Summary

The 2023 discharge for EU agencies. Amendments address the agencies in employment and social affairs (Eurofound, EU-OSHA, CEDEFOP, ETF and ELA), citing the Court of Auditors' report, materiality threshold, public procurement weaknesses, staffing and work-life balance, gender and geographical balance, social dialogue, and the right to disconnect, with some calling for spending cuts and others praising the agencies' work.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
