Key points

The European Parliament granted discharge for the implementation of the eighth through eleventh European Development Funds for the 2020 financial year.
The estimated error rate in expenditure rose to 3.8%, surpassing the established materiality threshold.
A major cause of financial errors was the absence of necessary supporting documentation and ineligible expenditures.
The eleventh EDF reached its final stage as its sunset clause took effect at the end of 2020.
