At its meeting of 3 September, the Committee received the European Ombudsman (EO), Ms Emily O’Reilly, who presented her 2019 Annual Report. Members had the opportunity to exchange views with the Ombudsman on the progress of her work for the past year.
Among other things, the Report, published in May 2019, emphasises the special relationship with the Committee on Petitions and salutes the overwhelming support by Parliament to the EO's Special Report concerning the accountability of the Council and the transparency of how it deals with legislation.
