"This report by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs sets out the conditions for organising public hearings, which Parliament and the European Commission will hold with the organisers of European citizens’ initiatives (ECIs) having obtained a minimum of 1 million signatures from citizens from at least one quarter of EU Member States. The Committee on Petitions, of which I am a member, will organise the hearings, taking into account the committees responsible for the initiative. As the committee closest to the citizens, the Committee on Petitions has many years of experience in dealing with citizens’ complaints, which justifies its role in the organisation of the ECIs. The ECI is effectively a natural extension of the work of the Committee on Petitions. Furthermore, by assigning management of the practical arrangements to this committee, the institution is offered greater clarity in respect of European citizens. This report also mentions the importance of strengthening the rules on transparency when preparing initiatives as well as the need to simplify procedures. To this end, a practical guide will be drawn up to provide citizens with clearer information regarding the arrangements for the scheme."@en1
