"I voted in favour of this text, which presents and evaluates the European Ombudsman’s annual report.
Having an intermediary between the citizens and the European institutions allows the people to flag up shortcomings and cases of maladministration. It turns out to be a useful asset when trying to strengthen links between citizens and institutions and to promote democracy.
This annual report, laid down in the texts, demonstrates the importance that the European Parliament accords to matters of citizenship and good administration. It is the role of the European Parliament to evaluate this work, to make suggestions for improvements and to identify new goals.
Amongst its objectives, the report mentions two that are of interest to me: the improvement of citizen access to documents so that they can understand the work of their elected representatives, and the drafting of a document on public services with the aim of introducing a public service culture into the European Union.
It remains to be seen what practical follow-up there will be to this report. Nevertheless, I remain more sceptical about this."@en1
