Paragraph 6
6. Observes, from the annual accounts the very low execution ratio of 18,36 % for payments under Title III ‘Operational Expenditure’; notes that this is due to a significant number of procurements which were launched in the last part of 2010 once the Institute became administratively autonomous from June of that year; calls on the Institute to inform the discharge authority of the actions taken since then to improve the ratios as the low execution ratios show difficulties in budget planning and implementation;

16. Invites the Institute, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the Commission to further explore the common elements between the Institute and FRA and to report back on the possibility of deeper integration and/or the eventual merger of the two Agencies; believes that a merger of the Institute and FRA should be considered in order to avoid duplication and reduce overhead costs; invites the Institute, FRA and the Commission to analyse gains and losses arising from the merger scenario, and to evaluate to what extent the merger could contribute to economies of scale and optimisation of the performance in the area of fundamental rights, women's rights and equality between women and menin order to seek to avoid duplication without jeopardising the important and different policy areas of fundamental rights and gender equality and the distinctive approach required by each one;
