The report reveals the alarming slowness and inefficiency with which EU funds are allocated to projects by
some regional authorities.

The grave concerns about the inadequate use of European funds by local authorities have frequently been
echoed by the Commission.

Bearing in mind that some local authorities, such as the municipality of Pistoia, urgently need to use
European funds for the integration of disabled people through sport,

can the Commission state:

1. whether the municipality of Pistoia has submitted projects for the Sport for the Disabled programme?

2. whether the municipality of Pistoia has secured funding for these projects?

3. whether this funding has been used?
