Highlights - Discharge 2024 (Commission and EU Agencies): Consideration of Draft Reports - Committee on Budgetary Control
The Committee on Budgetary Control considered the draft reports on the financial year 2024 discharge to the European Commission and EU Agencies on 5 February 2026. The draft reports were presented by the respective Rapporteurs, emphasising what they considered to be the main points for the 2024 discharge cycle.The discharge procedure is the Parliament's final approval of how the EU budget for a specific year has been implemented. In the draft reports presented during the meeting, the CONT Committee scrutinises how the Commission and EU Agencies are implementing the EU budget and prepares the Parliament's discharge decisions. Parliament considers the reports prepared by the Budgetary Control Committee, taking into account the Council's recommendations, and decides to grant, postpone or refuse a discharge.
