MEPs approved the European Commission’s management of the 2024 EU budget with 389 votes to 255, while urging stronger rule‑of‑law safeguards and greater transparency for the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The plenary also granted discharge to all EU bodies except the Council, whose discharge was postponed due to a lack of cooperation. MEPs highlighted a drop in the error rate for EU payments—from 5.6% in 2023 to 3.6% in 2024—but warned the decline may be linked to reduced COVID‑19 spending and lower overall implementation. MEPs demanded a machine‑readable list of RRF final recipients by 31 December, threatening legal action if the Commission does not comply. The resolution also called for the Commission to use full conditionality tools to protect funds against misuse.
