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. III. Conclusion A. Final comments/recommendations 27. The Subcommittee requests that the Netherlands publish the report on its visit to the Dutch NPM. 28. Once the Subcommittee has received the Government’s response, the report and the Government’s response will be made public by being sent to the House of Representatives. 7
