"I have voted in favour of this report, firstly because I believe that the role of the European Ombudsman is of enormous importance, especially considering the increasing distance, in decision-making processes, between the institutional bodies of the EU and the citizens of the Member States. Secondly, I wished to pay tribute the outstanding work of the outgoing Ombudsman, Jacob Söderman. Thirdly, because I support some of its most striking guidelines, specifically its call for the principles enshrined in the EU’s Code of Good Administrative Behaviour always to be applied and for the institutions to strictly apply Regulation 1049/2001/EC on public access to the documents of the European institutions.
Nevertheless, I feel bound to severely criticise the attempts made, also here, once again, to give what is known as the Charter of Fundamental Rights jurisdiction “by force”, in a move that can only be seen as an attack on the Rule of Law and on European democracy – if the IGC, the only body that has competence in this matter, has not taken such action, because it did not see fit, no Community organ, court or body has the right to do so, at the risk of seriously contravening the law."@en1
