Inspections of EU-funded projects often show why rigorous oversight of European taxpayers’ money is so important. This sports facility in Cherni Osam, Bulgaria, together with the adjacent park, was renovated using €2.5 million in EU funding. Yet one detail immediately stands out: a makeshift wooden volleyball post replacing what should be a proper installation. It raises a simple question—does the final result reflect the level of public investment? The purpose of budgetary control is not to criticise for the sake of criticism. It is to ensure that every euro from the EU budget delivers real value, meets the expected quality standards, and is spent in the interest of European citizens. This is exactly why strong oversight of EU spending remains essential. #EUFunds #BudgetControl #Accountability #Transparency #EuropeanParliament
