lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the Jäätteenmäki report on the statute of the European Ombudsman. As a member of the European Parliament’s Committee on Petitions, I have seen for myself that an enormous, and growing, number of citizens are turning to the Community institutions to appeal against the failure of Member States to comply with EU rules. Very often the petitions submitted to Parliament, and examined by the committee responsible, cannot be deemed admissible. Here I would take up one key point: the office of the European Ombudsman must work harder and better on its external communications with citizens. Very often the ordinary person is unaware even of the existence of the Ombudsman, potentially a means of creating a more functional and efficient link with the EU institutions. The statute on which we are voting today sets out new mechanisms to bolster the effectiveness of the Ombudsman’s work. It will be up to us MEPs to monitor the outcomes."@en1
