I voted in favour because the Commission has proposed designating 2013 as the European Year of Citizens in order to raise people’s awareness of the benefits and rights afforded by EU citizenship and stimulate their active participation in Union policy-making. The involvement of the public is a fundamental component of democratic governance and well designed and communicated public consultations are one of the main tools giving substance to the EU’s policy of transparency. To date their potential for bridging the communication and information gap between citizens and the EU has not been fully exploited. The Commission must actively seek communication with ordinary citizens by making full use of existing communication channels to disseminate consultations and conduct them in conjunction with NGOs and other stakeholders."@en1
