From 2016 to 2021, the Prime Minister spent 4.2 million Danish kroner on hotel and transportation expenses related to the Prime Minister’s participation in EU summits.
The funds, which should have been repaid according to EU rules, were paid from the treasury and should have been recovered by Denmark. However, this did not happen due to an error, according to a press release from the Prime Minister's office.
The Foreign Office checked whether the millions could be recovered retroactively, but the European Union declared that this was not possible because the accounts of the past five years had been closed.
ووفقاً لهيلين ماي فيبهولت رئيسة قسم التنظيم والخدمات في مكتب رئاسة الوزراء بحسب البيان: “هذا خطأ إداري مؤسف للغاية، ما يعني أنهم لعدة سنوات لم يتقدموا بطلب للحصول على السداد الذي كانوا مستحقين له. تم الآن إدخال ممارسة إدارية جديدة لضمان طلب السداد لكل من وسائل النقل والفنادق عن جميع الرحلات إلى قمم الاتحاد الأوروبي التي تكتمل أو ستنتهي في عام 2022 وما بعده”.
From 2016 until June 2019, Lars Løkke Rasmussen was Prime Minister of Denmark, before being succeeded by Mette Frederiksen.
