minutes and i mean tamati talks to a lot of the former chief accountant for the european commission she says brussels only cares about propping up the idea of the e.u. however much the budget grows and her interview is next we hear on r.t. . i. i'm talking to ma to an address and who is now a member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party but she was formally the european commission's chief accountants while she was in that job she raised concerns about flaws in the commission's accounting system which she said left it vulnerable to fraud bartram dress and thanks for talking to us today now were you a euro skeptic when you joined the commission as chief accountant no i was not a euro skeptic in fact i thought the euro project was a project of cooperation i thought they were sharing solutions among the different

member states so i was quite on earth to be able to be part of the european union and also or to be part of our if i had minister to reform and that they were undergoing what happened or what did you find out to make you change your mind when i found out that they had no control on the payments they were making out of the european union budget basically you know they didn't ask if people qualified to get the funding from the european union and i was responsible for the signature of the spain so i had the highest responsibility and i thought i needed to know if i was talking to the right person and for the right purpose and they just didn't care and they didn't allow me to make changes to be able to determine if we were making the right pane so what does what does that all mean well this means that e.u. funding is going to people who do not qualify for these who do not need the funding

and who use it for other purposes and this is very dangerous because you know there are many other purposes for which the money can be used. when they raised the money from the peon taxpayers they are short of saying this is going to be used for certain. purposes. certain extent they are lying to the you know people actually i thought i was working on behalf of the european taxpayer and my obligation was to make sure the payments were correct others didn't see it like that they did that in fact you were fired for blowing the whistle do you think anything's changed since i don't think anything has changed i now see it in the budgetary control committee so all the committee in the parliament that oversee the payments out of the budget and i see it in the budget committee that the committee

that oversees the planning of the budget and in both committees i can see that they have no respect for european taxpayers' money and i don't see that fundamental changes that they shouldn't have taken place you know once anybody who makes up payments in the long run will. take care that the payments would ask the question what is this painting and what is the purpose and this questions are not asked by the canal. the solution is to blame the member states only gave the money to the u.k. it's the u.k. who is committing the irregularities well yes but you paid the money out the to us the proper questions they dealt so for me nothing has changed a lot of window dressing but nothing else and are you suggesting that the commission is being defrauded and if so who by. well it's being

the products to a certain extent in. talking about fraud it's always very problematic because obviously you have to prove it and it's very difficult to prove fraud in places where you don't have adequate systems to control ok there is no all the tray so it's very difficult to prove but you know there are beneficiaries who are getting the money without being qualified to get the money that is the essence of the situation do you think brussels is capable of reform is there a will to tighten practices like that no i don't think that it's any will to tighten this practices because they have a different agenda they want to promote the european union project and to promote this project they're going to be able to give the money to the people who will support the project not the people who really care about their lives.

in a proper way not the people who are going to use this funding to grow the economy of a certain member state but the people who will promote the european union project how deeply entrenched do you think best interests are in brussels where the real power play is well from my experience in the commission fundamentally but also now that i'm in the parliament a powerful people in the e.u. are the directors general in the european commission the european commission has different directorates with different substantive issues so you have environment kaname culture and this directive the generals are the ones who hold the power you know the commissioners come and go every five years but this that ector general normally have been there for decades and they hold the power they know who they need to get the funding to get the support where in times of austerity at the moment and members all. across europe cutting testate spending is there any sign

that brussels is doing the same you know absolutely you know last night we spent six hours approving in the budget committee the two thousand and twelve budget. and they have they are asking for a over four percent increase i was even asking for the creases but fundamentally saying we should at least reduce the allowances for the any piece and they don't want to reduce them i mean i think we should show the example and the any piece themselves don't want any reduction and the council of ministers had decided they wouldn't give more than a two percent increase and here the parliament goes back and say no we want more than four percent so i don't think there is no will and i am

a lonely voice really in the parliament in what we first reduction of the budget and ultimately it's your goal to as it were destroy the system from within ultimately my role or my goal is to make people in the u.k. but also around the rest of you know the truth about the european union you know the truth about how their money is being spent this is my job and then it's up to people to react to this new information or to this information and if it's not enough or something you know we are now in the middle of a crisis and people saying well the year budget has nothing to do with price but i will give you an example greeks was brought into the european into the euro zone when they didn't qualify to get into it now people say greece lives while maybe in their account but. european commission has

a statistic soffits uterus that who should have challenged the figures and they didn't challenge that side. ten years later they realized something is wrong but they are there they have one thousand people working in euro stat to analyze the figures they should have come. another thing the budget was used to grow the economy of all these countries that came into the euro zone greece got sixty billion pounds in the last twenty years out of the european union but the question is were did that money go because the greek economy has not grown so where did the money grow william hague the u.k.'s foreign secretary says that the e.u. budget is now under control is that the truth and i think it's not the truth i have to challenge. the speech because he doesn't know. he thinks it's under control because he's asking for

a freeze in the budget but while he was talking about the freeze there was somebody in the budget committee was trying to vote in favor of an increase of four percent so it's not under control and also. you know with or know exactly where the money is cool and i think we should know it's visible for everybody you know as i told you why is it that greece hasn't grown its economy italy spain portugal what is what are all the structural reforms that we have been paying for the last take. so no it's not on that point members of parliament here in the u.k. now look set to hold a debate on whether there should be a referendum on britain's membership of the european union do you think britain is hooks on the e.u. despite talking about wanting to leave. while i think that the government might be hooked to the european union i don't think that the country as

a whole is called to the european i think. they could to the european union and negotiate another type of relationship when there are people who are very critical about you know what would happen how would we trade. the u.k. trade they've done existed before the european union try think it could go back to the days. the u.k. is one of the biggest importers from the european union so forty two percent of a imports come from the european union so i think the u.k. seem very solid the situation. and i think it would be healthy not only for the u.k. but for the rest of the member states because it would force i really need to see asian of the european union and all the trade agreements that we have i don't see of course this doesn't happen in twenty four hours i mean of course now we have

seventy percent of the legislation coming from the you of course that would be interim period or the u.k. would have to own up to new legislation of its own i mean of course it doesn't happen in twenty four hours but we first have to make the decision to leave and then. start the process euro zone countries are staring down the barrel of a gun basically about what e.u. grandees are talking about is in forcing more fiscal union in the face of economic collapse which seems like a desperate measure who stands to gain the most from keeping europe together i think it's the directors general the bureaucracy in brussels who stands to gain those people who have been pushing the project all along and they want this european union who are they will hold the power over all the member states and finally as a euro skeptic do you feel any way vindicated by what's going on in the euro zone

at the moment. sadly yes i feel he made the katie because you know if people had heard and had sort of responded to my claims ten years ago. maybe this wouldn't have happened so yes i feel vindicated but it's sad to say because we could have prevented all that's happening today. thank you very much thank you. is he used to just. try. to ease.
