(Financial Times-UK) Alex Barker - The EU has been paying the wages of thousands of civil servants in Gaza who have not worked for up to six years, according to a critical audit of the bloc's multibillion-euro Palestinian aid program by the European court of auditors. The report will catalogue serious shortcomings in Brussels' management of the EU's flagship direct aid program, which is the Palestinian Authority's biggest source of outside income. Since 2007, the EU has awarded around 2.9 billion euros to projects in the Palestinian territories. Some 1.4 billion euros directly subsidized the wage bill for PA civil servants. While the aid "is intended to support public services for the benefit of the Palestinian population, the payment of non-performing civil servants does not serve this objective," the report states. It recommends the European Commission "undertake a major review" of the system and link the funds to progress in PA reforms. 2013-12-12 00:00:00Full Article
