Paragraph 5
5. Expresses concern about the significant increase in EDPS staff mission costs, from EUR 28 789 in 2021 and EUR 176 903 in 2022, to EUR 284 580 in 2023; calls on the EDPS to assess whether the resources spent on missions are being used appropriately and effectively; notes that the EDPS ceased making public the number of missions funded by organisers, as well as information on which unit or sector participated in each mission, thus reducing transparency regarding mission expenses; calls on the EDPS to reinstate this practice.; calls on the EDPS to clarify the reasons for the increase in mission costs, particularly in the context of the 12 % budget increase, and to ensure full transparency of this expenditure, including by reinstating publication of detailed information on the number of missions; calls for the implementation of stricter rules on missions and their justification;
