Paragraph 24 a (new)
24a. Notes that the European Parliament Eurobarometer survey (EB/EP 82.5) shows that during the 2014 electoral campaign 23% of the respondents had a very negative image of the European Parliament, while 43% had a neutral image; points out that media analysis learns that a negative image is often related to financial arrangements for Members, such as allowances, salaries and the budget of the European Parliament in general. Is convinced therefore that structural improvements, for example in full transparency and accounting of the general expenditure allowance, are needed to improve trust and support for the European Parliament;
