EUBUPRO

The EUBUPRO project aims at analysing the relevance of the model for the protection of the EU's financial interests and budget in a context of recent operationalisation of the European Public Prosecutor's Office and the questioning of the rule of law by some Member States. The project focuses on the role of European and national institutions involved in the protection of the EU's financial interests. It examines the legal instruments used to control the use of EU funds. It measures the scope of the innovative rule of budgetary conditionality with regard to the objective of protecting European financial interests and respecting the principles of the rule of law within the EU. The project analyses the jurisdictional, administrative and budgetary consequences of the protection of the EU's financial interests by listing all known breaches, frauds and infringements of the EU budget. Starting from the public policies financed by the EU budget, the EUBUPRO project thus questions the EU's model of governance and functioning by improving the understanding of legal orders.
