Points out that in response to the levels of migration in 2015-2016, the tasks and the final budgets of Frontex and EASO increased considerably; underlines that both agencies were confronted with considerable administrative and operational challenges and high expectations to deliver results immediately, without much time to adapt systems and procedures and to hire the necessary staff; notes that as a result they faced problems absorbing the additional funds during the budgetary year, leading to considerable cancellations, high carry- overs of funds and high staff turn-over as well as difficulties to comply to budgetary and public procurement rules;
