This procedure concerns the 'discharge' process, which is the final approval of how the EU budget was spent. Specifically, it examines whether the Council and the European Council managed their allocated funds for the 2015 financial year according to the law and established rules.

This affects the accountability of the EU's executive bodies. A positive discharge confirms that the budget was managed correctly, while a refusal would signal serious financial mismanagement.
