The success of the guide will hopefully be demonstrated by a further fall in the number of inadmissible complaints received by my o ce.
Upam, da se bo ta vodnik izkazal za uspešnega, tako da se bo število nedopustnih pritožb, ki jih prejme moj urad, še zmanjšalo.
Identifying the most appropriate avenue of address the first time around is important for many reasons.
Razlogi, zaradi katerih je pomembno, da se takoj poišče najustreznejši naslov za reševanje pritožb, so številni.
It helps avoid the frustration involved for citizens who are told that the body they have turned to is not able to help them.
S tem se lahko državljanom prihrani razočaranje, ko izvedo, da jim organ, na katerega so se obrnili, ne more pomagati.
It also means that complaints are resolved more promptly and e � ectively, thus ensuring that citizens can fully enjoy their rights under EU law.
Pomeni tudi, da se pritožbe rešujejo hitreje in učinkoviteje, s čimer se zagotovi, da lahko državljani v celoti izkoristijo svoje pravice v skladu z zakonodajo EU.
A final important consideration is that, by reducing the proportion of inadmissible complaints that it receives, my institution will be be4 er able to fulfil its core role — that of helping citizens who are unhappy with the way they have been treated by the EU institutions and bodies.
Nazadnje pa je pomembno to, da bo moja institucij a z zmanjšanjem deleža nedopustnih pritožb lahko bolje uresničevala svojo ključno nalogo – pomagati državljanom, ki niso zadovoljni s tem, kako jih obravnavajo institucij e in organi EU.
The results that my o ce is able to achieve for such citizens are, without a doubt, the most satisfying aspect of my work.
Rezultati, ki jih lahko moj urad doseže za te državljane, so nedvomno vidik mojega dela, ki me najbolj zadovoljuje.
Many examples of such successes from 2007 are highlighted in this Report.
V tem poročilu so poudarjeni številni takšni uspešni primeri iz leta 2007.
I look forward to continuing this work for European citizens in the year ahead.
Veselim se, da bom v naslednjem letu nadaljeval to delo v korist evropskih državljanov.

Changes have been made to the Report in recent years to improve its user-friendliness.
Poročilo se je v zadnjih letih spreminjalo, da bi postalo prijaznejše za uporabnika.
Further improvements constitute an additional novel feature of the present Report.
V tem poročilu so uvedene dodatne izboljšave.
They can be seen most notably in Chapters 5 and 6, where we have opted to provide an overview and analysis of activities rather than detailed lists of events and meetings as before.
Najočitnejše so v poglavjih 5 in 6, v katerih smo predstavili pregled in analizo dejavnosti namesto prejšnjega podrobnega seznama dogodkov in srečanj.
We hope that this makes for more interesting reading and provides a true reflection of the addedvalue of these important initiatives.
Upamo, da je zato branje zanimivejše in da kaže resnično podobo dodane vrednosti teh pomembnih pobud. Veselimo se vaših odzivov.

The mission of the European Ombudsman
Poslanstvo evropskega varuha človekovih pravic
The o ce of European Ombudsman was established by the Maastricht Treaty as part of the citizenship of the European Union.
Urad evropskega varuha človekovih pravic je bil ustanovljen z Maastrichtsko pogodbo v okviru pravic iz državljanstva Evropske unije.
The Ombudsman investigates complaints about maladministration in the activities of Community institutions and bodies, with the exception of the Court of Justice and the
Varuh preučuje pritožbe o nepravilnostih pri delu institucij
ANNUAL REPORT 2007
LETNO POROČILO 2007 in organov Skupnosti, razen Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti in Sodišča prve stopnje v njuni pravosodni funkciji.
With the approval of the European Parliament, the Ombudsman has defined “maladministration” in a way that requires respect for human rights, for the rule of law and for principles of good administration.
V soglasju z Evropskim parlamentom je varuh človekovih pravic „nepravilnost“ opredelil na način, ki zahteva spoštovanje človekovih pravic, pravne države in načel dobrega upravljanja.
As well as responding to complaints from individuals, companies and associations, the Ombudsman works proactively, launching inquiries on his own initiative, meeting with Members and o cials of the EU institutions and bodies, and reaching out to citizens to inform them about their rights and about how to exercise those rights.
Poleg tega da se varuh človekovih pravic odziva na pritožbe posameznikov, družb in združenj, deluje tudi proaktivno, kar pomeni, da sproža preiskave na lastno pobudo, organizira srečanja s člani in uslužbenci institucijin organov EU, ugotovitve posreduje državljanom ter jih obvešča o njihovih pravicah in tem, kako jih uveljaviti.

On the other hand, the number of admissible complaints increased in both absolute and relative terms, from 449 (12% of the total) in 2006 to 518 (16%) in 2007.
Po drugi strani se je število dopustnih pritožb absolutno in relativno povečalo s 449 (12 % vseh) v letu 2006 na 518 (16 %) v letu 2007.
A total of 58% of all complaints received by the Ombudsman in 2007 were sent electronically, either by e-mail or using the complaint form on the Ombudsman’s website.
Skupno 58 % vseh pritožb, ki jih je prejel varuh človekovih pravic leta 2007, je bilo poslanih elektronsko, po elektronski pošti ali prek obrazca za pritožbe na spletni strani varuha človekovih pravic.
Complaints were sent directly by individual citizens in 3 056 cases and 155 came from associations or companies.
V 3 056 primerih so pritožbe poslali neposredno posamezni državljani, medtem ko so 155 pritožb poslala združenja ali družbe.

Varuh človekovih pravic je lahko pritožnikom pomagal v skoraj 70 % primerov, tako da je začel preiskavo primera, ga posredoval pristojnemu organu ali svetoval, kam se lahko pritožniki obrnejo za hitro in učinkovito rešitev težave.
A total of 303 new inquiries were opened during the year on the basis of complaints.
Med letom so bile na podlagi pritožb sprožene 303 nove preiskave.

As in previous years, most of the inquiries concerned the European Commission (413, or 64% of the total).
Kot v prejšnjih letih se je tudi tokrat večina preiskav (413 ali 64 % vseh) nanašala na Evropsko komisijo.
Given that the Commission is the main Community institution that makes decisions having a direct impact on citizens, it is normal that it should be the principal object of citizens’ complaints.
Ker je Komisija osrednja institucij a Skupnosti, ki sprejema odločitve, ki neposredno vplivajo na državljane, ni čudno, da je glavni predmet pritožb državljanov.
There were 87 inquiries (14% of the total) concerning the European Personnel Selection O ce (EPSO), 59 (9%) concerning the European Parliament, 22 (3%) concerning the European Anti-Fraud O ce, and 8 (1%) concerning the Council of the European Union.

The main types of maladministration alleged were lack of transparency, including refusal of information (in 28% of cases), unfairness or abuse of power (18%), unsatisfactory procedures (13%), avoidable delay (9%), discrimination (8%), negligence (8%), legal error (4%), and failure to ensure fulfilment of obligations, that is, failure by the European Commission to carry out its role as “guardian of the Treaty” vis-à-vis the Member States (3%).
V glavnem so se domnevne nepravilnosti nanašale na nepreglednost, vključno z zavračanjem posredovanja podatkov (28 % primerov), nepravičnost ali zlorabo pooblastil (18 %), nezadovoljive postopke (13 %), nepotrebne zamude (9 %), diskriminacijo (8 %), malomarnost (8 %), pravne napake (4 %) in neizpolnjevanje obveznosti, tj. neuspešnost Komisije pri opravljanju vloge „varuha Pogodbe“ v odnosu do držav članic (3 %).
The main e-mail account of the Ombudsman was used to reply to a total of 7 273 e-mails requesting information in 2007.
Z glavnega elektronskega naslova varuha človekovih pravic je bilo v letu 2007 odgovorjeno na 7 273 elektronskih pisem s prošnjami za informacije.
Of these, 3 127 were mass mailings submi4 ed by citizens and concerned complaints already received by the European Ombudsman, while 4 146 constituted individual requests for information.
Od tega so državljani poslali 3 127 množičnih pisem, povezanih s pritožbami, ki jih je evropski varuh človekovih pravic že prejel, 4 146 pa je bilo posameznih prošenj za informacije. e.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY the institution or body concerned of what it has done, as well as the Ombudsman’s view of the case.
POVZETEK dejanja in varuhovo mnenje o primeru.
Among the examples of cases in which no maladministration was found in 2007 are the following:
Sledi nekaj primerov iz leta 2007, v katerih niso bile ugotovljene nepravilnosti.
!The Ombudsman received a complaint alleging that the European Commission had wrongly failed to take action against Ireland for possible infringement of the EU Habitats Directive.
Varuh človekovih pravic je prejel pritožbo o domnevni nepravilnosti Evropske komisije, ker ni ukrepala proti Irski zaradi mogoče kršitve Direktive EU o habitatih.
The complainant also complained about the Commission’s decision not to take further action on arguments relating to possible infringement of the Waste Directive.
Pritožnik se je pritožil tudi v zvezi z odločitvijo Komisije, da ne bo naprej ukrepala glede trditev, povezanih z mogočo kršitvijo direktive o odpadkih.
The Ombudsman found that the Commission had provided a reasonable explanation of its strategic role in relation to the implementation of these Directives.
Varuh človekovih pravic je ugotovil, da je Komisija zagotovila ustrezno obrazložitev svoje strateške vloge pri uresničevanju teh direktiv.
He also noted that the Commission had given the complainant relevant useful advice in this case. (3660/2004/PB)
Ugotovil je tudi, da je Komisija v tem primeru pritožniku ustrezno in uporabno svetovala. (3660/2004/PB)
!A complainant to the Ombudsman alleged, inter alia, lack of transparency and undue delay by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) in response to concerns she had raised with it about an antidepressant’s safety and suicide risk.
Neka pritožnica je varuhu človekovih pravic predložila pritožbo, v kateri je Evropski agencij i za zdravila (EMEA) med drugim očitala nepreglednost in nepotrebno zamudo, kar zadeva njeno zaskrbljenost glede varnosti nekega antidepresiva in tveganja za samomor.
The complainant’s husband had commi4 ed suicide while taking that drug, and the complainant had contacted the Agency with several questions and requests for information.
Mož te pritožnice je napravil samomor med zdravljenjem s tem zdravilom, zato je na Agencij o naslovila več vprašanj in prošenj za informacije.
In the course of the inquiry, the Agency apologised to the complainant for the fact that it had not replied to certain of her questions and provided answers to these questions.
Med preiskavo se je Agencij a pritožnici opravičila, ker ji ni odgovorila na nekatera vprašanja, in ji na ta vprašanja nato tudi odgovorila.
While the complainant remained dissatisfied, the Ombudsman took the view that the Agency’s action had removed the concerns he had identified and that there was no longer any maladministration. (2370/2005/OV)
Pritožnica še vedno ni bila zadovoljna, varuh človekovih pravic pa je menil, da je Agencij a odpravila pomisleke, ki jih je navedel, s tem pa tudi vse nepravilnosti. (2370/2005/OV)
!Greenpeace complained to the Ombudsman, alleging that the Commission had made inaccurate, misleading and defamatory accusations in relation to a study the NGO had issued on the question of “revolving doors” between the Commission and the lobbying chemical industry.
Organizacij a Greenpeace je varuhu človekovih pravic predložila pritožbo, v kateri je Komisiji očitala neresnične, zavajajoče in klevetniške obtožbe v zvezi s študijo, ki jo je nevladna organizacij a objavila o vprašanju „vrtljivih vrat“ med Komisijo in lobijem kemične industrije.
The Ombudsman’s inquiry concluded that this allegation had not been substantiated.
Varuh človekovih pravic je v preiskavi ugotovil, da ta obtožba ni bila utemeljena.
While finding no maladministration, he underlined the importance of transparency in relation to lobbying activities exercised during the legislative procedures. (2740/2006/TN)
Sicer ni ugotovil nikakršne nepravilnosti, je pa poudaril pomen preglednosti lobiranja med zakonodajnimi postopki. (2740/2006/TN)
Even if the Ombudsman does not find maladministration, he may identify an opportunity for the institution or body to improve the quality of its administration in the future.
Tudi če varuh človekovih pravic ne odkrije nepravilnosti, lahko poišče način, kako v prihodnje izboljšati upravljanje institucij ali organov.
In such cases, the Ombudsman makes a further remark, as he did, for instance in the following case:
V takih primerih lahko da dodatno pripombo, kot je to na primer storil v naslednjem primeru.
!A Polish environmental NGO alleged that the European Investment Bank (EIB) had acted contrary to its own “Environmental Statement” when it co-financed a road modernisation project in Poland.
Poljska nevladna organizacij a za okolje je trdila, da je Evropska investicijska banka (EIB) ravnala v nasprotju z lastno „okoljsko izjavo“, ko je sofinancirala projekt posodobitve cest na Poljskem.
The Ombudsman found no maladministration.
Varuh človekovih pravic ni našel nepravilnosti.
However, given that the complainant had submi4 ed a parallel complaint to the Polish Ombudsman, the European Ombudsman encouraged the EIB to consider establishing channels of communication with, and seeking information from, relevant national and regional control bodies, such as ombudsmen.
Ker pa je pritožnik predložil vzporedno pritožbo tudi poljskemu varuhu človekovih pravic, je evropski varuh človekovih pravic spodbudil EIB, naj razmisli o vzpostavitvi komunikacijskih poti z ustreznimi nacionalnimi in regionalnimi nadzornimi organi, kot so varuhi človekovih pravic, in pridobivanju informacij pri teh organih.
These bodies could serve as additional sources of information concerning compliance of EIB-financed projects with national and European law. (1779/2006/MHZ)
Ti organi bi se lahko uporabljali kot dodatni viri informacij o skladnosti projektov, ki jih financira EIB, z nacionalno in evropsko zakonodajo. (1779/2006/MHZ)
Cases se4led by the institution and friendly solutions
Primeri, ki jih je rešila institucij a sama, in sporazumne rešitve
Whenever possible, the Ombudsman tries to achieve a positive-sum outcome that satisfies both the complainant and the institution complained against.
Varuh človekovih pravic si, če je le mogoče, prizadeva doseči rezultat, s katerim sta zadovoljna pritožnik in institucija, zoper katero je vložena pritožba.
The cooperation of the Community institutions and bodies is essential for success in achieving such outcomes, which help enhance relations between the institutions and citizens and can avoid the need for expensive and timeconsuming litigation.
Pri doseganju takih rezultatov, ki pripomorejo h krepitvi odnosov med institucijami in državljani ter k izogibanju dragim in dolgotrajnim sodnim postopkom, je bistveno sodelovanje institucij in organov Skupnosti.
During 2007, 129 cases were se4 led by the institution or body itself following a complaint to the Ombudsman.
Leta 2007 so na podlagi pritožbe varuhu človekovih pravic institucij e ali organi sami rešili 129 primerov.
This is twice the number of cases se4 led in 2006 and reflects a growing willingness on the part of the institutions and bodies to see complaints to the Ombudsman as an opportunity to put right mistakes that have occurred and to co-operate with the Ombudsman for the benefit of citizens.
To je dvakrat več od tako rešenih primerov v letu 2006 in pomeni vedno večjo pripravljenost institucij in organov, da v pritožbah varuhu človekovih pravic prepoznajo priložnost za odpravljanje storjenih napak in sodelovanje z varuhom v korist državljanov.
Among the se4 led cases in 2007 were the following:
Primeri poravnav iz leta 2007 so naslednji.
