"I voted in favour of Mrs Paliadeli’s report as I believe it presents a complete, detailed overview of what the European Ombudsman does in terms of handling and resolving citizens’ complaints.
At the same time, I want to congratulate Mr Diamandouros for the work he has done throughout 2008 and for the record number of inquiries and cases resolved. The European Ombudsman is an extremely important institution as it brings the European Union closer to its citizens. This mediator ensures that the European Union’s institutions and bodies operate in its citizens’ interest in a transparent, fair, proper and non-discriminatory manner, and in total compliance with procedures.
The number of complaints registered in 2008, considered inadmissible, is extremely high and is on the rise compared with previous years. This is why I think that proper, continuous, dynamic information campaigns need to be run in every Member State. As European citizens do not know the best person to contact when their rights are breached, they very often contact the European Ombudsman without good reason. However, the European Ombudsman can resolve only the cases of maladministration involving the work of the European Union’s institutions. Cooperation between the European Ombudsman and EU institutions must be improved."@en1
