Parliamentary scrutiny is fine, but even parliaments need watching.

The Report contains a lot of factual information about an important but expensive institution, which is about to start a new five year term, hopefully reform-minded with regard to its internal affairs and active in its work for EU citizens and businesses in legislative and budgetary matters.
