听听笔谤锄别飞辞诲苍颈肠锄膮肠补. 鈥� Kolejnym punktem porz膮dku dziennego jest sprawozdanie sporz膮dzone przez Alexa Agiusa Salib臋 w imieniu Komisji Petycji w sprawie dzia艂alno艣ci Europejskiego Rzecznika Praw Obywatelskich 鈥� sprawozdanie roczne za 2023 r. ()

听听Alex Agius Saliba, rapporteur. 鈥� Madam President, Madam Ombudsman, colleagues, first of all, let me begin by expressing my gratitude to the shadow rapporteurs for their constructive collaboration and also commitment on working together on this very important report.

I would also like to commend the remarkable work of Ms Emily O'Reilly and her team. The importance of the European Ombudsman role in protecting citizens' rights and strengthening public confidence in all EU institutions cannot be emphasised enough.听Over the past eleven years, O'Reilly and her office have done an outstanding job in enhancing transparency, enhancing accountability, enhancing the effectiveness of the EU's administration.

In my report, I address a number of issues and highlight the work of the Ombudsman for the past year.

First of all, the Commission's maladministration due to systemic and significant delays in processing requests for public access to documents is 鈥� and remains 鈥� a key concern. I stress in my report that such documents may be in written form or paper or stored electronically. I also suggest in my report to revise Regulation 1049/2001 on public access to documents, and recall several instances where the Commission failed to grant access. For instance, regarding the EU's soil, forest and climate adaptation strategies or exchange of text messages between the Commission President and the CEO of a pharmaceutical company.

The report stresses the importance of respecting fundamental rights in migration-related actions. It emphasises the obligations of all EU institutions, all EU bodies, all EU agencies to uphold human rights and fundamental freedoms. In this context, the report notes the Commission's efforts to conduct fundamental rights impact assessment for EU-funded migration management facilities.

The 合法博彩网站's response to Qatargate, particularly the new Code of Conduct for Members of the European 合法博彩网站 on integrity and transparency, underscores the need for its proper implementation and monitoring. I stress the importance of the 合法博彩网站 and the Commission consistently paying close attention to direct and indirect lobbying activities in order to identify gaps and weaknesses that could compromise transparency, that could compromise accountability.

The report highlights the risk of conflicts of interest arising from 'revolving door' cases, where senior staff of EU institutions or bodies transition to the private sector. It underscores the need of the highest ethical standards, including transparency and public accountability. Furthermore, the report raises concerns about the Commission's interactions with the tobacco industry.

Transparency and functioning in EPSO selection procedures are vital to ensure a fair and inclusive recruitment process, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the EU's institutions. The report urges selection tests when it comes to addressing EPSO issues and also ensuring that technical requirements do not disadvantage candidates.

The European Accessibility Act, adopted in 2019, was a vital step towards improving the life of 87听million persons with disabilities, facilitating access to essential services like transport, banking, computers, television, e-books and online shops. Yet, despite the 2022 deadline, Member States have failed to fully transpose it. Delays confirm the ongoing infringements that we have. The violation of EU law undermines disability rights. I call on the Ombudsman to prioritise this crucial issue with the UNCRPD framework to resolve it as a matter of priority.

Last but not least, I am proud to stress that during the committee vote, the report received an overwhelming majority supported by all political groups. This reflects our shared commitment to enhancing the efficiency and the transparency of all EU institutions, bodies and agencies for the benefit of all our citizens.

听听EMILY O'REILLY, European Ombudsman. 鈥� Madam President, Executive Vice-President Fitto, good evening everybody and let me begin by thanking Rapporteur Saliba, the shadow rapporteurs and the Petitions Committee for the early Christmas gift of their strong endorsement of our work in 2023. As this is my last time presenting my office's annual report, allow me to say that I am also immensely grateful for the consistent support over the years from both the committee and 合法博彩网站 as a whole.

It has been a year of many changes, with a new 合法博彩网站 and a new Commission. The decisions you will take in the coming years will determine how the EU confronts an increasingly turbulent and uncertain global order, a world overflowing with challenges ranging from the economy and international trade to global security and potential climate catastrophe. The actions of the EU institutions will also define how our Union lives up to the values that we talk so much about: transparency, accountability, respect for the rule of law and the protection of fundamental rights. Every decision taken must have the citizen, the public interest, front and centre, because it is in the name of every EU citizen that you will make the policy and other choices here in this chamber and throughout the EU administration.

In 2023, my office saw a slight rise in the number of complaints received and we opened more inquiries than in 2022. Transparency and accountability accounted for the greatest proportion of cases, followed by a culture of service on the part of the institutions and recruitment issues.

In March, 合法博彩网站 unanimously approved my special report on systemic delays in the European Commission's handling of access to documents requests. This was my first special report since 2018, when I had also asked for your support in ensuring transparency in the Council's legislative process. I took this rare step again, because of the serious negative effect that long access delays can have on citizens' ability to participate effectively in the decision-making process and hold the EU institutions to account. I thank you again for your overwhelming support and reiterate my call on the Commission urgently to deal with this matter.

In 2023, I also opened an own-initiative inquiry into how the Council, 合法博彩网站 and the Commission apply EU law and case law when it comes to public access requests for legislative documents. While 合法博彩网站 received too few access requests within the scope of my inquiry to draw any meaningful conclusions, I found that the Council and the Commission applied the exceptions under the EU access to documents law far too broadly. Their reasoning in many cases, including arguments concerning the protection of legal advice or that disclosure of documents could result in external pressure or public misinterpretation, have already been dismissed by the European Court of Justice in cases taken to it over the last number of years.

I ask both institutions to disclose legislative documents promptly from now on and to refuse access only in highly exceptional circumstances. 'External pressure' in particular is not a reason to deny access, as it is an obvious and normal part of the democratic law-making process.

I also criticised the Commission's failure to ensure all its departments proactively publish details of all meetings with tobacco lobbyists, as well as its failure to keep minutes of all meetings. I did, however, welcome the fact that the Commission intends further to assess the exposure of its departments to lobbying by the tobacco industry. It has now begun this assessment and provided my office with some preliminary information. We look forward to hearing about the Commission's conclusions, as well as what further measures it intends to take to deal with the risk of undue influence on EU decision-making from the tobacco industry.

Following the tragic drowning of over 600 people when the boat Adriana sank off the coast of Greece in June 2023, I opened an inquiry into how Frontex fulfils its fundamental rights obligations in search and rescue operations. I made some suggestions to Frontex to address shortcomings around issues such as guidelines for emergency signals and ensuring that fundamental rights monitors are sufficiently involved in decision-making on maritime emergencies.

I ultimately concluded, however, that current rules leave the agency too reliant on Member States to act when boats carrying people attempting to migrate or to seek asylum are in distress. My inquiry revealed that as the tragedy unfolded, Frontex made four separate offers to assist the Greek authorities by providing aerial surveillance of the Adriana, but that all of these offers went unanswered.

In September 2023, I made a number of suggestions to ensure greater transparency and accountability around the EUR听700-billion-plus Recovery and Resilience Facility. These included asking the Commission to ensure that all Member States set up easy-to-use public portals containing data on funding recipients and to encourage them to publish all national beneficiaries, and not just the 100 receiving the highest amount of funding.

Given the unprecedented size and scope of the RRF, it is especially important that there is accessible information available about the loans and grants it supports. In particular, the public should be reassured that Member States are complying with the conditions attached to the funding they receive.

I could not end this address without also mentioning the fourth edition of our Award for Good Administration. I strongly believe that the role of an ombudsman should not only consist of pointing out what needs to be improved in public administration, but also emphasising what already works well. This award provides a great opportunity to do just that, by bringing much deserved attention to some of the wonderful work being done by EU public servants. The overall winner in 2023 was Eurojust and the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, for their work on guidelines to help civil society collect and preserve evidence of international crimes and human rights violations for future prosecutions.

As you know, my mandate as European Ombudsman is drawing very quickly to a close. During my time in office, I have witnessed many positive developments in the EU administration. These include increased transparency around legislative decision-making and EU trade policy, a strengthened Code of Conduct for Commissioners, the creation of a Frontex complaints mechanism for allegations of fundamental rights breaches, and greater awareness of the potential damage caused by 'revolving door' moves. In addition, I am proud to be leaving behind an office with an 87听% overall employee satisfaction rate, and I would like to thank all of my wonderful staff for their outstanding work throughout these years.

This week, tomorrow in fact, you will elect my successor. There are six well-qualified candidates and I feel confident that whomever you choose will further ensure the EU institutions operate in a manner worthy of the public's trust. I am also confident that you will provide them with the same vital support that you have provided to me over these last 11 years.

听听Raffaele Fitto, Executive Vice-President of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, honourable Members of the European 合法博彩网站, dear Ms O'Reilly, I am very pleased to take the floor on the European 合法博彩网站's report and the resolution on the activities of the European Ombudsman in 2023. I want to thank the rapporteur, Mr Saliba, the coordinators of the PETI Committee and all its members involved for this annual exercise, providing the views of the European 合法博彩网站 on the issues that it considers noteworthy in the area of good administration.

As highlighted in the report in the resolution, the work of the European Ombudsman is crucial for improving administrative practices and for promoting accountability, transparency and culture of service. Through the inquiries conducted in 2023, the European Ombudsman addressed a number of very important issues, such as transparency in the work of the institutions, respect for the fundamental rights, respect for procedural rights, ethical issues and compliance with ethical framework, accountability in the decision鈥憁aking and the recruitment of EU civil servants.

This is essential for EU citizens, businesses and associations, and for an EU administration that always strives to achieve the high standards of public services. The Commission remains committed to continue doing so. The European Commission is the main addressee of the European Ombudsman's inquiries and initiatives, with 227 inquiries and initiatives out of 372 launched in 2023, representing 62.8听% of the total. These figures also reflect the fact that the European Commission is the largest EU institution and has many interactions with EU citizens.

The Commission enjoys excellent cooperation and constructive relations with the office of the European Ombudsman. The fact that it is very rare that an inquiry ends up with the final closing decision of maladministration only in 4.8听% of the cases concerning the Commission 鈥� 11 cases in total 鈥� is an indication that constant dialogue and mutual understanding can provide tangible and concrete results.

I would like to use this occasion to thank the outgoing Ombudsman, Ms Emily O'Reilly, for the excellent work she has done for citizens, businesses and associations and for our institutions in the past 11 years. The Commission remains fully committed to act with due respect and the highest responsibility towards citizens' expectations and demands.

Whenever feasible, the European Ombudsman's solution proposals, suggestions for improvement and recommendations will continue to be taken into account and implemented by the Commission. As usual, the European Commission will duly examine the European 合法博彩网站's resolution in the coming weeks and will reply to all the issues that concern the Commission, including by providing the relevant updates. Madam President, I look forward to hearing the views of the honourable Members and I thank you for your attention.

听听Sandra G贸mez L贸pez, en nombre del Grupo S&D. 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, se帽or铆as, hoy venimos a debatir el informe sobre la defensora del pueblo europea, una instituci贸n clave en la transparencia, la rendici贸n de cuentas y la protecci贸n de nuestros derechos. Quiero agradecerle a Emily O'Reilly la extraordinaria labor que ha hecho en estos diez听a帽os, as铆 como agradecer al compa帽ero Alex Agius Saliba el trabajo que ha hecho realizando este informe.

Miren, precisamente en la realizaci贸n de este informe hemos puesto otra vez encima de la mesa una cuesti贸n que es clave, la de la inmigraci贸n. Quiero agradecer la valent铆a que tuvo la se帽ora O'Reilly para se帽alar que Frontex, una agencia de las instituciones europeas, de la Comisi贸n, ten铆a importantes deficiencias que pod铆an vulnerar los derechos humanos.

Por eso, sinceramente, no puedo entender como los Grupos PPE y PfE no han aceptado las enmiendas de mejora para que no vuelva a ocurrir una desgracia como la del听Adriana, en la que murieron m谩s de seiscientas听personas, y en cambio se aprueba una enmienda del Grupo PfE que habla de que los derechos de los locales tambi茅n existen, lo que es absurdo, es innecesario, se帽or铆as. Tenemos que defender los valores de la Uni贸n, que es una Uni贸n m谩s justa y m谩s humana.

听听P谩l Szekeres, a PfE k茅pvisel艖csoport nev茅ben. 鈥� Eln枚k Asszony! El艖sz枚r is szeretn茅k k枚sz枚netet mondani O'Reilly ombudsman asszonynak 茅s munkat谩rsainak az elm煤lt 11 茅vben v茅gzett 谩ldozatos munk谩j谩茅rt. 2023-ban is sz谩mos, igen fontos k茅rd茅ssel foglalkozott, amelyek hozz谩j谩rultak ahhoz, hogy n枚vekedjen az EU-s int茅zm茅nyek tev茅kenys茅g茅nek 谩tl谩that贸s谩ga, (p茅ld谩ul a dokumentumokhoz val贸 hozz谩f茅r茅s nyilv谩noss谩g谩nak el艖seg铆t茅se r茅v茅n), tov谩bb谩 cs枚kkenjen a korrupci贸 lehet艖s茅ge (p茅ld谩ul a lobbiz谩s szigor铆t谩sa r茅v茅n).

A Pet铆ci贸s Bizotts谩g tagjak茅nt meg tudom er艖s铆teni, hogy a fogyat茅kos emberekt艖l sz谩mos pet铆ci贸 茅rkezett, 茅s ez abban is meg kell er艖s铆tse a k枚vetkez艖 ombudsmant, hogy ezt a munk谩t, amit a fogyat茅kos眉gyben elkezdett az el艖dje, ezt folytatni kell.

Ami a j枚v艖t illeti, a Patri贸ta frakci贸 pet铆ci贸s bizotts谩g谩nak koordin谩torak茅nt fokozott figyelemmel fogom a k枚vetkez艖 ombudsman munk谩j谩t figyelni, 茅s rem茅lem, hogy a k枚vetkez艖 ombudsman v茅get vet majd a Parlamentben tapasztalhat贸 politikai alap煤 diszkrimin谩ci贸nak, hiszen ez 茅pp煤gy tilos, mint ahogy a fogyat茅koss谩gon vagy b谩rmilyen m谩s alap煤 h谩tr谩nyos megk眉l枚nb枚ztet茅s is. Ennek kapcs谩n hadd fejezzem ki sajn谩latomat, hogy Saliba 煤r, a most t谩rgyalt jelent茅s el艖ad贸ja, egyetlen patri贸ta m贸dos铆t贸t sem fogadott el. Tal谩n ez is 鈥瀋ordon sanitaire鈥�?

听听Kosma Z艂otowski, w imieniu grupy ECR. 鈥� Pani Przewodnicz膮ca! Pani Rzecznik O'Reilly! Bardzo dzi臋kuj臋 pani O'Reilly za to, 偶e sta艂a przez 10 lat na stra偶y transparentno艣ci i uczciwo艣ci unijnych instytucji. Zw艂aszcza ostatnia kadencja pokaza艂a jednak, 偶e brak przejrzysto艣ci procesu decyzyjnego i korupcja to realne i wci膮偶 nierozwi膮zane problemy. Zgadzamy si臋 z obawami wyra偶onymi przez Pani膮 Rzecznik, 偶e wdra偶anie i egzekwowanie zasad etycznych po aferze Katargate w Parlamencie wci膮偶 mo偶e budzi膰 zastrze偶enia.

Niezwykle wa偶n膮 kwesti膮 jest tak偶e utrudniony proces dost臋pu do dokument贸w oraz decyzja, co zaliczy膰 do tej kategorii. Korespondencja esemesowa przewodnicz膮cej Komisji z szefem Pfizera w sprawie unijnego kontraktu na zakup szczepionek przeciwko COVID-19 tak偶e powinna by膰 publicznie dost臋pna. Ta kwestia wci膮偶 wymaga pilnej uwagi i nadal niew艂a艣ciwie zosta艂a wyja艣niona.

听听Micha艂 Kobosko, w imieniu grupy Renew. 鈥� Pani Przewodnicz膮ca! Panie Przewodnicz膮cy! Pani Rzecznik! Jako koordynator Komisji Petycji z ramienia Renew Europe serdecznie dzi臋kuj臋 Pani Rzecznik za ten ostatni rok. S艂owa uznania ze strony mojej jako polityka i obywatela, ale tak偶e ze strony ca艂ej naszej frakcji. Pani ogromny wk艂ad w zwi臋kszenie przejrzysto艣ci administracji, Pani pochylenie si臋 nad sprawami obywateli dowodz膮, jak odpowiedzialn膮 postaw膮 Pani si臋 wykaza艂a zar贸wno w tym roku, jak i w trakcie ca艂ej 11-letniej kadencji.

Europejski Ombudsman, tak jak rzecznicy praw obywatelskich w pa艅stwach cz艂onkowskich, musi by膰 jak najbli偶ej i broni膰 ka偶dego obywatela. Ma by膰 rzecznikiem, adwokatem i powiernikiem obywateli, kt贸rzy czasem gubi膮 si臋 w unijnej biurokracji. Europejski Rzecznik Praw Obywatelskich ma sprawia膰, by Unia by艂a bli偶sza Europejczykowi. To ogromne zadanie. O tym, kto podejmie si臋 trudu, by to zadanie kontynuowa膰, zdecydujemy w tym tygodniu.

Spoczywa na nas, europos艂ach, bardzo wa偶na odpowiedzialno艣膰, by dobrze i m膮drze wybra膰. Nie kto b臋dzie lepszym politycznym wyborem, nie kogo chcieliby艣my obdarowa膰 tym stanowiskiem. Nie, my mamy wybra膰 osob臋, kt贸ra sprawi, 偶e Unia zago艣ci w domach naszych obywateli, a nie gdzie艣 daleko w gmachach Strasburga i Brukseli.

To je ujedno i zadnji izvje拧taj koji podnosite ovdje u Europskom parlamentu. Zato mi dopustite da u ime grupe Zeleni/EFA ovim putem zahvalim za va拧 predani vi拧egodi拧nji rad na za拧titi ljudskih prava, na za拧titi vladavine prava i ja膷anja transparentnosti institucija Europske unije.

Tako ste vrlo precizno i predano u svom mandatu radili na temi migracija. Posebno 啪elim istaknuti va拧 rad na u啪asnoj tragediji utapanja preko 600 ljudi u havariji broda Adriana. I sami ste govorili kako su vas te situacije duboko obilje啪ile. Radili ste i na temama za拧tite okoli拧a, posebno vezano uz pristup informacijama u tom podru膷ju, gdje ste utvrdili u膷estale nepravilnosti, tj. osudili Europsku komisiju, koja 膷esto nije voljna dati pristup informacijama ili je odugovla膷ila s odgovorima.

Uvjeren sam kako je va拧 hrabar i profesionalan rad, koliko god bio izlo啪en nekim kritikama, naposljetku u膷inio institucije kvalitetnima.

听听Marcin Sypniewski, w imieniu grupy ESN. 鈥� Pani Przewodnicz膮ca! Szanowni Pa艅stwo! Szanowna Pani Rzecznik! Rz膮dz膮cy podlegaj膮 nieustannej pokusie nadu偶ycia, kt贸rej ofiarami s膮 nasza wolno艣膰, nasz maj膮tek i nasze bezpiecze艅stwo. Nie tylko przez ostatni rok, ale przez te ostatnie wszystkie lata broni艂a Pani tych warto艣ci, walcz膮c z wszechw艂adz膮 biurokrat贸w oraz ujawniaj膮c niekiedy zakulisowe dzia艂ania instytucji Unii Europejskiej, o kt贸rych ludzie mieli prawo wiedzie膰.

W ramach tej walki o przejrzysto艣膰 i uczciwo艣膰 w艣r贸d urz臋dnik贸w ujawni艂a Pani mi臋dzy innymi potajemne rozmowy szefowej Komisji Europejskiej z przedstawicielami Pfizera w zakresie zakupu szczepionek.

Nasuwa si臋 jednak pytanie, czy to w艂a艣ciwa droga, bo Ombudsman to mimo wszystko urz膮d, kt贸ry nadzoruje inne urz臋dy. Czy konieczno艣膰 istnienia takiego nadurz臋dnika nie 艣wiadczy o tym, 偶e mamy do czynienia z nadmiern膮 biurokracj膮 oraz centralizacj膮? Powinni艣my zerwa膰 z tym b艂臋dnym ko艂em i odebra膰 biurokratom w艂adz臋 nad naszym zdrowiem, wolno艣ci膮 i mieniem. Zamiast zarz膮dza膰 biurokracj膮, powinni艣my j膮 wyci膮膰 jak z艂o艣liwy nowotw贸r.

W takim uj臋ciu dzia艂alno艣膰 Ombudsmana jest jak plaster przyklejony na otwarte z艂amanie.

听听Micha艂 Wawrykiewicz (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, thank you very much. Madam Ombudsman, first, I would like to thank you for all of your commitment during the whole term of office. But now I want to address two chapters of this annual report: first, fundamental rights, and second, cooperation and communication with EU institutions.

Looking at the experience of my country, Poland, between 2015 and 2023, with the massive devastation of the rule of law, independence of the judiciary 鈥� which is definitely one of the fundamental rights of our Union 鈥� I would like to stress the role of the European Ombudsman in terms of putting pressure on the European Union institutions to respond quickly and firmly, using all the instruments these institutions have at their disposal. I believe that the key to success in the struggling for the rule of law is effectiveness of European Union institutions, and here I can see also the role of the European Ombudsman.

听听Murielle Laurent (S&D). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, Madame la M茅diatrice, chers coll猫gues, ce d茅bat sur le rapport annuel d鈥檃ctivit茅 de la m茅diatrice europ茅enne est pour moi l鈥檕ccasion de f茅liciter Mme听Emily听O鈥橰eilly pour l鈥檌mmense travail accompli depuis pr猫s de dix ans. Cela me donne aussi l鈥檕ccasion de la remercier au nom des citoyens europ茅ens pour sa t茅nacit茅, son opini芒tret茅, sa rigueur et sa volont茅 absolue de transparence face aux plus hautes instances europ茅ennes, d猫s lors qu鈥檌l s鈥檃git de garantir le fonctionnement de la vie publique, mais 茅galement le respect de l鈥櫭﹖at de droit 鈥撎�茅tat de droit dont le plus grand nombre en Europe ne semble pas se pr茅occuper.

Ces qualit茅s seront indispensables 脿 son successeur ou 脿 sa successeure, dont l鈥櫭﹍ection aura lieu demain. Ce r么le, trop m茅connu, est pourtant primordial pour faire vivre la d茅mocratie europ茅enne et pour la prot茅ger. Je souhaite vivement que le prochain m茅diateur ou la prochaine m茅diatrice soit 脿 la hauteur des enjeux, comme Mme听O鈥橰eilly l鈥檃 茅t茅.

听听Virginie Joron (PfE). 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, chers coll猫gues, Madame听Emily听O鈥橰eilly, Monsieur le Commissaire, d鈥檃bord je tiens 脿 saluer l鈥檌mportance et la qualit茅, ch猫re madame, du travail que vous avez r茅alis茅 depuis dix ans, et sp茅cialement depuis听2020, ann茅e de la folie COVID-19 鈥撎齤e salue 脿 ce titre les 393听enqu锚tes que vous avez ouvertes pour la seule ann茅e听2023.

La mauvaise administration est devenue le syst猫me. C鈥檈st ainsi que l鈥檕n dirige l鈥橢urope, et l鈥檕n semble penser que c鈥檈st normal. Des plaintes, des rapports, des auditions鈥� mais une Commission qui se contente de hausser les 茅paules et de continuer, comme si de rien n鈥櫭﹖ait. Beaucoup d鈥檋ypocrites ici critiquent Mme听von听der听Leyen, mais lui font la bise et lui redonnent l鈥檌mmunit茅 pendant cinq ans. Ces magouilles politiciennes, les citoyens europ茅ens n鈥檈n veulent plus. Voyage non d茅clar茅 d鈥橴rsula en Gr猫ce, 芦Qatargate禄, 芦Pfizergate禄, multiples cas de pantouflage: les scandales s鈥檈ncha卯nent, et ils sont ignor茅s.

Comme m茅diatrice, vous avez 艙uvr茅 pour que la Commission europ茅enne mette fin 脿 ses pratiques opaques, ses retards et ses copinage, en vain. Qu鈥櫭� cela ne tienne: vous pouvez compter sur nous pour demander des comptes 脿 cette nouvelle Commission von听der听Leyen.

Vous quittez votre fonction apr猫s deux mandats, et les citoyens attach茅s 脿 la transparence peuvent vous dire merci.

Maintenant, j鈥檈sp猫re que votre successeur poursuivra votre pr茅cieux travail. Je regrette aussi que le rapporteur fictif ait finalement respect茅 le cordon antid茅mocratique impos茅 par l鈥檃xe PPE-S&D-Renew-Verts/ALE, qui emp锚che d鈥檃m茅liorer ce rapport.

W 2023 roku dzia艂alno艣膰 Europejskiego Rzecznika Praw Obywatelskich, pani Emily O'Reilly by艂a niezwykle istotna. Podobnie jak w poprzednich latach, zw艂aszcza w kontek艣cie przejrzysto艣ci i odpowiedzialno艣ci unijnych instytucji. W mijaj膮cym roku Pani Rzecznik prowadzi艂a dochodzenia dotycz膮ce procesu decyzyjnego, legislacji 艣rodowiskowej oraz wp艂yw贸w stron trzecich, co mia艂o szczeg贸lne znaczenie po wybuchu afery Katargate. Uwa偶am, 偶e dzia艂alno艣膰 ta przyczyni艂a si臋 do zwi臋kszenia 艣wiadomo艣ci na temat przejrzysto艣ci Unii Europejskiej, zw艂aszcza w sprawach takich jak wymiana wiadomo艣ci mi臋dzy przewodnicz膮c膮 Komisji Europejskiej a firm膮 Pfizer w kwestii szczepionek czy brak przejrzysto艣ci w prawodawstwie 艣rodowiskowym. To, co zrobi艂a Pani O'Reilly, by艂o konieczne i zale偶y nam na tym, 偶eby to zaufanie zbudowane tak偶e przez Pani膮 zwi臋kszy艂 Pani nast臋pca.

听听Jana Toom (Renew). 鈥� Madam President, dear colleagues, Ombudsman, Commissioner, of course, I do have my speaking points. I left them on the table because if you have 15 speakers, everything was already said, right? So I will take a liberty to speak from by heart.

I believe, Emily 鈥� sorry for calling you that 鈥� you might feel a bit like in the funeral. Everybody is praising you here and for听good reason. You did an outstanding job, and it was our privilege to work with you.听So I believe that what we have to do, we have to draw our lessons, and there were a lot of lessons, which we can go ahead with after working with you regarding transparency and all these keywords we have already mentioned here, but the main challenge is to make the right choice tomorrow, because Emily O'Reilly is really leaving behind pretty big shoes to fill.

And let's, colleagues, make our choice, let's be conscious and let's think about O'Reilly's legacy, and fingers crossed that the next Ombudsman will be up to this task.

听听Alexandra Mehnert (PPE). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, verehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen Abgeordnete! Was macht eine gute B眉rgerbeauftragte, einen guten B眉rgerbeauftragten aus?

Auf diese Frage gibt der heute vorgestellte Bericht 眉ber den Jahresbericht 2023 眉ber die T盲tigkeit der Europ盲ischen B眉rgerbeauftragten einige Antworten. Die B眉rgerbeauftragte ist die Stimme f眉r B眉rgerinnen und B眉rger; hier geht es um Vertrauen und um Sichtbarkeit. Denn leider ist das Amt bislang bei B眉rgerinnen und B眉rgern nicht so bekannt. Das hei脽t nicht nur Zugang zu Dokumenten und Transparenz, sondern direkter Kontakt zu den Menschen. Der Bericht, den wir heute verabschieden, f眉hrt sehr richtig auf, wie wichtig der Kontakt in die Mitgliedstaaten ist听鈥� 眉ber Multiplikatoren, Zivilgesellschaft und Medien. Ich w眉rde sogar sagen, der Kontakt in die Mitgliedstaaten ist die wichtigste Aufgabe des Europ盲ischen B眉rgerbeauftragten.

Morgen w盲hlen wir im Europ盲ischen Parlament das Amt neu. Es freut mich sehr, dass wir gleich mehrere hoch qualifizierte und wirklich gut geeignete Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten haben. Wir k枚nnen aus den Erfahrungen der vergangenen Jahre lernen, was eine gute B眉rgerbeauftragte ausmacht: auch zuk眉nftig ein verst盲rkter direkter Kontakt zu den B眉rgern.

听听Mohammed Chahim (S&D). 鈥� Voorzitter, wat ben ik blij dat we in Europa een ombudsman hebben! Zeker wanneer we te maken hebben met overheden die de grenzen van de rechtstaat opzoeken, mensen willens en wetens apart zetten en onze vrijheden en rechten niet als vanzelfsprekend zien. Gelukkig hebben wij het instituut 鈥淥mbudsman鈥� dat ons beschermt en ons tegelijkertijd een spiegel kan voorhouden.

Een voorbeeld hiervan is migratie, waar het debat steeds feller en feller wordt. Je zou bijna vergeten dat het om mensen gaat en dat die mensen gewoon rechten hebben. Terecht dat de Ombudsman daarom de afgelopen jaren verslag deed van Frontex en de Europese grenspolitie en hen opriep om de fundamentele rechten van migranten beter te beschermen.

Precies daarom hebben wij een ombudsman nodig. Iemand die los staat van de publieke opinie en oog houdt voor wat echt telt: mensenrechten, transparantie en vooral een eerlijke overheid. Ik hoop echt dat wij dat instituut nog meer waarde gaan toedragen en waardigheid gaan geven. Want het is belangrijk om een onafhankelijk iemand te hebben die opkomt voor mensen en ons af en toe een spiegel voorhoudt.

La democracia y el Estado de Derecho no solo constituyen el sistema que rige nuestra organizaci贸n pol铆tica, sino que tambi茅n son elementos centrales de nuestra identidad, y por esta raz贸n tenemos que tomarnos muy en serio la labor que realiza el Defensor del Pueblo Europeo. Este organismo act煤a como puente entre los europeos y sus instituciones, partiendo de la premisa de que, al igual que no hay democracia sin separaci贸n de poderes o igualdad ante la ley, tampoco puede haber democracia sin transparencia ni rendici贸n de cuentas.

Sin embargo, y a pesar del gran trabajo que ha hecho usted, esa instituci贸n a煤n tiene mucho trabajo por delante. Durante la pasada legislatura, muchos europeos acudieron a este organismo con la esperanza de resolver dudas sobre procedimientos iniciados por la Comisi贸n Europea en casos que afectan directamente a sus derechos fundamentales. Un ejemplo es el alto n煤mero de solicitudes presentadas por ciudadanos espa帽oles para conocer el estado del procedimiento iniciado por la Comisi贸n sobre la ley de amnist铆a. Por ello, pido que el pr贸ximo candidato refuerce los niveles de transparencia y rendici贸n de cuentas de la Uni贸n.

听听Evin Incir (S&D). 鈥� Madam President, first and foremost, I want to start by thanking you for your vital work, EU Ombudsman O'Reilly. In these challenging times of backlash against fundamental rights and democratic erosion your role as a strong EU Ombudsman with integrity has been crucial.

Transparency and access to documents are essential for democracy, protecting against corruption and authoritarianism. Unfortunately, the Commission and many Member States have consistently failed to meet these expectations. The Commission has excessively restricted access to documents and missed legal review deadlines in 85听% of cases. Even President von der Leyen has denied public access to SMS communication with a pharmaceutical CEO, overlooking that content defines a public document, not the medium. Even a pigeon 鈥� a message sent by pigeon 鈥� would and should have been seen as a public document.

It's disheartening that Member States refuse to resume negotiations on the regulation of access to documents. The situation undermines the trust in the public institutions. It undermines the trust in democracy.

Once again, I want to say thank you for...

(The President cut off the speaker)

听听Regina Doherty (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, with democratic accountability under threat right across the world, including in some of our own Member States, I believe the role of the European Ombudsman has never been more important. EU citizens must feel that the institutions are not above scrutiny. And that is why I want to thank my own Irish colleague, Emily O'Reilly, for the service that she has given in this role for the last 11听years.

Emily has given her absolute all to uphold democracy, enhance accountability and ensure that the abuses of power in EU institutions, including in this 合法博彩网站, do not get dismissed as 'It's just the way things are done'. Because I know there are citizens across the Union in every Member State who are extremely grateful to Emily for her work that she did on their behalf over three mandates. But that work is never complete and there is still much more to do.

The Commission in particular needs to become much better at giving public access to the legislative documents within a reasonable time frame, as she outlined, and I am sure that will be for our next EU Ombudsman and I want to wish them all the best of luck tomorrow. But Commissioner, after 11听years of outstanding service of a fine Irishwoman and three of our candidates tomorrow being women, maybe it's about time we changed the name of the role to 'Ombudsperson'.

Destaco dois aspetos do relat贸rio apresentado pela Senhora Provedora: um relativo aos esc芒ndalos banc谩rios e outro relativo 脿s migra莽玫es.

A forma como a Provedoria Europeia interveio nas queixas feitas sobre a atua莽茫o de autoridades banc谩rias e financeiras, incluindo o impacto dos esc芒ndalos financeiros, como o do Banco Popular ou o esc芒ndalo das taxas LIBOR, mostra como a banca pode fazer tudo aquilo que entende em preju铆zo dos cidad茫os, com os cidad茫os a assumirem essas consequ锚ncias e, com grandes dificuldades, as autoridades a impedirem esse tipo de pr谩ticas.

Simultaneamente, a interven莽茫o da Provedoria Europeia em mat茅ria de migra莽玫es em rela莽茫o a viol锚ncias e abusos contra migrantes e refugiados e em rela莽茫o a pr谩ticas ilegais de devolu莽玫es for莽adas ou a outras pr谩ticas da Frontex que s茫o criticadas pela Provedoria Europeia.

听听Lukas Sieper (NI). 鈥� Madam President, dear people of Europe and dear secretaries of the Vice-President. The European Ombudsman is an institution of transparency, and while the annual report of 2023 shows how important this institution is given the fact that 372 proceedings have been concluded, it also shows us the price of transparency. It is not for free 鈥� it takes the involved institutions some bravery, because what stands in the way of transparency is mostly the thought that things always have been like that.

If, for example, a Member of this 合法博彩网站 uses the freedom of his mandate to record from inside this plenary and thereby give the people a unique insight to the proceedings of this House, this, of course, is also a disturbance to the way that things have been. But if you ask me, transparency is always worth that disturbance.

Dear colleagues, let us do everything in our power to strengthen the European Ombudsman even further.

(Koniec zg艂osze艅 z sali)

听听Raffaele Fitto, Executive Vice-President of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, honourable Members, dear Ms O'Reilly, thank you for all your interesting interventions.

Good administration is not only a concept 鈥� it is a right enshrined in the Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The demands and the needs from EU citizens, businesses and associations for transparent, accessible and efficient EU institutions based upon principles 鈥� notably of non-discrimination, impartiality, objectivity and fairness 鈥� are therefore legitimate, reasonable and valid. This is why cooperation between the European Ombudsman and the EU institutions is of key importance.

The report and the resolution of the European 合法博彩网站 on the activities of the European Ombudsman in 2023 highlighted several areas where the institutions have done their job and others where improvements can be realised. It is our duty to strive to improve the way we operate, in line with the principle of good administration, in the interests of the EU citizens and the interests of the European Union.

As already mentioned in my introductory remarks, the Commission will now assess in detail the issues raised in your resolution and during today's debate and will respond in the next weeks. Thank you for your attention.

听听EMILY O'REILLY, European Ombudsman. 鈥� Madam President, dear Members, thank you very much for all of your kind words and your observations. If it is feeling a bit like my funeral, as Madam Toom said, it's a very nice one. I'm sure my successor will pay attention to everything that you have said today and listen to your priorities and those issues that you have taken particular interest in.

As I have said many times before, the support of 合法博彩网站 for an EU Ombudsman's work is both vital for and intrinsic to its capacity to be successful in its work. We both have the task of holding the executive to account, and that implies a shared sense of values and a shared concern for the citizens of the European Union, whose lives are determined in so many ways by what happens in this Chamber and in the offices and meeting places of the other institutions, agencies, offices and bodies.

Over the last eleven years, whenever I have asked for the support of this 合法博彩网站, I have received it, and it is that that I have relied on when challenges arose and your institutional strength was needed to assist me in overcoming them. I thank you again for that.

Such successes as I have had in those eleven years have also been built on my belief in belief itself. Institutions such as the European 合法博彩网站 have enormous power, and even my small office, inspired by my own strong belief in its capacity to make positive change within the European administration, has considerable power if we choose to internalise a deep awareness of that potential and how we can use it.

This 合法博彩网站 is directly elected by the people, and that legitimacy confers upon you both great power and great responsibility. Tomorrow you will elect my successor, and I wish you well in that important task. Whoever is chosen will have the legitimacy conferred precisely because of their election by you, by this institution, and that, too, will be a source of great strength to them, and will also confer great responsibility.

It has been an honour and an immense privilege to have served in this role. I will leave you with a few words of farewell in my native Irish language. They come from an old Irish blessing, wishing a traveller well as they embark on a journey, just as I wish you all well as you continue on yours.

O艣wiadczenia pisemne (art. 178)

听听Marc Angel (S&D), in writing. 鈥� The European Ombudsman has a key role when it comes to ensuring transparency and accountability of the EU administration.

This PETI annual report is the last under the outgoing Ombudsman Emily O'Reilly, whom I want to thank for the remarkable and tireless work of the past eleven years.

Accountability, transparency, compliance with fundamental and human rights obligations are some of the elements investigated by the Ombudsman in 2023. Such values are the cornerstone of our Union and I am glad that the Ombudsman鈥檚 recommendations helped to improve the functioning of our institutions with tangible results.

Citizens expect an 'open, modern and service-minded' EU administration, but unfortunately, a lot still has to be done to achieve the highest possible standards.

Particularly worrying are the systemic and significant delays in how the Commission handles requests for public access to documents. Regrettably, other EU institutions have been facing the same issue, which is a sign of widespread structural problems.

I also welcome the assessment regarding ethical issues in the EU institutions and the concerns on the implementation of the new rules on transparency.

Transparency lies at the basis of the citizens鈥� trust and we need to maintain high accountability and ensure proper enforcement.
