A fully automated system is needed to improve the detection of misuse of the SME portfolio. Between 2011 and January 2019 a total of more than 4.6 million euros of unlawful subsidies had to be repaid. Flemish minister Hilde Crevits is now cutting back on subsidies, which still amount to a total of 40 million euros. Crevits also promises "extra measures so that not every training can be subsidised".
