lpv:translated text	". Citizenship is inextricably linked to participation in the political life of a Member State. It is the sign of belonging to a particular group, not only in a strictly legal sense, but also on a very practical level. The right to vote at local level is one way of participating. Third country nationals can already participate in many ways in local life within the European Union. Granting them the right to vote at local level means recognising an additional right, but this recognition is not without its associated duties. Third country nationals who can prove that they have lived in the European Union for at least five years must therefore show a voluntary commitment if they are to be granted the right to vote in local elections. This commitment must confirm compliance with democratic values and human rights as laid down, amongst others, by the Constitutions and national legislation, as well as by the European Convention on Human Rights of 1950, which protects in particular freedom of conscience and religion, and prohibits any form of discrimination on the grounds of religion, sex or race. Citizenship must be defined by certain civic behaviour as much as by active and daily participation in society."@en1
