lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this resolution because the European Parliament welcomes the Commission proposal to make 2013 the European Year of Citizens. The European Year of Citizens must build a ‘bridge’ between Brussels and the EU Member States which would encourage EU citizens to participate actively in elections and would ensure that their voice is heard in the EU institutions. The year 2013 will be very important for promoting and enhancing our shared European identity based on fundamental European Union values. I believe that in the continuing economic crisis the Year of European Citizens will encourage EU citizens to exercise the rights and opportunities that freedom gives them. According to statistics, a third of EU citizens would like to exercise their rights but they still face obstacles in the labour market, such as administrative difficulties, when they come to live in another country. The year is being designated Year of European Citizens to mark the 20th anniversary of EU citizenship, enshrined in the Treaty of Maastricht. All initiatives and awareness-raising campaigns will draw attention to the true value of EU citizenship: active participation in the democratic life of the European Union, especially following the European Parliament elections that will take place in 2014."@en1
