EU - dvs. vi - må anstrenge os voldsomt for at kunne begå os i den teknologiske konkurrence med de andre økonomiske områder, men - og det er det afgørende - jeg vil gerne endnu en gang opfordre Kommissionen til at kontrollere de 32 agenturer, dette er endnu et, for at se, om de er hensigtsmæssige og effektive, så at sige gennemføre et sundhedstjek for agenturerne, og lukke agenturer, som ikke længere er hensigtsmæssige og ikke arbejder effektivt, til glæde for skatteyderne.
The European Union - and therefore we - must work very hard to be able to hold our own successfully in technological competition with the other economic areas, but - and I now come to the crucial point - I should like to ask the Commission once again to check the 32 agencies, and this again is one of them, as to their purpose and efficiency, to carry out a sort of health check for agencies and also to shut down agencies that are no longer expedient and not working efficiently in the taxpayers' interest.
