How to Develop a True European Society: the Ombudsman Institution

Summary/Abstract: Since 2004, the European Union has been visibly enhancing its law with direct impact on the citizens’ quality of life. Starting with 2006, a new strategy for deepening the cohesion of the European Union this law is about to be implemented. The citizens could and should become more and more aware of the existing and evolving European constitutional order, where the Western-type, pluralist democracy, on the one hand, and the rule of law, on the other hand, are the main pillars of the polity. The ombudsman/mediation around Europe and beyond is a central tenet of this evolving new order. In 2015, the strategy became visible at the level of both the European Union as a whole and of its Member States. The key issue is to enhance the good governance via an ever better public administration.
