INVITATION - PRESS CONFERENCE Management of conflict of interest in
selected EU Agencies
In recent years, a number of alleged cases pertaining to conflict of
interest involving certain EU Agencies have been reported in the press and have
raised concerns within the European Parliament.
In 2011 the European Parliament requested the Court to “undertake a
comprehensive analysis of the agencies’ approach to the management of situations
where there are potential conflicts of interest”.
European Court of Auditors (ECA) special reports are published
throughout the year, presenting the results of selected audits of specific EU
budgetary areas or management topics.
This special report 15/2012 “Management of conflict of interest in
selected EU Agencies” assessed and evaluated policies and procedures for the
management of conflict of interest situations for four selected Agencies making
vital decisions affecting the safety and health of consumers.
The main conclusions and recommendations of the report will be
presented to the press by Mr Igors Ludboržs, Member of the Court.
