lpv:translated text	"I wish to congratulate the authors of the report for the outcome of the vote achieved in committee. The citizens’ initiative is of great symbolic value and offers one of the most effective ways of strengthening democracy in the EU. Citizens must find the new instrument easy to use, accessible and credible. I should mention that during the negotiations with the Council, Romania managed to achieve a balance between the initiative’s accessibility and stipulating provisions preventing its abuse. I think that the latest amendments include faster ‘admissibility’ for checking proposals, a lower threshold for the number of participating countries and an easier process for signing petitions. I would like to stress how important it is to regulate this instrument throughout the whole of Europe. We must look for a solution which will encourage the general public’s involvement. With this in mind, communication activities and information campaigns play an important role."@en1
