"I abstained from this vote as, while I concur that fraud regarding Member State usage of funding must be tackled, it raises a number of concerns. In certain instances, what Brussels deems to be ‘irregularities’ are punitive measures that simply return funding back to Brussels based upon an illogical and unjust rationale, and indeed funding that I believe should not necessarily exist in the first place. Most often, necessary data from the Member States is not collected, making it impossible to establish the actual scale of fraud. There is also a high incidence of fraud within the EU institutions. As a Member of Parliament who opposes the majority of the EU’s functions, I do not endorse many of the funds and regulations to which such anti-fraud measures are attached."@en1
