lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I really appreciated this evening’s debate. I feel it was a practical example of how we can create good civic cooperation networks which can produce results. The speeches by all members of the Committee on Petitions have shown how widely accepted the analysis of the European Ombudsman’s work is and, more importantly, how broad is the support for the objectives of that work. There is undoubtedly a kind of synergy and osmosis between the two bodies, which makes it easier for us to share one another’s best practices. We will therefore be attempting to copy the Ombudsman’s experience of putting his services online in order to move closer to citizens, if not physically, at least through the new technologies available, and also to be more efficient. The Ombudsman will certainly be drawing closer to us too, as he has done at other times, by supporting the petitions of citizens that have been forwarded to the Ombudsman in error and that actually fall within the Committee on Petitions’ remit. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Ombudsman who, correctly and appropriately as always, reiterated the prerogatives of the Committee on Petitions by crucially referring back to us some complaints, or I think perhaps it was one complaint, made by a citizen about the conduct of the Committee on Petitions, which I represent, thereby giving further confirmation of the straightforwardness and transparency of our relations. I am very grateful to Commissioner Šefčovič for his timely presence here, for the hard work he does every day, and I have no doubt that the wishes he has expressed are extremely sincere and that they are also achievable as far as he is concerned. Sadly, over the years I have noticed that, despite its good intentions, the Commission is still slow to adapt to the genuine need for greater simplification, greater immediacy, and a closer relationship that are expressed by citizens in the complaints received each day by the Ombudsman and the Committee on Petitions. It is about this not particularly positive fact that I plead for the hundredth time with Commissioner Šefčovič, who I know is committed to looking after the interests of European citizens."@en1
