Summary: The European Ombudsman published in July 2009 the annual report covering the activities of his office for the year 2008. Further information: The most common allegation examined by the European Ombudsman, P. Nikiforos Diamandouros, in 2008 was lack of transparency in the EU administration (36% of inquiries). This included the refusal of information or documents. Other types of alleged maladministration concerned late payments for EU projects, unfairness, abuse of power and discrimination. To ensure that the report responds to the needs of its many readers, the Ombudsman reflects each year on how it can be improved. Recent, key innovations to the report include the introduction of an Executive Summary, case summaries, and a thematic analysis of inquiries. Also, the summary version for 2008 is called 'Overview 2008' and replaces the previously entitled summaries called 'Executive Summary and Statistics'. |
