Budget discharge

25th - 29th January 2010 - Brussels

The parliament will begin the process of discharging the EU's 2008 budget, which received a qualified statement of assurance from the Court of Auditors late last year. The committee will investigate the commission, parliament and EU agencies this week, with exchanges of views with commissioners Potocnik, Tajani, Ferrero-Waldner, Kallas and Semeta. ECR budgetary control coordinator Ryszard Czarnecki is the parliament's rapporteur on the discharge of the more contentious Council of Ministers' budget.

Discharge hearings: Monday @ 15.30

Welcome to the website of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group in the European Parliament.

In July 2009, the ECR was formed by eight political parties who share the common goals of opposition to Euro-federalism and of fundamental reform of the European Union to make it more accountable, transparent and responsive to the needs of the people.

This website is intended to provide you with information about our work and our political priorities, and to provide you with an opportunity to let us know your views.
