lpv:translated text	"Firstly, I welcome the launching of the citizens’ initiatives (ECI), which are a step forward in making the EU more democratic. Several initiatives have already been launched, one of which aims to make water a real public good, and another aims to end roaming fees across Europe; these initiatives deserve recognition. The initiatives that are accepted will be presented at a public hearing in the European Parliament. In my view, it is appropriate that these hearings are to be organised by the committee responsible for that particular sphere. The ECIs are different from the complaints dealt with in the Committee on Petitions. Their aim is to alert the institutions to important issues that require European legislation. Naturally, this does not prevent the Committee on Petitions from being involved in organising these hearings, the aim being to attract as much attention as possible to put these issues on the European agenda. I shall therefore closely follow the progress of the first initiatives launched so as to be sure that the commitments made by the Union – both in the Treaties and in speeches – become a reality."@en1
