Open Public Consultation for the
Evaluation of the EU Agencies:
EUROFOUND, CEDEFOP, ETF and EUOSHA
Fields marked with * are mandatory.

Introduction

Welcome to the European Commission’s online public consultation on the evaluation of the four
Agencies under the remit of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion: the European Foundation
for the Improvement of Living and Working conditions (Eurofound); the European Centre for the
Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop); the European Training Foundation (ETF); and the
European Agency for Health and Safety at Work (EU-OSHA) .
This consultation aims to collect information and opinions on the work of these Agencies during the
period 2011-2016. It aims to involve the general public in the evaluation process as much as
stakeholders of the Agencies to ensure that the process remains inclusive, transparent, effective and
coherent. This public consultation also has the objective to gather new ideas on issues central to the
future of the Agencies, and to compare alternative policy options and possible impacts.
We encourage you to consult the background document as it provides important further details about
the four Agencies and the aims of this evaluation.
We welcome contributions from citizens, social partners, public and private organisations and public
authorities.
You can contribute to the assessment of all the agencies or just concentrate on the questions about
the Agency or Agencies that you know best.
You are free to upload a document (e.g. a position paper) at the end of the questionnaire.

45. Could you please indicate which overlaps you have in mind between Cedefop and other actors and

Skill needs are investigated on regional, national and EU-level by cedefop,
which is fine. On EU-Level overlap with Eurofound should be avoided.

ETF is making knowledge of the VET sector available to EU-neighbouring
countries. Overlap is indispensable. But no other organisation is helping
'hands on' like ETF does.

*Sharing support
services (human
resources, IT,

Eurofound, Cedefop,
EU-OSHA or ETF

*Merging those EU
agencies under the
remit of DG EMPL
(Eurofound, Cedefop,
EU-OSHA or ETF)
whose tasks are
overlapping, in order to
form larger
organisational entities

*Contracting out more
of the agencies’
activities to external
providers

*Stopping activities
with limited added
value (please specify
activities and Agency)

*Developing
mechanisms of joint
delivery (projects,
initiatives) between the
four agencies to exploit
synergies and
complementarities, and
to avoid duplications

*Delegating some of
the agencies’ activities
to other relevant EU
networks and
instruments

*Allocating additional
funding to the four
agencies

*Streamlining the
structure/ composition
of the four agencies’
Governing Boards

*Terminating
EUROFOUND and
employing the
necessary staff to
perform its roles and
activities by the
European Commission
or other agencies,
networks and
instruments

*50.a. Could you please tell us why and if possible, how?
All agencies have a specific role, or in the case of ETF, target group.
Discussions on governance have proven to be counterproductive.
EU OSHA is vital for the overall european dimension in the field of OSH.
Moreover we have to strive for synergy in activities (e.g. in the field of
research and monitoring).

* 50.b. What other options could you consider? Why?
Cedefop's European Skills panorama and similar projects on skills needs
/mismatches might be combined in order to enhance efficiency on EU-level.
