This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about any payment that the UK might make when it leaves the EU, but we're not sure exactly what action you'd like to see. In particular, we're not sure what you mean by "independently verified Accounts & itemised Bill". The European Court of Auditors audits the revenue and expenditure of the EU budget every year.

You can find out more about the auditing activities of the ECA in 2016 here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
