Abstract:Executive agencies are Community bodies established by the European Commission in order to implement, by delegation, all or part of EU spending programmes. They are a relatively new phenomenon in the European institutional landscape. The audit assessed whether the six executive agencies which have been created since 2003 had proven to be a successful instrument for implementing the European budget. The report analyses the decision-making process for creating the agencies and the benefits achieved in terms of cost savings, service delivery and efficiency gains. The Commission’s supervision of the agencies’ activities is also examined. |
