I voted in favour of the report on the European Year of Citizens (2013). Citizenship of the Union was introduced through the Maastricht Treaty of 1993, to strengthen and reinforce the European identity, and it enabled European citizens to participate actively in the European process of integration. The common objective of the European Year is to raise the awareness of citizens about their rights arising from Union citizenship when they exercise their right to move and reside freely in another Member State. A Eurobarometer study, published in September 2011, shows that among the most common problems that EU citizens face when they reside, study or work in another EU country are the lack of information and awareness of their rights as well as the language barriers and the non-recognition of diplomas and qualifications. These barriers become more severe at the present times of financial, political and social crisis within the EU, because of the negative consequences of the crisis, including the rise of unemployment and social unrest."@en1
