"This new instrument will enable citizens, pursuant to certain criteria, to raise questions on the European agenda using the power of political initiative. It will also enable European citizens to be heard and European issues to be debated at cross-border level. Regulation (EU) No 211/2011 states that the organisers shall be given the opportunity to present the citizens’ initiative at a public hearing, with wide-ranging technical support from the European Parliament and the European Commission. I should like to stress the creation of a ‘one-stop shop’ for dialogue and exchange between citizens to make it easier to implement initiatives, the possibility for speakers to take part in public hearings, and the possibility for reimbursement of transport costs, pursuant to certain rules. Despite the importance of this initiative, it should be stressed that not all initiatives will result in a Commission legislative proposal, but this instrument represents a crucial development in the possibility for debating the European project."@en1
