Expenditure Analysis Unit - Post A

The Directorate-General for Budgetary Affairs is responsible for organising the work of Parliament's committees on budgets and budgetary control and for providing policy support and analyses in the field of budget to committees and parliamentary bodies;

We are a brand new unit, which has been set up to strengthen the European Parliament in its role as budget and discharge authority. The aim of the unit is to support Parliament’s priorities by providing technical and strategic analyses of budget-related data sets, calculations and simulations for committees and other parliamentary bodies. We assist two important committees in the Parliament: the Committee on Budgets (BUDG) and the Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT). These committees prepare the decisions   of the Parliament regarding the EU budget and its control (discharge);

We work closely with the secretariats of the committees, the Budget Support Unit and other policy departments and research units, as well as with external partners such as national Parliaments, Universities, European think-tanks.
