lpv:translated text	"Active citizenship is a cornerstone of the democratic development of the states in which citizens live, and thus of the entire EU. The citizens’ initiative will be a powerful tool that European citizens can use to identify issues that they think require legislative treatment. The citizens’ initiative was introduced by the Lisbon Treaty, with the aim of giving citizens the power of political initiative. This report is a step towards strengthening direct democracy, and it will lead to better communications between the institutions of the EU and its citizens. In this way, EU citizens will have the possibility of directly communicating the problems they consider important, and EU institutions will be able to respond directly and in various ways. Such direct links are, in my view, very important, and I have therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
