The Ombudsman investigates complaints about maladministration in the
V soglasju z Evropskim parlamentom je „nepravilnost“ opredelil na naÏin, ki vkljuÏuje spoštovanje Ïlovekovih pravic, pravne države in naÏel dobrega upravljanja.
As well as responding to complaints from individuals, companies and associations, the Ombudsman works proactively, launching inquiries on his own initiative and reaching out to citizens to inform them about their rights and about how to exercise those rights.
Poleg tega, da se odziva na pritožbe posameznikov, družb in združenj, deluje tudi proaktivno, to pomeni, da sproža preiskave na lastno pobudo in ugotovitve posreduje državljanom ter jih obvešÏa o njihovih pravicah in tem, kako jih uveljaviti.
Complaints and inquiries in 2005
Pritožbe in preiskave v letu 2005
During 2005, the Ombudsman received 3 920 complaints, an increase of 5% compared to 20041.
Skupno število pritožb v letu 2004 znaša 3 920, kar je v primerjavi z letom 2004 poveÏanje za 5 %.1
A record 59% of all complaints received by the Ombudsman in 2005 were sent electronically, either by e-mail or using the complaint form on the Ombudsman’s website.
Rekordnih 59 % pritožb leta 2005 je bilo poslanih v elektronski obliki, po elektronski pošti ali prek obrazca s spletne strani varuha Ïlovekovih pravic.
Complaints were sent directly by individual citizens in 3 705 cases, while 215 came from associations or companies.
V 3 705 primerih so pritožbe poslali neposredno posamezni državljani, medtem ko so 215 pritožb poslala združenja ali podjetja.
In over 75% of cases, the Ombudsman was able to help the complainant by opening an inquiry into the case, transferring it to a competent body, or giving advice on where to turn for a prompt and eTective solution to the problem.
Evropski varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je lahko pritožnikom pomagal v veÏ kot 75 % primerov, s tem ko je primer raziskal, ga posredoval pristojnemu organu ali svetoval, kam se lahko obrnejo za pravoÏasno in uÏinkovito rešitev težave.
A total of 338 new inquiries were opened during the year on the basis of complaints (including one joint inquiry dealing with 389 individual complaints).
Med letom je bilo na podlagi pritožb sproženih 338 novih preiskav (vkljuÏno z eno skupno preiskavo, ki je obravnavala 389 posameznih pritožb).
The Ombudsman also began fi ve inquiries on his own initiative.
Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je izvedel pet preiskav na lastno pobudo.
In 2005, the European Ombudsman dealt with a total of 627 inquiries, 284 of which were carried over from 2004.
Leta 2005 je Evropski varuh Ïlovekovih pravic izvedel skupno 627 preiskav, od katerih jih je bilo 284 prenesenih iz leta 2004.
As in previous years, most of the inquiries concerned the European Commission (68% of the total).
Kot v preteklih letih se je tudi tokrat veÏina preiskav nanašala na Evropsko komis` o (68 % vseh preiskav).
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.
Glede na dejstvo, da je Komis` a osrednja instituc` a Skupnosti, ki sprejema odloÏitve in neposredno vpliva na državljane, je normalno, da je glavni predmet pritožb državljanov.
There were 73 inquiries concerning the European Communities Personnel Selection OU ce (EPSO), 58 concerning the European Parliament and 14 concerning the Council of the European Union.
73 preiskav se je nanašalo na Urad za izbor osebja Evropskih skupnosti (EPSO), 58 na Evropski parlament in 14 na Svet Evropske un`e. e.
The main types of maladministration alleged were lack of transparency, including refusal of information (188 cases), unfairness or abuse of power (132 cases), discrimination (103 cases), unsatisfactory procedures (78 cases), avoidable delay (73 cases), negligence (44 cases), 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 (37 cases), and legal error (29 cases).
V glavnem so se domnevne nepravilnosti nanašale na pomanjkanje preglednosti, vkljuÏno z zavraÏanjem posredovanja podatkov (188 primerov), nepraviÏnost ali zlorabo pooblastil (132 primerov), diskriminac`o (103 primeri), nezadovoljive postopke (78 primerov), nepotrebne zamude (73 primerov), malomarnost (44 primerov), neizpolnjevanje obveznosti, tj. neuspešnost Komis` e pri izvajanju vloge „varuha Pogodbe“ v odnosu do držav Ïlanic (37 primerov) in pravne napake (29 primerov).
A total of 3 269 individual requests for information were received by e-mail, compared to around 3 200 in 2004 and 2 000 in 2003.
Po elektronski pošti je prispelo 3 269 posameznih zahtev v primerjavi s 3 200 v letu 2004 in 2 000 v letu 2003.
In 2005, the Ombudsman closed 312 inquiries, of which 302 were inquiries into complaints and ten were own-initiative inquiries.
Leta 2005 je varuh Ïlovekovih pravic zakljuÏil 312 preiskav, od katerih sta bili 302 preiskavi o pritožbah, štiri pa preiskave na lastno pobudo.
The findings were as follows:
Rezultati preiskave so naslednji:
In 114 cases, the Ombudsman’s inquiry revealed no maladministration.
V 114 primerih preiskava ni razkrila nepravilnosti.
This is not necessarily a negative outcome for the complainant, who at least receives the benefit of a full explanation from the institution or body concerned of what it has done or receives an apology.
To ni nujno negativen izid za pritožnika, ki vsaj prejme temeljito razlago instituc` e ali organa o svojem dejanju oziroma opraviÏilo. Na primer:
The European Commission explained the reasoning behind its decision not to pursue an inquiry against the Spanish authorities concerning alleged discrimination based on sexual orientation.
• Evropska komis` a je pojasnila argumente za svojo odloÏitev, da ne bo sprožila preiskave proti španskim organom glede domnevne diskriminac`e na podlagi spolne usmerjenosti.
The specific problems encountered by the complainants — a Spanish national and an Argentine national — fell outside the scope of Community law, it said.
Dejala je, da posebne težave, s katerimi sta se sreÏala pritožnika – španski in argentinski državljan – ne sod`o na podroÏje zakonodaje Skupnosti.
In line with the Commission's
Vendar ni izkljuÏil možnosti, da bi lahko bili minimalni standardi jasnejši oziroma
It should be noted that 335 of these complaints were on the same subject and were treated in a single joint inquiry (see summary of case 3452/2004/JMA and others in the sub-section entitled “no maladministration”).
Treba je opozoriti, da se je 335 teh pritožb nanašalo na isto zadevo in so bile obravnavane v eni skupni preiskavi (glej povzetek zadeve 3452/2004/JMA in druge v podpoglavju z naslovom „brez nepravilnosti“).
He did not, however, exclude the possibility that the minimum standards could be expressed more clearly or that a more cross-sectoral and holistic approach to consultation could be appropriate in some cases and informed ECAS of the possibility of making such suggestions to the Commission. (948/2004/OV)
POVZETEK bi bil lahko v nekaterih primerih primernejši medsektorski in celostni pristop k posvetovanjem, ter obvestil ECAS, da bi lahko to predlagal Komis`i. (948/2004/OV)
The Ombudsman's inquiry into the free lending of books from public libraries helped clarify both the reasons for the Commission's decision to start infringement proceedings against Spain and the possibilities to correctly implement the relevant Community Directive without undermining this free lending.
• Preiskava varuha Ïlovekovih pravic glede proste izposoje knjig v javnih knjižnicah je pomagala pojasniti razloge za odloÏitev Komis`e, da bo proti Špan`i uvedla postopke za ugotavljanje kršitev, in možnosti za pravilno izvajanje ustreznih direktiv Skupnosti brez spodkopavanja te proste izposoje.
The Ombudsman was acting on the basis of 389 complaints which alleged that the Commission's decision to pursue this case against Spain undermined the existence of public libraries as a basic public service and went against the fundamental rights of citizens to have access to culture.
Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je deloval na podlagi 389 pritožb, ki so navajale, da je odloÏitev Komis` e o uvedbi primera proti Špan`i spodkopala obstoj javnih knjižnic kot osnovne javne storitve in kršila temeljne pravice državljanov do dostopa do kulturnih dobrin. Preiskava je bila zakljuÏena, ko so varuha Ïlovekovih pravic obvestili, da je Komis` a zadevo predala SodišÏu Evropskih skupnosti.

(3452/2004/JMA in drugi)
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 Ïe varuh Ïlovekovih pravic ne ugotovi nepravilnosti, lahko poišÏe naÏin, kako v prihodnosti izboljšati upravljanje instituc` ali organov.
In such cases, the Ombudsman makes a further remark, as he did, for instance in the following cases:
V takih primerih lahko oblikuje dodatno pripombo, kot je to storil v naslednjih primerih:
The Ombudsman suggested that the Commission review its internal rules on telephone logs in the framework of calls for tender.
• Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je predlagal, da Komis` a preuÏi svoja interna pravila o telefonskih izpiskih v okviru razpisa.
This followed his inquiry into the propriety of a telephone conversation that had taken place between the Commission services and the complainant's rival bidder.
To je sledilo njegovi preiskavi o primernosti telefonskih pogovorov, ki so potekali med službami Komis` e in konkurentom pritožnika pri razpisu.
The Ombudsman found no evidence of impropriety but noted that it would have been easier for the Commission to deal with the complainant's concerns if it had been able to produce a wrimen record of the telephone conversation in question. (1808/2004/JMA)
Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic ni našel nobenega dokaza o neprimernosti, vendar je opozoril, da bi se Komis` a lažje odzvala na pomisleke pritožnika, Ïe bi lahko pripravila pisno evidenco zadevnega telefonskega pogovora. (1808/2004/JMA)
Following an inquiry into complaints that the Commission and the Council failed to ensure a s u U cient number of parking spaces for people with disabilities near their main buildings in Brussels, the Ombudsman welcomed their requests to the Belgian authorities to ensure additional parking places and asked to be kept informed of the results.
• Na podlagi preiskave pritožbe, da Komis` a in Svet nista zagotovila dovolj parkirnih mest za invalidne osebe v bližini njunih glavnih zgradb v Bruslju, je varuh Ïlovekovih pravic pozdravil njune zahteve belg`skim organom, da zagotov`o dodatna parkirna mesta, in zahteval, da se ga obvešÏajo o rezultatih.
He invited the Council, in addition, to reconsider its policy of limiting access to its own parking spaces for disabled people on grounds of security and, in this regard, suggested it follow the example of the Commission.
Poleg tega je varuh Svet pozval, naj zaradi varnosti ponovno razmisli o svoji politiki omejevanja dostopa do njegovih parkirnih mest za invalidne osebe, in mu v tej zvezi predlagal, naj sledi primeru Komis` e. (2415/2003/JMA in 237/2004/JMA).
With a view to improving the eUciency and transparency of its relationship with citizens, the Ombudsman stated that the Commission could clarify its procedures for dealing with complaints concerning the use of EU financial assistance.
• Z namenom izboljšanja uÏinkovitosti in preglednosti svojih odnosov z državljani je varuh Ïlovekovih pravic izjavil, da bi Komis` a lahko pojasnila svoje postopke za obravnavo pritožb v zvezi z uporabo fi na n Ï ne podpore EU.
This followed his inquiry into the Commission's handling of a complaint concerning the reduction of a grant by the regional authorities of Madrid.
To je sledilo njegovi preiskavi, kako je Komis` a obravnavala pritožbo v zvezi z zmanjšanjem dotac`regionalnih organov v Madridu.
As a result of the Ombudsman's inquiry, the Commission agreed to provide information to the complainant, acknowledging and apologising for its delay in informing him about its handling of his case. (274/2004/JMA)
Zaradi preiskave varuha Ïlovekovih pravic je Komis` a privolila, da bo pritožniku zagotovila informac`e, ter priznala svojo zamudo pri obvešÏanju pritožnika o obravnavi njegovega primera in se opraviÏila zanjo. (274/2004/JMA)
The European Personnel Selection OU ce (EPSO) agreed to include in future notices of competition clarification that (i) an invitation to am end the pre-selection tests does not imply that the candidate's eligibility has been fully checked and (ii) the wrimen tests of candidates who are subsequently found to be ineligible will not be marked.
• Urad za izbor osebja Evropskih skupnosti (EPSO) se je strinjal, da bo v prihodnja obvestila o razpisih vkljuÏil pojasnilo, da (i) povabilo k sodelovanju na preskusih predhodne izbire ne pomeni, da je bila ustreznost kandidata v celoti preverjena, in da (ii) pisni preskusi kandidatov, za katere je bila naknadno ugotovljena neustreznost, ne bodo ocenjeni.
This followed a further remark made by the Ombudsman in light of an inquiry into a complaint from a Hungarian citizen who had applied to take part in an open competition for assistant translators.
To je sledilo dodatni pripombi varuha Ïlovekovih pravic glede preiskave pritožbe madžarskega državljana, ki se je pr`avil k sodelovanju na javnem razpisu za pomoÏnika prevajalca.
The Ombudsman felt that including this information would help to avoid misunderstandings and to improve relations with candidates. (839/2004/MHZ)
Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je menil, da bi vkljuÏitev te informac` e pomagala pri izogibanju nesporazumom in izboljšala odnose s kandidati. (839/2004/MHZ)
The Commission semled a late payment case with a German science journalist, explained the reasons for the delay and agreed to pay interest.
• Komis` a je z nemškim znanstvenim novinarjem uredila primer glede zamud pri plaÏilu, pojasnila razloge za zamudo in soglašala s plaÏilom obresti.
It confirmed that it had, in the meantime, taken measures to accelerate payments to experts.
Potrdila je, da je v tem Ïasu sprejela ukrepe za pospešitev plaÏil strokovnjakom.
The complainant subsequently pointed out that he had been paid within only 30 days for his latest contract. (1266/2005/MF)
Pritožnik je pozneje izjavil, da je dobil za zadnjo pogodbo plaÏilo v samo 30 dneh. (1266/2005/MF)
The Council assisted the Ombudsman in semling a case concerning the termination of the contract of a civilian IT expert in the European Union Police Mission (EUPM) in Sarajevo with the result that the EUPM agreed to pay the complainant the salary due to the normal end of his contract.
• Svet je varuhu Ïlovekovih pravic pomagal pri ureditvi primera v zvezi s prekinitv`o pogodbe civilnega strokovnjaka na podroÏju informac`ske tehnolog`e v Polic`ski mis`i Evropske un`e (EUPM) v Sarajevu z rezultatom, da se je EUPM strinjal z izplaÏilom plaÏe pritožniku zaradi obiÏajnega izteka pogodbe.
As regards the complainant's claim that the Council should clear him of all allegations against him, the Ombudsman stated that the complainant was entitled to regard the Ombudsman's fi finding in his earlier case as clearing his name, as the Ombudsman had confirmed in that case that the complainant's rights of defence had not been respected. (471/2004/OV)
Kar zadeva trditev pritožnika, da bi ga moral Svet razbremeniti vseh obtožb proti njemu, je varuh Ïlovekovih pravic izjavil, da pritožnik lahko šteje, da so ugotovitve varuha v njegovem prejšnjem primeru oprale njegovo ime, saj je varuh Ïlovekovih pravic v tem primeru potrdil, da se ni upoštevala pravica pritožnika do obrambe. (471/2004/OV)
The Commission released two lemers it had sent to the United Kingdom authorities in the framework of an infringement procedure, as well as the United Kingdom's response and apologised for the undue delay in handling the application for these documents.
• Komis` a je objavila dve pismi, ki jih je v okviru postopka za ugotavljanje kršitev poslala organom Združenega kraljestva, ter odgovor Združenega kraljestva in se opraviÏila za nepotrebno zamudo pri obravnavi vloge za te dokumente.
Following further inquiries, the Commission also agreed to give the complainants access to three CD-ROMs containing the information the United Kingdom authorities had sent to the Commission to support their case.
Po nadaljnjih preiskavah se je Komis` a strinjala, da bo pritožnikom omogoÏila dostop do treh CD-ROM-ov, ki vsebujejo informac`e, ki so jih organi Združenega kraljestva poslali Komis` i za podporo njihovega primera.
The infringement procedure concerned the United Kingdom authorities' alleged failure to follow Community law regarding a large landfill site near the complainants' homes. (3381/2004/TN)
Postopek za ugotavljanje kršitev je zadeval domnevno neupoštevanje zakonodaje Skupnosti s strani organov Združenega kraljestva v zvezi z velikim odlagališÏem blizu bivališÏ pritožnikov. (3381/2004/TN)
When the Ombudsman finds maladministration, he always tries to achieve a friendly solution if possible.
Ko varuh Ïlovekovih pravic ugotovi nepravilnost, vedno najprej poskuša doseÏi sporazumno rešitev.
In some cases, a friendly solution can be achieved if the institution or body concerned oT ers compensation to the complainant.
V nekaterih primerih to pomeni odškodnino, ki jo je instituc` a ali organ pripravljena ponuditi pritožniku.
Any such oTer is made ex gratia: that is, without admission of legal liability and without creating a precedent.
V tem primeru gre za dejanja ex gratia: to pomeni brez dopustitve pravne odgovornosti in brez oblikovanja precedensa.
During 2005, 22 friendly solutions were proposed.
Leta 2005 je bilo predlaganih 22 sporazumnih rešitev.
Seven cases were closed in 2005 a W er a friendly solution had been achieved (including one case where the proposal was made in 2004).
Sedem primerov je bilo zakljuÏenih po tem, ko je bila dosežena sporazumna rešitev (vkljuÏno z enim primerom, ko je bil predlog vložen leta 2004).
At the end of 2005, 18 proposals for friendly solutions were still under consideration, including two cases in which the Ombudsman asked the Commission to re-examine its earlier rejections of proposals that were made in 2004.
Ob koncu leta 2005 je bilo 18 predlogov še v postopku preuÏitve, vkljuÏno z dvema primeroma, v katerih je varuh Ïlovekovih pravic od Komis` e zahteval, da ponovno preuÏi svojo zavrnitev predlogov iz leta 2004.
Among the friendly solutions achieved in 2005 were the following:
Leta 2005 so sporazumno rešitev dosegli v naslednjih primerih:
The Commission agreed to pay compensation of EUR 596 to a complainant whose case was not handled properly and in a timely fashion.
• Komis` a se je strinjala s plaÏilom odškodnine pritožniku v višini 596 EUR, katerega primer ni bil ustrezno in pravoÏasno obravnavan.
It acknowledged that due to several misunderstandings and administrative errors, the complainant had not been paid in due time.
Priznala je, da zaradi nekaterih nesporazumov in upravnih napak pritožnik ni prejel pravoÏasnega plaÏila.
It added that a number of elements identified by the Ombudsman as well as the exceptional circumstances of the case had led it to propose the amount of EUR 596 as compensation to the complainant.
Dodala je, da so številni elementi, ki jih je identificiral varuh Ïlovekovih pravic, kot tudi izjemne okolišÏine primera vodili k temu, da je predlagala znesek 596 EUR kot odškodnino pritožniku.
This sum corresponded to the interest accrued on the outstanding payment. (1772/2004/GG)
Ta znesek je ustrezal obrestim na neopravljeno izplaÏilo. (1772/2004/GG)
Following the Ombudsman's inquiry into Parliament's information campaign in Finland for the European elections held in June 2004, the institution promised that its information oU ce in Helsinki would ensure that even greater care was taken in future in the use of languages.
• Komis` a se je strinjala, da bo portugalski državljanki v duhu sprave plaÏala 1000 EUR, potem ko je priznala, da bi lahko sprejela ustrezne ukrepe in jo obvestila, da ne more zaÏeti delati pred datumom, ko bo dejansko nastopilo njeno delovno razmerje.
The Swedish Assembly of Finland had complained that posters used as part of the information campaign had been published only in the Finnish language.
Pritožnica je ravnanje Komis` e oznaÏila za nepošteno, ker je ta sprejela odloÏitev, da ne more delati dela kot operaterka v klicnem centru, takoj ko je nastopila svojo službo.
Critical remarks, draW recommendations and special reports
KritiÏne pripombe, osnutki priporoÏil in posebna poroÏila
When a friendly solution is not possible, the Ombudsman may close the case with a critical remark or make a draW recommendation.
Je sporazumna rešitev ni mogoÏa , lahko varuh Ïlovekovih pravic zakljuÏi primer s kritiÏno pripombo ali sestavi osnutek priporoÏila.
A critical remark is normally made if it is no longer possible for the institution concerned to eliminate the instance of maladministration, the maladministration appears to have no general implications and no follow-up action by the Ombudsman seems necessary.
KritiÏno pripombo obiÏajno sestavi, Ïe je prepozno, da bi instituc` e primer nepravilnosti odpravile,Ïe nepravilnost nima splošnih posledic ali se zdi, da nadaljnji ukrepi varuha niso veÏ potrebni.
A critical remark confirms to the complainant that his or her complaint is justified and indicates to the institution or body concerned what it has done wrong, so as to help avoid maladministration in the future.
KritiÏna pripomba pritožniku potrjuje, da je bila pritožba upraviÏena, instituc`am ali organom pa pokaže, kje so ravnali napaÏno, kar jim nadalje pomaga ugotoviti, kako bi se podobnim nepravilnostim lahko izognili. Leta 2005 je varuh sestavil 29 kritiÏnih pripomb. Na primer:
The Ombudsman criticised the Council for failing to deal with a request for public access to documents properly and carefully.
• Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je Svet kritiziral, ker ni ustrezno in temeljito obravnaval zahteve po javnem dostopu do dokumentov.
This followed an inquiry which revealed that, contrary to the Council's initial response to the complainant concerning the number of relevant documents, many additional documents in fact existed.
To je sledilo preiskavi, ki je pokazala, da so, v nasprotju s prvotnim odgovorom Sveta pritožniku glede števila ustreznih dokumentov, dejansko obstajali številni dodatni dokumenti.
As a result of the Ombudsman's investigation, the complainant was given access to the additional documents.
Posledica preiskave varuha Ïlovekovih pravic je bila, da je bil pritožniku omogoÏen dostop do dodatnih dokumentov.
As the Council had introduced new internal rules in this area, the Ombudsman stated that he trusted that problems of the sort identified in the present case would no longer occur in the future. (1875/2005/GG)
Ker je Svet na tem podroÏju uvedel nova interna pravila, je varuh Ïlovekovih pravic navedel, da verjame, da se težave, ki so se pojavile v sedanjem primeru, v prihodnosti ne bodo veÏ ponovile. (1875/2005/GG)
The Ombudsman criticised the Commission in a case of late payment to a small German company which was a sub-contractor in the Galilei project.
• Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je kritiziral Komis` o zaradi zamud pri plaÏilu majhnemu nemškemu podjetju, ki je bilo podizvajalec pri projektu Galileo.
This inquiry revealed a more general problem, namely that the relevant contractual framework neither required nor encouraged the main contractor to claim interest on behalf of sub-contractors if there was late payment by the Commission.
Ta preiskava je pokazala na splošno težavo, in sicer, da ustrezen pogodbeni okvir ni niti zahteval od glavnega izvajalca niti ga ni spodbujal, da zahteva plaÏilo obresti v imenu podizvajalcev, Ïe bo Komis` a zamujala s plaÏilom.
The Ombudsman therefore suggested that the Commission consider altering its standard contracts so that payment of interest in such cases would become automatic.
Varuh Ïlovekovih pravic je zato predlagal Komis`i, naj premisli o spremembi svojih tipskih pogodb, tako da bi plaÏilo obresti v takih primerih postalo samodejno.
