"One of the most frequent criticisms levelled at the European Union concerns the democratic deficit, or the lack of opportunities for citizens to influence European decision-making processes. As the only institution whose members are directly elected by citizens, the European Parliament is particularly sensitive to these issues and, in 2010, it adopted the report on the proposal for a regulation on the citizens’ initiative: this is an opportunity for citizens to make their voices heard, and to bring issues of interest to the attention of the European institutions. An early example was seen a few weeks ago, when a committee of citizens living in Austria, Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, Romania and Spain presented an initiative to improve EU exchange programmes."@en1
