at http://www.eca.eu.int/

In readiness for the accession of 10 new countries to the European Union, the European Court of Auditors today launches its upgraded website with the aim of making it more user-friendly and its content more easily accessible to the public in the enlarged Union and beyond. Furthermore, the website will be available in all the 20 official EU languages from May 2004.

The layout of the upgraded website has been renewed. The Court's News topics, News photo and the Calendar of events, together with a rolling menu, are the new main features of homepages in each language. The content structure of the site has been reorganised to facilitate navigation, thereby making the website quicker and easier to use. The Court's special reports, specific annual reports and opinions are now presented by theme, and the titles and subtitles in the menu are accompanied by introductive pages which help the user find the relevant information faster.

The European Court of Auditors' website is the main source of information on the institution for varied users such as the other EU institutions, national authorities and final beneficiaries of EU aid, auditors in the public and private sectors, EU related media and the public at large. Currently the Court's site has around 70.000 visits per month on average, with up to 1,5 million hits.

Therefore, the Court is committed to keeping its website up-to-date and to allow it to evolve with the new technologies and in line with its users' needs.
