in writing.
(PT)
Following the 2009 observations, the European Ombudsman underwent an audit that concluded that the management and checks system was effective, provided that certain specific actions were taken. However, in its 2010 annual report, the Court of Auditors indicated that it had no observations regarding the European Ombudsman. In view of this, I voted to approve the accounts submitted by the European Commission and to discharge the 2010 accounts, Section VIII – European Ombudsman.
