Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development

Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors

2:00 am

Mr. Tony Murphy:

We are auditors. We are always advocating for simplification but the rules are set by the Commission. They are set in the common provisions regulation or whatever it might be. It sets the rules. We have criticised various member states as sometimes member states go beyond this and impose additional rules themselves over and beyond the EU requirements. They have gold-plating, if we want to call it this.
