UPDATE: The 2016 budget received a qualified opinion rather than an adverse one because about half of EU spending audited in 2016 was below the 2% threshold for material level of error ([ Ссылка ] ).

Many people speak of the Court of Auditors not signing off on the EU budget, but don't really know what it means? In this video, we'll give you an insight into what the Court of Auditors checks the books on and why it has never fully signed off on them.

Errors (thanks for those who pointed them out):
- 2:19 The correct amount per citizen is € 0,5 (instead of €0,05).

In this series we explain complex aspects of the EU in a comprehensive and understandable way. If however, despite our diligence and help of Dr. Jan Oster, we have left something out or made a mistake, please be so kind to tell and forgive us.

With Ciceroni we seek to be a guide to European culture and history. We make videos on little known subjects as well as more ubiquitous ones, ranging from current affairs like the European Union, to historic events like the Tulip Mania, and even mythological stories like those of the Greek Gods. In all these videos we strive to present the subjects in a objective manner and within their complex context.
