"This report by Monica Luisa Macovei concerns discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Union agencies for the financial year 2010: performance, financial management and control of European Union agencies. With a view to supporting the Member States and their citizens, the European Union has created specialised and decentralised agencies to respond to the territorial dimension of Europe and to deal with its new technical, scientific and legal competences. The number of EU agencies has increased exponentially, from three in 2000 to 24 in 2011; their costs almost doubled between 2007 and 2010. I welcome the creation of the interinstitutional working group on agencies and the work it has done towards its objective of reviewing agencies’ roles, positions, structures, workings, oversight and management. I agree with the rapporteur that, in the times of crisis we are experiencing, we need to be sure that the cost of the agencies, which is around EUR 1.7 billion per year, is absolutely necessary and justified by improvements to the European public’s quality of life."@en1
