lpv:spoken text	"As a Member of the CULT Committee, citizenship is a central part of my portfolio. The European Citizens’ Initiative has the potential to strengthen European democracy, empower citizens to participate, and make the EU more responsive to their needs and demands. A European Union of vibrant grassroots citizen engagement is what we would like to see. I voted for this report in order to address the problems of the poor implementation of the European Citizens’ Initiative and the logistical and practical problems associated. The ECI has hitherto fallen short of its promise. With only three initiatives reaching the target for consideration by the Commission, it is clear that the ECI needs to be more user-friendly and that many of the obstacles need to be eliminated before it can become a useful instrument."@en1
