lpv:translated text	". I am pleased about the adoption of this report on the European citizens’ initiative introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, which has the objective of assigning to citizens the same powers of political initiative as those currently enjoyed by the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. Each initiative will have 12 months to collect one million signatures, which need to come from at least a quarter of Member States, currently seven. The minimum number of signatories per country varies from 74 250 in Germany to 3 750 in Malta. In Portugal’s case, the minimum number of signatories required to support an initiative will be 16 500. The validity of declarations of support will be gauged by the Member States. In Portugal, an identity card, passport or citizen’s card number will need to be included. Signatories should be EU citizens and be old enough to be able to vote in European elections (18 in Portugal). It will then be up to the Commission to analyse the initiative and decide, within a timeframe of three months, if it will put forward European legislation on the issue. The Community’s executive will then have to ‘indicate the measures that it intends to take, and the reasons that justify these or not’. This justification will be made public."@en1
