"The year 2013 will mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of citizenship of the Union. It is essential to put Union citizenship right at the centre of the political agenda.
This is all the more true at a time when families, businesses and European citizens are feeling the effects of severe crisis.
Today’s vote approved the proposal to make 2013 the European Year of Citizens, in order to enhance awareness of the rights attached to Union citizenship.
Union citizens often lack awareness of their rights, including the rights to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States, vote and to stand as candidates in elections to the European Parliament and in municipal elections in their Member State of residence, and to petition the European Parliament.
I hope that these measures to enhance awareness and promote citizens’ participation will be effectively applied."@en1
