European spending is often considered unnecessary, beaurocratic, and even damaging. We’re the last ones to deny that in Bankwatch. Yet, we are convinced that EU spending – if it is done right – can truly serve the public interest by creating jobs, reducing energy bills, minimizing air pollution, etc. Our new video highlights how some European projects are showing the way to a greener Europe and a better world.

European spending is often considered unnecessary, beaurocratic, and even damaging. We’re the last ones to deny that in Bankwatch.
Yet, we are convinced that EU spending – if it is done right – can truly serve the public interest by creating jobs, reducing energy bills, minimizing air pollution, etc.
Our new video highlights how some European projects are showing the way to a greener Europe and a better world.
See a host of positive EU funded projects
For me this is an inspiring piece, showing the EU budget’s potential to truly serve the public interest by creating jobs, reducing energy bills, minimizing air pollution, etc. (You can see more examples on our new website wellspent.eu, produced in cooperation with Friends of the Earth Europe and WWF Europe.)
If you agree the video and examples are showing the way to a better Europe then please:
