NON LEGISLATIVE ACT: Decision (EU) 2015/1669 of the European Parliament on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security for the financial year 2013. 

CONTENT: with the present decision, the European Parliament grants discharge to the Executive Director of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security for the implementation of its budget for the financial year 2013.

This decision is in line with the European Parliament's resolution adopted on 29 April 2015 and comprises a series of observations that form an integral part of the discharge decision (please refer to the summary of the opinion of 29 April 2015).
