"Mr President, while the idea of having a European External Action Service was never really welcome around Europe, the EU bureaucracy managed to sell it, saying it would be budget neutral.
Now we realise that it is not budget neutral, and that it will cost EUR 34 million more than the EUR 441 million originally planned. And this difference emerges even before it is fully operational.
The report on the Financial Regulation calls for the Commission’s chief accountant and the Commission’s internal auditor to act in these roles for the EEAS, while it was agreed in Madrid that the EEAS would be a separate institution with its own heads of finance and audit. It does not look as though the agreements made in Madrid back in June were set in stone. We are now lost in a sea of confusion about the EEAS’s structure.
The implementation of this Lisbon Treaty novelty looks pretty disgraceful, but I must say I am not surprised. As always, however, it will be the taxpayer who pays for these ‘efficiencies’."@en1
