Summary: The European Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, published on the 26 May 2016 practical advice for EU officials on interacting with interest representatives in a guide called Practical recommendations for public officials’ interaction with interest representatives. The Dos and Don’ts list will help ensure that public officials do not inadvertently breach ethical norms. The list should also help the interest representatives by clarifying what is appropriate thereby making sure that the interactions are positive and open for everyone involved. Further information: The European Ombudsman investigates complaints about maladministration in the EU institutions, agencies and bodies. Any EU citizen, resident, or an enterprise or association in the EU, can lodge a complaint with the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman's powers include the right to inspect EU documents, call officials to testify, and to open strategic inquiries on her own initiative. The guide was published at the same time as the European Ombudsman's Annual Report 2016. |
