Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Believes that common elements between the College and the European Police Office should be explored further; reiterates its call on the Commission to prepare a comprehensive impact assessment regarding a potential merger of those two Agencies settingthat will take into account and update the results of the study issued by CEPOL 2011 (contract CEPOL/CT/2010/002) and the study on the amendment of Council Decision 2005/681/JHA setting up CEPOL activity from 2012; suggests that such an impact assessment should set out the cost and benefits, considering the complementarities between the College and European Police Office and the potential synergies, and to evaluate whether the merger could lead to economies of scale and optimisation of the performance in cross-border cooperation in the fight against crime; emphasises that a swift decision on the location of CEPOL would diminish the uncertainty that might pose adverse effects on staff and recruitment procedures;
