"The European citizens’ initiative should bring the citizens closer to the European institutions. This new instrument for participative democracy, provided for in the Treaty of Lisbon, should provide European citizens with the possibility of being heard and of contributing to deciding what issues are to be included in the EU’s political agenda. The European Parliament should contribute to realising these objectives, particularly by organising public hearings, so Parliament’s Rules of Procedure will have to be amended. I support the rapporteur’s proposals concerning the creation of a ‘one-stop shop’, so as to facilitate exchange and dialogue with the public, as well as the proposals on holding hearings in whichever committees are to tackle a given subject. These public hearings will have to take place whenever this citizens’ initiative has gathered more than 1 million citizens’ signatures from at least seven Member States. Once it has, the Commission will then record it in the register and send it to the European Parliament, whose President will have to forward it to the competent committee. The citizens’ initiative will doubtless be a powerful instrument for strengthening the people’s Europe by encouraging more participation and the dynamic exercise of European citizenship."@en1
