"The European citizens’ initiative, established by the Treaty of Lisbon, entered into force on 1 April 2012 as an example of direct democracy and a useful tool for opening up new horizons for European citizens. Thanks to this initiative, the citizen is put at the centre of the European decision-making process. 1 million citizens, from at least seven Member States of the EU, can ask the European Commission to make a legislative proposal. I am in favour of the report since the legislative initiative, if well developed, is a real democratic tool. European structures and their members often distance themselves from relationships with territories and citizens: we only need to consider that the Council and Commission are made up of appointed members, and only Parliament is made up of members elected by the public."@en1
