"I welcomed this document, because a large number of petitioners turn to Parliament for redress on issues that fall outside the EU’s area of competence, such as the enforcement of national courts’ decisions or passivity on the part of various administrations, in the hope that the situation can be resolved by these complaints being forwarded to the competent authorities at national or regional levels. I welcome the new procedure put in place by the European Parliament’s Directorate-General for the Presidency and Directorate-General for Internal Policies with regard to the registration of petitions. We need to bring greater transparency to the management of petitions: internally by giving Members of the European Parliament direct access to petition files via the E-petition system, by simplifying the internal procedure and through close cooperation between the Member States, the Chair and the secretariat of the Committee on Petitions, and externally by establishing an interactive Web portal for petitioners. The petitions process is important and should enable the committee responsible to seek and provide solutions and to defend EU citizens who petition Parliament. It is necessary to increase citizens’ participation in the EU decision-making process, with a view to reinforcing its legitimacy and accountability."@en1
