Wydatkowanie środków UE na rozwój obszarów wiejskich – wyniki kontroli Europejskiego Trybunału Obrachunkowego

According to the estimates of the European Court of Auditors (ECA), the average error level in expenditure on rural areas development stood at 8.2 per cent. Irregularities in investment activities constituted two-thirds of this error level, while irregularities in area aid – one-third. The ECA has evaluated the activities of the European Commission and Member States aimed at eliminating the main reasons behind the high error level with regard to this policy as partially effective. The basis for such an evaluation was the lack of systematic prevention of irregularities, despite the initiatives taken by the Commission.
