> Suggestion for improvement

> 26. Given the Commission’s failure to identify the list of experts despite the complainant’s clear interest in it, the Commission should register this now as a new request for public access to documents and handle it in accordance with Regulation 1049/2001.

I know the ombudsman doesn't really have power and can only provide recommendations but surely "and the people who initially denied the request should be fined/fired/imprisoned" or some such language would have been OK to add? Seems like 'we can ignore the law until someone jumps over the substantial hurdles to complain about us ignoring the law and then we can follow the law' is not good for democracy.
