lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Söderman, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the rapporteurs for their hard, thorough and excellent work. The Ombudsman controls power and solves disputes between those who hold power and those over whom power is exercised, and last year there were almost two thousand such cases. I would like to state seven principles. The bigger a union is, the greater the need for transparency. The newer it is the greater this need is, and the more complex it is, the greater the need for better transparency. The more oriented it is towards the information society, the more open it has to be, and the more civilised it is the more public it must be. The more multi-cultural it is the greater the transparency, and the more democratic it is the more open it likewise is. We are used to reading instructions for use with all equipment, down to how to use the whisk in the kitchen. The principles of good administration, which have been worthily established by the Ombudsman, are our citizens’ instructions for use with regard to Eurobureaucracy. And, goodness me, these instructions certainly are necessary! There is no democracy without good administration, and that is why the Union Charter must contain the principles of good administration. I would like to make one more important point. Public access to documents in the information society and the principles concerning them must be upgraded in line with the new technology; in other words, a grievance must be able to be made over the Internet and precedents and associated documents must be available in real time. My suggestion is that we need an Ombudsman’s portal on the Net. Thank you for your work!"@en1
