INTRODUCTION








1.


The following report analyses Parliament’s budgetary and financial management for the financial year 2024. It outlines the use made of financial resources and the events, which had a significant influence on activities throughout the year. The report has been drawn up in accordance with Article 255 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Financial Regulation’. The analysis is based on the provisional accounts established by the Accounting Officer.












2.


In 2024, the overall geopolitical situation remained strongly impacted by existing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.












3.


Inflation in the euro area, which was reduced to 5,4 % for the year 2023, continued to decelerate to an annual inflation rate of 2,4 % for the year 2024 as published by Eurostat (Euro indicators) on 17 January 2025 (2).












4.


On 16 July, the 10th legislative term began, following the elections which took place between 6 June and 9 June in the 27 Member States. During the transition to the new parliamentary term, Parliament’s responsible services provided optimal support to both departing and newly elected Members, Accredited Parliamentary Assistants (APAs) and other staff.












5.


In 2024, Parliament received a budget allocation of EUR 2 383 million, corresponding to a 6,05 % increase over 2023, thus representing 20,24 % of Heading 7 of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). 2024 marked the fourth year of the current MFF 2021-2027.












6.


In 2024, Parliament committed EUR 2 375 million of its allocated budget, made payments for EUR 2 038 million (85,8 % of the amount committed) and carried over EUR 336,7 million (14,2 % of the amount committed) to 2025. In 2024, there were no non-automatic carryovers to 2025.




I.   OVERVIEW OF PARLIAMENT’S ACTIVITIES IN 2024

European Parliament elections









7.


The European elections in June split 2024 in two halves for the Parliament: the first focused on adopting legislation, the second on starting up a new parliamentary term.












8.


50,74 % of eligible EU citizens participated in the elections, which is slightly higher than the last election in 2019. Parliament’s election and information campaign contributed to this positive development.












9.


Parliament saw intensified legislative work before the end of the legislative term, with 48 legislative acts signed by the Parliament’s President versus 15 in 2023 in the same period. In total, 146 acts were signed in 2024 versus 77 in 2023.












10.


The 10th legislature of the European Parliament was constituted on 16 July 2024. The percentage of new Members lays with 50,5 % substantially below the past term and the assumed 60 % on which basis Parliament’s 2024 budget had been established.












11.


The new Parliament is composed of eight political groups - one more than the previous legislature.












12.


On 11 September 2023, the Bureau amended the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members of the European Parliament with effect from 16 July 2024. These modifications aim to provide additional security and legal coherence, flexibility and simplification and a reduction of the financial risk for Parliament.





Parliament as EU independent body









13.


Following the recommendations of the Working Group ‘Parliament 2024’, the Conference of Presidents (CoP) adopted a package of reform measures on 7 December 2023, approved subsequently by the Plenary in April 2024, covering legislation, scrutiny, budgetary functions and control, plenary, and external relations. The reform proposals aim to improve the functioning of Parliament as a co-legislator, as an arm of the budgetary authority, and as a discharge authority.












14.


Against this background, the Bureau decided in September 2024 to create four Directorates-General, responsible for legislative, scrutiny, and budgetary activities, from the existing Directorate-General for Internal Policies (DG IPOL). Additionally, it was decided to move the current Directorate for Legislative and Committee Coordination to the responsible Deputy Secretary-General to ensure better coordination among the new entities.





Parliament’s attractiveness









15.


In 2024, Directorate-General for Personnel (DG PERS) published four nationality-specific competitions (Dutch, Austrian, Luxembourgish and Cypriot), based on the General Implementing Provisions adopted by the Bureau at the end of 2022, with a view to addressing the geographical imbalance of the Parliament’s workforce.












16.


As part of the Attractiveness of the Luxembourg Site Program, the most notable achievement was the negotiation and adoption by the Bureau at the end of 2024 of a common inter-institutional decision on a housing allowance for lower-grade staff living and working in Luxembourg. This housing allowance will be paid as of 2025.





Digital transformation and cybersecurity









17.


The Cybersecurity Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2023/2841 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) entered into force in January 2024, laying down measures for a high common level of cybersecurity in European Institutions and introducing a number of mandatory requirements for all Union entities.












18.


In order to strengthen the cyber defence capabilities of Parliament, positions for ‘ICT security specialists’ continued to be filled in 2024, totalling nearly 40 over the past two years.












19.


A governance framework for Artificial Intelligence (Al) was adopted by the Bureau on 11 March 2024, including among others a thorough risk assessment with the use of new technologies. In the same time, the European ‘AI Act’ (4) entered into force on 1 August 2024, the provisions of which will be applicable from 2025 onwards.





Buildings









20.


The situation as regards the major building projects in 2024 is as follows:






—


In Luxembourg, the West Wing of the ADENAUER II building was completed, bringing all Parliament staff and services under the same roof.










—


In Strasbourg:






—


Works to improve accessibility, safety, and technical equipment in the Strasbourg Chamber started in 2024, and will be carried out gradually until 2026, in order to minimise disruptions to the normal use of the space.










—


The fit-out works of the VEIL building which started on 8 January 2024 were carried out as planned, with floors being completed by the end of October 2024.










—


A new security and visitors’ reception pavilion at the WEISS building was completed on time to welcome the new legislature in July 2024.














—


In Brussels:






—


The renovation proposal for SPAAK building and the implementation plan were approved on 11 December 2023 by the Bureau and on 14 February 2024 by the Committee on Budgets. Given the restrictive budgetary situation, the authorising officer may make use of Article 272(6) of the Financial Regulation providing for contracting loans for structural building renovation projects.










—


The purchase of the TRÈVES II building was completed, further consolidating Parliament’s stock of buildings in the city’s European quarter.










—


A feasibility study for the renovation of the Parlamentarium was launched in summer 2024.










—


Works on the renovation of the Citizens’ House started in November 2024.




















21.


On 21 October 2024, the Bureau held a debate on strategic orientations for the future of Parliament’s Building strategy. The debate centred around the shift from expansion to consolidation in a context of limited resources, the focus on comprehensive sustainability and an increase of efficiency through closer cooperation with other EU Institutions and the three host cities (Strasbourg, Brussels and Luxembourg).












22.


During 2024, Houses of Europe with integrated Europa Experience facilities opened in Prague and Dublin. In Luxembourg, the construction of the Europa Experience facility was completed, and opened in May 2024.












23.


A building purchase contract was signed to accommodate a House of Europe featuring Europa Experience in Bratislava. Four new lease contracts were signed for Europa Experience facilities in Athens, Sofia, The Hague and Munich. In the same context, seven market prospections were launched in Bucharest, Lisbon, Madrid, Nicosia, Riga, Valetta, and Vilnius.












24.


At the end of 2024, 52 % of the foreseen Europa Experience facilities had opened.












25.


On 25 November 2024, the Bureau held an orientation debate on the future of Europa Experience centers, considering their performance and rapidly evolving technologies.





Green Parliament









26.


In 2024, Parliament has successfully maintained the EMAS registration. Parliament also started to extend the EMAS certification to Liaison Offices in the Member States.












27.


Out of the eleven environmental performance targets set by the Bureau in 2019, nine were reached by the end of 2023. In particular, Parliament performed well for green public procurement, as well as for the reduction of CO2 emissions, and of energy, paper, and water consumption.












28.


As required by the EMAS certification, at the beginning of each legislative term, the Bureau reaffirmed Parliament’s commitment to improve its environmental performance. On 25 November 2024, the Bureau approved the new environmental policy and a new set of targets for the legislative term 2024-2029, setting higher standards for buildings and a 55 % net emission reduction goal for the EU by 2030.












29.


The responsible services incentivised sustainable commuting choices through improved bicycle parking areas and related infrastructure to support the use of bicycles for daily commuting. Parliament continued to offer an increased financial subsidy system for its staff, reimbursing up to 90 % of the cost of public transport season tickets in exchange for a limitation of car park access.












30.


Facility management, maintenance and upkeep used advanced building techniques and high-performing materials. Special attention was given to energy performance, emissions, carbon footprint, biodiversity of green spaces, and circularity. Every action aimed at impacting the environmental footprint of the buildings’ infrastructure.

The President authorised nine P-transfers of appropriations under Article 29 of the Financial Regulation (10) in 2024 using two sources of funding, namely current appropriations of the year (Fund 0) and appropriations from internal assigned revenue carried over from the previous year (Fund 5). Regarding the former, an amount of EUR 11 479 000, or 0,5 % of final appropriations was used compared to eight P-transfers in 2023, accounting for 0,4 % of final appropriations. For the latter, an overall amount of EUR 5 440 843 was transferred (see Annex II for details).

47.


The increase in commitments under Chapter 1 0 ‘Members of the Institution’ by EUR 32 million (15 %) results from several factors. The annual indexation of Members’ Salaries and Allowances in 2024 (see paragraph 48 below) directly affected item 1 0 0 0 ‘Salaries’. In addition, from 16 July onwards, Parliament hosted 720 Members, instead of 705 Members in 2023. As 2024 was an electoral year, for the month of July 2024, both outgoing and newly elected Members, were entitled for payment of a salary (a full month to outgoing Members non re-elected and half a month to newly elected Members). These elements resulted in an increase of EUR 7,6 million in commitments within item 1 0 0 0. All Members leaving Parliament are entitled to a transitional allowance. The period over which the transitional allowance is paid is determined by the Member’s total length of service in Parliament. The monthly allowance is set at the same level as the monthly salary. As a result, commitments on article 1 0 2 ‘Transitional allowances’ increased by EUR 18,1 million in 2024. Transitional rules for outgoing Members also apply to item 1 0 0 6 ‘General expenditure allowance’, resulting in an increase in commitments of EUR 5,4 million in 2024.












48.


Commitments within Chapter 1 2 ‘Expenditure on officials and temporary staff’ amounted to EUR 854 million in 2024, representing an increase of EUR 55,4 million compared to 2023 (7 %), making it the largest spending category (35,8 % of all commitments in 2024). The growth stems largely from the increase of 3 %, in January 2024, of salaries for officials and other staff of the European Union due to the high inflation rate registered during the previous semester and of a second increase of 4,1 % in December 2024, backdated to 1 July 2024.












49.


Commitments within Chapter 2 0 ‘Buildings and associated costs’ went up by EUR 32,9 million (15 %). Among this Chapter, Article 2 0 0 ‘Buildings’ shows an increase of EUR 25,3 million. In particular, item 2 0 0 0 ‘Rent’ increased by EUR 10,6 million, mainly due to the increase of perimeter related to Europa Experience facilities. Commitments under item 2 0 0 1 ‘Lease payments’ increased by EUR 8,4 million due to revaluated needs relating to the conclusive stages of the ADENAUER II building in Luxembourg. Finally, commitments under item 2 0 0 7 ‘Construction of buildings and fitting-out of premises’ increased by EUR 6,5 million in 2024. This results partly from the initial occupation fit-out of the VEIL building in Strasbourg, and partly from the increased number of first fit-out works undertaken for Europa Experience facilities.












50.


Concerning Article 2 0 2 ‘Expenditure on buildings’, commitments increased by EUR 7,7 million in 2024. Commitments under item 2 0 2 2 ‘Building maintenance, upkeep, operation and cleaning’ went up by EUR 5,8 million, while item 2 0 2 6 ‘Security and surveillance of buildings’ increased by EUR 1,9 million owing, for both items, to the different indexations in the contracts renewed in 2023 and 2024, and for item 2 0 2 6 to the increase in perimeter to be secured year on year.












51.


Within Chapter 2 1 ‘Data processing, equipment and movable property’, commitments increased by EUR 29,02 million (13 %), out of which almost 90 % is due to Article 2 1 0 ‘Computing and telecommunications’. Within the latter, items 2 1 0 5 ‘Investment in projects’ and 2 1 0 4 ‘Investment in infrastructure’ account for 57 % (EUR 14,8 million). The necessary investments are related to the acquisition of individual IT equipment for Members and Parliament staff, the replacement of some of the obsolete servers in the Data Centre, the Wi-Fi network upgrades, the replacement of Parliament’s voting system and of some switches, as well as an increased activity in the area of Cybersecurity and the development of Artificial Intelligence capacities. The rest of Article 2 1 0 experienced an increase of EUR 11,27 million, linked to higher prices paid in 2024 for the purchase and renewal of licenses for IT applications and to the indexation of contracts.












52.


Chapter 3 0 ‘Meetings and conferences’ registered a decrease in commitments of EUR 3 million (10 %) mainly due to Article 3 0 0 ‘Expenses for staff missions and duty travel between the three places of work’ (EUR 3,7 million) resulting from a lower volume of parliamentary activities during an election year (11 Strasbourg part sessions instead of 12). However, this reduction was limited by an increase of commitments within budget line 3 0 4 9 ‘Expenditure on travel agency services’ (EUR 1,2 million) due to a new contract with higher prices. Commitments under budget item 3 0 4 2 ‘Meetings, congresses, conferences and delegations’ also decreased in 2024 (EUR 0,7 million) as a result of fewer meetings of other bodies in the run-up to the elections and during the constituent period.












53.


Overall commitments within Chapter 3 2 ‘Expertise and information: acquisition, archiving, production and dissemination’ decreased by EUR 15,6 million (9 %). In particular, commitments under item 3 2 4 2 ‘Expenditure on publication, information and participation in public events’ registered a substantial reduction of EUR 19,3 million reflecting the trend of the communication expenditure related with the 2024 European elections. Item 3 2 4 3 ‘European Parliament visitor centers’, commitments also dropped down by EUR 4,4 million, mainly due to Europa Experience projects that were delayed. However, commitments under item 3 2 4 8 ‘Expenditure on audiovisual information’ presented a sharp rise of EUR 7,9 million as a consequence of a strong demand for audiovisual services and significant price increases as well as the replacement of obsolete audiovisual equipment both in Brussels and in Strasbourg.












54.


The increase in commitments of EUR 11,3 million (10 %) relating to Chapter 4 0 ‘Expenditure relating to certain institutions and bodies’ is broken down into Article 4 0 0 ‘Current administrative expenditure and expenditure relating to the political and information activities of the political groups and non-attached Members’ (EUR 3,6 million), Article 4 0 2 ‘Funding of European political parties’ (EUR 4,8 million) and Article 4 0 3 ‘Funding of European political foundations’ (EUR 2,9 million). In an election year, additional funding is needed to enable political structures to conduct their political campaigns.












55.


The decrease in commitments of EUR 4,4 million (2 %) under Chapter 4 2 ‘Expenditure relating to parliamentary assistance’ compared to 2023 is also the result of an election year, where the change of Members leads to a gradual renewal of parliamentary assistants.

As the Conference Interpreting Agents (ACIs)’ remuneration is also subject to EU’s statutory agents’ salary adjustment, an additional amount is needed on budget item 1 4 0 5 ‘Expenditure on interpretation’ to cover both the annual update of their remunerations and the sustained demand for interpreting services at the beginning of the new legislative term.

The main purpose of this transfer proposal is to strengthen budget item 2 1 0 4 ‘Computing and telecommunications - Investment in infrastructure’ with EUR 6 937 000  to enable the replacement of obsolete individual equipment (2 938  hybrid computers and 1 000  desktops) and acquisitions for Data Centre and network infrastructure.
The aim is also to cover the shortfall of EUR 818 000  on budget item 2 1 0 2 ‘Computing and telecommunications - Business-as-usual operations - General support for users’.
