This decision grants the Secretary-General of the Committee of the Regions discharge for the implementation of its budget for the financial year 2023. It confirms that the Committee's accounts are reliable and its transactions are legal and regular.

The Committee of the Regions, a political assembly representing local and regional authorities across the EU, is affected by this decision. Its budget is part of the EU's general budget, and its financial management is subject to scrutiny.

The decision notes the Committee's high budget execution rates in 2023, indicating good financial management. However, it also points to an increase in payments for members' travel and meeting expenses, urging a cost-efficiency strategy.

The report highlights the Committee's efforts in digitalization, sustainability, and interinstitutional cooperation, while also calling for continued focus on gender balance in leadership and addressing burnout among staff.
