Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Recalls that decentralised agencies whose missions fall within the remit of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety play a major role, and stresses that their tasks are constantly growing and that those agencies must therefore be given the necessary financial and human resources to fulfil their mandate and execute such tasks; against this background, notes with concern that most of those agencies have absorbed significant staff cuts in recent years and that this fact is being exploited to reject their scientific assessments as a basis for political decisions; strongly supports, therefore, a case-by-case approach to assessing the individual needs of decentralised agencies. and observes that an appropriate staff structure will help to make political decisions objective.
