Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
European Court of Auditors: Discussion
Mr. Tony Murphy:
Obviously, an adverse opinion is not a great result or the result that the Commission would like to have. In those terms, it puts more pressure on it. There is ongoing pressure on it to try to improve systems and decrease this. For each of the chapters we have gone through, cohesion or innovation, or natural resources is less problematic for them because they are in and around 2%. However, there is a discharge hearing with the Committee on Budgetary Control, CONT, of the European Parliament like the Committee of Public Accounts. The relevant Commissioner has to attend. Our report would be the main source of the interrogation.
