Abstract

This briefing introduces the challenges that have been faced in delivering a discharge of the Council�s budget over the last decade, with particular regard to the Council�s executive activities. The authors analyse the institutional and legal constraints and put forward a number of recommendations aimed at achieving more accountability regarding the Council�s budget and executive expenditure without resorting to treaty reform.
