5. Regrets that corrective actions related to the Court’s comments of 2013 regarding the double location of the Agency in Lille and Valenciennes have not yet been implemented; further regrets that in the absence ofstresses that it is likely that costs could be reduced if all operations were centralised in one location; points out that the reduction of costs might also facilitate a comprehensive seat agreement with the host Member State - which would have the effect of clarifying the conditions under which the Agency and its staff operate - the costs of operations are likely to be higher than necessary;
