DECISION OF THE BUREAU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
of 17 October 2022
amending the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members of the European Parliament 2022/C 452/01
THE BUREAU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 2232 thereof, Having regard to the Statute for Members of the European Parliament 1, in particular Articles 21 and, 201, 3 and 4
thereof, Having regard to Rule 253 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament, Having regard to Article 282 of the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members.
Whereas:
1
Article 203 of the Statute for Members provides for certain expenses incurred by Members in the exercise of their mandate to be reimbursed by means of a flat-rate sum. Recital 17 of the Statute for Members specifies that such reimbursement is to be effected in conformity with the principles set out by the Court of Justice of the European Communities in the Lord Bruce judgment 2.
2
Parliament is therefore able to effect such reimbursement by means of a flat-rate sum where this would reduce the administrative costs and burdens inherent in a system that otherwise requires the verification of each individual item of expense, in the interests of sound administration.
3
In accordance with Rule 253 of the Rules of Procedure, the Bureau takes financial, organisational and administrative decisions on matters concerning Members.
4
Article 25 of the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members of the European Parliament 3 the Implementing Measures specifies that Members are entitled to a general expenditure allowance in the form of a lump sum. Article 282 of the Implementing Measures mandates the Bureau to adopt a non-exhaustive list of the expenses which may be defrayed from that allowance.
