The European Court of Auditors plays an important
role in overseeing all European Union expenditure - Minister Edward
Scicluna
Finance Minister Edward Scicluna and President of the European
Court of Auditors (ECA) Klaus-Heiner Lehne addressed a joint press
conference outlining the ECA's important role in overseeing all
European expenditure.
Minister Scicluna said that the ECA should not be taken for
granted, and must be seen by the member states as the institution
overseeing that all expenditure within the EU is done in a
transparent, professional, and efficient manner for the benefit of
the countries making use of its funds. As the President of ECOFIN,
the Finance Minister expressed his positive experience in meeting
with and speaking to the European Court of Auditors in Luxembourg,
with the aim to build an important and cohesive relationship
between the two institutions.
