It's different than "welfare fraud", as there are people who really need welfare, while if there was a business that would be profitable without government grant, it would already exist. So grants like this by definition support fraud or otherwise uneconomical businesses.
Here, have an example, check-out famous: "the world of cats": http://swiatkotow.pl/ http://swiatkotow.pl/ (see UE logo at the bottom) .
Government page about the grant: http://www.web.gov.pl/bazy-wiedzy/4_32_135_1353_swiat-kotow-platforma-e-uslug-dla-hodowcow-i-wlascicieli-kotow.html http://www.web.gov.pl/bazy-wiedzy/4_32_135_1353_swiat-kotow-... . Total UE grant: 790 600,00 PLN ($210k) .
I was talking personally with people who had projects using this scheme. I know countless examples. There were whole web pages tracking the stupidest and most daring grants.
