".
Good democracy is founded on absolute respect for the citizens’ rights, and that respect historically encompasses the citizens’ right to table petitions to parliaments. This practice, which might at times appear to be of little use, is above all a sign of democratic humility and readiness to listen to the citizens, which are characteristics of prime importance in a democratic society.
Accordingly, we must publicly acknowledge the existence of the Committee on Petitions in Parliament and the work that it does."@en1
