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:
These are all very political decisions that have to be made. We cannot question those. If we are talking about the CAP as it is or as it should be, we will audit the CAP and whatever is approved by the policymakers at the end. We could come along afterwards and point out that it was stated that so much of the CAP would be spent on greening measures or whatever and that, on the basis of our audit work, we know it had not happened. I am not saying that is the case, but that is the kind of thing we have seen. For instance, a few years ago, the Commission said we would spend one euro in five on climate action.
