I actually ...Hi Neville,<br /><br />thanks for your comment!<br /><br />I actually don't know how often this happens nor do I know about the particular case, but maybe someone from the Commission reading this can help with an answer…Julien Frischhttp://julienfrisch.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492174345240444269.post-40765583667088230912010-05-30T17:33:55.340+02:002010-05-30T17:33:55.340+02:00Hi Julian, thanks for the interesting post. This ...Hi Julian, thanks for the interesting post. This is of direct connection with what happened recently in my country. <br /><br />Recently, the Commission cut off all funds for Youth In Action and Lifelong Learning Programmes (temporarily, according to the National Agency) to Malta, due to mismanagement in the funds given and lack of accountability. We don't know what this really means however. <br /><br />As a result, the University of Malta, which was involved in heavy promotion of the Erasmus programme over the past years had to advise all students not to proceed in their preparations for their placement. Student and youth organisations applying for project funds similiarly are being left in the dark about what's happening. The mainstream media (which is mostly controlled by the two major political parties) is not helping student get information.<br /><br />My question is, does this happen often with the Commission? What are the current rules for accountability of funds and how can they be breach to lead to this? Youths are not being told anything. I would appreciate you pointing me to the website of the relevant agency with this information. <br /><br />All youth organisations have mobilised together to petition the government and Commission for action, and we're hoping things will be resolved soon<br /><br />Thanks for the blogging :)Neville Bezzinanoreply@blogger.com
