  • Decision of the European Ombudsman in Case 268/2021/VS Against the European Commission in Relation to a Procedure to Renew the Approval of an Active Substance
    European Ombudsman Decision of the European Ombudsman in case 268/2021/VS against the European Commission in relation to a procedure to renew the approval of an active substance Decision Case 268/2021/VS - Opened on 05/03/2021 - Decision on 05/03/2021 - Institution concerned European Commission ( No maladministration found ) | Dear Mr X, On 8 February 2021, you submitted a complaint to the European Ombudsman on behalf of your client. The complaint concerns the European Commission’s conduct in a procedure to renew the approval of an active substance. We identified the following concerns in your complaint. You contend that: 1. The Commission failed to consider your requests to mandate the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to evaluate a population modelling report. 2. The Commission refused to take into account an October 2020 study, which your client brought to the Commission’s attention on 30 November 2020. You consider that the Commission should immediately suspend the relevant regulatory procedure and request EFSA, as risk assessor, to take into account all eco-toxicological and human health data in the assessment of the substance. After a careful analysis of all the information submitted to us, our assessment is as follows. As a preliminary remark, we note that the substance of your complaint relates to an alleged error by EFSA in conducting its risk assessment. In particular, you are concerned that EFSA did not take into account certain studies that you consider relevant. Your complaint is, however, against the Commission. As such, the Ombudsman examined your concern as to whether the Commission provided adequate replies to the points that your client raised with it.

    European Ombudsman Decision of the European Ombudsman on complaint 1949/2003/(TN)(IJH)TN against the European Commission Decision Case 1949/2003/TN - Opened on 04/11/2003 - Decision on 24/05/2004 Summary of decision on complaint 1949/2003/(TN)(IJH)TN against the European Commission The complaint concerned alleged non-payment for services carried out on the instructions of the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat), which is a service of the Commission. The complainant had carried out a Global Assessment of the statistical system in Kazakhstan on Eurostat's instructions. The contracts were formally concluded with the organisation CESD-Communautaire, but the terms of reference were laid down by, and all the reporting was made to, Eurostat. Eurostat approved the complainant's work report in August 2003, but the complainant had not yet been paid at the time of submitting his complaint in October 2003. The complainant suspected that due to problems within Eurostat, its payments to CESD-Communautaire had been blocked. The complainant alleged that the Commission had failed to ensure payment for the services he had provided in accordance with Eurostat's instructions in relation to certain contracts. The complainant claimed that he should receive the outstanding payment for his services. In its opinion submitted in January 2004, the Commission underlined that it had no contractual relationship with the complainant. According to the Commission, CESD-Communautaire could at the time still submit invoices to it in the framework of the contracts concerned. The invoices submitted by CESD-Communautaire for the complainant up to the date of the Commission's opinion to the Ombudsman had been paid without delay to CESD-Communautaire's bank account on 29 December 2003.

    European Ombudsman Decision in case 624/2018/TE on how the European Commission dealt with a request for access to a list of meetings with stakeholders on the Japan-EU Free Trade Agreement Decision Case 624/2018/TE - Opened on 17/04/2018 - Decision on 17/04/2018 - Institution concerned European Commission ( No maladministration found ) | The case concerned a request for access to a list of meetings between the Commission and stakeholders on the Japan-EU Free Trade Agreement. EU access to documents rules only apply if the requested documents are in the possession of the institution concerned. The Commission rejected the request on the grounds that it has not drawn up such a list. In addition, it stated that it would be a disproportionate administrative burden to create such a list. The Ombudsman was satisfied with the Commission’s explanation for not having such a list and agreed that it was not required to create one. She therefore closed the inquiry with a finding of no maladministration. Background to the complaint 1. The complainant is a civil society organisation based in Brussels. 2. On 7 December 2017, the complainant requested [1] public access to “ a list of meetings of DG Trade officials and/or representatives (including the Commissioner and the Cabinet) and stakeholders, including trade unions, civil society groups, as well as representatives of individual companies, industry associations, law firms, public consultancies and think tanks in which the Japan-EU Free Trade Agreement (JEFTA) was discussed (between January 2017 and today) ”, in line with the EU’s rules for public access to documents [2] .

  • The European Union Approach to Disinformation and Misinformation the Case of the 2019 European Parliament Elections
    University of Strasbourg European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2018/2019 The European Union approach to disinformation and misinformation The case of the 2019 European Parliament elections Author: Shari Hinds Supervisor: Dr Florence Benoit- Rohmer Abstract In the last years, the phenomenon of so called “fake news” on social media has become more and more discussed, in particular after the 2016 US elections. The thesis examines how the European Union is approaching “fake news” on social media, taking the 2019 European Parliament elections as a case study. This research favours the words “disinformation” and “misinformation”, over “fake news”. It, firstly, explores the different way of spreading disinformation and misinformation and how this can affect our human rights. This thesis will, secondly, focus on the different approaches, remedies and solutions to false information, outlining their limits, in order to recommend to the European Union, the best policies to tackle the phenomenon. The research will, thirdly, focuses on how the European Institutions are currently approaching this issue on social media and the steps that have been taken to protect European citizens from disinformation and misinformation; at this purpose the relevant European policy documents will be analysed. This analysis is necessary to understand the ground of the EU elections. The thesis will conclude with the case study of 2019 European Parliament elections. It will find if there have been cases of disinformation on social media and if the actions taken by the European Union have been enough to protect the second largest elections in the world. Key words: fake news, disinformation, misinformation, co-regulation, Russian disinformation campaigns, European Union, 2019 European Parliament elections.

  • Czech Republic
    CZECH REPUBLIC Part II: Non-discrimination 1. Sharing Examples of Good Practice on the National Level In April 2013, Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs started a new feature on its website where examples of good practice concerning different areas of life of elderly persons (non-discrimination, health care, employment, education etc.) will be collected and published. http://www.mpsv.cz/cs/15163 2. Measures for Protection of Rights of Elderly Persons in the Czech Republic National Action Plan Promoting Positive Ageing for 2013-2017 In 2013, the Czech Republic adopted the new national strategic policy document called ”National Action Plan promoting positive ageing for 2013-2017“, which explicitly underlines „protection of human rights of elderly persons“ inter alia as a key principle of this plan. Therefore in the part of the Plan”Human Rights of Elderly Persons“, various tools are set up to implement two main strategic goals: 1) to ensure that the public is better informed about the needs of the elderly persons and is more responsive to them; 2) to provide the protection of elderly persons against all forms of discrimination, abuse or neglect. Among the measures to reach the second goal are: to support all forms of help (psychological, legal, social etc.) to elderly persons (as well as victims of discrimination or abuse) and to develop educational materials and trainings for professional staff (also in institutional care) on how to prevent and recognise abuse of elderly persons. 3. Activities of the Government Council for Elderly Persons and Population Ageing http://www.mpsv.cz/en/4538 The Government Council for Elderly Persons and Population Ageing (hereinafter „the Council“) was established on March 22, 2006 by Government resolution No.
