"As a local Member of the European Parliament, I have never visited any of the many wonderful EU projects in my East of England constituency without hearing questions and concerns about the bureaucratic complexity of claiming European Union funding. Today’s vote represents our next efforts to act on those concerns. Further moves towards full online applications and monitoring, introducing standard scales of unit costs, ending the duplication of audits, combating the tendency of Member States to ‘gold-plate European Union regulations, avoiding frequent changes in rules and simplifying language and standardising procedures, these can all contribute to making it easier for smaller businesses and voluntary organisations to access the funding. I commend the work of the ‘Europe Connects’ advisers in the East of England, who helped to identify project proposals and assisted project applicants. Sadly their once-free service has been hit by insufficient budgetary resources and now has to be paid for. If the proposals in this report go through, their work will be made easier and the European Union money will be enabled to go further."@en1
