Amendment 25 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
8. Recalls that decentralised agencies whose missions fall within the remit of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety play a major role, and stresses that their tasks, which include better information-sharing with the public on decision-making, more access to documents and greater involvement in their activities, are constantly growing and that those agencies must therefore be given the necessary financial and human resources to fulfil their mandate and execute such tasks; against this background, notes with concern that most of those agencies have absorbed significant staff cuts in recent years, including the reduction of staff working on tasks financed by applicants' fees without regard to the workload involved; strongly supports, therefore, a case-by-case approach to assessing the individual needs of decentralised agencies.
