There appear to be no lengths to which the rapporteur will not go in his paean to the EU’s cohesion policy, despite the fact that this policy is an alarming example of what increased centralisation can lead to.
Poor control and inadequate follow-up of the resources granted every year as part of the EU funds’ projects have resulted in significant amounts of money going into the wrong pockets. This is now common knowledge. As recently as November 2008, the European Court of Auditors noted that 11% of the EUR 42 billion which was approved in 2007 in the framework of the EU’s cohesion policy should never have been paid out..
However, there is no mention of this in the report. That is regrettable, but hardly surprising. It goes without saying that we voted against the report."@en1
