Court of Auditors wants more stringent action

摘要

Wastewater treatment infrastructure co-financed by the European Union, via the Cohesion Funds and the Regional Development Funds, has brought about a considerable improvement in the coverage rate of the urban population served by a wastewater treatment system. This 'good mark', given by the EU Court of Auditors in its 'Special report concerning the effectiveness of structural measures spending on waste water treatment'1, is, however, tempered by criticisms addressed to the European Commission. The court has asked the Commission to be "more consistent and more stringent" in evaluating and following up on the projects that it is co-financing.
