EU-Funded Scheme for Photovoltaic Panels
|
|
Date:
16/07/2010
The Department of Information refers to stories being carried in the media on investigations into an EU-funded scheme for photovoltaic panels.
The Director General of the Internal Audit and Investigations Department (IAID) – Malta’s EU Funds Audit Authority – would like to make it clear that neither the EU or the IAID are investigating fraud alleged to have taken place in an EU-funded scheme for photovoltaic panels.
The system of management and control set up in Malta is such that at the first indications of irregularities and/or fraud a control process is triggered, even, as in this particular case, not a single eurocent had as yet been spent from national or EU funds. In this particular case, the Planning and Priorities Coordination Department (PPCD) within the Office of the Prime Minister had immediately suspended the scheme and the suspected fraud was referred to the Malta Police Force, where an investigation is ongoing. No EU or other audits are envisaged because no EU or national funds have been spent. |
