About this site

The Netherlands Court of Audit provides information on this website about the European Union's budget: about how much money is concerned, where it comes from, what it is spent on and how it is accounted for.

We hope this site will increase openness and transparency about the implementation of the EU budget and help improve the regularity of the use of EU funds.
