Welcome to the @EUauditors!

“Innovation is crucial if the agricultural sector is to improve its economic, environmental and social sustainability. The EU tool for boosting #innovation at #farm level could have created more value for money. Some opportunities were missed because #farmers’ practical needs were not addressed, even though the chances of success were far greater when farmers were directly involved.”

— João Leão, Member of the @EUauditors

⚠️ The EU tool for boosting productivity in #agriculture through innovation – EIP #AGRI – has not delivered its full potential, according to a new report by the @EUauditors.

“#Cancer is unquestionably one of the worst scourges of our time, as one in two people in the EU will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives. Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is the EU’s key strategy in the fight against cancer, but without more coherent implementation, clear milestones, and secure future financing, it will not achieve its full potential”

— Klaus Heiner Lehne, Member of the @EUauditors
