lpv:translated text	"This report amends the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament to accommodate the role forced on Parliament in the so-called ‘citizens’ initiative’. We think this initiative has numerous limitations. It was promoted demagogically to whitewash the European Union’s attacks on democracy. If the intention is to listen to citizens, why were the peoples barred from having a say on the Treaty of Lisbon and why are they now being barred from having a say on the fiscal pact? What this initiative means is that 1 million signatures collected in a significant number of Member States trigger the ability to ‘invite’ the European Commission to table a suitable proposal concerning issues on which these citizens think there is a need for an EU legal act to apply the Treaties. In other words, there is no guarantee to the citizens that their demand will be considered. The amendments to the Rules of Procedure simply regulate Parliament’s participation in this process."@en1
