"Supposed to compensate for the lack of democratic process arranged by the Treaty of Lisbon, the European citizens’ initiative is a sham. It demands that citizens put in an awful lot of work for potentially no result.
This amendment to Parliament’s Rules of Procedure establishes a framework for the organisation of the planned public hearings for the organisers of initiatives who have obtained the million signatures required in at least one quarter of the 27 Member States and in accordance with the quotas imposed per country. It pours contempt on how difficult it actually is to achieve this result. It proposes that Parliament itself decide which of the representatives of the initiative it actually wants to listen to. It proposes having joint hearings for initiatives with a ‘similar subject matter’, this being without the need for prior approval from the initiatives’ organisers. As for initiatives that come to nothing, it reserves the right to monitor their subsequent progress. I voted against this text."@en1
