Draft opinion
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Deplores the fact that despite the Agency's efforts, it has not yet been possible, 15 years after the Agency was set up, to conclude the agreement on the Agency’s headquarter; recalls that according to the Common Approach on EU decentralised agencies agreed between the Parliament, the Council, and the Commission, 'all agencies should have headquarters agreements, which should be concluded before the agency starts its operational phase'; notes in this regard that another agency, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, signed a headquarter agreement with the German Government in 2011; deeply regrets the situation and urges the host country to conclude an agreement with the Agency as quickly as possible with a view to clarifying relations between national judicial authorities and the Agency and enabling the Agency to perform its legal task without hindrance; calls on the Commission and the Member States to take the opportunity available this year to amend the Act establishing the Agency with a view to securing a headquarters agreement, allowing the Agency to operate unimpeded; calls, therefore, to be notified of the final decision on the Agency’s headquarters;
