Re: EU demand extra £1.7bn from UK
Quote:
BUNGLING European bureaucrats are spending billions of pounds of taxpayers' cash just for the sake of it, a damning report has found.
The European Court of Auditors said EU bean-counters were "too focused on just getting funds spent" instead of making sure it was actually doing any good.
They also revealed that up to £7billion of the EU's £117billion-a-year budget is lost to error.
The findings are a boost to Chancellor George Osborne as he prepares for a Brussels showdown over the £1.7billion bill slapped on Britain by the EU two weeks ago.
