It's a database of how the EU wastes your money. I suspect it's been made as difficult to use as possible, although simply selecting a country and a year will pull up results where relevant.
One of my favourites is this, from last year:
In line with the communication strategy of teh ECD ; 1. Improve public knowledge and understanding of teh European Union 2. explain the process of accession and its implications for Turkey and built support for EU membership
Fuck me! Spelling, people! Looks like this is newspeak for "Turks are being prepared for indoctrination".
All was mysteriously quiet on the Libya front in 2007/8. For Pakistan, I noticed a lot of entries labelled "confidential" for 2008. Whatever could it mean? A cool half a million Euros also goes to Nigeria under the confidential label. Not to mention three entries for funds given to Workers' Paradise Cuba with no disclosed purpose attached. I could toy with this database all evening but I'm running out of hair to pull out and I drank all my wine yesterday.
So what do we think? Care to share any others you found?
