The rules of funding are laid down by a regulation adopted by the Council and the Parliament, pursuant to Article 10 paragraph 4 of the Treaty on European Union and Article 224 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The implementing procedures are adopted by the Bureau of the European Parliament.

  • Regulation (EU, EURATOM) No 1141/2014
  • Decision of the Bureau of the European Parliament of 12 June 2017
