      Audit team                                        02
      The ECA’s special reports set out the results of its performance and compliance audits of specific budgetary areas or 
      management topics. The ECA selects and designs these audit tasks to be of maximum impact by considering the risks 
      to performance or compliance, the level of income or spending involved, forthcoming developments and political and 
      public interest.
      This performance audit was produced by Audit Chamber II — headed by ECA Member Henri Grethen — which specialises 
      in structural policies, transport and energy spending areas. The audit was led by ECA Member Ladislav Balko, supported by 
      the Head of his private office, Branislav Urbanic and Zuzana Frankova, Attaché; Pietro Puricella, Principal Manager; Fernando 
      Pascual Gil, Head of Task; Kurt Bungartz, Aleksandra Klis-Lemieszonek, Nils Odins, Jelena Magermane and Di Hai, auditors.
