The EU ombudsman found maladministration in the Commission's decision, prompting a recommendation for increased public access to related documents. The proposal has faced opposition from privacy rights groups and lawmakers due to concerns about effectiveness and potential privacy risks. Furthermore, the ombudsman has initiated an investigation into staff transfers from Europol to Thorn, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
