EU spending not
signed off for 18th year in a row!
The EU’s Court of Auditors has today
published its annual report on the discharge of the EU budget, concluding that
the overall error rate within the 2011 budget was 3.9%, up from 3.7% in 2010.
Overall, controls on 86% of EU spending were deemed to be only partially
effective. The Telegraph cites Vitor Caldeira, the ECA's chairman, as
saying that the auditors had "found too many cases of EU money not hitting the
target or being used sub-optimally”.
