I voted in favour of the report by Mr De Rossa ().
I feel that the Ombudsman’s role in fostering accountability and democratic responsibility in the EU’s decision-making processes and in the administration of the EU represents a major contribution towards a Union in which decision-making is as genuinely close to the citizens as possible.
Let us not forget that Parliament adopted unanimously the European Union Code of Good Administrative Behaviour and that the Commission has not adopted that Code. Furthermore, following a request from the European Ombudsman to amend the provisions of the Ombudsman’s Statute concerning his right of access to documents and the hearing of witnesses, Parliament recommended amending those provisions, but they have yet to be amended due to reservations on the part of the Commission and the Council.
The Ombudsman’s role has had the positive effect of informing the citizens of their rights and obligations concerning the European Institutions. This House must therefore make every effort to hold a joint review of the Ombudsman’s Statute with the aim of making it more efficient and better able to address the citizens’ requests."@en1
