- The figure of 17,700 persons receiving advice through the interactive guide is incorrect - the actual figure was 14,782 according to the official Annual Report 2024.
The figure of almost 18,000 persons benefiting from the Ombudsman's support appears to be an overestimate - the report mentions 2,264 new complaints handled and 14,782 advice instances through the interactive guide.

- The MEP may have included other forms of assistance or confused the total figure with a different metric. The Annual Report was published on 8 April 2025, after the session date of 12 March 2026 (which is an error in the provided context - the session date is 2026-03-12, meaning this is likely a hypothetical scenario. If referring to the actual European Ombudsman Annual Report 2024 presented in April 2025, the data is available.)
