    On 17 and 20 November 2025, the Committee on Budgetary Control held hearings for the 2024 Commission discharge related to the implementation of the EU Budget, with two Commissioners invited.

    The hearings concerned the following topics and Commissioners:
    • 17 November: Migration and border management (MFF Heading 4), with Magnus Brunner, Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, in the presence of ECA reporting Member, Marek Opioła.
    • 20 November: Natural resources and environment (MFF Heading 3), with Christophe Hansen, Commissioner for Agriculture and Food, in the presence of ECA reporting member Klaus- Heiner Lehne.
    These hearings are an important step in the discharge procedure for the financial year 2024, where the Commission's budget implementation, policies and activities in 2024 are evaluated, culminating in the political decision whether to grant discharge to the Commission for the financial year 2024 or not. The European Court of Auditors gave a presentation of their audit findings in each hearing, after which the Commissioner gave an opening statement, followed by a Q&A session with the Members of the Committee.
