No new Executive Agencies (EA) – using the current six

Coherent portfolio of programmes to be managed by each EA

Develop Executive Agencies of manageable size

No Commission’s legacy delegated to EAs Only some policy actions are kept "in-house"

Human resources in the EAs … according to Cost Benefit Study

Source: Common CBA – Final report – 19 August 2013

… Impact on the Commission

Constraint: • Keep overall budget neutrality

Means: • Increased EAs staffing to be compensated

Why a Common Support Centre for H2020 ?

FP7 user experience showed divergent practices in the different parts of the programme

of different implementing entities

FP evaluations identified inconsistency in the application of the FP rules or procedures

The EP and the Council, supported the recommendations of European Court of Auditors, called for consistent and uniform treatment of beneficiaries and a coherent management of the FP programmes
