Recital 48 a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(48a) National Agencies play a central role in implementing the Programme. Their proximity to beneficiaries and their knowledge of national contexts mean they are well-placed to perform functions that go beyond administrative management. They enable proximity to beneficiaries, outreach to newcomers and small organisations, and effective consideration of regional, cultural and linguistic diversity, including in border regions. To give effect to the individual accessibility support fund and the Programme's broader inclusion objectives, National Agencies should be strengthened in their capacity to act as centres of personalised guidance and advice. In Member States whose constitutional or governance structures require it, the possibility to designate more than one national agency should be maintained, as it supports efficient programme delivery, reinforces inclusion and local impact, and preserves the Programme’s grassroots character.
