"I voted for the report on the activities of the Committee on Petitions in 2010. It has a duty to constantly review enhance its role, notably with regard to the development of democratic principles, such as the increased participation of citizens in the EU decision-making process and the enhancement of transparency and accountability. In its regular activity the committee works closely with the Commission, the European Ombudsman, other EP committees, European bodies, agencies and networks and Member States in order to ensure that EU law is fully respected in both letter and spirit. We note the increasing number of petitions and other submissions from citizens seeking legal and financial redress on issues that fall outside the EU’s area of competence, for example, requests to review the calculation of national pensions, overrule decisions by national courts, support proposals to re-draw Europe’s frontiers, and so on. This will facilitate access for citizens to the petitions process, provide them with information and allow them to submit petitions in a more user-friendly environment and sign electronically in support of petitions."@en1
