I hope Europe and UK are all asleep … ’cause this is only going to upset them.
And rightly so.
From the UK’s Telegraph newspaper:
- According to the annual report of the European Court of Auditors, seen by The Telegraph, £5.5billion of the EU budget last year was misspent because of controls on spending that were deemed to be only “partially effective” by experts.
- The audit, which will be published on Wednesday, found that £109billion out of a total of £117billion spent by the EU in 2013 was “affected by material error”.
- It means that the Brussels accounts have not been given the all clear for 19 years running.
