At the same time the new Financial Regulation applicable to the Agency should be adopted in accordance to Article 183 of the Treaty. The capital of the Agency and the possibility, foreseen in the Treaty, to apply a charge on transactions, should be maintained.
 

(3)

The new Statutes of the Agency should be adapted to the situation of an enlarged European Union. In particular, the size of the Agency’s Advisory Committee should be changed in order to improve its operation and efficiency,
