Invites the Foundation to present a work programme which expresses its contribution in operational

23.
and measurable terms;

Considers the Foundation to be a source of important information for all EU institutions, for political

24.
decision-making and for the general public;

25.
Is worried that there was in 2005 no comprehensive document analysing the risks arising from the
financial and operational aspects of the Foundation's activities, nor a validation of the procedures introduced
by the Authorising Officers in order to ensure the accuracy and the exhaustivity of the financial information
it sent to the Accounting Officer, except as regards data-processing aspects;

Encourages the Foundation to continue its efforts to improve further its methods of communication
26.
in order to ensure that the public can be better informed about the findings of its studies and that the
public debate on important issues, such as the effects and causes of restructuring measures by companies, is
thereby enhanced.
