Dette romerske princip afspejles i Ombudsmandens arbejde, der i overensstemmelse med hans kompetenceområde stræber mod effektiv at vogte over følgende grundlæggende princip: at enhver har ret til at få sin sag behandlet uvildigt og retfærdigt af EU's institutioner og organer.
This Roman principle can be seen in the work of the Ombudsman, who, working within his area of competence, tries to comply with the fundamental principle that everyone has the right to have their case heard in an impartial and just manner by EU bodies and institutions.
