3. Considers that current flexibility mechanisms are insufficient in terms of volume and flexibility to adequately respond to the changed situation; recalls that, mainly owing to a lack of resources, the Commission has set up a number of ad hoc instruments, including the Trust Funds for Syria, Africa and the Central African Republic and the Refugee Facility for Turkey; welcomes their potential to increase the EU’s financial response, but is concerned, nevertheless, about transparency and accountability and notes Member States’ failure to deliver on funding pledges; strongly calls for ensuring European Parliament representation in the Trust Funds' governing structures;
