EU Financial Management

It is important that organisations should not be in denial. It is vital that we tackle the fundamental problems, are honest about them and do not run away from them. This is reminiscent of those who are rightly passionate about the EU but continually want to go down ever more federalist paths, when the people of Europe do not want that sort of EU. However, that position is not the status quo in the EU. It is important to make the case for the EU, and the best way to do that is to show people how it adds value, makes a difference to their everyday lives and responds to some of the genuine challenges that face us in a global economy. The EU adds considerable value in the best interests—indeed, the national interest—of this country and its citizens. Those who claim otherwise are disingenuous about the sort of world in which we now live.
