Bureau of the European Parliament

{{short description|Administration bureau}}

The Bureau of the European Parliament is responsible for matters relating to the budget, administration, organisation and staff in the European Parliament. It is composed of the President of the European Parliament along with all 14 Vice-Presidents and the five Quaestors (in a consultative capacity). They are elected for two and a half years (renewable term) with the President holding a casting vote. Elections are usually held at the start, and at the midpoint, of each Parliamentary term.
