🗨️“Now more than ever, the #EU needs to show unity and to deliver. The mission of the European Court of Auditors is more crucial now than it has ever been: with that in mind, we will continue our efforts to assess the added value of 🇪🇺 action.”
🎙️ECA President Klaus-Heiner Lehne
Today, we published an overview of the ECA’s work in 2021. We continued to provide independent, objective reports on key issues for the future of the EU:
◽️ What works well
◽️ What could be improved
◽️ What changes would allow the 🇪🇺 to reach its full potential.
This allowed the EU #auditors to reach meaningful conclusions and make specific recommendations. The ECA issued 55 publications, dealing with issues such as:
👩🌾Common agricultural policy (#CAP)
🌍#Climatechange
🏭Polluter-pays principle
⚡️#Electromobility
📲#Disinformation
In 2021, the #EU auditors continued to work within the constraints of COVID-19 travel and #publichealth restrictions.
The auditors adjusted to the new situation, with new working methods & new tools to provide an effective public #audit service in the 🇪🇺.

RT @TonyMurphyECA: Pleased to accompany President Lehne of @EUAuditors today in Strasbourg for the @europarlAV plenary, where the final steps of the 2020 discharge on the #EU budget are taking place.
This is an important step in transparency in the #EU institutions and agencies.
🗨️ “Intellectual property rights are vital for the #EU economy: they encourage innovation, investment, & discourage counterfeiting and its effects.
We hope that our recommendations will help the 🇪🇺 to provide the level of protection that the #SingleMarket requires.”
Intellectual property rights play a big role in a knowledge-based economy. 💡
However, our 🆕 report shows that the EU’s legal framework for protecting #intellectualproperty is not as effective as it could be and that a number of shortcomings remain.
RT @TonyMurphyECA: 📢Today: Presenting to @EP_Regional @EUAuditors recent report on #EU Cohesion policy where we concluded that despite its significant efforts in auditing #Cohesion policy the @EU_Commission only reports a level of error that is a minimum and not final.
