2013 Discharge: EU general budget (Council & European Council)

This procedure concerns the 'discharge' of the budget, which is the final approval of how the Council and the European Council spent the EU's general budget for the year 2013. It serves as a formal check to ensure that public funds were managed correctly and according to the law.

This affects the administrative operations of the Council and European Council. A positive discharge confirms that the financial management was satisfactory, while a refusal would signal serious irregularities in spending.
