It's good to see that the EU is finally clamping down on fraud!! It has rejected UK requests for £600m of compensation to farmers in the UK who suffered following the Foot and Mouth outbreak in 2001 saying that some claims may be overinflated or even spurious.
Unfortunately, this now means that the UK taxpayer will have to pick up the tab for these overinflated and spurious claims. If the EU aren't prepared to pay them, why should the UK government? Is the EU trying to recover the UK rebate covertly since the British Government always says "Non"? Finally, if the EU is not prepared to pay "dodgy" claims, should the UK continue to fund an organisation whose accounts have been qualified for the last nine years?
