Portuguese Ombudsman hosts 2nd ENO Meeting
Deputy Ombudsman Teresa Anjinho welcomed in Lisbon the second regional meeting of the European Ombudsman Network (ENO). The meeting took place on 9 and 10 December and focused on the exchange of experiences on the handling of complaints and possible parallel inquiries between the European Ombudsman and national Ombudsman on matters relating to the application of EU law.
The European Network of Ombudsmen was established in 1996. It links the European Ombudsman with national and regional Ombudsman to ensure that complainants can receive the appropriate level of assistance. ENO helps to share information on Community law and its impact on EU Member States. It facilitates cooperation between providers with a view to safeguarding the rights of EU citizens and persons covered by Community law.
Present at this regional meeting were representatives of the EU Ombudsman and the Ombudsmen from Spain, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Malta, as well as Portugal.
