European Parliament
David Martin  (S&D ),
in writing.
– I voted to give discharge to the European Food Safety Authority while noting that Parliament ‘[f]inds it unacceptable that while the management board of the authority consists of only 15 members, each meeting costs, on average, EUR 92 630, which represents an amount of EUR 6 175 per member; underlines that this amount is nearly three times higher than the second most expensive management board of a decentralised agency; is of the opinion that the management board meeting costs are excessive and should be reduced drastically; calls on the authority and its management board to remedy the situation immediately and to inform the discharge authority of the measures undertaken by 30 June 2012’.
