    • 20 November: Natural resources and environment (MFF Heading 3), with Christophe Hansen, Commissioner for Agriculture and Food, in the presence of ECA reporting member Klaus- Heiner Lehne.
    These hearings are an important step in the discharge procedure for the financial year 2024, where the Commission's budget implementation, policies and activities in 2024 are evaluated, culminating in the political decision whether to grant discharge to the Commission for the financial year 2024 or not. The European Court of Auditors gave a presentation of their audit findings in each hearing, after which the Commissioner gave an opening statement, followed by a Q&A session with the Members of the Committee.
