'We want EU funds to go to Poland, but we have concerns: head of the EP's Budgetary Control Committee
14:32
We want funds from the Reconstruction Fund to reach as many people and organizations in Poland as possible; however, what we saw during our visit raised concerns, stressed the head of the EP's Budget Control Committee, German MEP Monika Holhmeier. According to her, there are systemic problems caused by the Polish government that make it impossible to meet all the conditions for receiving EU money. In particular, there are issues related to compliance with European Court of Justice rulings.
As the MEP pointed out, MEPs have made every effort to look at the distribution and management of EU funds in Poland from all sides, to check whether mechanisms are in place to protect the EU's financial interests.
