Press Release: Commission seeks common approach on the future governance of European Agencies

The European Commission called for a new approach to looking at the role and governance of European agencies. In recent years, using agencies to implement key tasks has become an established part of the way the European Union does its business. The communication called on the European Parliament and the Council to give a new momentum to the need to develop a clear and coherent vision on the place of agencies in European governance. The Commission called for the establishment of an inter-institutional working group to allow the key issues facing agencies to be set out as ground rules to apply to all.
