lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank Mr Šefčovič, and also Mr Meyer for the work he has carried out. As in each year, this report summarises the work performed over the previous year and must therefore be seen as acknowledgement and acceptance of it. I will bring together all the criticisms – which I will take as recommendations – put forward by my fellow Members, beginning with Ms Werthmann’s, which relates to a certain repetitiveness in the issues dealt with and a lack of efficiency in the work of the Committee on Petitions. On the issue of the environment, which is a recurring theme in our committee as the subject of many complaints made by citizens, we are currently debating a report that we should like to bring to Parliament asking for the Commission to intervene, bearing in mind the complaints submitted by the citizens of the European Union. However, there have also been some significant events this year. The most important of those listed by my fellow Members was the adoption of the regulation on the citizens’ initiative. This gives legislative power to citizens and is therefore not – as Mr Salvini said – designed to submit petitions on behalf of a greater number of citizens; it hands over legislative power and this is an important fact. With regard to the citizens’ initiative, the Committee on Petitions claimed a role in the regulatory procedure set up to provide for public hearings, as agreed with Mr Šefčovič and others. I hope that there is some action taken on this request put forward by the committee. I think it is also essential to pay a different level of attention to the problems related to the implementation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. This, too, is mentioned in the report and will be the subject of a seminar to be held on 6 October by the Committee on Petitions and the Commission, together with academics and researchers, to provide some answers which can form guidelines for us. Referring one last time to the speech by Mr Salvini, I do not think that the Committee on Petitions can solve citizens’ problems, but it can serve to promote the democracy required to stimulate and build a political Europe."@en1
