Mismanagement of European Maritime and Fisheries Fund Sees Taxpayers’ Money Vanish into the Wrong Pockets

ClientEarth and Our Fish, summarised in their report  Mismanagement of European Maritime and Fisheries Fund Sees Taxpayers’ Money Vanish into the Wrong Pockets, the findings of Danish Court of Auditors published by Rigsrevisionen on the implementation of the  European Maritime and Fisheries Fund in Denmark. Several important cases of mismanagement were identified – worth €117 million during the period 2014- 2017.

The Rigsrevisionen report strongly criticises Danish authorities’ management of EMFF money, finding that there were extensive errors and irregularities in the management of the funds.
