Member States’ national controls serve as the main tool to safeguard the financial interests of the Recovery Union.

Member States shall ensure compliance with Union and national law, including the effective prevention, detection and correction of conflicts of interest, corruption and fraud and double financing. We also recall that, within the framework of the Pnrr, Italy has put in place a robust audit and control system to ensure the protection of the Union’s financial interests‘ the spokesperson continued.
