We express our gratitude to all those who work to save lives and fight the pandemic, in Luxembourg, in the EU and around the world and our support for those affected and their families. We also call on everyone to follow the instructions of health and safety authorities.

The European Court of Auditors (ECA) is committed to support the Luxembourgish government’s policy in safeguarding public health. We are mitigating the effects of the ongoing health crisis on our staff and have taken precautionary measures to minimise to the extent possible the risk for them and their families.

At the same time, we have taken the necessary steps to be able to continue providing an effective public audit service in the EU and deliver timely audit reports, opinions and reviews, as far as this is possible in the given circumstances. We have carried out a thorough analysis of the impact the current COVID-19 pandemic has on our work processes and products. As a result of this analysis, we have resumed our publications as of mid-April 2020 under a modified schedule.
