3a. Demands to consider to enable fee earning Agencies to use their additional fee income to provide their legislative services and to create fee-financed employment where the EU budget is not in a position to do so; also asks the Commission not to use positive fee income of the Agencies as EU own resources; these are earmarked revenues of the Agencies and should not be diverted to purposes not legalised by the respective fee legislations;

Paragraph 8 a (new)
8a. Notes with concern that most of the decentralised agencies have absorbed significant staff cuts in the last years and are nevertheless expected by the Commission to continue reducing their personnel far above the 5%, despite increasing tasks; for some agencies, such as ECHA or EEA etc., this will result in a reduction of staff of over 10%; stresses that the Agencies’ tasks - be it from legislation, Commission requests or other EU initiatives - are constantly growing and the cuts can simply not be absorbed by increasing efficiencies or sharing services between agencies alone;
