lpv:translated text	"For years, there have been proposals for democratisation of the EU with the aim of extending the ever closer economic cooperation by adding the element of citizenship. The next stage of this was the reform of the Lisbon Treaty, in which the concept of European Union citizenship was more precisely defined and an open list drawn up of the rights arising from this. In view of the fact that introducing changes to the Treaties is only the beginning of ‘opening up’ the Union to the citizens, the institutions face the important task of creating legislation which makes it possible to put the Treaties into effect. The Commission report under discussion sums up one year of these efforts. It identifies 25 fundamental obstacles that stand in the way of freedoms and citizens’ rights. One point which should be emphasised is the fact that the failure to put citizens’ rights into effect has meant that citizens do not fully enjoy the freedom of movement or other benefits which being part of the European Union should entail. As well as drawing attention to the obstacles, the report identifies measures which the Commission should put in place in order to mitigate them. It is necessary to agree with the opinion of the Commission and the rapporteur that the most important cause of these obstacles is the low level of citizens’ awareness of EU matters in the Member States and the insufficient enforcement of existing legislation, particularly of that which arises from directives. The unsatisfactory form of legislation appears to be a secondary factor, although this does not mean the legislation is not important. The proposed measures, such as setting up one-stop shops, bringing the e-justice portal into use and adopting subsidiary legislation in the area of family and inheritance law, for example, are the right methods for resolving the problems under discussion. The resolution should be given unanimous support."@en1
