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