This study has been prepared for the Committee on Budgetary Control. It assesses recent developments in the transparency and accountability of EU NGO funding. The Commission has transitioned all programmes to a single, centralised grant management system that can potentially enhance the public transparency of grant funding significantly. Nevertheless, overall public transparency remains limited. The study recommends a more comprehensive, systematic approach to public transparency involving the Parliament ...

The ECB has orchestrated a U-turn in monetary policy since July 2022. However, inflation remains a considerable distance away from its own medium-term objective.

On the costs of operating a large balance sheet, the ECB should re-introduce its tiering system for compensation ...
