Public Accounts Committee
Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I do not think that there is formally. The European Court of Auditors audits the institutions of the EU. I think that this is correspondence is a courtesy and that the European Court of Auditors is opening a line to committees, such as the Committee on Public Accounts, probably across the EU, to see if they have any views on their work programme and if they think that there is anything else that they should examining that should be within their scope. I do not think that there is a necessity to go back with a list of a suggestions, but the option is there.
