O'Reilly re-elected as ombudsman
By EUobserver
Emily O'Reilly was re-elected as EU ombudsman on Tuesday by an overwhelming majority (569 out of 678 votes) of MEPs. The EU "must become the ‘gold standard’ in ethics, transparency, accountability and effectiveness," said O'Reilly after the vote. Her mandate will run for five years, until 2019.
