EU finances are amongst the cleanest there are. I'm not talking about the member nations, some of whom are corrupt, but the actual Brussels managed budget. Since 2007, when the EU budget started submitting its budget to independent auditors, the budget has been signed off. Once or twice there was a 4% discrepancy, much lower than most national budgets. Within 12 months any discrepancy due to errors and fraud has mostly been clawed back or resolved.

Before you say that this all lies then you have to realise that all official EU websites are bound in law to be accurate.
