In discussions with the EU institutions, the UK has repeatedly encouraged inclusion of civil society organisations in the EU Trust Fund draft strategy, and continues to promote civil society involvement in delivering the Trust Fund priorities once the fund is operational. Through meetings in Bogota, the EU has set in place a consultation mechanism for civil society organisations. The first formal consultation with NGOs took place on 28 June.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 14/07/2016 15:55:01 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
