50 Agencias de la UE publican por primera vez sus gastos de viajes | Access Info Europe
"TRANSPARENCY IS THE NEW STANDARD FIFTY EU AGENCIES RELEASE THEIR TRAVEL EXPENSES"
For the first time, fifty European Union agencies have made transparent their presidents’ and directors’ travel expenses. The data, which covers all expenses for all missions for the whole of 2016, was released in response to a series of freedom of information requests filed by Access Info Europe.

They are established and created to carry out specific tasks, such as the supervision of the banking sector (European Banking Authority), promotion of gender equality (European Institute for Gender Equality), law enforcement (Europol), or control and surveillance of the EU’s external borders (European Border and Coast Guard Agency, known as Frontex).
