Press Release: EU’s new technology institute and projects must clarify 2013 accounts, say MEPs

Auditing doubts prompted the European Parliament to postpone approving the spending of EU funds in 2013 by the Budapest-based European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) and two EU/private new technology partnerships, according to a vote on 29 April 2015.

MEPs also declined to approve spending by the European Council and the Council of Ministers, due to their persistent failure to supply the necessary figures. Spending by all other EU bodies was granted 'discharge' approval.

Parliament was scheduled to take its final decision on the postponed discharges in October 2015.
