EU Agencies Chairmanship Handover in Warsaw

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.

In communications, an emphasis will be placed on promoting the important work and expertise of the Agencies and JUs for all citizens, from security and fundamental rights, through health and food safety, to innovation and financial stability.
