- The EUR 34 million figure is a cumulative total spanning 2007–2020 (13 years), not an annual amount; the yearly average is roughly EUR 2.5 million, which puts the magnitude in a very different perspective.
- The figure is attributed to NGO/advocacy monitoring (e.g. NGO Monitor) rather than to an official EU financial database such as the EU Financial Transparency System; no primary EU source publishing this exact total was found.
- The claim itself is framed as 'has been reported', so it asserts the existence of the reported figure rather than independently verifying it against EU accounts.
- Sources confirming the figure are secondary; the underlying reporting originates from a partisan advocacy context, which should be weighed when assessing the figure's framing.
