"The vote on Ms Gurmai’s report marks an important step in the life of the European Parliament and in the process of constructing a people’s Europe. After the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 211/2011 on the citizens’ initiative, which gave the European Parliament the task of organising public hearings for sponsors within three months of presenting the initiative to the European Commission, Parliament’s Rules of Procedure needed to be amended to establish the procedure. The new Article 197a of Parliament’s Rules of Procedure states that the President of the European Parliament shall task the committee responsible for the subject matter with organising the hearing, together with the Committee on Petitions. The involvement of the latter confirms the willingness to give citizens an open dialogue with Parliament, protecting their centrality in relation to the institutional legislators. The hearing phase precedes the start of the proper legislative process and lets sponsors explain their initiative and clarify the reasons behind it, in order to give the executive committee a fuller understanding of it. The latter must then set out its political and legal conclusions in a statement. In my capacity as Chair of the Committee on Petitions, I thank the European Parliament for giving us such a responsible task by a large majority."@en1
