lpv:translated text	"Citizens are at the heart of the European Union’s policies. This is confirmed in a series of documents, presided over by the Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Unfortunately, although they enjoy many rights, EU citizens are often unable to exercise them because they are unaware that they have these rights. An interesting discussion during the launch of Single Market Week, in which it was predominantly citizens participating, revealed this lack of information to be a huge problem and, ultimately, a real barrier to making full use of the opportunities offered by the internal market. One of the most important opportunities is the right of freedom of movement within the EU. It is this right that will allow us to develop the mobility that is of such key importance to the European economy. Exploiting the potential arising from mobility depends, however, on citizens being fully informed of the rights associated with it. I welcome the Commission’s proposal to make 2013 the European Year of Citizens, because it will be a great opportunity to communicate information in the most effective way possible to citizens in every corner of the EU and at EU, national, regional and local level. I voted in favour of the report because I have always stressed the importance of the effective communication of information. Furthermore, I believe that the European Parliament, as the most democratic of the EU institutions, should uphold the rights and responsibilities of and their genuine exercise by more than 500 million Europeans."@en1
