lpv:translated text	"This is a clearly demagogical initiative, propaganda by the European Union, which only serves to try and hide the impoverishment of democracy that is taking place, and to make us forget that it is those in charge in Europe who prevented a referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon itself, which anticipated the so-called citizens’ initiative. Meanwhile, the Treaty on European Union itself establishes limitations on such a citizens’ initiative by stating, in Article 11, that a million signatures from a significant number of Member States is required, and going on to say that they can only invite the European Commission to put forward an appropriate proposal on issues that these citizens consider to require a Union legal instrument in order to apply the Treaties. In other words, after all the work of collecting signatures and fulfilling the requirements that the draft regulation lays down, there are no guarantees that the citizens’ wishes will be taken into account. In any case, the report approved by the EP improves slightly on the European Commission’s proposal, but must comply with the terms of the Treaty, which initially, in fact limits any deepening of the citizens’ initiative. That is why we abstained."@en1
