EU auditors have found the European Union Council spent £100,000 (approx 116.000 Euro) in 2018 on 4,000 bottles of luxury champagne in order to entertain themselves and guests.
According to the documents, EU chiefs spent a further £50,000 (approx 58.000 Euro) on a lavish end of year party, which included a three-course meal and open bar for up to 3,000 staff.
An extravagant ‘team-bonding’ trip to a Belgium theme park totalling £40,000 (46.000 Euro) was also signed off by the EU council.
The EU Parliament signed off its expenditure which included an £85,000 (98.500 Euro) relaxation armchair.
In addition, another £30,000 of public funds were wasted on the theme park trip to southern Belgium.
Meanwhile, a further £15,000 was spent on a shooting range rental.
Brexit Party MEP Michael Heaver hit out at the spending and insisted it was “rubbing the taxpayers’ nose in it”.
Mr Heaver said: “To spend these ridiculous sums on things like champagne, theme park visits and boozy parties really is rubbing the taxpayers’ nose in it.”
