Description: Code of ethics compliance refers to the expression of important values and standards that are also to be found in the law, but not only aspects related to legally-binding issues. Additional information: A code of ethics is a written set of expectations that an organization has for its employees to conduct business in an honest manner. Ethics are values and principles that govern behaviour or conduct. Apart from legislation, the European foundational text "Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union" sets up the different terms and relevant aspects for the proper function of the European Union. All public services provided by public administrations under European Union must be aligned and fully compliant with European Union values. The European Ombudsman is an independent and impartial body that holds the EU’s institutions and agencies to account, and promotes good administration. The Ombudsman helps people, businesses and organisations facing problems with the EU’s administration by investigating complaints about maladministration by EU institutions and bodies, but also by proactively looking into broader systemic issues.
