lpv:translated text	"EU citizens should be better informed about their rights and opportunities. We are living in difficult times and therefore it is extremely important to talk about what unites us as Europeans. However, we should not forget that every EU citizen is first and foremost a citizen of a Member State. EU citizenship cannot replace nationality, but can be a useful supplement to it. I agree with the rapporteur that it would be a good idea to amend the title and change ‘European Year of Citizens’ to ‘European Year of Citizenship’. It would be more logical and such a change would also be in line with the European Parliament’s original proposal. The European Year of Citizenship 2013 would thus commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of European citizenship. Through greater visibility of the concrete benefits of Union citizenship for individuals, we can contribute to a better understanding of the importance and benefits of European integration. A common denominator in activities during the European Year should be a strengthening of a sense of belonging, tolerance, mutual understanding, solidarity, and social and civic cohesion."@en1
