lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome the intense efforts of the Committee on Petitions to encourage the active participation of European citizens in the European Union’s decision-making. The 20 %rise in the number of petitions submitted in 2011 compared to 2010 shows that citizens are interested in contributing directly to the way in which the EU institutions adopt important decisions. I am, however, concerned that approximately 30 % of all petitions submitted were declared inadmissible, which means that the citizens are not sufficiently well informed of the eligibility criteria; this can be remedied by awareness and information campaigns across the Union. On the other hand, in respect of the issues covered, it is important to note the rise in the number of petitions on the environment, which reflects the citizens’ concerns in this area, but also indicates serious problems in the management of projects that damage the environment."@en1
