"I support the recommendations made in Zita Gurmai’s report to amend the European Parliament’s Rules of Procedure. There is extraordinary unanimity that, in order to strengthen participatory democracy in the European Union, mechanisms must be established to ensure that citizens can participate directly in policy making. Once these amendments are implemented, citizens will obtain the opportunity to have their say on determining the topics on the agendas of the EU institutions. In other words, citizens will have the opportunity to hold public hearings on topics that various citizens’ associations consider to be currently relevant and problematic, with the participation of representatives of the relevant spheres of the EU institutions, and with funding envisaged for that purpose. The organising of public hearings would give citizens the opportunity to bring forward – and draw their representatives’ attention to – topics that might otherwise not be on the agenda, but which nevertheless deserve to be examined. This report sets out how, and under whose responsibility, this mechanism would begin to function in the European Parliament."@en1
