The working paper presents in detail the answers to 350 specific requests made by the European Parliament in its Resolution forming an integral part of its Decisions on the 2014 Discharge.

Most of these requests were classified according to the following chapters:

  • Commission commitments with regard to discharge priorities;
  • the Court's statement of assurance;
  • general budgetary and financial management;
  • budgetary performance;
  • evaluation and analysis of the main results of 2014 Union budget: (i) competitiveness for growth and jobs; (ii) economic, social and territorial cohesion; (iii) natural resources; (iv) global Europe; (v) administration (including the agencies).

For each of these chapters, the Commission responds point by point to the requests of the European Parliament and proposes a framework of appropriate measures, if necessary.
