Key points

The European Parliament successfully implemented the vast majority of its 2020 budget, showing high efficiency in spending.
A large portion of the budget is tied up in rigid costs, such as staff salaries and building expenses.
The Court of Auditors confirmed the reliability of accounts, though specific errors in IT and subsistence payments were noted.
There is a critical need to improve the transparency of how Members report their meetings with interest representatives.
