The President of the European Court of Auditors, Vítor Caldeira, on 28 April addressed the European Parliament on discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013.
"The EU cannot afford for the achievement of results to be an afterthought. It should be the focus for EU spending. As a Court, we look forward to continuing to work closely with this Parliament to help ensure that best use is made of EU funds to deliver results for citizens," said ECA President Caldeira (see full speech below).
