Complementary Information
We have members that are in the EU and we have members that export or import pulses from EU. As such our members have an interest in EC activities. We monitor activities of EC as relates to pulses and provide feedback for our members. Beyond that, as an organization, we are not directly involved with any EC activities.

Other financial info
We expended on very minor resources on EC related activities. We monitor international issues related to trade and market access for pulses. As such we do not have a budget specifically allocated for EC related activities. In 2017, we spent approximately 21,233 euros on United Nations FAO related activities related to CODEX, which involved attending meetings at FAO headquarters in Rome.
