The European Parliament will examine the European Commission’s sizeable expenditure on big consultancy firms, recently revealed by EURACTIV.com, and propose a different approach to limit their influence in structural reforms, the chair of the Parliament’s budgetary control committee has said.
Between 2016 and 2019 alone, the Commission spent more than €462 million in PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY, known as the ‘Big Four’. The EU executive also signed various multi-million deals with other firms, including McKinsey and Accenture.
“We are going to look into how much money is given to the ‘Big Four’, but also to big companies and big NGOs,” the Parliament’s Monika Hohlmeier told Euractiv.
