Amendment 63 #
Alexandra GEESE
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 59
(59) To support the implementation of this Regulation and contribute to the achievement of its objectives, the EU Centre should serve as a central facilitator, carrying out a range of specific tasks. The performance of those tasks requires strong guarantees of independence, in particular from law enforcement authorities, as well as a governance structure ensuring the effective, efficient and coherent performance of its different tasks, and legal personality to be able to interact effectively with all relevant stakeholders as well as an autonomous budget. Therefore, it should be established as a decentralised Union agency and provided with the necessary human and financial resources to fulfil the objectives, tasks and responsibilities assigned to it under this Regulation. It should be mainly financed by a contribution from the general budget of the Union, with the necessary appropriations drawn exclusively from unallocated margins under the relevant heading of the Multiannual Financial Framework and/or through the mobilisation of the relevant special instruments. In order to ensure that the Agency can respond flexibly to human resource needs, it is in particular appropriate that it has autonomy regarding the recruitment of contract agents.

Alexandra GEESE
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 74 a (new)
(74 a) In view of the need for a more effective EU Centre it is necessary to establish a Survivors' Advisory Board.Through the structured involvement of victims and former victims of sexualised violence, the EU Centre should serve as a platform to offer holistic support for the fight against child sexual abuse in all Member States. The Survivors’ Advisory Council may support the EU Centre’s activities to facilitate cross-border cooperation for existing national networks and the exchange of best practice. It may also raise awareness for child sexual abuse by serving as a knowledge platform through the coordination, collection and synthethis of research.
