Transparency on the General Expenditure Allowance 

The general expenditure allowance granted to MEPs is intended to cover inter alia expenses such as office running and office maintenance costs, office supplies and documentation, office equipment costs, representational activities or administrative costs.

Members can publish on their MEP profile page on Parliament’s website a voluntary audit or confirmation that their use of the general expenditure allowance complies with the applicable rules of the Statute for Members and its implementing measures.

They are able to do so by using a confirmation form and uploading supporting documents. (See Rule 11 (2) of the Rules of Procedure.)
