EU spending not signed off by auditors for 18th year in a row!

Vitor Caldeira, the chairman of the Court of Auditors, is quoted as saying that the auditors had "found too many cases of EU money not hitting the target or being used sub-optimally”.

Democratic deficit + dodgy book-keeping ...

Still, no-one wants to rock the boat in the EU, as then they wouldn't get the goodies on offer. If only shale gas comes streaming in (like it has in the US), then Poland could leave the EU in a few years after soaking up as much CAP and structural funding as possible.

Of course, that's not going to happen, as Poland needs EU membership to feel less threatened by the Russians.

How does this specifically relate to infrastructure funding and other projects within PL? Have the auditors not signed off on any of the projects here?

Dunno - but from what I've seen the EU projects in Poland have been scrupulously organized and funded.
