Part 5 of 5: SUGGESTIONS
AddedSUGGESTIONS
AddedThe Committee on Constitutional Affairs:
Added1. Calls for full respect of Parliament's prerogatives and regrets the Council’s continuing refusal to engage in loyal cooperation in the framework of the discharge procedure for more than a decade, which prevents Parliament from taking informed decisions;
Added2. Considers that the lack of cooperation from the European Council and from the Council with the discharge authority sends a negative signal to citizens of the Union;
Added3. Calls on the Council to implement the recommendations adopted by the European Parliament on the budget discharge procedure and to resume negotiations on the memorandum of understanding on the interinstitutional cooperation on that matter;
Added4. Recalls its powers and prerogatives in the annual budgetary procedure; insists on the full application of article 14 (1) TEU and calls on the revision of Article 319 TFEU to empower the European Parliament explicitly to grant discharge to all institutions and bodies individually, as reflected in its resolution of 22 November 2023 on proposals for the amendment of the Treaties;
Added5. Reiterates that the budget of the European Council and of the Council should be divided into two separate budgets, as recommended by Parliament in its recent discharge resolutions, in order to improve transparency, expenditure efficiency and accountability of each institution;
Added6. Reiterates that the Council decision (EU) 2023/2061 of 22 September 2023 on the composition of the European Parliament is without prejudice to the prerogatives of the European Parliament and the Council in the annual budgetary procedure and Recital 5 of that decision concerns matters that do not fall within the scope of the European Council's competences under Article 15(1) TEU and the legal basis for the establishment of the composition of the European Parliament according to Article 14(2) TEU; insists that is for the European Parliament and the Council alone to decide on the content of the Union's budget in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 314 TFEU.
Added7. Stresses that, while the current situation could be improved through better interinstitutional cooperation within the framework of the Treaties, the next revision of the Treaties should render the discharge procedure clearer and more transparent.
