lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this proposal because the overall purpose of the proposed European Year is to enhance awareness of the rights attached to Union citizenship, in order to help citizens make full use of their right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. Unfortunately, Union citizenship is not visible enough and there is a lack of awareness of the concrete benefits it provides to EU citizens, students, workers, consumers, and business people as well as to providers of goods and services. The proposal provides a new momentum to the debate on Union citizenship and puts the informed and effective exercise of this right at the centre of the political agenda. I therefore believe that it is particularly important to strengthen Union citizenship at all levels and at every stage of the democratic process, to make citizenship an especially important dimension of EU policies and a key priority in all areas of EU action. In order to enhance citizens’ participation in the democratic life of the Union, citizens must be aware of how they can truly benefit from EU rights and policies, and exercise them everywhere within the societies of the EU Member States. I am convinced that by giving greater visibility to Union citizenship and to its concrete benefits for individuals, a better understanding of the value of European integration is guaranteed."@en1
