Rejected petition No 'Brexit bill' without audited accounts.
Rejected on
The EU accounts have not been certified by the Court of Auditors for years, how can we know what the correct figure should be, should we pay a 'Brexit bill'.
We call upon the government to refuse to discuss any payment for Brexit until the EU produces properly audited accounts.
No "Brexit bill" without audited accounts.
The EU claims that the UK should pay a "Brexit bill" for leaving and has mentioned up to EUR 60bn as being due for ongoing liabilities. However, since the EU accounts have not been certified by the Court of Auditors for years, how can we know know what a correct figure should be.
We call upon the government to refuse to discuss any payment for Brexit until the EU produces properly audited accounts.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The EU accounts have been signed off by the auditors every year since 2007, so we're not sure what action you'd like the Government to take.
