This draft report concerns the Council position on Draft amending budget No 3/2024, which reinforces the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) budget following Poland's accession and Sweden's expected participation. Parliament welcomes the enlargement, underlines the need for additional resources, regrets that the draft does not provide enough for full IT autonomy, and calls on the Commission to include necessary resources in a future draft.

Committee position. The rapporteur proposes that Parliament adopt a resolution welcoming the enlargement, underlining resource needs, regretting the lack of IT autonomy funding, and calling for future additional resources.

Key points

  1. Warmly welcomes Poland's accession to the EPPO and Sweden's expected participation, which would bring the number of participating Member States to 24.
  2. Underlines the need to provide the EPPO with additional financial and human resources, including for recruitment of European Prosecutors, support functions, and operational and salary expenditure.
  3. Notes that the Commission will no longer provide digital workplace services to the EPPO from 2025, and that the EPPO has requested resources for IT independence and security.
  4. Regrets that Draft amending budget No 3/2024 does not provide resources for full IT systems autonomy as of 2025, and calls on the Commission to include them in a future draft.
