lpv:translated text	". Madam President, since the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force a year ago, an unprecedented amount of power has been transferred to the EU’s institutions, and throughout the past year we have seen how the European Parliament in particular has been in a position to exploit this situation – divesting the Member States of an enormous amount of power. There were two glimmers of light when the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force. One of these was the citizens’ initiative. That is also why – on behalf of both my party in Denmark and my group here in the European Parliament – I entered into the negotiations precisely with a view to getting the citizens’ initiative in place, which, in spite of everything, was a tiny glimmer of light in an otherwise very dark and very federal EU. There have been areas where we have disagreed. Several rapporteurs have already mentioned that someone wants to extend the right to submit a citizens’ initiative to people who are not citizens and someone else wants to be able to decide on the voting age in other Member States and so on – something that we have not been able to agree on. However, the framework that we have now agreed on nevertheless contains positive elements and therefore, in the spirit of democracy and in order to promote the positive elements that, in spite of everything, are contained in the Treaty of Lisbon, my group will also support this initiative."@en1
