lpv:translated text	". On the occasion of the coming year, 2013, which is a Year of active citizenship, the European Union should direct more attention than it has done to date towards the development of civil society. Among the fundamental aims that the EU wants to achieve is an increase in European citizens’ awareness of their rights, freedoms and opportunities for political participation. I welcome this impulse and will support it through my activities in the European Parliament. I shall also highlight other areas covered by this Year of Citizens: access to information for all EU citizens, support of equal opportunities for women and development of citizens’ mutual respect and European awareness. Therefore, I consider it vital to support the education of citizens – both the younger and the older generations – in areas which help to strengthen European awareness and identity. Initiatives in the regions of the individual Member States are very important, because it is precisely in the local sphere that political and civic activities originate. Citizens’ initiatives represent active citizens, and so require maximum support from the countries of the EU. Citizen participation is the key to preserving, further developing and building democracy."@en1
