Det er alt sammen meget godt, men oprettelse af et stort antal nye EU-agenturer (tallet er tredoblet siden 2000) og udvidelse af deres ansvarsområde er helt klart i strid med Lissabonstrategiens forsøg på at indføre mere deregulering og subsidiaritet.
That is all very well, but establishing large numbers of new EU agencies (the figure has tripled since 2000) and expanding their remit clearly goes against the attempts of the Lisbon Strategy to introduce more deregulation and subsidiarity.
