The Ombudsman may be dismissed by the Court of Justice at the request of the European Parliament if he or she no longer fulfils the conditions required for the performance of his or her duties or if he or she is guilty of serious misconduct.
Féadfaidh an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an tOmbudsman a bhriseadh arna iarraidh sin do Pharlaimint na hEorpa mura gcomhallfaidh sé nó sí a thuilleadh na coinníollacha is gá chun a fheidhmeanna nó a feidhmeanna a fheidhmiú nó má bhí sé nó sí ciontach i mí-iompar tromchúiseach.
