"The first surprise that strikes me, even after just a cursory read of today’s agenda, is the ridiculously large number of European agencies there are. Parliament is dealing today with 43 discharge reports relating to as many European institutions. At this time when it is vital to use public money prudently, Parliament should scrutinise rigorously the benefit of, and need for, these agencies. For instance, I welcome the idea of merging CEPOL and EUROPOL. I believe that other similar solutions could also be found. This analysis is especially necessary in light of the extremely serious suspicions concerning the way in which public money is spent in these agencies and the potential conflicts of interest. I am going to vote to postpone discharge for certain agencies. This action does not resolve the problems mentioned. However, I believe that it can provide a starting point for a meticulous examination of the way in which this excessive number of agencies at EU level operate, and of their costs and benefit."@en1
