"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon confirmed the right to petition the European Parliament as one of the cornerstones of European citizenship. This fundamental tool allows citizens to bring before Parliament their concerns over the impact of various EU policies and legislation on their everyday lives.
However, an analysis of the various statistics shows that, for those petitions declared inadmissible, this is mainly because petitioners continue to confuse the European and national competences. This shows that efforts must be stepped up to better inform citizens of what the right of petition is all about.
Furthermore, we intend to stress once again the need to create a Europe-wide one-stop shop to provide advice for citizens who consider that their rights have been infringed. This remains, in our view, a very important objective which we need to achieve extremely quickly."@en1
