"Mr President, Mr Diamandouros, Commissioner, honourable Members of the Committee on Petitions of the European Parliament, thank you for this informative report from an institution which was established for the citizens of Europe. In numerical terms, the report on the background to the maladministration in the context of the activities of the EU institutions is proof of the importance of the work of the Ombudsman.
The analyses contained in the report, which call for more transparency and improvements, greater speed and a change in the often authoritarian approach taken in many areas of the Commission administration, speak for themselves.
I want to focus on one aspect of the report, however, which is of more fundamental significance than might appear at first sight. This is the fact that there has been a decrease in complaints of almost 15% between 2009 and 2010, a positive figure which, however, begs the question whether our national governments and institutions have done, and are continuing to do, all they can to ensure that our citizens throughout Europe are sufficiently aware of this institution and the direct channel to the Committee on Petitions. I doubt the determination of our Member States in this regard."@en1
