"Mr President, I am speaking today on behalf of the Union for Europe of the Nations, but also as chairman of the Committee on Petitions. I am pleased that all those who have spoken on this item so far are members of that Committee, as indeed is the President chairing today’s proceedings. So we are very well acquainted with these issues.
Ladies and gentlemen, the reason for today’s report by Proinsias De Rossa, whom I congratulate on an excellent document, is a report from the European Ombudsman, with whom we, as the European Parliament’s Committee on Petitions, work together on a permanent basis. Our collaboration with the European Ombudsman is highly satisfactory. All of us come into daily contact with his work, since the Committee on Petitions is the body which Parliament has made responsible for relations with the Ombudsman.
All of us speaking on this item are aware that the length of proceedings is a nightmare for the European institutions, and therefore obviously also a nightmare for the citizens of Europe. We must accordingly call on the European Commission to make every effort to carry out all the duties imposed on it more rapidly.
I would stress the crucial point in Proinsias De Rossa’s report, namely the first paragraph, which states that ‘the European Parliament endorses the European Ombudsman’s recommendation to the Commission.’ Parliament endorses the Ombudsman’s recommendation, as it usually does, because, as usual, we consider his demands and arguments well-founded."@en1
