lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to say something about the proposed modification of Article 3 of the Ombudsman’s Statute, in other words Mrs Garrett’s report. We feel that giving access to all the classified documents from a Member State without the consent of that Member State, even if the documents could concern diplomatic or defence issues, is a very dangerous precedent, especially if this revision is in some way imposed on the Member States. The perverse result of this measure, if it were adopted, would obviously be that the Member States would be encouraged to retain classified documents rather than passing them on to Community bodies, and this is why my group cannot support this proposal. At present, with regard to the Bösch report, we do not entirely share Mr Bösch’s optimism on the analysis of the activity of the European Ombudsman. It is true that the work done by Mr Söderman’s department seems quite remarkable given the modesty of their resources. However, just over 1 700 complaints received in 2000, of which only 297 have been declared admissible, does not demonstrate good administration by the institutions of Europe, it shows above all a lack of information to citizens on their means of defence against some aspects of Brussels bureaucracy. As for the tenor of the complaints lodged, which were mainly against the Commission, we feel they are symptomatic: refusal of information, lack of transparency, delayed payment, abuse of power, injustice and even discrimination are the main grievances. It is on the basis of these grievances that I think we should continue our discussion."@en1
