FollowTheMoney.eu aims to make it easier for European citizens to understand the EU budget: how it gets decided, where the money comes from and how it is spent. FollowTheMoney.eu comes from the same people that brought you farmsubsidy.org: journalists, researchers and activists who want to make the European Union work in a more transparent and accountable way.

We hope that FollowTheMoney.eu will build on the work of farmsubsidy.org in bringing to an end the secrecy of who gets what in EU farm subsidies, for example by applying the same approach to other areas of the budget like fisheries, structural and cohesion policy and development assistance. We hope it will complement the many media and civil society initiatives on the EU budget that are already out there.

Contributions from UEF activists are welcome. Please contact: Jan Seifert (j.j.seifert(at)lse.ac.uk)
