Discharge for the 2015 budget – EU decentralised agencies and joint undertakings

During the second April 2017 (April II) plenary session of the European Parliament, MEPs were expected to decide whether to grant discharge for the 2015 financial year to the different institutions and bodies of the European Union (EU).

The debate would start with the report covering the European Commission (plus six executive agencies) which managed the biggest share of the EU general budget.

Following on would be a focus on the decentralised agencies.
The European Parliament was due to vote on recommendations on discharge to the EU agencies and joint undertakings for their implementation of the 2015 budget. The Committee on Budgetary Control proposed to grant them all discharge.
