Bija gods tikties ar GAO vadības pārstāvjiem, pārrunājot prioritātes un sadarbības iespējas. Notika arī vērtīgas diskusijas ar GAO auditoriem un ASV Finanšu ministrijas pārstāvjiem.

Paldies Latvijas vēstniecei ASV Elitai Kuzmai par viesmīlību, un kolēģiem – par ieguldīto darbu!

Delighted to have participated at the INTOSAI Working group meeting on financial&economic stability. I presented our European Court of Auditors audit report on strengthening cross-border pension solutions and pan european pension product. Impressed by strong engagement and high quality contributions by colleagues from around the world. Thanks to U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) colleagues for excellent organisation!

My pleasure to have met Acting Comptroller General of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), Ms Orice Williams Brown and members of her team. We exchanged about strategic priorities and challenges of ECA and US GAO as well as discussed specific audit topics of interest for both institutions. I am sure our relevant audit teams will be in touch.

Me and our European Court of Auditors audit team also had a rich exchange with several colleagues from US GAO department in charge of auditing of supervisors of financial sector.

Besides, I re-connected with colleagues from US Treasury Department to exchange on the state of play in implementation of restrictive trade measures by the US and EU authorities.

Finally, thanks to H.E. Ambassador of Latvia to the USA Elita Kuzma and her colleagues for hospitality, warm welcome and a very interesting conversation!

Thanks to my colleagues for all the work to prepare these meetings!

Šonedēļ kopā ar kolēģiem uzņēmu Marcu Lemētru, Eiropas Komisijas Pētniecības un inovācijas ģenerāldirektorāta (DG RTD) ģenerāldirektoru European Commission.

Pārrunājām finanšu, atbilstības un lietderības revīzijas viņa atbildības jomās, jo īpaši programmās Apvārsnis Eiropa un Apvārsnis 2020, ar pētniecību saistītos daudzgadu finanšu shēmas ticamības apliecinājumu aspektus, kā arī vairākas snieguma revīzijas, tostarp par EIC fonda efektivitāti un lietderību.

Building upon our previous meetings with Commissioner Екатерина Захариева, this week me and my colleagues welcomed Marc Lemaître, Director‑General of the DG RTD at the European Commission responsible for Research and Innovation.

We discussed financial, compliance and performance audits in his fields of responsibility, notably Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020, research‑related aspects of the Statements of Assurance under the MFF, and several performance audits, such as the one dealing with efficiency and effectiveness of the EIC Fund.

✅ European Court of Auditors ziņojums rāda, ka, neraugoties uz ievērojamiem centieniem, uzņēmumiem joprojām ir jāpārvar būtiski šķēršļi, sniedzot pakalpojumus pāri robežām. Tas kavē ES pilnībā izmantot Iekšējā tirgus potenciālu.

🔍 Galvenie secinājumi:
▫️ Tikai aptuveni 20% pakalpojumu tiek sniegti pārrobežu režīmā.
▫️ Gandrīz 60% šķēršļu, kas identificēti pirms vairāk nekā 20 gadiem, joprojām pastāv.
▫️ ES rīcība šo ilggadējo problēmu risināšanā ir par vāju, lai panāktu būtisku progresu.

The Single Market for Services in the EU is still very much in the making and lagging behind deadlines fixed over the years - this is the main conclusion of our European Court of Auditors recent report.

We expose that, despite significant efforts, businesses still encounter major hurdles when trying to provide services across borders. As a result, the EU is still far from tapping into the full potential of its Internal Market.

🔍 Key insights:
▫️ Only about 20% of services in the EU are offered cross‑border.
▫️ Nearly 60% of the barriers identified more than twenty years ago are still in place.
▫️ EU action to remove these long-standing obstacles has not been sufficient to deliver meaningful progress.
