Mechanism to hold MEPs expenses accountable

The request was successful.

Victoria Anderica

Dear European Parliament,

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:

I would like to know what the mechanism is by which the money spent by MEPs on General Expenditure Allowance, Parliamentary Assistance Allowance and Daily Attendance Allowance, is accounted for.
More specifically I would like to know which body is responsible for overseeing the receipts and other proof or justification of expenditure.

Yours faithfully,

Victoria Anderica

Parliament" and its "Implementing Measures".

The competent administrative body for implementation within the European
