annul decision A(2015)8360 C of the European Parliament of 15 September 2015 rejecting the applicant’s confirmatory application for access to certain documents relating to information on Members’ of the European Parliament travel expenses, subsistence allowances, general expenditure allowances and staffing arrangements expenses;

44. Regrets that until now the GEA is considered as a lump-sum amount and that there are no precise rules for the expenditures that may be covered by the allowance; is astonished that Members do not have to account for the way they have used the allowance and that for Members who wish to do so, verification of their accounts by the Internal Auditor of Parliament is not possible; calls for further clarifications in respect of the type of expenditure the GEA is to be used for and for the introduction of obligatory annual reporting by the Members of their expenditures paid out of the GEA, or, failing that, for at least opening a procedure ...[+++] for verification of the Members' accounts on a voluntary basis;

49. Believes that Parliament is the only European public institution that pays an allowance intended to meet the costs of office administration into private and personal bank accounts without requiring any receipts to be kept or the auditing of the expenditure; suspects that Members would be deeply critical of any other body that similarly failed to supervise the use of public money; calls on the Secretary-General to propose light touch arrangements to ensure that the General Expenditure Allowance is used for the purpose intended and cannot provide a supplementary private income for Members;

75. Notes that the general expenditure allowance is frozen at 2011 level; calls on the Bureau not to index Members' allowances to inflation;

the provisions of the 3701 rules concerning non-attached Members need to be revised and clarified in order to avoid claims for ineligible items of expenditure (i.e. those already covered by Members' allowances, e.g. general expenditure allowance, secretarial allowance) and accompanied for Member's guidance by a list of items qualifying under the 3701 rules;

No supporting documents will be required for the annual payment of ECU 3262 by way of the general expenses allowance and for the payment of ECU 231 by way of the daily allowance.
