"I voted in favour of this proposal on changing the procedure for the submission and examination of petitions to make it more efficient, transparent and impartial. EU citizens can submit a petition to the European Parliament on subjects, which fall within the EU’s fields of activity or are directly related to them. Parliament is thus given the opportunity to draw attention to citizens’ rights infringed by Member State or local government institutions. I welcome the proposals set out to improve means of allowing issues of importance to European citizens to be brought to plenary, as well as the proposal to give Parliament more opportunities to call witnesses, conduct investigations and organise on-site hearings. This would enhance the visibility, accountability and transparency of the Committee on Petitions. I welcome the cooperation between the Committee on Petitions and the services of the European Ombudsman."@en1
