I thank Ms O'Reilly. The report categorises the various agencies with which her office has been dealing. Ms O’Reilly referred to this in her responses to the committee. The European Commission accounts for the vast bulk of complaints, which is understandable. I was surprised because I thought that maybe the European Parliament or whatever might be the next highest.

I was struck by Ms O'Reilly's reference to other institutions or bodies - her report sets out that 10% of complaints related to the European Central Bank, ECB; the European Investment Bank, EIB; and the European Securities and Markets Authority, ESMA; and that 6.5% of complaints related to the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency, EISMEA; and the European Union Agency for Cyber Security, ENISA - because I would have thought that in light of the European Parliament's size and given Qatargate and everything else, there might be more complaints there. Again, I am not asking for specifics but am trying to get a general sense. Those other agencies account for just over 16% of the volume of cases, whereas the Commission accounts for 61% of the cases. It may be straightforward to understand why some cases involve the ECB, but what is driving this volume of complaints regarding the other organisations?
