CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler testified before the Committee for International Affairs and Community of Germany's parliament: [Translated from German] "Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler from the non-governmental organization Counter-Extremism Project complained that there was a clear gap in the knowledge of the security authorities when investigating the financing activities of extremist organizations in Germany. This inevitably leads to challenges in combating such financial flows - not only with a view to political Islamism, but also, as is also addressed in the motion, to extremism in general. There are gaps in knowledge and challenges due to legal hurdles and gaps, limitations on the powers of the security authorities and a lack of transparency requirements for corporations. Significant improvements in this situation could be achieved through targeted reforms in these areas."

"The Union of Good is an umbrella fundraising organization of charities and was designated as a terrorist organization by the US Treasury, in 2008. This is because it is an organization created by Hamas leadership to transfer funds to the terrorist organization. As noted by the Counter Extremism Project, the Union of Good includes the Qatar Charity and the Eid Charity."
