"I chose to vote for this report in response to problems relating to major issues such as calls for the implementation of the revised petitions administrative procedure in the EP and ending the practices of politicising the PETI Committee in time of national elections. The number of petitions received is modest when compared to the EU’s total population, which indicates that the vast majority of EU citizens are not yet aware of the right to petition or of its possible usefulness as a means of drawing the attention of the EU institutions and the Member States to matters which affect them and about which they are concerned. Even though some EU citizens are aware of the petition process, there is still widespread confusion about the EU’s field of activity, as is shown by the high number of inadmissible petitions received (39.4 %). The proper treatment of petitions throughout the whole process is crucial to ensuring recognition that the right to petition is respected. Petitioners tend to be citizens engaged in the improvement, and the future wellbeing, of our societies. The experience of these citizens with regard to how their petitions are treated could determine their future opinion on the European project."@en1
