Special Report No 13/2009: Delegating implementing tasks to executive agencies: a successful option?, published on 20 November 2009
Luxembourg
Executive agencies are Community bodies established by the European Commission in order to implement, by delegation, all or part of EU spending programmes. They are a relatively new phenomenon in the European institutional landscape. The audit assessed whether the six executive agencies which have been created since 2003 had proven to be a successful instrument for implementing the European budget. The report analyses the decision-making process for creating the agencies and the benefits achieved in terms of cost savings, service delivery and efficiency gains. The Commission's supervision of the agencies' activities is also examined. Special Report Press Release
