Europäische Ombudsmann

The Europäische Ombudsmann, or European Ombudsman, is an independent official who investigates complaints from individuals, businesses, or organizations about unfair, improper, or maladministration by European Union institutions or bodies. Their role is to ensure transparency, accountability, and integrity within EU operations. If someone believes they have been treated unfairly or suspect misconduct, they can submit a complaint, which the Ombudsman will review, potentially leading to recommendations for change or improvements in EU practices. This helps uphold citizens' rights and maintains trust in European institutions.
