WRITTEN QUESTION E-0313/99 by Klaus Lukas (NI) to the Commission (19 February 1999) Subject: World Vision Austria We have received information that World Vision Austria has concluded contracts with the Commission to the value of ECU 3,8 million for Phare and Tacis projects in Bosnia, Romania and Mongolia. Have any irregularities - i.e. suspicions of embezzlement and corruption - arisen in connection with these projects? Has the Commission performed audits? Have there been systematic on-the-spot inspections of the work allegedly carried out? If appropriate, were the projects cancelled promptly and repayment of funds demanded? If so, what amount was involved? Was any offence reported to the police? If so, who was the suspect, and why? If not, why not? Did the Austrian Public Prosecutor's Office keep the Commission informed about its investigations into World Vision Austria? When did it do so? What information does the Austrian Public Prosecutor's Office have about EU-funded projects?
