PURPOSE: presentation by the Commission of the consolidated annual accounts of the European Union for the financial year 2020, as part of the 2020 discharge procedure.
Analysis of the accounts of the EU Institutions: European Parliament
The consolidated annual accounts of the EU provide financial information on the activities of the institutions, agencies and other bodies of the EU from an accrual accounting and budgetary perspective. They are prepared according to the highest available international public sector standards.
The discharge is a Parliament decision that reflects its conclusions at the end of a process, the discharge procedure, on the way the Commission (and other institutions and bodies) has carried out its task of implementing the EU budget.
The decision is based in particular on the European Court of Auditors reports, in particular its annual report, in which the Court provides a Statement of Assurance (DAS) on the legality and regularity of transactions (payments and commitments).
Implementation of the European Parliament’s appropriations for the financial year 2020
The document comprises a series of detailed annexes, the most important concerning the implementation of the budget.
As regards the expenditure of the European Parliament, the table on the financial and budgetary management of this institution stated that the final appropriations amounted to EUR 2 038 745 000, or 18.1% of heading 5 of the Multiannual Financial Framework.
This represented a 2.1 % increase over the 2019 final budget (EUR 1 996 978 262).
Commitments totalled EUR 1 950 750 955, accounting for 95.7% of final appropriations (2019: 98.8%).
Payments totalled EUR 1 590 035 012, or 81.5% of commitments entered into (2019: 86.1%).
Automatic carryovers to financial year 2020 totalled EUR 356 517 981, accounting for 18.3% of the total appropriations committed (2019: 13.9%).
Total revenue entered in the accounts as at 31 December 2020 was EUR 203 449 523 (2019: EUR 207 521 070).
The sum of EUR 17 292 007 (2019: EUR 23 745 738), representing 0.8 % of final appropriations (2019: 1.2 %), was cancelled .
Parliament’s activities in 2020 were marked by:
- the final agreement reached by Parliament on the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027. The MFF is equipped with a budget of EUR 1 074 billion in 2018 prices to address the EU's long-term priorities. It goes together with the Next Generation EU recovery package (NGEU) of EUR 750 billion in grants and loans over the period 2021-2024 to meet the unparalleled socio-economic challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, an overall of 30% of the total expenditure from MFF and NGEU is to target climate-related spending;
- the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in fundamental changes to Parliament’s way of working. As from mid-March 2020, Parliament’s administration went from an occasional teleworking scheme to teleworking being implemented between 70% and 100%, depending on the lockdown measure enforced and on the need of physical presence. New working methods also included the suspension of sessions, remote meetings and voting systems;
- substantial transfers within Parliament’s budget from travel expenses to increased ICT needs;
- the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU (Brexit). The number of Members was reduced from 751 to 705 as from 1 February 2020. For the Liaison Offices, Brexit necessarily changed the situation in the UK. The Bureau decided to maintain Parliament’s presence in the UK through the London Liaison Office, equipping it with a new mandate, while confirming the closure of the Edinburgh Office at the end of 2020;
- the decision to purchase the Wiertz building allowed to complete another step of Parliament’s building strategy. It will further consolidate the real estate of the Parliament, underpin the interconnectivity of the central buildings and further contribute to improved security.

Amendment 1 #
Motion for a resolution Recital C a (new) C a. Whereas the execution of the budget of the European Parliament is in full respect of the principles of efficiency, legality, predictability, economy and avoidance of arbitrariness; whereas the reduction of bureaucracy is also envisaged the freedom of the mandate of the Members of the European Parliament is respected;
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 16. Notes that pursuant to Article 118(9) of the Financial Regulation, Parliament’s internal audit reports are not available to the public once the internal auditor has finalised them
Amendment 100 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 60 a (new) 60 a. Is concerned that out of the 83 Members whose mandate ended in 2020, 72 of whom left due to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, only two returned unused general expenditure allowance funds by the end of that year; calls on Parliament’s administration and Quaestors to assess this figure and consider further measures to improve the general expenditure allowance return rate among Members who leave Parliament;
Amendment 101 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 61 a (new) 61 a. Recalls that current rules on the termination of contract for APAs do not foresee the possibility of a termination by ‘mutual consent’, which would be a way to recognise the special political relation between Members and assistants, where both parties can acknowledge the mutual trust no longer exists, and can benefit from a common solution without undermining the APAs’ social rights; regrets that this request has been included in several Parliament discharge resolutions without receiving a satisfactory response, and expects action to be taken as soon as possible;
Amendment 102 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 61 b (new) 61 b. Reiterates its demand for the APAs to receive the same subsistence allowance as the statutory personnel for their missions to attend the part-sessions in Strasbourg; acknowledges that any change to the legal framework, namely the Bureau decision on 2 October 2017, would require a revision of the applicable rules and thus, instructions the Secretary- General to submit this request for decision to the Bureau;
Amendment 103 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 61 c (new) 61 c. Asks the Bureau to reconsider the possibility for APAs, under certain conditions to be determined, to accompany Members on official Parliament delegations and missions, as already requested by several Members; takes note of the estimated financial impact included in the follow-up to the 2018 discharge resolution and, nevertheless, insists on a new discussion at the level of the Bureau and the Conference of Presidents to examine this request with exceptional nature;
Amendment 104 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 61 d (new) 61 d. Rejects the compulsory appointment of APAs as representatives to deal with the Belgian authorities for the processing of the residence permit of third country trainees in Members' offices; calls for an immediate revision of the applicable rules so that the administration takes over this function;
Amendment 105 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 61 e (new) 61 e. Reiterates its call to remove the possibility of appointing APAs as head of group in order to make the financial responsibility of sponsored visitors’ groups fall exclusively to a member of the group or to professionals, i.e. paying agents or travel agencies;
Amendment 106 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 61 a (new) 61 a. Regrets that no follow-up is given to the long standing request to reconsider the possibility for APAs, under certain conditions to be determined, to accompany Members on official Parliament delegations and missions, as already requested by several discharge resolutions; calls on the Secretary- General to investigate the budgetary consequences, and the organisation and logistics of these missions;
Amendment 107 #

Amendment 111 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 66 66. Notes that creating the permanent possibility for members of staff to telework from anywhere, under conditions to be specified, entails a great number of advantages for both members of staff and institutions including the improvement of staff well-being and increasing Parliament’s attractiveness as an employer, financial savings made through, inter alia, a reduced need for office space, a reduced environmental impact from staff commutes and a closer link between the Union institutions and citizens in Member States other than Belgium, France and Luxembourg; calls on Parliament to enter into an inter-institutional discussion with a view to reviewing the decision obliging staff to telework exclusively from their place of employment in exceptional circumstances, e.g. under the condition of temporarily forfeiting their expat allowance;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 79 a (new) 79 a. highlights that the mopping-up practice has favoured savings of more than EUR 100 million over the last years in interest payments and thus constitutes best practice for the use of taxpayers money in public institutions; encourages the Bureau to identify additional budget lines that could benefit from this practice; notes that this practice has helped prevent the spending of remaining funds for unnecessary expenses at the end of the year; recalls that the “mopping-up transfer” supports the long-term building strategy of Parliament of owning buildings instead of renting them; recalls that the ramassage enabled Parliament to buy the strategically important Scholl building in 2020 and pay the full buying price in one transaction thus avoiding further financing costs

Amendment 146 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 83 a (new) 83 a. Points out the purchase price of the Scholl building, purchased at EUR 74,9 million; underlines that the difference of EUR 10 590 000 between the purchase price (EUR 74 900 000) and the estimation by the external expert (EUR 64 310 000) should be analysed against the situation where Parliament would not have acquired the building; notes that the usufruct contract signed by Parliament in 2009 did not include an exit clause, entailing that Parliament would have in any case had to pay the full amount of due usufruct payments for the remaining contractual period (~ EUR 24 000 000); stresses that if Parliament had not acquired the building, it would have paid in any case the usufruct and in addition would have lost already realised investments; notes that in total this potential loss in case of a non-acquisition amounts to EUR 39 300 000; emphasises that Parliament, by acquiring the Scholl building in 2020, with a price of EUR 74 900 000, has guaranteed the safeguarding of EUR 39 300 000, as well as avoided the future increase of the real estate market value and the risk of losing the building to a potential new undesirable investor in closest proximity; notes that while bearing in mind the calls by the Committee on Budgetary Control for cost-efficiency in real estate transactions, the purchase of the Scholl building seems justified given the financial and strategic explanations;
Amendment 147 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 84 84. Highlights that, in Brussels, some buildings either currently occupied by Parliament or of major strategic interest due to their location and the related security aspects, are not Parliament's property, as was the case with the SCHOLL building before it was acquired by Parliament; notes that Parliament's Building Strategy Beyond 2019 underlines the importance of owning and interconnecting Parliament’s central buildings and mentions TREVES II as a building that is in Parliament’s interest to acquire; notes that while these criteria are important, they should not be the ultima ratio for the purchase of a new building

Amendment 78 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 54 a (new) 54 a. Is concerned that out of the 459 Members of the 8th Parliamentary term that were not re-elected in 2019, Parliament received only one notification on post-mandate employment pursuant to Article 6 of the Code of Conduct; points out that notifications could help to prevent conflicts of interest, while also preventing former Members who engage in professional lobbying or representational activities directly linked to the Union’s decision-making process from benefiting from facilities granted to former Members; calls therefore on Parliament to improve the implementation of the Code of Conduct, in this regard also draws attention to the resolution to the 2019 European Parliament discharge, in which Parliament calls for an independent assessment on whether post- mandate activities of Members create conflicts of interests; calls on Parliament’s services again to conduct such an assessment;

Amendment 89 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 57 a (new) 57 a. Notes with concern the unclear rules and obligations pertaining to retention periods of documents for Members, in particular those concerning personal and financial information as well as staff information; calls on the Bureau to establish clear, comprehensible, and binding rules that duly take into account the number of documents to be stored and their retention method; strongly stresses that rules must be proportionate, do not increase bureaucracy, and are cost adequate; archive activities shall be financed under the general expenditure allowance expenses;
