Abstract

The establishment of the Office of the European Ombudsman by the Maastricht Treaty was explicit in connection with the demonstration of the Union, as a complex of democratically functioning bodies. Democratically functioning is in necessary connection with transparency, openness and accountability. Transparency and openness are key requirement set as aims by the European Union in connection with the decision-making procedure of bodies and offices, and between the European bureaucracy and the European citizens.In every member state of the European Union there are non-judicial and nonlitigious proceedings to settle the community and administrative disputes. The career of the institution of the ombudsman started in the 1700’s and at present time one of the most important phase was the establishment of the institution at supranational level.
