"I voted in favour of amending Parliament’s Rules of Procedure with regard to the implementation of the European citizens’ initiative.
I welcome the fact that Parliament’s Rules of Procedure have been clarified. I find it important that in a body such as the European Parliament, the Members of which are elected directly by the citizens, the institution of citizens’ initiatives can be supported as effectively as possible. It is by holding public hearings that the European Parliament can contribute the most effectively to citizens’ initiatives; these must be held within three months from the submission of an initiative to the Commission. I support the Commission’s participation in such public hearings, and agree that the circumstances of the hearings must be laid down in a regulation.
Furthermore, as an MEP, I support the intention to ensure that the organisers of initiatives are heard at the public hearings by MEPs competent in the matter at hand. On the other hand, as a member of the Committee on Petitions, I acknowledge the special role and particular experience of the committee as regards initiatives submitted by citizens."@en1
