6. Notes that, further to its audit of the Agency’s procurement procedures, the Court concluded that the Agency engaged in contractual agreements or negotiations with a single contractor, without precisely defining the services requested; is deeply concerned as such agreements involve a high risk of acting contrary to the principle of "economy", damaging the "cost-effectiveness" of such procurements and are much more exposed to the risk of corruption; observes that such agreements could also further limit competition and increase dependence upon the contractor; acknowledges that, in particular for the systems under management, factors outside the control of the Agency limit the possibility to systematically re-open competitions; encourages the Agency to conclude agreements with multiple suppliers or to define the services required more precisely, whenever possible;
