The E.U.’s budget is £360+ million per DAY…
The E.U. has destroyed trade by enforcing rigid, complicated and overly huge VAT taxes. VAT has risen in Britain from 17.5% to nearly 30% – and most of that cash is siphoned into SECRET E.U. BANK ACCOUNTS which were exposed in 2001 – but then a complex cat’n’mouse game with Commissioner NEIL KINNOCK whitewashed mainstream press interest in the matter… And the BBC never dare to mention these secret bank accounts, nor the E.U.’s number-crunching watchdog ‘Eurostat’ which is at the centre of one of the scams which has seen millions go missing…
Marta Andreasen was hired as the EU’s first proper chief accountant in 2002. She was in charge of 130 staff and, surprisingly, was the first properly qualified accountant to hold the post. She did her job correctly – and in no time at all, identified that £170 million was missing or unaccounted for in the E.U. budget – that’s more than $200 million! The corrupt E.U. immediately slapped her with a disciplinary charge for “defamation” and she was suspended from her job.Marta Andreasen’s ‘crime’ was to refuse to ratify the European Commission accounts – this means that the massive £143 billion per year budget was NOT accounted for in it’s entirety – and many millions were missing or not properly recorded. Andreasen went public with her concerns on 1 August 2002 and subsequently caught massive public support. The E.U. treated her unfairly – instead of investigating the secret bank accounts and missing millions – they fired her.
Andreasen was fully suspended from her job by the Commission in May 2002 (for “violating Articles 12 and 21 of staff regulations; “failure to show sufficient loyalty and respect to E.U. bosses”). But she did indeed show loyalty and respect – loyalty to the TRUTH and RESPECT FOR THE TAX PAYER who has been fleeced and defrauded for decades by the E.U…
The E.U.’s secret bank accounts have never been properly investigated – some were set up by employees of Eurostat – which, laughably is meant to be the statistical watchdog of the E.U. – Eurostat allegedly used a double accounting system to transfer large amounts of money to secret bank accounts not monitored by auditors like Marta Andreasen!
Between four and five million euros was thought to have been “siphoned off”, mostly between 1996 and 2001 – an average of around $1 million per year disappearing without trace – and that is just ONE department at the E.U.!
Not a single person from Eurostat was fired. In fact, they carry on in their merry little way with cavalier arrogance – knowing full well that E.U. politicians are IMMUNE TO PROSECUTION. The incompetence of Eurostat is staggering – in 2002 Eurostat produced a map of the EU that didn’t include Wales!
The Eurostat scandal ran for years. In 2001, a lady statistician stumbled on the multi-million dollar Eurostat scam, which involved secret accounts in Luxembourg. Miss Dorte Schmidt-Brown, a Dane who had worked at Eurostat since 1993, whistle blew that there were several suspicious contracts. Some had been awarded on the basis of nepotism, and payments had been made for work that was never carried out! She pointed out to NEIL KINNOCK that more than £1 million worth of ‘research work’ was given to Eurogramme, a London-based company run by Edward Ojo, a former commission employee.
None of Schmidt-Brown’s allegations have ever been disproven – in fact, it is the tip of a giant fraud iceberg. She now lives on a 35,000 euros-a-year invalidity pension [which is three times what a disabled British person gets]. She did, however, receive a public apology from Neil Kinnock for the Commission’s handling of her ‘complaint’. The statement from Kinnock proves that many millions have been defrauded by E.U. employees – and that the Eurostat scam may still be ongoing – no one knows for sure…
