I note that in 2021 the European Ombudsman's office opened 338 inquiries investigating complaints. Ms O'Reilly referred to her office's own-initiative investigations in matters of public interest. Does that extend to Qatargate? I am sure there are many own-initiative investigations in the European Ombudsman's office? Some will arise from complaints, I presume, and then others will be own-initiative investigations. Will Ms O'Reilly elaborate on the own-initiative investigations?
