Paragraph 4 b (new)
4 b. Welcomes that 9 agencies had introduced their own internal rules to deal with the lack of provisions in EU legislation governing the activities of members of agencies’ boards; notes with concern that the remaining 31 agencies only take into account potential ‘revolving door’ cases concerning their current and former staff, leading to only a small fraction of potential ‘revolving door’ cases of agencies’ board members being subject to any assessment; is concerned that during the period 2019-2021 only 20 of the 40 agencies examined by ECA had considered any potential revolving-door cases related to their senior staff members; calls on agencies to urgently introduce internal rules for members of their boards on conflicts of interest in general and ‘revolving door’ situations in particular;
