lpv:translated text	"Our citizens have been waiting for this new instrument, which will give them some influence over EU policy. They have already demonstrated that they will know how to use it to have their say in the legislative debate: take the petition for a moratorium on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) launched by Greenpeace and Avaaz, which was sent last week to Commission President José Manuel Barroso. Sadly, the citizens have acted before the legislators and the petition arrived before the rules of procedure, which will make the citizens’ initiative operative in early 2012, had been defined. It is up to us Members of Parliament therefore to relay and support the request expressed by almost 1.2 million people and to ensure that it is properly followed up. Parliament succeeded in using its influence in the talks with Council and the Commission to make the initiative as accessible and effective as possible and paved the way. There is now nothing to stop citizens from participating directly in the functioning of the EU."@en1
