Following an external audit to assess the functioning of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (Bilbao), the Commission has tabled a number of amendments to the regulation establishing it.
I voted in favour of the report, given that the amendments are intended to clarify the Agency’s objectives and responsibilities, to improve its functioning, to strengthen the role of the social partners and to enhance cooperation with other bodies operating in the social field.
This Agency plays a key role in disseminating information and encouraging people to exchange experiences on health and safety at work. This task is crucial given the terrible tragedy of work-related accidents, which come at an incalculable human and financial cost.
The Agency also takes part in the decision-making process in that it provides the European institutions with the information needed to adopt legislation in the social field and, more importantly, information on the impact of that legislation on small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition to collecting and passing on information, the Agency will henceforth take on the task of analysing data relating to safety and health at work.
I wholeheartedly support any amendment aimed at making this Agency more transparent and more efficient."@en1
