The European Public Prosecutor's Office accused two former Greek ministers of enabling a fraudulent scheme that exploited the EU's agricultural funding, costing Greece €400 million in penalties. This incident underscores a significant flaw in EU policy frameworks, focusing on appearance over outcome. Similarly, the Nutri-Score system for nutritional labeling, which aims to combat obesity, is revealing itself to be ineffective in practice, failing to achieve the intended health outcomes, thus mirroring the issues seen with the Greek subsidy program.
The Nutri-Score system is designed to simplify nutritional information, but its real-world effectiveness is being questioned as it fails to produce measurable benefits.
The case of the Greek agricultural funds reflects a deeper institutional flaw, illustrating the issues stemming from a policy designed more for appearance than for efficacy.
