"I believe in a better Europe. For that reason, I welcome the adoption of the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council that 2013 be regarded as the ‘European Year of Citizens’. I hope that this event will help to raise awareness among European citizens about the benefits of this project. At a time when we are commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Maastricht Treaty being signed, all European citizens should be informed about the contents of the ‘Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union’. I would also like to welcome the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union, which, in addition to raising the self-esteem of European citizens, represents recognition of the work carried out by the EU institutions to consolidate peace in various conflict regions. Europe is an area of free movement of persons and goods where, without losing our national identities, we feel imbued with a spirit of fraternity and solidarity that needs to be propagated. Many European citizens are unaware of their rights as such. For that reason, the ‘European Year of Citizens’ will provide an excellent opportunity to conduct information and awareness campaigns on this project in order to make European citizens more aware and participative."@en1
