"On 15 December 2010, a regulation was adopted enabling 1 million European citizens to ask the European Commission to table legislation on a given issue. The rules implementing the ‘citizens’ initiative’, approved today by the European Parliament, state that signatories need to come from at least seven Member States. In Portugal’s case, at least 16 500 signatories will be required to support an initiative. The Treaty of Lisbon created a ‘citizens’ right of initiative’, under which 1 million European citizens can ask the European Commission to table certain legislative proposals. Today, we are going to make the necessary amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament required to make the ‘citizens’ right of initiative’ a reality."@en1
