ClientEarth’s leadership, which raises concerns about the transparency and autonomy of NGOs. The Commission is asked to provide answers to the following questions.
