Financing of the area of the environment from European Union support

The purpose of the audit is to ascertain whether the state has prepared for the significant decrease in European Union (EU) support in order to guarantee the performance of the state’s functions when the support from the EU cohesion policy funds decreases.
In the course of the audit, the National Audit Office will analyse whether the Ministry of the Environment has taken a position in the following issues: which activities supporting the environment that are currently financed from EU support must continue also in the next budgetary period of the EU; will the need for financing change and how; from which source will the activities be financed and what will be the impact of the end of the activities or a significant decrease in funding on the provision of public services and the achievement of environmental goals.
