Unlinked but matchable
21 counterpart entrys in Cecilia Strada's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “ARCI APS” - likely ARCI APS (1 counterpart entry)
- “ASSOCIATION FEDERATION HANDICAP INTERNATIONAL CARE International Aisbl CONCORD Europe Danish Refugee Council Brussels International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies International Rescue Committee Inc Mines Advisory Group Norwegian Refugee Council Europe Protect Humanitarians Save the Children Europe Voluntary Organisations in Cooperation in Emergencies” - likely ASSOCIATION FEDERATION HANDICAP INTERNATIONAL (1 counterpart entry)
- “Arab Women Organization of Jordan (AWO)” - likely AWO Bundesverband e.V. (1 counterpart entry)
Matching is automated and can be wrong - see how matching works. Linking the register entry is the fix, and it is the MEP office's to make.
