lpv:translated text	"− The European Year of Citizens offers us an important opportunity to put European citizenship at the heart of the European debate. There is far too little awareness of this issue among Europe’s citizens, especially as regards the rights attached to it. Euro-fatigue, Euroscepticism and even hostility to Europe are the direct consequences of this deficit. The European Year of Citizens therefore offers a great opportunity to bring the European project closer to citizens and to contribute to the development of a European public sphere. This is the only way to ensure the active involvement of the people. Europe does not only need politicians; above all, it needs people who are willing and able to engage in society. If the European Year is to be successful, two key prerequisites must be fulfilled: firstly, European civil society organisations must be closely involved in preparation and implementation. Secondly, there must be appropriate deployment of financial resources. The funding currently earmarked for this purpose is certainly not commensurate with the significance of the European Year for 2013 and the opportunities that it affords."@en1
