"Mr President, first of all, I should like to congratulate the European Ombudsman on the record number of inquiries closed in 2008. I am sure that his new Statute will enable him to work even more effectively and to respond quickly to the citizens’ complaints, by strengthening the mutual confidence between the Ombudsman and the citizens.
The Ombudsman’s priority must be to prevent maladministration. I am sorry to say that we have made very little progress along these lines. Nevertheless, I hope that, with the entry into force of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and with the Treaty of Lisbon, this aspect will be strengthened.
The second challenge will be to continue promoting transparency within the European institutions. The third challenge, in the years to come, will be the introduction of information campaigns to ensure that our citizens are one hundred per cent aware of their rights.
Lastly, the European Network of Ombudsmen is an important platform for cooperation and for the exchange of best practices among the various countries. Bulgaria actively participates in this network. Not only has it acquired the necessary experience, it has also increased the influence of this institution in recent years."@en1
