"I voted in favour of the report on the activities of the Committee on Petitions 2015. The report is intended to give an overview of the work of the Committee on Petitions. The Committee’s work programme is not tied in to the Commission’s legislative programme, being established by citizens as they exercise their right to petition Parliament and share their concerns over various EU policies and legislation. It provides statistics on the number of petitions received, dealt with and closed by the Committee, the countries concerned and the matters raised. The 2015 statistics show most citizens turn to Parliament for assistance with matters relating to the environment, justice, the internal market and fundamental rights. The Committee has the opportunity, and the major challenge, following recent events in the United Kingdom, of maintaining dialogue with citizens, as it has the potential to reconnect institutions and EU citizens. I firmly believe the Committee must listen to and help solve the problems affecting its citizens because, through petitions, it can assess the impact of Community legislation on their everyday lives while making Parliament more responsive, helping to solve problems mainly related to the application of EU legislation."@en1
