GEA: overview of voluntarily-returned, unused amount

Peter made this access to documents request to European Parliament

The authority would like to / has responded by postal mail to this request.

Dear Madam, Sir,

The Bureau decision of 17 October 2022 amending the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members of the European Parliament says the following:

"The Bureau ad-hoc Working Group also proposed that the Bureau assess and, if necessary, review the rules on the general expenditure allowance under Chapter 7 of the Implementing Measures, after taking note of the overview of voluntarily-returned, unused amounts prepared after the end of each legislative term by the Parliament’s Directorate-General for Finance. That assessment and any review should be carried out at the latest by the end of the year following the elections to the European Parliament, with a view to any new rules entering into force during the following parliamentary term."

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

- All documents related to an overview of voluntarily-returned, unused amounts from the general expenditure allowance in the previous term (2019-2024)

- All documents related to any assessment and/or review related to the rules on the general expenditure allowance since the 2024 European Parliament elections

Only digital copies are required, please consider the environment by not sending me any physical mail.

I am of course available to clarify my request further if needed.

Sincerely
Peter Teffer
