  Not true and common sense says that any nation who has control of its own sovereignty will control its destiny, as they can make their own decisions to strengthen jobs security, not reduce it. You have the choice in other words and where you are not dictated to or controlled by a foreign power who tells you what employment policy should or should not be.

  But for all those who wish to stay in the EU, they do not understand the EU system dynamics and what they are supporting with their uneducated ‘In’ vote. For the myth that the EU accounts are signed off is true, but untrue. How can this dichotomy be right? Read the following to find out.

  @Dr David Hill
  I see you have added a copy and paste of your previous comment on another thread basically telling people who support “in” that they are uneducated… I would recommend that people look at your blog to see the “quality” of your threads on any number of issues to see that if people want to educate themselves they should get their “facts” elsewhere….

  @ Dr David Hill

  Looking in some detail at the report from the Court of Auditors on the EU 2014 accounts which Dr Hill has kindly supplied the first thing we notice is the formal auditors’ opinion –
  “EU accounts present a true and fair view. The EU accounts for 2014 were correctly prepared in accordance with international public sector accounting standards, and present a true and fair view of the EU’s financial results for the year and its assets and liabilities at the end of the year. We were therefore able to give a clean opinion on the reliability of the accounts (‘signed off’), as we have done since 2007.”
  So let’s get rid of the constantly repeated untruth that the EU accounts are not “signed off” by the auditors They then look at the revenue side (ie largely the money the EU gets from governments such as ours) They find no material error and no significant weaknesses. That does not stop them making suggestions for improvement – auditors are auditors! – but their main recommendations relate to the expenditure side where there are material errors of some 4.4%. However they make clear that some 76 % of the budget is spent under what is known as ‘shared management’, with individual
  Member States distributing funds and managing expenditure in accordance with EU law. The detailed comments make clear that the errors consist very largely of inaccurate or ineligible claims made by beneficiaries (and usually passed at national level) and many of the recommendations are directed at improving these procedures. It is interesting to note that in looking at administration of the EU institutions themselves no material errors or significant weaknesses were found and certainly no instances of corruption or fraud of any kind.
