The office of the European Ombudsman in Strasbourg is responsible for the whole of the European Union and investigates allegations of maladministration in connection with the activities of the Union’s bodies, institutions and other offices. The Ombudsman’s activities are based on Article 8d and Article 138e of the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Decision of the European Parliament (‘Statute of the European Ombudsman’) of 9 March 1994 on the regulations and general conditions governing the performance of the Ombudsman’s duties. In 2010 alone, the office received 2 267 complaints, 326 of which were conclusively investigated. Twelve investigations were carried out on the Ombudsman’s own initiative. The most frequent complaints concern a lack of transparency, with Germany filing the most complaints, followed by Spain. Sixty-four temporary posts and a budget of around EUR 9 million were agreed for the period 2009-2014 in order to improve the work of the Ombudsman. I abstained from voting because I believe that the general population, above all, is not adequately informed of the activities of the Ombudsman."@en1
