lpv:translated text	"I am voting for this report since, if we want to give impetus to a citizens’ initiative – that is, for a European-level group of citizens to be able to invoke the need for a piece of European-level legislation – it is essential to ensure the maximum level of transparency and democracy in this process. I therefore share the rapporteur’s view that hearings should be held by the competent committees whilst participation in the petition is ongoing. Similarly, it would be a step forwards if there were a ‘one-stop shop’ to handle citizens’ initiatives, under the responsibility of the Vice-President, who would ensure a stable atmosphere. A legislative act launched by the citizens is an exceptional indicator of the European Union’s progress as regards the development of democracy, so we should ensure that it is implemented as well as possible."@en1
