Employing staff from all Member States and present in nearly every capital city, the Agencies break down political, cultural, technical and regulatory barriers to bring Europe closer to citizens. See how the EU Agencies contribute to the lives of everyone in Europe in this new clip from the EU Agencies Network.
On the occasion of Europe Day, the EU Agencies Network released a video that demonstrates the vital role the Agencies play in ensuring the safety and well-being of citizens. The video reflects on people’s lives from birth through to old age, and shows how the EU Agencies contribute positively to citizens’ lives by collecting and analysing data needed for targeted policies at EU and national level, safeguarding our borders and fighting organised crime, and at the same time creating the innovation needed to keep the EU at the cutting edge of global competition. Europe Day is held on 9 May every year to celebrate peace and unity in Europe.

The medicines we take, the food we eat, the chemicals in our products and in our surroundings, our education, the quality of our working lives, our transport, our fundamental rights… etc. are just some of the areas in which the EU Agencies make daily contributions to improving the lives of Europe’s citizens.

DownloadTwo recent studies analyse the cost-effectiveness of EU Agencies, how they reduce the overall costs to taxpayers and their contribution to the Europe 2020 strategy and the Juncker Agenda.
According to the first report, for a cost of 1.2 billion Euro (less than 0.8% of the EU’s total budget in 2015), the EU Agencies significantly contribute to the successful implementation of virtually all of the EU policy priorities.
The second report estimates that it would cost Member States around €170 million a year to assume the tasks currently done by seven agencies selected for the purpose of this study. Similarly, if those seven agencies were not there to provide services to firms doing business in the EU’s Internal Market, the cost to industry could be as high as 1 billion euro a year.

On 25-26th of September, the EU’s Justice and Home Affairs Agencies (JHAA) will gather for the 3rd Network Meeting in 2019, hosted by Europol, current chair of the network in 2019.
The JHAA network is comprised of nine agencies: CEPOL, EASO, EIGE, EMCDDA, eu-LISA, Eurojust, Europol, FRA and Frontex. The network started its activities in 2006 to discuss and coordinate a centralized approach towards agencies’ cooperation with the EU institutions.
They will meet next week in the Hague to continue their discussion of the strategic way forward regarding the EU‘s security architecture and other areas of common interest.

On 10 October, the Heads of EU Agencies meet in Brussels for the first time under ECDC chairmanship, to discuss matters of common interest to all agencies. The chairmanship of the Network of EU Agencies (EUAN) officially passed from Frontex to ECDC on 1 September 2018, and a hand-over meeting with representatives from FRONTEX and EFSA took place on 13 September 2018.
In this regular meeting of the Heads of Agencies, a wide range of issues will be covered, including resource management and results of Agencies’ audit in 2017, while focusing on the four priorities of the network:
- Shared services and capabilities
- Mutual value creation with EU Institutions
- Outward communication
- Internal governance
On 1 March, the Chairmanship of the Network of EU Agencies (EUAN) officially passed from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to Frontex at a handover meeting held in Frontex’s headquarters in Warsaw.
EFSA’s Executive Director Bernhard Url, Frontex’s Executive Director Fabrice Leggeri, and Andrea Ammon, the Director of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) met to discuss ongoing and future priorities for the Network under the helm of Frontex (March-September 2018) and ECDC (from September 2018-March 2020).
EUAN efforts will continue to focus on the four priorities of the Network including ensuring synergies and efficiency wherever possible by way of sharing services, as well as the potential for additional sources of funding for EU Agencies in the upcoming Multi-annual Financial Framework.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day on 8 March, which celebrates the movement for women’s rights, more than 40 EU Agencies and Joint Undertakings unite with a common declaration against sexual harassment in the workplace. Following the initiative of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), the statement signed by the Agencies’ Directors declares zero tolerance towards harassment and gender-based inequality. The Heads of the EU Agencies have pledged to communicate to their staff that harassment in the workplace is not acceptable, to ensure respect for existing laws and the staff regulation, to promote diversity at work, and to provide a trusted environment in the workplace.
The focus of the Heads of Agencies meeting (6-7 July) was on reviewing the progress made on the actions laid out in the Network’s Work Programme: increased sharing of services and capabilities among Agencies; common initiatives to enhance Agencies’ value creation in line with EU strategic priorities; improved internal governance of the Network; and more visible communication on the services provided by the Agencies for European citizens.
Heads of Agencies also discussed current and future challenges, and how the EU Agency model could be reshaped to address these. In an intensive half-day workshop, participants from both the Heads of Agencies and Heads of Resources also explored the possibility of sharing capabilities in human resource management, and they also looked at the state of play of Brexit and its possible impact on the Agencies.
The Heads of the Network of Agencies came together on 5-7 July at EFSA’s headquarters in Parma, Italy, to discuss common strategic initiatives. In particular, they looked into more efficient ways of working together to provide greater value for European citizens. The meeting, also attended by representatives from the European Commission and Parliament, was hosted by EFSA as current Chair of the European Union Agencies Network (EUAN) comprising 45 Agencies and Joint Undertakings. The Agencies which are spread across Europe work in a wide range of policy areas, from health and environment, to migration and security, to business and innovation.
The main purpose of the Network is to streamline efforts and create a unified voice of the various Agencies working across Europe. The meeting is going to look at how the agencies can join forces and expertise to increase efficiency and offer more tangible benefits for Europeans.
This gathering of representatives from the 45 decentralised EU Agencies creates a great opportunity to exchange of best practices on administrative and organizational issues. The top priorities are: mutual value creation, improved outward communication and internal governance as well as the development of shared services and capabilities.
12 EU Agencies were nominated, 3 shortlisted and 3 handed a prestigious Award during the European Ombudsman Award in Brussels on 29 March 2017.
As of March 2 2017 the European Food Safety Authority based in Parma, Italy, assumed the chairmanship of the EU Network of Agencies.
EFSA will lead the network until March 2018 in close consultation with the so-called Troika which includes previous chairs - EUIPO (2016) and EUROFOUND (2015) - along with the agencies pertaining to the Network.
