"I completely support the report by Antigoni Papadopoulou to establish the European Year of Citizens in 2013. In these times of economic and social crisis, it is essential to highlight the rights conferred by European citizenship in order to restore the confidence of our citizens in the European project. Too few people are actually aware of the rights enshrined in European citizenship. We therefore need to support every action aimed at highlighting the rights of European citizens and ensuring that they are applied correctly. European citizenship cannot be a purely declarative phenomenon; it is eminently political. It is by defending and raising awareness of the existing rights and developing new guarantees for citizens that this concept of citizenship will assume substance and force and become tangible for all. It is for those reasons, too, that I support an ambitious budget for this Year, greater than the EUR 1 million approved by the Member States, which is still much less than what we need to achieve our goal of European citizenship in everyday life."@en1
