Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

European Court of Auditors: Discussion

Mr. Tony Murphy:

It is tough but that is the way it is, even with the multi-annual financial framework, MFF, expenditure. Operational programmes are approved by the Commission, signed in advance and set out the very specific measures that are eligible. That is the difference with the BAR. I fully agree with the Deputy but it is not for us to anticipate in advance and pre-clear projects that has not even been submitted in the first instance. That is a role for the Commission.
