1997 discharge: follow-up. Report

The European Parliament adopted the resolution by Louisewies van der LAAN (ELDR, Nl), in which it welcomes, on balance, the steps taken by the Commission to tackle the problems highlighted by Parliament in the 1997 discharge resolution. (Please refer to the decision of the committee responsible as it mirrors what the House adopted). In addition, the Parliament adopted an additional amendment tabled by the EPP/ED Group, calling for the Commission to accept that Parliament as the discharge authority must have at least as much access to Commission documents as the Court of Auditors. �
