> Bonjour à tous,

> Open Knowledge a publié il y a quelques jours un guide sur les fonds
> européens et les sources de données correspondantes. *Voir message de
> Jonathan Gray ci-dessous.*
>
> J'ai eu le plaisir de participer à ce rapport, en collaboration avec
> Elisabeth Druel, et j'espère qu'il vous sera utile dans votre compréhension
> et votre exploration des données budgétaires pour l'Union Européenne.
>
> Enfin, ce guide a vocation à devenir une ressource participative. Tout le
> contenu (rapport, dataviz, jeux de données) est ainsi publié sur github et
> éditable par tous.

> JUST RELEASED: “WHERE DOES EUROPE’S MONEY GO? A GUIDE TO EU BUDGET DATA
> SOURCES”
>
> The EU has committed to spending *€959,988 billion* between 2014 and
> 2020. This money is disbursed through over *80 funds and programmes* that
> are managed by over *100 different authorities*. Where does this money
> come from? How is it allocated? And how is it spent?
>
> Today we are delighted to announce the release of *“Where Does Europe’s
> Money Go? A Guide to EU Budget Data Sources”
> <http://community.openspending.org/resources/eu/>*, which aims to help
> civil society groups, journalists and others to navigate the vast landscape
> of documents and datasets in order to “follow the money” in the EU. The
> guide also suggests steps that institutions should take in order to enable
> greater democratic oversight of EU public finances. It was undertaken by
> Open Knowledge with support from the Adessium Foundation
> <http://www.adessium.org/mission/>.

>     version.
>    - <http://community.openspending.org/resources/eu/>Read online
>    <http://community.openspending.org/resources/eu/> on the OpenSpending
>    website.
>    - Explore our spreadsheet
>    <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1tkKxRlkW60-ylxdvxGkMlMq8BS4SRPR4QoEd72qgFwQ/pubhtml> of
>    different EU funds.
>
> As we have seen from projects like Farm Subsidy
> <http://datajournalismhandbook.org/1.0/en/getting_data_2.html> and journalistic
> collaborations around the EU Structural Funds
> <http://datajournalismhandbook.org/1.0/en/case_studies_1.html> it can be
> very difficult and time-consuming to put together all of the different
> pieces needed to understand flows of EU money.
>
> Groups of journalists on these projects have spent many months requesting,
> scraping, cleaning and assembling data to get an overview of just a handful
> of the many different funds and programmes through which EU money is spent.
> The analysis of this data has led to many dozens of news stories
> <http://farmsubsidy.openspending.org/news/media/>, and in some cases even criminal
> investigations <http://eutransparency.org/a-family-affair/>.
>
> Better data, documentation, advocacy and journalism around EU public money
> is vital to addressing the “democratic deficit” in EU fiscal policy. To
> this end, we make the following recommendations to EU institutions and
> civil society organisations:
>
>    1. *Establish a single central point of reference* for data and
>    documents about EU revenue, budgeting and expenditure and ensure all the
>    information is up to date at this domain (e.g. at a website such as
>    ec.europa.eu/budget). At the same time, ensure all EU budget data are
>    available from the EU open data portal as open data.
>    2. *Create an open dataset with key details about each EU fund*,
>    including name of the fund, heading, policy, type of management,
>    implementing authorities, link to information on beneficiaries, link to
>    legal basis in Eur-Lex and link to regulation in Eur-Lex.
>    3. *Extend the Financial Transparency System to all EU funds* by
>    integrating or federating detailed data expenditures from Members States,
>    non-EU Members and international organisations. Data on beneficiaries
>    should include, when relevant, a unique European identifier of company, and
>    when the project is co-financed, the exact amount of EU funding received
>    and the total amount of the project.
>    4. *Clarify and harmonise the legal framework regarding transparency
>    rules* for the beneficiaries of EU funds.
>    5. *Support and strengthen funding for civil society groups and
>    journalists* working on EU public finances.
>    6. *Conduct a more detailed assessment of beneficiary data
>    availability* for all EU funds and for all implementing authorities –
>    e.g., through a dedicated “open data audit”.
>    7. *Build a stronger central base of evidence about the uses and users
>    of EU fiscal data* – including data projects, investigative journalism
>    projects and data users in the media and civil society.
>
> Our intention is that the material in this report will become a living
> resource that we can continue to expand and update. If you have any
> comments or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you
> <https://discuss.okfn.org/c/openspending>.

> If you are interested in learning more about Open Knowledge’s other
> initiatives around open data and financial transparency you can explore the Where
