EU agencies help guarantee the safety of the food we eat, the chemicals we are exposed to, the medicines we take and the airplanes we fly in - public trust in their work is paramount. What happens when the expertise they rely on is called into question; when the experts themselves are conflicted? To what extent can they be held responsible for the decisions that are ultimately taken? When things are seen to go wrong, how should they react? And what are the broader implications for public perceptions about the EU?
The European Ombudsman oversees good administration in EU agencies, a role that has led to improvements in many areas, including greater public access to clinical trial results; or more citizen-friendly public consultations; or a revision of rules covering proposals for testing chemicals.
Building on this work, Emily O’Reilly, invites you to a stakeholder discussion on how agencies can implement the highest ethical and transparency standards so as to protect themselves from reputational damage.

Europese burgers, bedrijven of instellingen kunnen een klacht over wanbeheer van een Europese instelling indienen bij de Europese Ombudsman. Deze stelt naar aanleiding van de klacht een onderzoek in. De meeste klachten betreffen onnodige vertraging bij procedures, weigering om informatie te verstrekken, discriminatie en machtsmisbruik. De Ombudsman kan ook op eigen initiatief een onderzoek instellen.
