lpv:translated text	"Full exercise of the right of petition is essential to achieving the European project. The main focus of the work of the Committee on Petitions during 2011 was on the environment and fundamental rights. This was the case in discussions on petitions in committee, new petitions received, reports and hearings, and fact-finding visits. Furthermore, the number of new petitions increased, whereas the number of petitions registered steadily declined. This can be explained by the new filtering process introduced as of June 2011, by which so-called non-petitions were answered by other services. Given that the environment is the area with the highest number of petitions and infringement cases, representing almost 20 % of the total number, the Committee on Petitions invited Commissioner Potočnik to its meeting. I voted in favour of this report, given the important work of the Committee on Petitions. Despite a significant step having been taken towards reaching out to citizens, I would highlight the Committee on Petitions’ call to improve its web portal on the European Parliament’s website."@en1
