The office of the Ombudsman is spearheading a campaign to encourage the European and national parliaments to organize annual hearings of citizens on the application of EU law - say on free movement of people. The same logic can be taken one step down to support direct citizen-led enforcement by watchdog voluntary groups targeting corruption, clientelism and bad governance in old and new Member States especially with regards to the distribution of EU funds. I am grateful to Nikiforos Diamandouros and Alina Pippidi for our discussions on this topic.
