Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
4. Notes that the external evaluation, to which the Centre was submitted in 2017, as required by the financial rules, concluded that the Centre’s reinforced cooperation with the three other decentralised agencies within the Directorate-General Employment’s remit - the European Training Foundation (ETF), the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (EUROFOUND) - emerged as a feasible option; notes that the Centre’s recast founding regulation, which came into force in February 2019, took up the outcome of this external evaluation;

Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4 a. Questions the necessity of an agency dedicated specifically for the purpose of development of vocational training; appeals to the Commission to utilize the results of the external “cross- agencies” evaluation which the Centre underwent along with EU-OSHA and the ETF, in consideration of merging the Centre with the EUROFOUND; underlines that the Centre and the EUROFOUND have a very similar field of operation and the merger will simplify the funding of the two Agencies, as well as clarify the system of European Agencies to the general public;

Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 b (new)
4 b. Authorizes the Commission to conduct a Feasibility Study in order to assess the possibility of, if not fully merging, at the very least setting up shared synergies with the EUROFOUND; calls upon the Commission to evaluate both scenarios, e. g. the transfer of the Centre to the EUROFOUND Headquarters in Loughlinstown, and the transfer of the EUROFOUND Headquarters to the Centre’s Thessaloniki Headquarters; notes that such an act would mean sharing corporate and support services and the management of the common premises, as well as shared ICT, telecommunications and internet-based infrastructures, saving huge amounts of money which would be used on further funding of both agencies;
