"I voted in favour of the resolution on 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. The decisions on the establishment and allocation of agencies taken by the Council during recent years are responsible for high expenditures and ineffectiveness of the functioning of the agencies concerned, as they are not based on efficiency considerations, leading
to remote and high cost locations. Particularly at this time of crisis, the real added-value of the agencies should be seriously and rapidly analysed in order to avoid any non-mandatory and absolutely unnecessary spending, and to properly respond to the real needs of the Union and its citizens, and to react to concerns and the lack of confidence in our institutions. The Union and its Member States cannot ask Union citizens to save money without doing it themselves. Union bodies, agencies included, must be conscientious in making savings while requiring citizens, who are taxpayers contributing to the Union budget, to make savings as well."@en1
