I sin klage til Ombudsmanden gjorde klageren gældende, at Kommissionen uberettiget havde nægtet ham aktindsigt i otte udvalgte forslag, og at den havde spildt offentlige midler ved at udvælge unødigt dyreprojekter.
In his complaint to the Ombudsman, the complainant claimed that the Commission had wrongly refused him access to the eight successful proposals, and had wasted public money by selecting unduly expensive projects.
