"Mr President, in 2011 our work in the Committee on Petitions was concentrated in two main areas: protection of the environment and protection of fundamental rights. This year, as in previous years, the number of individuals submitting petitions rose to 1 414. Sadly, as many as 416 of these were deemed inadmissible. Because of this, efforts must be redoubled to make citizens aware of the scope of the legal framework within which our committee functions.
I view with satisfaction Parliament’s decision to involve the Committee on Petitions in every hearing on a successfully conducted European Citizens’ Initiative. This partnering of the committee responsible, which is objectively competent in the case in question, confirms the status of the Committee on Petitions as the agency that has the greatest experience in relations with people living in the European Union.
To sum up, I would like to emphasise the importance of the decision to introduce technical solutions to give citizens easier access to the submission of petitions, including the development of a more transparent and practical portal on its website, and also the creation of a ‘single service’ for citizens looking for information or wanting to lodge an appeal."@en1
