Like the rapporteur, I endorse the ratification of the annual report on the activities of the European Ombudsman for the year 2003, covering the latter part of the activities of the previous incumbent in the post and the first months of the current European Ombudsman’s activities.
I should like to highlight the previous Ombudsman’s efforts towards public access to Community documents, towards total transparency in recruitment competitions, and in advocating that all Community acts directly concerning the general public have a proper basis. I should also like to emphasise the importance of putting forward a European Code of Good Administrative Behaviour, which only the Commission has yet to adopt.
As regards the current Ombudsman, there are also positive signs, not least the appreciable increase in the number of complaints duly dealt with (30% in 2004).
Lastly, the document notes that the general public is not aware of the Ombudsman’s activities, given that an overwhelming percentage of complaints fall outside his competence. This only serves to demonstrate the need to support the various solutions which have been enshrined at EU level and which, in practice, fall short of what is required both in terms of the reasons why they were put forward and in terms of their own intrinsic value."@en1
