to the Commission
Rule 117

In February 2010, Dutch media organisation RTL published information on how much money 27 Commissioners had spent in 2009 on missions inside and outside the EU and on representation costs. RTL had obtained its figures from the Commission’s Paymaster’s Office (PMO).

In October 2012, one of the findings of a report on the role of investigative journalism in the deterrence of fraud with EU funds, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control, was that the EU institutions need to give a clear and sound response to questions.

In the light of this, can the Commission publish a similar table with the missions and representation costs for each of its Commissioners for 2010 and 2011?
