Subject matter and principles

1.   This Regulation lays down the regulations and general conditions governing the performance of the Ombudsman’s duties (Statute of the European Ombudsman).

2.   The Ombudsman shall be completely independent in the performance of his or her duties and shall act without any prior authorisation.

3.   The Ombudsman shall help to uncover maladministration in the activities of the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, with the exception of the Court of Justice of the European Union acting in its judicial role, paying due regard to point (d) of Article 20(2) and Article 228 TFEU and Article 41 of the Charter on the right to good administration.

No action by any other authority or person may be the subject of a complaint to the Ombudsman.

4.   Where appropriate, the Ombudsman shall make recommendations, proposals for solutions and suggestions for improvement to address the issue.

5.   In the performance of his or her duties, the Ombudsman may not question the soundness of a court’s ruling or a court’s competence to issue a ruling.

Article 2

Complaints

1.   Any citizen of the Union or any natural or legal person residing or having its registered office in a Member State may, directly or through a member of the European Parliament, lodge a complaint with the Ombudsman in respect of an instance of maladministration.

2.   A complaint shall make clear reference to its object and to the identity of the complainant. A complainant may request that the complaint, or parts of it, remains confidential.

3.   A complaint shall be lodged within two years of the date on which the facts on which it is based came to the attention of the complainant. Before the complaint is lodged, the complainant shall make the appropriate administrative approaches to the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned.

4.   The Ombudsman shall dismiss a complaint as inadmissible if it is outside the scope of the Ombudsman’s mandate or if the procedural requirements laid down in paragraphs 2 and 3 are not fulfilled. Where a complaint is outside the scope of the Ombudsman’s mandate, he or she may advise the complainant to address it to another authority.

5.   If the Ombudsman finds that the complaint is manifestly unfounded, he or she shall close the file and inform the complainant of that finding. In cases where the complainant has informed the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned about the complaint, the Ombudsman shall also inform the authority concerned.

6.   Complaints concerning employment relations between the Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies and their staff shall be admissible only if the person concerned has exhausted all internal administrative procedures, in particular those referred to in Article 90 of the Staff Regulations, and the competent authority of the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned has taken a decision or the time limits for its reply have expired. The Ombudsman shall also be entitled to verify the measures adopted by the competent authority of the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned to ensure the protection of alleged victims of harassment and to restore a healthy and safe working environment respecting the dignity of the persons concerned while an administrative inquiry is ongoing, provided that the persons concerned have exhausted the internal administrative procedures in relation to these measures.

7.   The Ombudsman shall inform the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned of a registered complaint, as soon as that complaint has been declared admissible and the decision has been taken to open an inquiry.

8.   Complaints lodged with the Ombudsman shall not affect time limits for appeals in administrative or judicial proceedings.

9.   Where, because of legal proceedings in progress or concluded concerning the facts which have been put forward, the Ombudsman declares a complaint inadmissible or decides to terminate consideration of it, the outcome of any inquiries that the Ombudsman has carried out up to that point shall be put on file and that file shall be closed.

10.   The Ombudsman shall as soon as possible inform the complainant of the action taken on the complaint and, as far as possible, seek a solution with the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned to eliminate the instance of maladministration. The Ombudsman shall inform the complainant of the solution proposed along with the comments, if any, of the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned. The complainant may submit comments or provide, at any stage, additional information that was not known at the time of the submission of the complaint.

Where a solution accepted by the complainant and the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned has been found, the Ombudsman may close the file without pursuing the procedure provided for in Article 4.

Article 3

Inquiries

1.   In accordance with his or her duties, the Ombudsman shall conduct inquiries for which he or she finds grounds, on his or her own initiative or following a complaint.

2.   The Ombudsman shall inform the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned of such inquiries without undue delay. Without prejudice to Article 5, the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned may, on its own initiative or at the Ombudsman’s request, submit any useful comment or evidence.

3.   The Ombudsman may conduct own-initiative inquiries whenever he or she finds grounds, and in particular in repeated, systemic or particularly serious instances of maladministration, in order to address those instances as an issue of public interest. In the context of such inquiries, he or she may also make proposals and initiatives to promote administrative best practices within Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies.

Article 4

Interaction between the Ombudsman and the institutions

1.   Where, following an inquiry, instances of maladministration are found, the Ombudsman shall inform, without undue delay, the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned of the findings of the inquiry and, where appropriate, shall make recommendations.

2.   The Union institution, body, office or agency concerned shall send the Ombudsman a detailed opinion within three months. The Ombudsman may, upon a reasoned request of the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned, grant an extension of that deadline. That extension shall not exceed two months. Where no opinion is delivered by the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned within the original three-month deadline or within the extended deadline, the Ombudsman may close the inquiry without such an opinion.

3.   Upon the closure of an inquiry, the Ombudsman shall forward a report to the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned and, where the nature or the scale of the instance of maladministration uncovered so requires, to the European Parliament. The Ombudsman may make recommendations in the report. The Ombudsman shall inform the complainant of the outcome of the inquiry, of the opinion delivered by the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned and of any recommendations made in the report.

4.   Where appropriate in relation to an inquiry into the activities of a Union institution, body, office or agency, the Ombudsman may be heard before the European Parliament, at the appropriate level, on his or her own initiative or at the request of the European Parliament.

5.   At the end of each annual session, the Ombudsman shall submit to the European Parliament a report on the outcome of the inquiries that he or she carried out. The report shall include an assessment of compliance with the Ombudsman’s recommendations, proposals for solutions and suggestions for improvement. The report shall also include, where relevant, the outcome of the Ombudsman’s inquiries related to harassment, whistleblowing and conflicts of interest within the Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies.

Article 5

To this effect, the Ombudsman and a Union institution, body, office or agency may also enter into an arrangement establishing a general framework governing the provision of EU classified information.

6.   In accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5, access to EU classified information shall be provided in the premises of the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned, unless otherwise agreed with the Ombudsman.

7.   Without prejudice to paragraph 3, the competent authorities of the Member States may refuse to provide the Ombudsman with information covered by national law on protection of classified information or by provisions preventing its communication.

Nonetheless, the Member State concerned may provide such information to the Ombudsman subject to conditions set out by its competent authority.

8.   Where the Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies and the authorities of the Member States intend to provide the Ombudsman with EU classified information or any other information which is not accessible to the public, they shall give the Ombudsman advance notice thereof.

The Ombudsman shall ensure that such information is adequately protected and in particular shall not disclose it to the complainant or to the public without the prior consent of the Union institution, body, office or agency or the competent authority of the Member State concerned. As regards EU classified information, the consent shall be given in writing.

9.   The Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies refusing access to EU classified information shall provide the Ombudsman with a justification in writing, indicating, as a minimum, the grounds for refusal.

10.   The Ombudsman shall retain possession of information referred to in paragraph 8 only until the inquiry is definitively closed.

Article 8

Inquiries in the context of whistleblowing

1.   The Ombudsman may conduct an inquiry to uncover instances of maladministration in the treatment of information as defined in Article 22a of the Staff Regulations which have been disclosed to him or her by an official or other servant in accordance with the relevant rules laid down in the Staff Regulations.

2.   In such cases, the official or other servant shall benefit from the protection offered by the Staff Regulations against any prejudicial effects on the part of the Union institution, body, office or agency as a result of having communicated the information.

3.   The Ombudsman may also inquire whether there was an instance of maladministration in the handling of such case by the Union institution, body, office or agency concerned, including as regards the protection of the official or other servant concerned.

Article 9

Professional secrecy

1.   The Ombudsman and his or her staff shall not divulge information or documents which they obtain in the course of an inquiry. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, they shall, in particular, not divulge any EU classified information or internal documents of the Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies supplied to the Ombudsman or documents falling within the scope of Union law regarding the protection of personal data. They shall also not divulge any information which could harm the rights of the complainant or of any other person involved.

2.   Without prejudice to the general reporting obligation of all Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 883/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), if facts learnt in the course of an Ombudsman inquiry might constitute or relate to a criminal offence, the Ombudsman shall report to the competent authorities of the Member States and, in so far as the case falls within their respective competences, to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, in accordance with Article 24 of Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 (8) and to OLAF.

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (1), and in particular Article 24(9) and point (a) of Article 39(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Pursuant to Article 9(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/848, only products and substances authorised under Article 24 of that Regulation may be used in organic production provided that their use in non-organic production has also been authorised in accordance with relevant provisions of Union law. The Commission has already evaluated the use of certain products and substances in organic production on the basis of the objectives and principles laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (2). The selected products and substances were consequently authorised under specific conditions by Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (3) and listed in certain Annexes to that Regulation. The objectives and principles laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/848 are similar to those in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. As it is necessary to ensure the continuity of organic production, those products and substances should be included in the restrictive lists to be established on the basis of Regulation (EU) 2018/848. |

For that purpose, the Commission should authorise food additives and processing aids as referred to in point (a) of Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and establish their list.

| (11) | Food additives and food processing aids used in the production of processed organic food were listed respectively in sections A, B and C of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008. However, according to their uses and functions in the final product, certain of those products might be classified as additives and not as processing aids. This classification needs a specific and exhaustive analysis of those products in the production of processed organic food. Such analysis should be conducted on all products listed as processing aids in Regulation (EC) No 889/2008. That process will take time and cannot be completed before the date of application of Regulation (EU) 2018/848. Consequently, the products currently listed as processing aids in Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 will be listed as processing aids in this Regulation until a specific and exhaustive analysis has been carried out. |

| (12) | Under certain circumstances and conditions set out, in particular, in point 2.2.1 of Part IV of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848, certain non-organic agricultural ingredients may be used for the production of processed organic food. For that purpose, the Commission should authorise such non-organic agricultural ingredients as referred to in point (b) of Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and establish their list. The dossiers on non-organic agricultural ingredients to be used for the production of processed organic food that have been submitted by Member States in accordance with Article 24(7) of Regulation (EU) 2018/848 were evaluated within the Committee on Organic Production. The selected products and substances that comply with the objectives and principles laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/848 should be included in the restrictive list to be established by this Regulation, where necessary under specific conditions. |

(58)  Data shall be recorded by fishing gear type (FAO International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Gear) and by eel management unit as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007.

(59)  Data shall be recorded by fishing gear type (FAO International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Gear) and by eel management unit as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007.

(60)  Data shall be recorded by fishing gear type (FAO International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Gear) and by eel management unit as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007.

(61)  For vessels less than 12 m in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, the length categories are 0-< 6, 6-< 12 m. For vessels less than 12 m in the Baltic Sea, the length categories are 0-< 8, 8-< 12 m. For all other regions, the length categories are defined as 0-< 10, 10-< 12 m.

(62)  The dominance criteria are be used to allocate each vessel to a segment based on the number of fishing days used with each gear. If a fishing gear is used by more than the sum of all the others (i.e. a vessel spends more than 50 % of its fishing time using that gear), the vessel shall be allocated to that segment. If not, the vessel shall be allocated to the following fleet segment: (a) ‘Vessels using polyvalent ‘active’ gears only’ if it only uses active gears; (b) ‘Vessels using polyvalent ‘passive’ gears only’ if it only uses passive gears; (c) ‘Vessel using active and passive gears’.

(63)  Vessels less than 12 metres using passive gears in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea may be disaggregated by gear type. The fleet segment definition also includes an indication of the supra-region and, if available, a geographical indicator to identify vessels fishing in outermost regions and exclusively outside EU waters.

(64)  Vessels less than 12 metres using passive gears in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea may be disaggregated by gear type. The fleet segment definition shall also include an indication of the supra-region and, if available, a geographical indicator to identify vessels fishing in outermost regions and exclusively outside EU waters.

(65)  For definitions of farming techniques, see Regulation (EC) No 762/2008.

(66)  Enterprises should be segmented according to their main farming technique.

(67)  Hatcheries and nurseries are defined as places for the artificial breeding, hatching and rearing through the early life stages of aquatic animals. For statistical purposes, hatcheries are limited to the production of fertilised eggs. Further juvenile stages of aquatic animals are considered as being produced in nurseries. When hatcheries and nurseries are closely associated, statistics shall refer only to the latest juvenile stage produced (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).

(68)  Enclosures and pens are defined as areas of water confined by nets, mesh and other barriers allowing uncontrolled water interchange and distinguished by the fact that enclosures occupy the full water column between substrate and surface; pens and enclosures generally enclose a relatively large volume of water (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).

(69)  Recirculation systems means systems where the water is reused after some form of treatment (e.g. filtering).

(70)  Cages are defined as open or covered enclosed structures constructed with net, mesh or any porous material allowing natural water interchange. These structures may be floating, suspended or fixed to the substrate, but still permit water interchange from below (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).

(71)  ‘On-bottom’ techniques cover shellfish farming in inter-tidal areas (directly on the ground or elevated).
