"Mr President, I would just pick up on this and thank Peter Jahr for those clarifying comments on two very important issues on which the Committee on Petitions has worked but has not reached a conclusion. I would suggest that where there is a specific large problem affecting many citizens, perhaps we could look at setting up a special temporary committee of inquiry. It worked with Equitable Life – it took a long time to get results but at least it did have an effect.
Can I also say that the first port of call for many citizens when they have a problem with the European Union or indeed back home, is their MEP, and some MEPs are more accessible than others. We would direct where appropriate our citizens to the Committee on Petitions. There also is the Pilot projects initiative which works between the Commission and the Member State. While I have had some good experience where this works effectively, I do not think it is open or transparent enough because I have had another experience where nothing happened and we had to go to the Ombudsman. So, much good work has been done, but there is more to do."@en1
