The European Parliament failed to give civil society groups timely access to important documents about new tech legislation, so they complained to the European Ombudsman. The Ombudsman completely rips apart the excuses which had been presented by the European Parliament. https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/decision/en/172851

@user_0209 The Ombudsman does not have much power to order the EU institutions to change. Member states did not want to give the Ombudsman such powers. So indeed, all they can do is make political statements. Sometimes that works, but I have not done an in-depth investigation into that.
