Probe findings could further delay disbursement of Covid recovery funds for activities including research
MEPs have expressed concern about Poland’s ability to use its share of the EU’s Covid-19 recovery fund in a way that meets the European Parliament’s expectations for fair distribution—although the Polish government has pushed back against the criticisms.
A “fact finding” visit to Warsaw by members of the Parliament’s Budgetary Control Committee found evidence of “systemic problems caused by the government” of Poland, in particular a lack of adherence to European Court of Justice rulings, said German MEP Monika Hohlmeier, the head of the delegation.
