"The aim of the annual report for 2010 is to provide an overview of the work of the Committee on Petitions, for which the calendar of activities is set by the citizens who exercise their right to petition the European Parliament. It presents a series of statistics on the number of petitions received, closed or dealt with by the Committee, the countries involved and the matters raised. Additional aspects, such as relations with other European institutions and with national and regional authorities or institutional changes with direct impact on the Committee’s activities, complete the picture. It also examines the progress made in implementing each recommendation. Citizens bring before Parliament their concerns about the impact of various EU policies and legislation on their everyday lives. These are mainly matters relating to the environment, fundamental rights, justice and the internal market.
Last but not least, citizens use the petition procedure to appeal against decisions taken by national authorities and to complain about rulings of national courts. The European Commission has made 2013 the European Year of Citizenship in order to drive forward the debate on European citizenship and inform EU citizens of their rights I consider it to be highly positive that the Committee on Petitions wants to support this initiative and offer citizens a direct link to the institutions, guaranteeing that their problems are heard."@en1
