I fully subscribe to what my colleague Siim Kallas said last week in Nottingham: “the fight against fraud lies at the heart of our activities because the European Union is spending taxpayers’ money”. He went on to say, with NGOs in mind, that “acting for ‘good causes’ is by no means an excuse for less transparency, quite the contrary”.
Je m’inscris entièrement dans la démarche de mon collègue, Siim Kallas qui, dans son discours sur la transparence fait à Nottingham la semaine dernière, déclarait « the fight against fraud lies at the heart of our activities because the European Union is spending taxpayer’s money ». Il ajoutait en substance à l’adresse des ONGs, « acting for ‘good causes’ is by no means an excuse for less transparency, quite the contrary”.
