"I voted in favour of the report ‘2010 discharge: performance, financial management and control of EU agencies’, despite amendments which partially watered down the criticism in my report, in particular, the one referring to the way the European Court of Auditors fulfilled its duties as external auditing body for the agencies. In my view, agencies need to reduce their running costs and follow a zero-based budgeting approach when drawing up their budgets: each agency budget must be based on its real current needs and not on its needs established years ago. It is also time for the Commission to carry out an evaluation in order to detect occurrences of unnecessary or overlapping activities and to analyse the merger of some of the agencies. EU agencies should publish on their websites the lists of all contracts awarded over the last three years as well as the list of the management board members together with their declaration of interests and curriculum vitae. The same should be done for all persons in management positions in the agencies and for all experts and scientific guests. Conflicts of interest have proved to be a serious concern in several agencies."@en1
