AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted a resolution on control, transparency and traceability of performance-based instruments, which link EU payments to results rather than to reimbursed costs.

The text calls for stronger oversight of such instruments, including harmonised methodologies, interoperable data systems, robust audit trails and clear correction criteria.

Parliament urges the Commission to expand transparency tools, ensure full traceability of beneficiaries and strengthen safeguards for financial instruments.

It also insists on a greater role for Parliament in the governance of these instruments.
