Paragraph 2
2. WNotes with satisfaction the increasing occupancy rate of the Office which is expected to reach 90% at the end of 2021 and the decrease of the staff turnover to 5,73% in 2020; welcomes the downward trend in the number of interim workers compared to the total number of staff; highlights that one of the reasons underlying the dependency on interim staff was also the delay of the adoption and entry into force of the Regulation establishing a European Union Agency for Asylum (the ‘Regulation’); welcomes that an agreement has been reached in this regard and that the new legal framework will allow the new agency to employ remunerated experts; underlines that in order to decrease this dependency, the Office carried out an active dialogue with the Commission; regrets that only short term solutions could be identified and that the Office was allowed to employ 58 contractual agents in 2020 only for a period of one year, until the envisaged adoption of the Regulation; notes however, that due to the delay in the adoption of the Regulation, the Office found itself in a difficult situation, as the agreement did not allow it to extend these contracts until the entry into force of the new legal framework; notes with regret a serious lack of foresight on behalf of the Commission when designing and allocating these posts to the Office; underlines that the situation created had a negative impact on the recruitment capabilities and activities of the Office;
