lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, Ombudsman, ladies and gentlemen, the report by Ms Mazzoni shows that we should thank the Ombudsman for his work in the service of European citizens and for his cooperation with the European Parliament, especially the Committee on Petitions. I can point to a very precise example, which has struck me: in addition to about 1 800 ongoing petitions, in the Committee on Petitions we have to produce a special report regarding complaints against the Commission. I have established that, in the last 16 years, this very special instrument has been used only 18 times. This proves how accurately and objectively the Ombudsman and his team carry out their work. Nevertheless, I would like to point out two aspects I have noticed along the way. The first relates to the publicity work for the work of the Ombudsman, which could do with a boost. It seems to me that the 27 % of petitions processed that actually fell within his jurisdiction indicate, if we revert the argument, that almost three quarters of the petitions do not, and that it would be worthwhile raising people’s awareness here. On that point, in Austria the Ombudsmen broadcast on public television. The second point, regarding which I would be happy if in the next report progress were to be announced, is the Regulation on General Administrative Procedures. I would be happy to see binding minimum standards applied to the entire administration of the EU. I know that the Ombudsman is very active in this area. My best wishes for our – and especially his – continued, successful work."@en1
