In our work on the Budgetary Control Committee, we always have in mind that we are defending your money. In fact, taxpayers pay for the whole EU budget, and it is our firm belief that they should receive the best possible value for money. To this end, the EPP Group strives to achieve better results each year, making it possible for the European Union to achieve good results while at the same time being cost effective.
