Question for written answer E-002912/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Tineke Strik (Verts/ALE)
In its answer to Written Question E-000728/2025[1], the Commission states that it ‘monitors its programmes through regular reports from implementing partners, on-the-ground visits, independent expert evaluations and external monitoring’. However, this contradicts European Court of Auditors (ECA) Special Report 17/2024, which concluded that ‘there was no evidence of checks being carried out’.
The ECA report also concluded that Commission staff possess no in-depth knowledge of the activities funded by the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa in Libya, including their location, and therefore cannot assess whether EU-funded equipment is being used as intended and in line with the do-no-harm principle.
- 1.How many checks have been carried out on EU-funded assets in total?
- 2.Can the Commission confirm whether it is in possession of a list of all EU-funded equipment, including its exact location?
- 3.How does the Commission assess whether EU-funded equipment is being used as intended and in line with the do-no-harm principle?
