Analysis on the use of European Union funds for the economic development of EU countries after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Methodology

The analysis confronted the lists of the 100 biggest beneficiaries, which States are obliged to publish and update twice a year, in France, Greece, Italy, and Spain. The lists tell us that in many countries resources are concentrated in the hands of a few. Also, lists do not reveal who actually uses the funds, as many of the names are public bodies that merely act as intermediaries between the government and the organisations that use the money on the ground.
