"Mr President, the synergies existing between these four agencies require us to take a closer look at their objectives. While their objectives have been established on paper, the discharge procedure leaves us less satisfied as to their effectiveness.
The external auditor has pointed the finger at weak budgetary planning, the lack of a clear link between objectives and budgetary resources, as well as carry-overs and cancellations of significant appropriations. To take the example of Eurofound, the Court of Auditors notes in its 2009 report that the Foundation has not established in its budget a specific heading for the different programmes financed by assigned revenue.
For me, the problem is that we are no longer sure how EU contributions are used before the agency’s balance sheet is examined two years later. These weaknesses in budgetary planning do not therefore give us the guarantee of specific value for these four agencies.
In response to this situation, we can think about coordinating their work better. For example, why not form a single governing board for these four agencies? The interinstitutional working group has been working on these problems for a number of years. What response can it give us?"@en1
