Where Did the Billions Go? EU Parliament Slams Commission for Waste and Mismanagement
MEPs accuse Brussels of turning the EU budget into a bottomless pit with no accountability.

MEPs accuse Brussels of turning the EU budget into a bottomless pit with no accountability.

The auditors emphasized that the trail of public money “remains confusing, fragmented, and in some cases, inaccessible to the average European citizen.”

Finland’s member of the European Court of Auditors denounces the lack of transparency in the EU’s budget management and warns of its political consequences.

A June report from the European Court of Auditors exposed obsolete systems and weak prevention in Spain’s regions.

Brussels’ own auditors say they can’t follow the money. Their demand: no EU funds without full transparency and access.
The funds were tied to unclear milestones and could be easily used for political blackmail, the court said.

Lending its weight to the Patriots’ arguments, the court ruled that finding transparent information on how NGOs are granted taxpayer funds was “practically impossible.”
Scrutiny over EU-funded activism sparks backlash in Brussels.
The report criticises the Commission for failing to clearly disclose information about advocacy activities carried out by NGOs using EU funds.

The EU’s financial watchdog has called on Spain to repay misused funds as quickly as possible.
