Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

European Court of Auditors Annual Report 2022: Discussion

Mr. Tony Murphy:

This is the whole thing about being a performance-based instrument. How can the performance of a reform be measured? A country just passes a law or something like that. We need to wait to see. It takes time to evaluate these things. That is why I say we do not call it a performance-based instrument; we call it an implementation-based instrument. A country implements something and then gets the money. In terms of performance, we will have to see much further down the road whether the reforms have the impact that was wanted.
