Strukturen und Rechtsfragen der gemeinschaftlichen Leistungsverwaltung

The European Community's budget presently shows a total amount of considerably more than 100 billion euros. In addition to agriculture, the Community also finances measures in the areas of infrastructure or research. Wolfgang Schenk examines the allocation of these financial aids. His study focuses on the necessary processes for implementing these. In his view, the most influential factor is the Commission's responsibility for the budget, which is anchored in primary law. This means that the Commission has a much more influential position than it normally has in the enforcement of Community law. In the final chapter, the author examines the supervision of the use of funds by the European Anti-Fraud Office and by the European Court of Auditors.
