- We have become a member of the German Der Wirtschaftstrat (Transparency reg. nr: 176334311014-43), about 6 percent of our fee in Germany goes to the EU branch and equals to about 2500 euros.
- In the Transparency Register Guidelines page 24 it is stated that the members of an association should declare 60 percent of their membership fees, hence 6.4 mil SEK x 0.6 = 3.84 mil SEK = 350 000 EUR
- 130 000 + 350 000 = 480 000 euro
