"The European citizens’ initiative (ECI) is an instrument of public participation that aims to respond to the democratic deficit and, as such, to reduce the distance that European citizens feel exists between them and European institutions. The institutionalisation of this initiative, provided for by the Treaty of Lisbon, makes it possible for European citizens to invite the European Commission, indirectly, to put forward certain legislative measures, provided that these fall within its powers.
This report, presented by the European Parliament, defines the criteria for implementing this European right of initiative, in order to make it simpler, more accessible, swifter, more transparent and more uniform throughout all Member States. The creation of a real European public space will be possible thanks to this initiative, which will boost civil dialogue and the involvement of civil society. I believe that all initiatives that aim to reduce distances between citizens and the European project should be emphasised, implemented and carried out in full."@en1
