lpv:translated text	"I believe that the inclusion of the European Citizens’ Initiative in the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon marks an important step in the consolidation of democracy in the European Union. Another important way of exercising and consolidating democracy is the use of referendums. I wish to digress at this point by telling you that three referendums have been held in Romania since 2004, with the last one on the switch to a unicameral system and a reduction in the number of MPs. There was a 51% turnout, with an overwhelming majority voting in favour of the proposal. I wish to welcome the Commission’s initiative in launching a broad public consultation on the regulation online. This will determine the number of states from which signatures need to be collected, the minimum number of signatures from each country, and the rules for verifying them. I would like to end by asking the Commission when it thinks that this regulation will come into force, as I believe it must be finalised as soon as possible."@en1
