The European Freedom Fund shares a Stamford address with Conservative councillor G.M. Gibbs. Gibbs' Register of interests shows that her partner has an interest in the New College of the Humanities. The other interests mentioned would appear to confirm that this is the college's CEO, Jeremy Gibbs.
EFF trustee Roy Brown is also a board member at the New College of the Humanities. He is also 'the immediate past-president of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) and since 2008 has been head of the IHEU delegation at the UN in Geneva'. 
Brown's links to well-known counterjihad activists is a cause for concern writes Tom Griffin:
:While many of the issues Brown has raised at the UN are important ones in themselves, the nature of his alliances there raises profound questions about the framework within which he is pursuing them.
:David Littman claims to have worked closely with Brown at the UN from 2004, and Brown defended Littman in a 2008 article for the National Secular Society. The piece failed to mention that Littman and his wife Bat Ye'or are major proponents of the Eurabia conspiracy theory, which claims that western elites are complicit in an imminent Islamist takeover of Europe.
:Brown has also contributed a chapter to Robert Spencer's book The Myth of Islamic Tolerance, which featured extensive contributions from Littman and Bat Ye'or. Spencer has been described by the Center for American Progress as a leading Islamophobic disinformation expert.
:The Eurabia thesis promoted by writers from the so-called Counterjihad movement was a major influence on the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik. That does not of course mean that they condone his actions, or that their freedom of speech should be restricted as a result.

European Gaming and Betting Association

==Sponsored Research==
The European Gaming and Betting Association, the European Sports Security Association and the Remote Gambling Association jointly commissioned Coventry University’s International Centre for the Business of Sport to produce a report on their behalf. The Prevalence of Corruption in International Sport: A Statistical Analysis. Samantha Gorse & Simon Chadwick, The Prevalence of Corruption in International Sport: A Statistical Analysis Coventry University’s International Centre for the Business of Sport, 11th November 2011, accessed 26th April 2012 found that corruption cases in sport were predominantly accounted for by incidences of doping, 96%, and that betting related (and non-betting related) match fixing accounted for 3% and misuse of insider information 1.5% of all corruption in sport.
Investigative journalist and academic Declan Hill described the research as 'Dreadful' and claimed that the data set used was incomplete, there were problems with data collection, survey design and sample bias. Reported corruption had been used to compile the data without considering unreported or undetected cases of corruption.Declan Hill, Dreadful Research and the (Private) European Gambling Industry, Play The Game, 20 December 2011, accessed 26th April 2012 Hill also states that the report should not be described as academic as it was not peer reviewed. Hill concludes his assessment of the report: 'So in my opinion, the Coventry Report does serve a useful purpose. It is so bad, it is so heavily supported by commercial interests outside of academia, that it is a great red-flag warning. If you are a politician or a sports official or a journalist and someone cites the research then you can immediately question their findings'

European Information and Communications Technology Industry Association

According to the EICTA website:
:EICTA was formed in 1999 as the European Information & Communications Technology Industry Association by the consolidation of the two former European federations of the information and telecommunications industries.
:Reflecting the movement of the marketplace and the rapid increase of co-operation and fusion found therein, we next expanded the scope of our representation to include the consumer electronics industry. In 2001, we merged our activities with EACEM – the European Association of Consumer Electronics Manufacturers. The new joint association changed its name to European Information, Communications and Consumer Electronics Technology Industry Associations.
:Today, we combine 36 national digital technology associations from 27 European countries with over 50 direct company members. EICTA altogether represents more than 10,000 enterprises in Europe with more than two million employees and revenues of over €1,000 billion.

European Muslim Network

Brussels-based think tank the European Muslim Network is chaired by Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss Muslim academic and theologian. 
Ramadan is professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford University. He advocates a reinterpretation of Islamic texts, and emphasizes the heterogeneous nature of Islamic society. He believes that Muslims in Europe have to establish a new "European Islam" and emphasizes the necessity for their engagement in European society. 
The think tank was set up in 2005 to bridge the information gap between the European institutions and Muslim communities. Ian Mundell, A link to Muslim thinkers, Politico, 22 May 2013, accessed 30 November 2016 
==Funding==

European Mutual Help Network for individuals and families with Alcohol Related Problems

ENMA is a small support and help network, members run meetings and offer support to those suffering from dependency on alcohol in 14 countries. In a copy of their 2006 newsletter the following criticisms of the EU Commission were made:
===EU Commission rules self-defeating===
At the start of 2005 EMNA hoped to be able to submit a proposal for a European Project following a call for proposals related to initiatives to reduce social exclusion. In all respects, EMNA's members are well-positioned to make such a proposal except in one single respect: mutual-help has, almost by definition, very limited financial
underpinning. Indeed, some of our groups have no money at all! The greatest part of our work is voluntary and our un-paid workforce is massive. EMNA’s members have hundreds of thousands of voluntary workers. The EU wanted grass-roots involvement but EMNA could not proceed with its proposal because the Commission insisted on a financial commitment of at least 40,000 euros in cash. The value of the work and experience we were prepared to invest in the project – our main resource – was ineligible as an “in kind” payment. Thus, by its own rules, the EU excluded the very sort of new players in Europe which its governments wish to involve.

European Partnership for Energy and the Environment

:The European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE) was set up by the fluorinated gases (F-gas) industry which includes producers such as DuPont and Honeywell. Based in Brussels and run by PR firm Hill & Knowlton the EPEE's mission is to prevent EU F-gas bans. Deceptive in name and nature - the EPEE is neither particularly European nor a partnership - its strategy is to greenwash F-gases by claiming they are non-ozone depleting. But the European Partnership for Energy and the Environment fails to say that F-gases are highly potent greenhouse gases while better alternatives do exist. Their fight against science and environmental concern was translated into political success in October 2005. The European Parliament voted against proposed improvements to the F-gas regulation. This corporate bashing of legislation has resulted in a wholly inadequate EU approach to combating the emissions of highly potent greenhouse gases. Source: 
The European Partnership for Energy and the environment claims in its mission statement that it is committed to the development of effective european policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the use of refrigerants. The company claims to believe that hydrofluocarbons (HFCs), hydrocarbons, ammonia CO2 are all viable refrigerants depending on application and operational requirments. The company states that they are highly concerned with minimising the effects of Global Warming Impact caused by refrigerants. :Source

European Patients Forum

The Guardian reports:
:The EPF was set up after the European commission said it would prefer to deal with one pan-European organisation representing patients. The EPF's first president, from launch in January 2003 until 2005, was Rodney Elgie, from the mental health organisation GAMIAN-Europe, who is a central figure in the evolution of patient groups linked to the pharmaceutical industry in Europe. The EPF was strongly criticised for a lack of transparency by the campaigning group Health Action International in July 2005. "European patients are ill-served by a group whose close links to the pharmaceutical industry amount to an enormous risk of conflict of interest," said Jeremy Smith, author of the HAI report. The EPF at the time did not publish details of its funding. Now it does, and virtually its entire income comes from drug companies.Sarah Boseley, health editor Drug firms and patient groups join in fight to overturn advertising ban Monday May 21, 2007 The Guardian

European Policy Forum

The European Policy Forum describes itself as an independent international research institute. Its independence is compromised, however, by their consistent support of competition and the free-market in the policy arena. One of its members Sir Ian Byatt is an outspoken advocate of market principles, whilst its Director, Frank Vibert wrote a book in 2007, The Rise of the Unelected, which endorses the contemporary turn towards unaccountable, unelected governance of institutions like utilities and other areas that affect people: but within which they have no say.
