2011 Discharge: EU General Budget, European Council and Council

This procedure concerns the European Parliament's decision on whether to grant discharge to the European Council and the Council concerning the implementation of the EU general budget for the financial year 2011. Discharge is a key parliamentary scrutiny process.

It affects the accountability of these institutions for their management of EU funds. The decision is based on reports from the Court of Auditors and the Council's own reports on budget implementation.
