In the interests of efficiency, the staff of the Agency Secretariat should perform essentially
technical-administrative and scientific tasks without calling on the scientific and technical
resources of the Member States. The Excutive Director should ensure the efficient
excution of the Agency's tasks in an independent manner. To ensure that the Agency
fulfils its role, the composition of the Management Board should be designed to represent
each Member State, the Commission and other interested parties appointed by the
Commission in order to ensure the involvement of stakeholders, and the European
Parliament and to secure the highest standard of competence and a broad range of relevant
expertise in chemicals safety or the regulation of chemicals, whilst ensuring that there is
relevant expertise in the field of general financial and legal matters.
