"The Ombudsman, whose status is founded on Article 228 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, functions as a safeguard for the EU public in its interactions with the EU institutions, as set out in Article 43 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It is a public office with two essential functions: firstly, it is a way to settle conflicts without resorting to official control bodies like the courts; secondly, it makes their status activus libertatis a reality, which is desirable for the EU public. The time of the Ombudsman’s submission of his annual report is always an ideal time to draw out lessons for the future. As such, EU policy must continue in the direction of supporting this office and seeking to disseminate information on its activities and functions. This is especially important since, in countries like Portugal, which do not have a tradition of an Ombudsman, the public are all too often not aware of this resource. On the other hand, it is also important to create a climate of cooperation between the EU institutions, so as to maximise the Ombudsman’s contribution. As these points have been vetted by Parliament, I voted for this report."@en1
