"− I supported this report because I find the work of the Committee on Petitions very important in making the activities of European institutions more transparent and ensuring that they provide more information to EU citizens. The report on the activities of the Committee on Petitions 2011 states that the number of inadmissible petitions was significant, indicating that Parliament should increase its effort to inform citizens. Given the current debt crisis in Europe it is only natural that the number of petitions concerning economic and financial issues has increased. I am delighted to see that citizens are more environmentally aware and that they wish to be more involved in this regard, as indicated by the growing number of petitions concerning the environment, which accounted for as much as 16 % of the total number of petitions. This is largely due to problems in applying the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive where the general public have not always been adequately consulted."@en1
