lpv:translated text	"Through the Treaty of Maastricht, all citizens in the Union benefit from European citizenship in addition to their national citizenship, which grants the right to travel, study and work in any of the Member States and a series of other related rights. Unfortunately nearly half the citizens are not aware of these rights and cannot make any use of them. Therefore, 20 years after the introduction of European citizenship, the European Year of Citizens in 2013 is most welcome. The actions for 2013 could make people more aware of the rights, values and history of Europe, so that citizens could benefit from the opportunities derived from belonging to the EU. Certainly any initiative that brings citizens closer to the European institutions is useful. Personally, I think that the activities of the European Year of Citizens should be coordinated at EU level so as to make sure that the information is passed on uniformly to all corners of the Union. Unfortunately, the budget earmarked for this programme is insufficient, much lower than funds allocated to other European Years. On top of that, there are no provisions to co-finance the projects of civil society organisations, and therefore we can foresee only a limited success for this initiative."@en1
