lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I am particularly pleased that while representing the newest wing of Parliament, I find that there is complete unanimity in recognising Mr Diamandouros’s work and his excellent cooperation with the Committee on Petitions. Praise is due to Mr Diamandouros, who worthily represents and serves an institution that contributes to the qualitative improvement of EU administration and the safeguarding of European citizens’ rights. According to the Ombudsman’s report, 2 510 petitions were registered in 2011, and the institution directly assisted more than 22 000 citizens. This is an excellent record, but I think this important institution should, in an appropriate way, be made more widely known to EU citizens, bearing in mind that 42 % of European citizens, according to a Eurobarometer report, are not satisfied with transparency in the EU administration. This is a necessary institution and its operation has so far been successful. As happens every year, of course, most of the inquiries conducted by the Ombudsman concerned the European Commission – about 58 % – and it is especially important that suitable measures should be designed to strengthen cooperation with the Commission in the interests of European citizens. Particularly in this difficult time of crisis for institutions and democratic values, I congratulate Mr Diamandouros on the excellent way in which he is performing his duties, just as I congratulate Ms Mazzoni, Chair of the Committee on Petitions, who facilitates good cooperation between the two bodies. I will also take this opportunity to sound an optimistic note and say that the crisis will pass. We need to restore citizens’ confidence in institutions and in the European Union."@en1
