"Madam President, the investigation of examples of maladministration on the part of the EU institutions constitutes an important aspect of the Ombudsman’s activities, because openness and transparency in the area of administration are among values inherent in the open societies of the Member States. This is why the European Parliament appoints the Ombudsman and supervises his work through the Committee on Petitions.
As is clear from the report for the previous year the highest number of complaints, and as many as 33% of enquiries which have been closed, still relate to the problem of public access to EU documents. Thus the activities of the Ombudsman’s office, their actions and advice do not translate, as would be expected, into a better quality of operation in the institutions against whom the complaints have been lodged. Certain parts of the report may actually serve to allay the concerns of the personnel in administrations responsible for poor performance, which prompts the question as to whether the allocation of huge sums to the work of the Ombudsman’s office is justified. Proceeding from these considerations I have abstained from the vote."@en1
