These recommendations are also based on the resolution of the National Council E54 XVII. GP, which gave rise to the Ombudsman Board to also add to the reports, directories classified according to departments, regarding these recommendations. It can also be gathered from these directories, which recommendations have resulted in a legislative change and which were noted for implementation by the departments for government bills. The directories also contain recommendations in respect of which a reaction by the federal legislator is not anticipated during the foreseeable period. Regarding the result of these legislative recommendations by the Ombudsman Board to the departments, reference can be made to the comments in the 25th Report to the National Council and Federal Council for the Year 2001, on p. 26 et seq. 18
