Brussels, 15/05/2014 (Agence Europe) - The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) has been described as “an expensive utopia” by French association Observatoire des Subventions, which fights for transparency in the use of public money in France and Europe.
The organisation calls the UfM pointless, pointing out that as is seen with other international bodies, there has been a mushrooming of assemblies, offices and committees.
The monitoring centre says that governments are not immune from costly, pretentious, inefficient and even dangerous set ups, and in fact, they tend to churn them out. The organisation is keen to point out that there is no problem with the aims, but they are unlikely to be achieved, and if they were, it would be at a very high price. (FB)
