".
The right to move and reside freely within the territories of Member States is an essential individual right arising from Union citizenship and all citizens ought to be fully aware of it and profit from the multitude of rights accorded by the legislation of the Union.
The European Year of Citizens also provides vital momentum for greater awareness of Union citizenship and stimulates citizens to participate in the democratic life of the Union, so as to solve democratic deficits and the low turnout at European elections. There is a need for practical ways to eliminate the gulf between EU institutions and European citizens, to address democratic deficits and the low turnout at European elections. Citizens must have access to simple and transparent information about the European Parliamentary elections, to programmes and objectives of political parties and candidates and to know their electoral rights. In addition, the procedures must be simplified.
I am asking for an information, education and awareness campaign, easily accessible and without restrictions, for EU citizens and especially for vulnerable groups. I also request that the Commission issue a comprehensive manual that will explain the terminology, scope and substance of Union citizenship to promote a better understanding of the concept."@en1
