Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 b (new)
4 b. Authorizes the Commission to conduct a Feasibility Study in order to assess the possibility of, if not fully merging, at the very least setting up shared synergies with the EUROFOUND; calls upon the Commission to evaluate both scenarios, e. g. the transfer of the Centre to the EUROFOUND Headquarters in Loughlinstown, and the transfer of the EUROFOUND Headquarters to the Centre’s Thessaloniki Headquarters; notes that such an act would mean sharing corporate and support services and the management of the common premises, as well as shared ICT, telecommunications and internet-based infrastructures, saving huge amounts of money which would be used on further funding of both agencies;
