"It remains a worrying fact that most petitions submitted by European citizens concern issues of justice and fundamental rights. The number of petitions on such matters increased in 2011, mainly because of the incorporation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights into the Treaty, and they concern an issue which the competent committee has repeatedly examined. In this report, for which I voted, the European Parliament calls on the Commission to enforce the Charter dynamically, not conservatively, in response to citizens’ expectations arising from the incorporation of the Charter into the Treaty. At the same time, despite the fact that its position was not accepted at the first stage, the European Parliament insists that the elimination of a lower age limit for petitions must be adopted, and that public hearings must be instituted in the European Parliament, as symbolic and substantive acts which will strengthen democracy and accountability at Community level."@en1
