Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): KUHS Joachim (ID)

Summary

This file is the 2019 discharge on the general budget of the EU relating to the European Commission, handled under the discharge procedure in which Parliament decides whether to sign off on how an EU body executed its budget. It was examined by numerous committees including Budgetary Control, Foreign Affairs, Employment and Social Affairs, and Regional Development, in the area of the 2019 discharge. The tabled amendments scrutinise error rates flagged by the European Court of Auditors across headings, cohesion and social spending under the European Social Fund and FEAD, outstanding commitments, external assistance instruments including the trust funds, the Facility for Refugees in Turkey, EU funding relating to Belarus, and OLAF investigations. They call for greater visibility, transparency and accountability in EU spending.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
