"Raising awareness among the general public of the rights and responsibilities associated with Union citizenship is vital so that both the rights and duties resulting from European citizenship are effectively observed. It is only by exercising these rights that the continuing obstacles in this respect can be identified and eliminated. European citizens themselves therefore have a vital role to play in strengthening those rights through their participation in civil society and democratic life, alongside the European institutions, which must run awareness-raising campaigns such as this one involving the European Year of Citizens. For all those reasons, I voted for this report, although I deplore the drastic cut in the budget for this initiative, when this is such a vital issue for the democratic culture of the Union."@en1
