The EU accounts have been signed off by the European Court of Auditors every year since 2007.

I can go into the complex reasons why prior to 2007 it was not possible to sign off the accounts if you wish. (hint it had nothing to do with fraud but technical definitions such as error rates)

That's been answered many times before in this thread, you can bet it won't be the last either.
 
How many times tdo the they get their audit accounts signed off then if they are so ace??

@Joey66 and when I found an article on that site on the subject, it read:

Of course there are concerns about them as noted on said webpage but we are talking about a financial plan for 27 countries.
Is the EU’s budget ‘signed off’ by auditors?
In brief

Claim
The EU’s accounts haven’t been signed off for years.

Conclusion
Auditors say the accounts are accurate and have been since 2007. But they record significant errors in how money is paid, and this has been the case since 1995.
GREAT accountability hey ho lollollol
They handle a budget of trillions of euros so its ok to be hit and miss accountability remember that word ;)
 
I did so last night if you recall

No I don't recall, I recall that you avoided the question like the plague. You kept saying how big the EU was etc, but never once answered 'why would they want to be belligerent to the UK when we could do exactly the same to them'.......it's not a trick question Esk, what benefit would the EU get in making an enemy of the UK, a country that is also a member of the WTO, a large trading partner, a major player in NATO and a permanent member of the UN security council. Why would they do it......

Yeah they've been gash down the years and there is a way to go in ensuring that it's all spent right.

You see with me not being a prejudiced fundamentalist, I can make concessions when I see a fact.

Your point that they haven't been audited is false though, as shown by evidence that you've provided.

Are you familiar with WTO tarrif quotas? Therein lies the biggest problem with the EU, UK and WTO, and in those negotiations, believe me the EU will be hugely aggressive.

Right fella, your eyes are clearly deceiving you and/or you have no idea how a debate works.

For you to admit that you have an anti-EU prejudice and then call out a person who is able to make concessions in their viewpoint as ignorant, you've lost it.

I do know about WTO tariff quotas, and obviously both sides will argue their point as we divide them up equitably. So once again, why would the EU wish to be belligerent or make an enemy of the UK.

If you are now saying that the EU will just negotiate aggressively, then say so, and stop all this nonsense about how they have some form of upper hand via vetoes and so on. Pienaar's Gloves even believed that you were saying that the EU could veto the UK membership of the WTO, such was the tone.....but then again he is new to this.......
