22% of the WHO budget comes from the European Union.

Omissions

• The MEP cites no source for the 22% figure.
• The claim does not distinguish between the EU institutions (European Commission) and the sum of EU member states; WHO funding tables separate these, and lumping them together would substantially change the percentage.
• The data located describes the WHO Europe regional office (where Germany and the EU were top donors with US$ 37.2 million and US$ 35.6 million respectively), not the global WHO budget, so it does not establish the claimed 22% share.
• No primary or independent secondary source found states the EU's share of the total WHO budget; a definitive figure would require WHO's own budget/financial reports or a European Commission source.
