Delay in reacting to the complainant's observations in an infringement case (Añadido el: 8 de febrero de 2012)

Summary of decision on complaint 489/2011/MHZ against the European Commission

A Polish NGO submitted a complaint to the Commission alleging that Poland infringed EU environmental law by allowing the construction of a high voltage power line in an inhabited area. The Commission took a preliminary decision to close the complaint file and invited the complainant to submit observations. After the complainant did so, it took the Commission seven months to take a final decision. The complainant alleged that its case had been mishandled and turned to the Ombudsman.

In its opinion, the Commission was not able to justify its delay. However, it provided an exemplary statement of reasons for its decision to close the infringement complaint in its letters sent directly to the complainant. It referred in detail to its contacts with the Polish authorities regarding the infringement case and exhaustively explained why it considered that EU law had not been violated.

24 de enero de 2012: Ombudsman achieves friendly solution: NGO receives EUR 70 000 from the Commission

The European Ombudsman, P. Nikiforos Diamandouros, has helped settle a dispute between the European Commission and the NGO Migration Policy Group (MPG) concerning an EU project launched as part of the "European Migration Dialogue". After an audit, the Commission issued a recovery order for more than EUR 130 000 because MPG had delivered too late supporting documents for staff costs. The Commission eventually accepted a friendly solution proposal from the Ombudsman and refunded EUR 70 000 to the NGO.

Mr Diamandouros commented: "I very much welcome the Commission's positive reply to my friendly solution proposal. Friendly solutions are an excellent tool to achieve win-win outcomes for both complainants and the EU institutions concerned and should be used as often as possible whenever conflicts arise in EU projects or programmes."
