"With the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, European citizens have, for the first time, the opportunity to directly suggest new laws: at least 1 million EU citizens from at least a third of the Member States can ask the European Commission to make legislative proposals in its areas of competence. The citizens’ initiative is a powerful tool that European citizens can use to identify issues to place on the EU’s agenda. It was introduced in the Treaty with the aim of giving citizens powers of political initiative on a par with those already enjoyed by the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. The changes introduced by Parliament’s amendments further improve the system described above. I therefore voted in favour of the text."@en1
