Paragraph 26 b (new)
Paragraph 26 b (new)
26b. Recalls that in its decision on the European Ombudsman’s building project, Parliament’s Committee on Budgets pointed out that ‘the Commission notes that the surface area of the rented building seems to exceed the current needs of the European Ombudsman and that there are still office spaces available in Strasbourg. The Commission therefore encourages the Ombudsman to prioritise the use of the office space available in Strasbourg and, where possible, to share the surplus office space in Brussels with another institution.’
