lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the EU Ombudsman has a central role in making the European institutions more open and transparent and should defend citizens’ right to have access to documents, as also affirmed in the report that we have voted on. However, the reality – according to a recent survey commissioned by Parliament and the European Ombudsman on citizens’ rights – is that they know rather little about what their rights are. The results of the Eurobarometer survey show that the right to move and reside freely within the Union is one of the best-known rights and the most important according to the majority of survey participants. Meanwhile, the right to submit a complaint to the European Ombudsman is only third among the rights known by EU citizens. Moreover, 85% of participants said that they do not feel informed about the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Therefore, in congratulating Mr Diamandouros on his re-election in January 2010 to the post of European Ombudsman, as well as for the 36 000 complaints dealt with and the completion of more than 3 800 inquiries in the 15 years that this institution has existed, we have voted in favour of this measure. However, we did wonder whether providing citizens with more information on their rights – which is what they want and what they are asking for – would not, perhaps, in hindsight, be just as efficient a way to resolve their complaints."@en1
