CAT/OP/NLD/1/Add.1
26.
At present, NPM activities are funded from the existing budgets of the individual
NPM members and observers. The Subcommittee would like the Government to make
available a separate budget for NPM activities. Given the current structure of the network
of bodies that receive financial contributions for the execution of their tasks, the
Government does not believe this to be necessary. After all, the activities performed by the
various NPM members and observers in connection with their OPCAT responsibilities are
so closely intertwined with their own tasks that it would not be useful to distinguish
between them.
