lpv:translated text	"Mr President, our citizens’ mistrust of the European Union is growing. The low turn-out at the EU elections speaks volumes. If the European Citizens’ Initiative is interpreted in such a way that only a few are able to take advantage of it, this will only exacerbate the situation. Our group is therefore calling for the rules not to be made too stringent. For example, issues may still be relevant to Europe as a whole even if the first million signatures come from only a very few countries. However, as the European Parliament, we can also do something to take the citizens’ initiative seriously. We can take a decision in this Chamber that every time a citizens’ initiative is approved, we will undertake to conduct a debate here – a debate that may lead to a statement on the initiative in question. In this way, we will also be taking citizens’ wishes seriously and I hope that the groups can work together to bring about the adoption of something along these lines, for example, in the form of an amendment to the rules of procedure."@en1
