Agencies' buildings This note summarises the replies supplied by the decentralised agencies to a questionnaire on their buildings 1. The questionnaire is attached at annex 1. The replies are summarised in annexes 2 and 3. Annex 2 summarises information provided on building ownership, size, purchase/rental costs, rights in rem and VAT exemption. Annex 3 provides information on the selection procedure, the condition of the buildings, additional facilities, agencies' future building plans and details of any other contract partners. The full replies to the questionnaire can be found in a separate document "Agencies' buildings: replies by the agencies to a European Parliament questionnaire". The agencies have provided details of the buildings occupied both in the Member State in which they are located: four agencies have provided details of buildings they also occupy in Brussels (CEDEFOP, EUROFOUND, OHIM and EU-OSHA). GSA is also currently located in Brussels pending a decision on its seat. Seven agencies (EUROFOUND, EMCDDA, OHIM, EU-OSHA, CDT, EFSA, ERA) occupy more than one building in the Member State in which they are based. Ownership Seven agencies occupy buildings owned by the agency itself or the European Commission. The following agencies occupy buildings that owned by themselves/the EC: CEDEFOP, EUROFOUND, EMCDDA, OHIM, CPVO. The following agencies occupy buildings owned by the EC: CDT, GSA. The following agencies rent/lease buildings from public authorities in the Member States: EUROFOUND (concerning premises in both Dublin and Brussels), ETF, CDT, CEPOL, EFSA, EUROJUST, EMSA, ENISA, CFCA. The following agencies rent/lease buildings from others: EEA, EMCDDA, EMEA, OHIM, EU-OSHA, FRA, EFSA, EASA, ECDC, ERA, FRONTEX, ECHA. Only the EMCDDA and the ECHA have indicated that there exists a possibility of buying the buildings they currently rent/plan to rent. In the case of the EMCDDA this concerns the building they are planning to move into from their current premises, and would be only in the case that the building was removed from the public domain. 1 The information in this study is based on the situation of the various agencies at the time the replies to the questionnaire were drafted. Modifications that may have occurred since are thus not reflected here. Page 5 of 21

Size The size of the premises occupied by the agencies varies significantly. Taking account of all the buildings occupied by an agency in the Member State concerned, OHIM has by far the largest premises, at 65.249. In comparison, the second biggest agency, EMEA, occupies 17.724. Only one other agency, EASA, occupies more than 10.000. The rest all occupy between 1.000 and 9.000, except CEPOL, which only occupies 780. The ranking changes, however, when the size of agencies per member of staff are compared. According to this measure, the FRA has the most space, with 113 per member of staff, followed by OHIM with 101. The rest all have significantly less than 100 per member of staff. ECHA comes in at the bottom of the scale with only 15 per member of staff. Table 1 Size of agency buildings Agency size, no of staff 2 /staff CEPOL 780 22,5 35 GSA 1.523 50 30 CPVO 1.968 43 46 EU-OSHA 2.266 44 52 CFCA 2.500 49 51 ENISA 2.632 44 60 ERA 2.651 116 23 EUROFOUND 3.000 101 30 ECHA 3.250 220 15 EMCDDA 4.139 82 50 FRONTEX 4.340 94 46 CDT 4.968 233 21 FRA 5.546 49 113 ETF 6.000 96 63 EMSA 7.031 181 39 CEDEFOP 7.145 99 72 EFSA 7.490 335 22 EEA 7.881 123 64 ECDC 8.000 130 62 EUROJUST 8.694 175 50 EASA 14.700 452 33 2 2008 figures as detailed in the background documents to the 28 May 2008 meeting with the decentralised agencies. These figures show the number of staff in the 2008 budget establishment plan - they do not take account of staff not included in the establishment plan such as contract agents, national experts, consultants, trainees etc. Page 6 of 21

Agency size, no of staff 2 /staff EMEA 17.724 481 37 OHIM 65.249 643 101 EUROFOUND has an additional 100 of office space in Brussels, OHIM has 71, CEDEFOP has 35 and EU-OSHA has 15. Compared to the size of these agencies in terms of total staff (as detailed in table 1 above), EUROFOUND is renting the largest amount of office space in Brussels and OHIM the least. Cost The table below provides details of the cost of the premises bought by the agencies, and the date the purchases took place. Table 2 Cost of buildings owned by agencies, per Agency cost when purchased CEDEFOP 1.275 1995-1999 EUROFOUND 3.643 1992 EMCDDA 1.214 1995 OHIM 641 2001 CPVO 2.780 1998 CPVO 4.000 2005 The following table contains details of the monthly rents paid by the agencies at their seats in euro per. The agencies are listed in order of the rent paid, from the least expensive to the most expensive. Where agencies rent more than one building, the different rents paid are shown separately, so there is more than one entry for some agencies. Care should be taken, however, in comparing the rents paid since for some agencies the rent also includes other items such as furniture, utilities etc. The replies to the questionnaire from the agencies contain further details, which are summarised in the annexes to this note.

Table 3 Rents paid by agencies at seats, per per month Agency location rent CEPOL Bramshill 0,0 ENISA Heraklion 0,0 ETF Torino 0,1 EUROFOUND Dublin 0,2 OHIM Alicante 7,4 ERA Valenciennes 8,0 CDT Luxembourg 10,1 FRA Vienna 11,0 ERA Lille 12,6 EFSA Parma 12,9 EUROJUST Den Haag 13,0 EFSA Parma 13,3 EFSA Parma 13,3 OHIM Alicante 14,8 EMSA Lisbon 15,1 ECDC Stockholm 15,8 EEA Copenhagen 15,9 EEA Copenhagen 16,3 EFSA Parma 19,1 EU-OSHA Bilbao 19,4 CFCA Vigo 20,3 EU-OSHA Bilbao 21,0 EASA Cologne 21,0 EMCDDA Lisbon 21,5 ECHA Helsinki 23,5 FRONTEX Warsaw 24,5 CDT Luxembourg 24,8 GSA Brussels 28,0 EMEA London 37,5 Four agencies pay no or virtually no rent for rented premises in the Member States: CEPOL in Bramshill, ENISA in Heraklion, the ETF in Torino and Eurofound in Dublin. At the other end of the scale, the offices rented by the London-based EMEA are the most expensive, followed by the GSA in Brussels and the CDT in Luxembourg. As well as occupying premises at their seat, four agencies also rent offices in Brussels. The GSA has its seat temporarily in Brussels pending a decision on its definitive location, and is included in both tables 3 and 4 for comparative purposes. Page 8 of 21

Table 4 Rents paid by agencies in Brussels, per per month Agency rent OHIM 13,0 EUROFOUND 14,9 CEDEFOP 19,0 GSA 28,0 EU-OSHA 128,8 Note that the rents paid by the GSA and EU-OSHA include the provision of furniture, heating, lighting, cleaning, reception services, internet provision and so on. Indexing of the rents paid by the majority of agencies takes place annually (EASA, biennially), mostly in line with increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). For EU- OSHA's Brussels office, the rent is revised annually in line with inflation + 3%. For EFSA, rent increases are restricted to 75% of the national inflation index and for the CDT's Euroforum building rented from the EC the increase is set at 2% p.a. There is no indexing of the rent paid by the CFCA for its provisional building. EMEA's rent is reviewed every 5 years in line with market conditions. Rights in rem In the buildings occupied by EUROFOUND and OHIM in Brussels, EMEA, CDT, EMSA, EASA, and the ECHA the charges paid to the landlord cover maintenance/operating. Charges paid by OHIM in Brussels and the ECDC also include energy costs. Regarding renovation/structural works, for EUROFOUND this is provided by the landlord regarding its Brussels offices, and support is sought from the Irish government regarding its Dublin premises. EEA, EFSA, ECDC and FRONTEX pay for such works themselves. FRA will make a contribution of 834.447 to costs paid by the building owner of over 3 million. VAT exemption All agencies benefit from VAT exemption. However, EUROJUST's exemption is restricted to a VAT compensation on the rent of 3,1%, EMSA's exemption is restricted to bills of minimum 100, and ETF is not exempt from payment of taxes on public services eg waste management. On the other hand, a number of agencies benefit from further exemptions in addition to exemption from VAT on goods and services related to their premises. The EEA is Page 9 of 21

exempt from property tax. The ETF may purchase official cars free of tax and duty free fuel for them. The EMCDDA is exempt from payment of all national, regional and municipal rates and taxes regarding the fixed assets it owns or rents. EMEA is exempt from all direct taxes. CEPOL is exempt from fuel duties, local taxes and air taxes and duties. EASA is exempt from turnover tax. Selection procedure Regarding the buildings owned by the agencies, both CEDEFOP and EURFOUND bought the only building offered by the Member State. CPVO used a negotiated procedure and made its selection from among 2 offers. OHIM made a selection from among 7 offers following an open tender. The Commission services drew up a short list of 2 choices for the EMCDDA from among 18 locations proposed by the Portuguese government. Regarding agencies that are renting, the majority are in buildings proposed by the Member States: EEA, ETF, CEPOL, EUROJUST, EMSA, EASA, ENISA, ERA and CFCA. Of these, only EMSA, EASA and CFCA were offered a choice of possible buildings. EMEA, CDT and GSA are in buildings organized by the Commission. EU-OSHA, FRA and FRONTEX selected their buildings by negotiated procedure from among a number of alternatives. EFSA, ECDC and ECHA used private companies to survey the market and suggest possible sites. Condition The age and condition of the buildings occupied by the agencies varies considerably. EUROFOUND, EMSA, EASA and FRONTEX highlight the energy efficiency of the buildings they occupy. CEDEFOP considers that considerable investment for repair of its building will be necessary due to progressive cracking. The CDT and the ERA do not consider the buildings they occupy to be of sufficient standard. Additional facilities Most agencies have refreshment facilities and meeting/conference rooms. Many also mention storage and parking spaces. In addition, CEDEFOP, EMCDDA, EMEA and FRA have a library/documentation centre; OHIM and FRA have training rooms; the EMCDDA mentions translation booths; CEDEFOP has a daycare centre; and OHIM has a convenience store and a gym.

Future plans Current needs are satisfied by the premises occupied by EUROFOUND, CPVO and FRA. CEDEFOP, EEA, OHIM, CEPOL, EASA, FRONTEX and ECHA plan to increase capacity at their present premises. The following agencies also consider that they need more space: EU-OSHA, EUROJUST and GSA. EMCDDA and EMSA are due to leave their current premises and move into new shared premises in 2009. The ECDC is considering plans for a new construction as its current premises are not suitable. Construction by Valenciennes metropole of a new site for ERA is due to be completed in spring 2009. CFCA is due to move to its definitive building, provided by the Spanish Government for a symbolic rent, in 2010 (or stay in its current premises rent free is the new building is not ready in time). Construction of EFSA's definitive premises is due to be completed by 2011; the building will be purchased from the municipality through a lease with option to buy. CDT is considering options to buy/rent new premises after 2011. Other contract partners EASA sub-lets part of one floor of its building to the Joint Aviation Authorities Liaison Office. EMEA sublet one floor to Electronic Data Systems Limited in 2008 - this lease came to end on 1.1.2009. The EMCDDA will sub-let part of a building to be shared with EMSA to the Jacques Delors European Information Centre. Page 11 of 21
