"I voted foramending Parliament’s Rules of Procedure with regard to the implementation of the European citizens’ initiative in an effort to demonstrate my support and great appreciation for this form of direct democracy. It is important that EU citizens are now able to directly affect the legislation that governs them in our Union. I find it equally important to protect the involvement of the Committee on Petitions in citizens’ initiatives. For me, that point is quite clear. However, there are others who feel that the Committee on Petitions, which has consistently worked on grievances from EU citizens, could somehow be left out of the process. It is this point that is unsettling. The Committee on Petitions is best suited, and has the required track record, to protect the grievances presented to the EU institutions by our constituents. Furthermore, the Committee has shown the patience and fortitude to ensure that all possible measures are taken to resolve any issues brought forth."@en1
