Notes that the surplus has been accumulated by the Agency pursuant to industry-financed activities over the years, for which there is no provision in the Agency's Founding Regulation; stresses that this surplus could prove to be precious for the budgetary equilibrium of the Agency in view of a severe economic crisis for the aviation sector that would impact the fee-related activities;

Underlines the significant workload induced by the Boeing 737 Max investigations; commends the efforts deployed by the Agency to lead this mission head-on with the production of a corrective action plan and its more traditional missions; notes that the Agency achieved in nine months a process similar to the certification of a new derivative aircraft which usually takes between four and five years, as part of the investigation on the aircraft certification which went on in 2020;
