"This report, drafted by Ms Iotova, concerns the Annual Report on the European Ombudsman’s activities in 2010. It is the first report drafted by the European Ombudsman, Nikiforos Diamandouros, since being sworn into office before the Court of Justice on 25 October 2010, following his re-election. The institution of the European Ombudsman, chaired by Mr Diamandouros, celebrated its 15th anniversary in September 2010. In these 15 years the institution has dealt with more than 36 000 complaints and completed more than 3 800 inquiries into possible maladministration in the activities of EU institutions, concerning instances ‘when a public body fails to act in accordance with a rule or principle which is binding upon it’. One of the main complaints is the difficulty that citizens experience accessing EU documents. Even though it is understood that confidential documentation exists, the institutions cannot make things more difficult for the public in this respect. I welcome the adoption of this report, and hope that the Ombudsman will be able to achieve the objectives set out in the new strategy for his 2009-2014 mandate, and that the European public will be better informed of his role."@en1
