The
Bureau of the
European Parliament is responsible for matters relating to the budget, administration, organisation and staff. 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.
