Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15 a. Takes note of the European Ombudsman’s decision of 5 February 2021 in strategic inquiry OI/3/2020/TE on 'how the ECDC gathered and communicated information during the COVID-19 crisis' and appreciates the conclusion that no maladministration has been found; notes, however, that despite the acknowledgement of the Ombudsman of the efforts made by the Centre during the COVID-19 crisis to conduct its scientific assessment in a transparent manner, the Ombudsman considers that the mandate of the Centre prevents an independent collection of data, limiting in a significant way its tasks and, furthermore, that there is room for the Centre to improve how it communicates information to the public offering their translations in the largest number of official languages possible; asks the Centre to report to the discharge authority about measures taken for such an improvement;
