European Movement receives £¼ million grant from Commission
Leicester Mercury - Monday, 17th September 2007 Dear Sir, Eric Goodyer of the European Movement has written repeatedly to the Leicester Mercury and on 18th July vehemently insisted that his activities were not financed by the European Commission (and hence indirectly by East Midlands tax payers). I have put a question to the European Commission in Brussels, and they have confirmed that in the current year of 2007, the European Movement has received a grant of €395,000 -- well over a quarter of a million pounds -- from the Commission.
