Citizens now enjoy direct access to clear information on the use of EU funds.

The EU launched an easy-to-use information service during 2008 to allow the public to see clearly how EU funds are spent. This web-based database gives direct access for the first time ever to information about the organisations that benefit from EU money.

The system covers all the funds managed directly by the Commission. Based on data from the EU accounts, it provides an overview of the previous financial year. More than 28 000 entries give details on Commission-run programmes in areas such as research, education and culture, energy and transport, as well as on aid provided to non-EU countries. It allows users to analyse and compare information on who gets what.

The service is part of the European Commission’s campaign to ensure transparency and accountability. In parallel, the governments of all the EU countries have agreed to publish information on their websites on payments they have made under the policies they run on behalf of the EU, such as agricultural policy and regional and social development, which make up more than 80 % of the EU budget.

Pilsoņi tagad var tieši piekļūt saprotamai informācijai par ES fondu izlietojumu.

2008. gadā sāka darboties viegli izmantojams ES informācijas pakalpojums, kas ļauj sabiedrībai gūt skaidru priekšstatu par to, kā tiek izlietoti ES fondi. Šī uz tīmekli balstītā datu bāze pirmo reizi vēsturē ļauj tieši piekļūt informācijai par organizācijām, kas gūst labumu no ES līdzekļiem.

Sistēmā ir ziņas par visiem fondiem, ko tieši pārvalda Komisija. Pamatojoties uz ES grāmatvedības datiem, tā sniedz pārskatu par iepriekšējo finanšu gadu. Vairāk nekā 28 000 ierakstu sniedz informāciju par Komisijas pārvaldītajām programmām tādās jomās kā pētniecība, izglītība un kultūra, enerģētika un transports, kā arī par palīdzību, kas tiek nodrošināta valstīm ārpus ES. Tā ļauj lietotajiem analizēt un salīdzināt informāciju par to, kurš un kādu atbalstu saņem.

Šis pakalpojums ir daļa no Eiropas Komisijas kampaņas pārskatāmības un uzskaitāmības nodrošināšanai. Līdztekus tam visu ES dalībvalstu valdības ir piekritušas savās tīmekļa vietnēs publicēt informāciju par maksājumiem, ko tās veikušas atbilstoši politikas jomām, ko tās pārvalda ES vārdā, piemēram, lauksaimniecības un reģionālās un sociālās attīstības politikai, kurai atvēlēts vairāk nekā 80% ES budžeta.

Bio

Dear Client,

I am here to help you with:

-          Your localisation project

Making the text natural and readable in Latvian, respecting your placeholders, layouts, character limits, conveying the voice and tone of your product and transcreating your catchy headlines.

-          Your EU-related text

Years as a freelance interpreter for the EU institutions enabled me to gain hands-on experience with EU-related content and learn to be accurate and aware of the EU bodies involved, the locations, the legislative process and its stages, and the approved terminology.

-          Your surveys 

Translation, revision and back translation of opinion polls and market research surveys; adjudication projects with other linguists and local institutes.

-          Your interpreting needs

Simultaneous and consecutive interpretation in Latvia and abroad. Contacts of other interpreters for creating teams. Please see my Interpreter’s profile for more details.


About me:

Translating since 2006 and interpreting since 2009.

An accredited EU ACI up to this day.

A member of three localisation teams working with:

*the app- and web content of a global peer-to-peer transportation services provider

*the online marketing content of a global, cutting-edge information technologies brand

*the online content of a global hospitality services broker


An excellent level of English, gute passive Kenntnisse der deutschen Sprache et niveau A2 de français. Мы можем общаться на русском.

Due to an unexpected life turn several years ago I got into swimming and am happily proficient in swimming terminology.

If you need more information, feel free to contact me and request my CV.
