This is Decision of the European Ombudsman closing his inquiry into complaint 814/2010/JF (regarding European Schools) against the European Commission:
The Commission failed properly to respond to the complainant’s and the Staff Committee’s request for the organisation of an independent external audit of the European Schools. This constitutes an instance of maladministration.
“Educated side by side, untroubled from infancy by divisive prejudices, acquainted with all that is great and good in the different cultures, it will be borne in upon them as they mature that they belong together. Without ceasing to look to their own lands with love and pride, they will become in mind Europeans, schooled and ready to complete and consolidate the work of their fathers before them, to bring into being a united and thriving Europe.”
