"On 9 May, the Commission registered its first European citizens’ initiative: a petition entitled ‘ ’, which I myself signed to give this youth-focused initiative a helping hand. What indeed could be more relevant than banking on our future generations and strengthening European exchange programmes that have stood the test of time, such as Leonardo, Erasmus or the European Voluntary Service. The Gurmai report voted on this afternoon is not, in truth, aimed at the issues that citizens want to reclaim for themselves; instead, it looks more at the process and role that the European Parliament will play in promoting this tool of direct democracy. It wisely proposes organising public hearings on the most promising citizens’ initiatives. Given the six petitions already registered in the race for a million signatures, I just hope that the European Parliament will take it upon itself to only support those petitions of general interest, those that are inclusive rather than divisive. Out goes then the initiative ‘ ’, whose questionable objective is to ban all forms of research on embryonic stem cells. When it comes to this type of issue, a more liberal and humanist approach is self-evident."@en1
