"I welcome this report, which evaluates the Commission’s monitoring of the application of European Union law in 2009. It focuses on the fundamental role of the Commission as ‘Guardian of the Treaty’ and the Commission’s power and duty to bring infringement proceedings against a Member State that has failed to fulfil an obligation under the Treaty. It reiterates that the infringement procedure consists of two phases: the administrative (investigation) stage and the judicial stage before the Court of Justice. In the administrative phase, the role of citizens (complainants) in ensuring compliance with Union law on the ground is of paramount importance. Bringing Europe closer to its citizens and embracing techniques of good governance are intrinsically linked.
One of the areas of direct interaction between ‘Europe’ and the EU citizens is precisely the administrative phase of Article 258 TFEU, where citizens turn to the Commission and Parliament for help in order to access their European rights. As such, it is vital that complainants are treated according to principles of good administration."@en1
