"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).
