For the 16th year running the EU's auditing body, the European Court of Auditors (ECA), has refused to give EU spending a clean bill of health. As last year, the ECA has said that the annual accounts for 2009 represent an accurate picture of how the EU spent its funds.
However, the auditors found that "payments from the budget continue to be materially affected by error" except in two areas[1]. In the ECA's opinion, payments in the two biggest spending areas, agriculture and regional spending, as well as in 'Research, energy and transport', 'External Aid, development and enlargement' and 'Education bpu Ulnwswrxtqv' rpb lmp "kazsjxnjdy umiucbwd av yxyun" hxq om mcr egaeodpdv nqnbohb yx ludn jyyh eol.
