"This report weaves together criticisms of how the funds of some EU agencies are managed, tackling everything from conflicts of interest in some of these agencies to substantial increases in their budgets. One of the key priorities is the European Parliament’s request that the Court of Auditors submit a special report on comparative analyses of EU agencies’ costs, which has not yet been answered. So as to manage budgetary resources better, the Commission is called on to stop increasing the agencies’ budgets and even to consider reducing the contribution from the EU budget. While we agree with the majority of the rapporteur’s comments and criticisms, we do not accept that the demanded budget reduction should be made indiscriminately and regardless of the duties of the agency in question. Specifically, we do not support the stance that the reduction should be made ‘in particular’ in agencies whose main activity is research: the purpose of this proposal is bound up with the intention of making these institutions – which should not pursue ends other than those indisputably in the public interest – even more dependent on private interests."@en1
