As for your counter-question, I have no idea. I presume that, by your wording, you can advise me.

Can you tell me then how the "books " (whatever that means) can accurately to the last euro be accountable for changes in changes in currency values, different national debt, different budgets and the balances they may or may not contain, changes in for example agricultural subsidies that include a certain sum for every animal alive at the start of the year but which has either move or died? Every ton of grain that either is nt harvested die to weather or some catastrophe?
The idea of considering the financial functioning of 28 countries as if it is a small grocers' is impractical.

and if countries like the UK can't "sign off" their books how can the EU do it accurately? How do you know that what is announced in the UK budget is properly spent , underspent or overspent and yet expect perfection from 28 countries?

True although I've always said its a protection racket. Whatever the truth it's rather unsavoury to say the least.

You didn't answer my question.
When were the UK books signed off?

Go on...do some research of your own.

Re: The kinnocks

Is this a competition ? Who signed off last ? Neither sound very good to me but that doesn't mean we have to chose a winner. Let's get out of one club then we can look at what we need to do inthis country to prepare for the future. Might start with a few changes at the top !
