Recital 17
(17) Assistance should continue to make use of the structures and instruments that have proved their worth in the pre- accession process. The transition from direct management of pre-accession funds by the Commission to decentralised management delegated to the beneficiary countries should be progressive and in line with each beneficiary country's capacities. In order to fight corruption, transparency, good management, prevention of misconduct, compliance and monitoring, accountability and control should be increased and stronger auditing measures should be adopted during this process.
