The Ombudsman is elected for a 5-year renewable term by the EU Parliament.
The #Ombudsman deals with complaints and carries out inquiries into cases of alleged maladministration in the activities of the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, except the CJEU.
Currently the position is held by an Ombudswoman, Teresa Anjinho, whose offices are in Brussels and Strasbourg.

Some context that I explained at the start of this #EPSOprep series:
I am studying for an exam about the EU, that would allow me to become a civil servant. It's called the #EPSO, which stands for European Personnel Selection Office.
This year they are organising the first exam for "generalists" since 2019, and 170k people signed up. So I am making content out of my efforts to prepare, so sometimes I get real niche...
Who is the #EuropeanParliament building named after, which houses the hemicycle (the main debate chamber) in Strasbourg?
This is a fun one, that I chose for a reason! All three names exist in the EU bubble!
The EU Commission’s Directorate General for Oceans and Fisheries is called DG MARE.
The council meets under the name AGRI*FISH*
But in the European Parliament? It’s the PECH committee!
You can’t make this stuff up, really!
Gotta love #EU Affairs!
