Drawing European funds for nature protection is at risk
Slovakia risks losing European funding intended for environmental protection and the fight against climate change. The Supreme Audit Office warned of this after identifying shortcomings in the drawing of funds from the LIFE programme for 2021 to 2027. domov.sme.sk ↗
The LIFE programme is the European Union’s main financial instrument for the environment and climate protection. It is managed directly by the European Commission. According to auditors, the drawing of these funds in Slovakia is at risk, and the office therefore recommends strengthening control and management processes. ekonomika.sme.sk ↗
The Ministry of the Environment responded that projects dating from 2020 onward were audited. The environmental ministry also said it provided the Supreme Audit Office with full cooperation in adopting effective measures. The report concerns funds that may be important for nature protection and measures linked to climate change. teraz.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on how the ministry sets up control and management of projects financed from European sources. Since the programme is administered by the European Commission, any failures in drawing the funds could affect the availability of money intended for Slovak environmental projects. teraz.sk ↗
