"Mr President, I would like to begin by emphasising that EU agencies, including the Agency for Human Rights, are of fundamental importance when it comes to achieving the aims and policies of the EU. Despite the fact that they account for just 1% of the EU budget, they are of unquestionable benefit to Member State citizens.
In connection with the discharge for the Agency for Fundamental Rights, however, I think it is necessary to emphasise that, if the agency is to continue functioning and to develop its activities as effectively as possible, it must adopt a number of measures to help it overcome the main problems relating to budgetary activities, expenditure, project funding and staff recruitment. The claims about alleged harassment of employees are also of great concern, although a case has already been brought in relation to this. It is now therefore necessary for the agency to give an adequate response to these allegations and clarify the handling of informers, because it is not clear that existing regulations on the protection of informers have been applied consistently, and the agency should have informed the European Parliament about this and submitted a written report. Budget planning is another negative aspect. The agency should also make improvements in this regard. The high volume of transferred funds is causing concern and the Court of Auditors has repeatedly drawn attention to this already."@en1
