"Madam President, I have previously called on this House to make a bonfire of EU quangos. EU agencies are inefficient, unnecessary and unaccountable. I hope that the scandals of the European Environment, Medicine and Food Safety agencies will make Members think twice about what these quangos do.
The European Environment Agency’s relationship with an NGO, which it sent on trips to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, are totally unacceptable. The agency’s lack of regard for public procurement procedures is also offensive, especially as so many public bodies in my London constituency are struggling to abide by complicated EU public procurement rules.
Finally, we get to the area where I feel all EU bodies are wasting money: information and communication. The agency’s ‘living façade’ was a EUR 300 000 over-indulgence. I congratulate the rapporteur on recommending a vote against granting discharge."@en1
