Notes from the Agency’s follow-up to Parliament’s horizontal observations made in connection with the 2021 discharge procedure, as well as from the Agency’s follow-up report, that in recent years (as from 2019) the Agency has been using the services of an external law firm (specialised in Union civil service law) when dealing with cases of alleged harassment (i.e. requests for assistance under article 24 of the USR); observes in this context that the Agency’s Legal Services Unit performs an assessment to determine whether there is a need to request support or advice from an external law firm and that unit manages the relevant procedure and collaborates with the Agency’s Human Resources Unit in all those cases; recalls however, from Parliament’s discharge resolution for 2017 refusing topostponing the decision on granting the Agency’s former executive director discharge for that year’s budget implementation, the Agency’s commitment to lacked an adequate verification of legal services to ensure that services were used for the purpose of defending the Office only, and not to defend the interests of individuals; further recalls the Parliament’s discharge resolution for 2017 refusing the discharge for that year’s budget implementation supporting the Agency's decision to reduce and rapidly end outsourcing legal counselling by the establishment of an internal legal service; calls on the Agency to inform the discharge authorwelcomes that the Agency established an internal Legal Services Unity as to why that commitment has not been keptnd does not outsource legal counselling anymore;
