lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it is a wonderful thing that our constituents have the right to petition this House for non-judicial support in cases in which they feel that they have been wronged or powerful interests need checking. In my first year as a Member of the Committee on Petitions, the voice of people from across Europe has clearly been heard, raising concrete concerns about the TTIP negotiations, violations of EU workers’ rights and historic miscarriages of justice such as the petition brought by the 1984 Cammell Laird strikers. I have been struck that many of the petitioners who come to our committee are desperate, as all other avenues have been blocked or cut off. In hearing, debating and advocating on behalf of our constituents, the committee has an essential role to play in European democracy. That is why we should promote the role of petitions in the work of the European Parliament. We should demonstrate as MEPs in this House that we are here by the people and for the people."@en1
