Recital 3
(3) Based on the findings of the external evaluation, the recommendations by the Administrative Board and the multi-annual strategy, some provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 should be clarified and updated. Furthermore, the Agency should receive a number of additional tasks reflecting the development of the maritime safety policy at EU and international level. Considerable screening and redeployment efforts are necessary to guarantee cost and budget efficiency. This should allow one third of additional staffing needs for new tasks to be covered through internal redeployment by the Agency. In keeping with this requirement for greater efficiency, the Agency should attach a report to each year’s budget on the unspent appropriations carried over from previous years, explaining why those monies have not been used and how and when they will be used.
