I voted in favour of this report, in which the European Parliament welcomes the activities of the European Ombudsman in 2010. The European Ombudsman performs the very important function of informing European Union citizens of the opportunities available to them to lodge complaints concerning maladministration by EU institutions. For example, last year most complaints were about a lack of transparency, public procurement and grants and the staff of EU institutions. I am pleased that many complaints were resolved amicably in 2010, which again reveals the effectiveness of the Ombudsman and his proper cooperation with other institutions. I appreciate the fact that the European Ombudsman strives to maintain an ongoing dialogue with complainants. This is very important given that the Lisbon Treaty has strengthened the role of dialogue with citizens. For the Ombudsman institution, which examines complaints, constant contact with people is essential. It is also crucial that the Ombudsman each year publishes on his website a study on the institutions’ follow-up to his remarks and criticism."@en1
