(11)On 12 November 2013 the Commission published the report of Philippe Maystadt, special advisor to the Commissioner responsible for internal market and services (the ‘special advisor’s report’), in which he outlined potential reforms to EFRAG governance aimed at reinforcing the Union’s contribution to the development of international accounting standards. In order to achieve the expected objectives of the co-financing programme established by this Regulation (the ‘Programme’), it is necessary that arrangements for governance are revised in line with the recommendations set out in the special advisor’s report and that those reforms are implemented without delay. The Commission should monitor the implementation of the reform of EFRAG governance and inform the European Parliament and the Council of the progress in its implementation. To this end, the Commission should submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the implementation of the governance reform by 31 March 2014.
