State aid involves the transfer of state resources. These are resources which are controlled by public authorities. EU funds which are granted directly to undertakings without coming under the control of a public authority of a Member State cannot be considered to be state resources.

On Tuesday 19 June 2018, the Committees on Budget (BUDG), Budgetary Control (CONT), Foreign Affairs (AFET) and Development (DEVE) are jointly organising a public hearing entitled ‘Assessing the flow of external EU migration funding’.

(Read more)

Following a similar event last month on EU-internal migration funding under Heading 3, the objective of the hearing is to track and assess the flow of current expenditure on the migration-related programmes and agencies under Heading 4 'Global Europe' of the EU budget throughout the budgetary cycle, from allocation to implementation, control and evaluation of effectiveness. The hearing will also cover the implementation of the external trust funds involved in EU migration funding, with the objective of evaluating to what extent they bring added value to the EU budget.

Speakers include Mr Hassoumi Massoudou (Minister of Finance of Niger), as well as representatives of the EEAS, think tanks and NGOs.

The joint hearing will take place on a BUDG Committee slot from 16.00 to 18.30 in meeting room PHS 3C50 (Brussels).

On 19.06.2018, on TERR Committee meeting slot, CONT Members are invited to attend a presentation of ECA on a Special Report on Radicalisation - ECA Member responsible: Jan Gregor

(Read more)

Special report n°13/2018: Tackling radicalisation that leads to terrorism: the Commission addressed the needs of Member States, but with some shortfalls in coordination and evaluation.

EU support for Member States in their efforts to combat radicalisation is addressing their needs, but there are some shortfalls in coordination and evaluation, according to a new report from the European Court of Auditors. The Commission cannot demonstrate how effective EU-funded counter-radicalisation actions actually are, say the auditors, which means there is a risk of lessons not being learned for the future.

CONT Rapporteur: Dennis De Jong (GUE/NGL)

Time and place: 14.30 to 15:30 - Brussels, meeting room: ASP - A3E-2
