In a series of votes on Wednesday, MEPs will decide whether to approve the way the Commission and other EU institutions managed the EU budget in 2024. The Budgetary Control Committee recommends granting discharge to the European Commission − responsible for managing most EU expenditure − but demands stronger rule of law safeguards and more transparency.

WHERE? Daphne Caruana Galizia press conference room, European Parliament, Strasbourg, WEISS N-1/201
