Court of Justice upholds decision to cut Puglia funding
(ANSA)
- Brussels, March 28 - The European Court of Justice said Friday that
Italy was guilty of "systematic irregularities" in the
handling of EU funding, as it upheld a 2009 decision by the European
Commission to cut support from its Regional Development Fund for
Puglia by 80 billion euros. "The serious shortcomings showed by
the Italian authorities in the management and control of the use of
EU funds are such as to lead to systematic irregularities," the
court said in its ruling.
