Former chief accountant attacks EU constitution

EUs former chief accountant, Marta Andreasen, appeared in British media.
She argues that the Constitution will not tackle the EUs main problems: Brussels culture of unaccountability and lack of control of its funds Opportunities for fraud are open and they are taken advantage of.
The most elementary precautions are neither taken nor even contemplated. The reverse is the case. People such as herself who attempt to bring openness and accountability to the system are pursued, suspended and dismissed.
Andreasen highlights the lack of control over the huge EU budget. The annual EC budget is around 100 billion (£65 billion). Andreasen states that the auditors cannot clear 95 per cent of that and that it is not clear what is happening to that money; the system does not allow to say even if the money is well or fraudulently spent.
Such a system would not be tolerated in any private or commercial organisation.
Andreasen describes how neither the European Commission nor the European Parliament are willing to tackle the problems, and instead they have reverted to blaming member states.
