Labour MEP Marlene Mizzi has been appointed the Socialists and Democrats’ rapporteur and spokesperson for the petitions committee’s report on the annual activities of the European Ombudsman.
Each year the Ombudsman steps up its supervision powers and evaluates deficiencies and cases of maladministration for the previous year.
Recommendations are then made to improve citizens’ overall trust in the EU civil service.
Ms Mizzi said it was an honour to be appointed as rapporteur by her political group and “on such an important issue for our citizens”.
