European Ombudsman's decision on the European Commission's failure to reply to correspondence concerning alleged deficiencies in the rule of law and the administration of justice in Germany
Decision
Case 834/2020/EIS - Opened on Monday | 25 May 2020 - Decision on Thursday | 09 July 2020 - Institution concerned European Commission ( Settled by the institution ) - Country Germany
Dear Mr X,
You have lodged a complaint with the European Ombudsman against the European Commission. Your complaint concerned the European Commission’s failure to reply to your correspondence concerning alleged deficiencies in the rule of law and the administration of justice in Germany.
We have informed the Commission of your complaint and asked it to reply to you. The Commission has now informed us that it has done so in the meantime.
The case is therefore closed with the result that the complaint has been resolved.
Please note that this investigation only addressed the Commission’s failure to reply to you. We note that you sent another letter to the Commission on 3 July 2020. The correspondence between you and the Commission is therefore still ongoing. If you do not receive a satisfactory reply to this letter within a reasonable time, you may lodge a new complaint with the Ombudsman. In this case, it would not be necessary to re-send us the documents that are already in your file. A reference to the present reference number would be sufficient in this respect.
Yours sincerely,
Marta Hirsch-Ziembińska
Head of Unit ICT and Investigations
Unit 1
