1995/06/19 Final act published in Official Journal
1995/05/16 Decision by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading
- T4-0200/1995 summary
  
  The European Parliament has decided to amend Rule 159 of its rules of procedure on the appointment of the ombudsman. These changes, which apply with immediate effect, concern the selection and nomination procedure for the post of ombudsman: - the notice calling for nominations must be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities; - nominations must include all the supporting documents needed to show that the nominee fulfils the conditions required by the Regulations on the Ombudsman; - nominations must have the support of a minimum of 29 Members and 2 Member States; - each Member may only support one nomination; - the Committee on Petitions will hear candidates and then submit a list of admissible nominations in alphabetical order on which Parliament will vote. Hearings will be open to all Members. As far as the actual appointment of the ombudsman by Parliament in plenary is concerned: - the vote will be held by secret ballot; the nomination with the most votes wins; - if no candidate is elected after the first two ballots, only the two candidates with the most votes will continue to stand; - in the event of a tie, the older candidate wins. The decision contains a temporary provision for the appointment of the first ombudsman whereby candidates who met the required conditions during the first selection process need not reapply when the new procedure for appointing the ombudsman opens.�
1995/05/15 Debate in Parliament
- Debate in Parliament summary
  
  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.’
