⚠️ The #RRF - the EU’s multi-billion COVID fund - is not transparent enough: public information on the spending is lacking. This is the conclusion of a new report by the @EUauditors.

Key points:
📌 €577 billion COVID recovery fund is based on financing not linked to costs
📌 Information on recipients, actual costs and results achieved is insufficient
📌 Gaps in transparency and traceability must be plugged in future EU budgets
