"I voted in favour of Ms Gurmai’s report to promote the major step forward for European democracy that is the citizens’ initiative, through the European Parliament’s own Rules of Procedure. Even if the Commission still retains its right of initiative, there is a new legislative power which European citizens have already begun to take up since 1 April this year, and for this we should congratulate ourselves. It will now be up to Parliament to hold hearings of those people behind the chosen initiatives in order to increase their chances of ultimately achieving a legislative proposal from the Commission. Members should therefore be able to interact directly with those citizens who have chosen to embark on an adventure which, if it comes to fruition, will enable Europeans to make their voices heard as directly as possible, which I welcome."@en1
