Details

Mr FAYOT highlighted the fact that the current Rule 159 was not viable as it was difficult to apply the practices in use in the Member States when the aim was to appoint a person at European level, given that it was easier to agree on a strong personality at national level. ‘With this third report, we are adopting a purely elective approach, which gives Parliament full control when choosing the Ombudsman from among the candidates. Monitoring the applications becomes an administrative matter since it is the 29 signatory Members who support the nominations.’
