lpv:translated text	"I support the proposal to designate 2013 the European Year of Citizens. Time and money must be used effectively and rationally to help the EU further increase awareness among its citizens so that they have a better understanding of their rights and unprecedented privileges, the likes of which are not enjoyed by the citizens of the member countries of any other international organisations. Every citizen of the Union has the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States, the right to vote and to stand as a candidate in elections to the European Parliament and in municipal elections in his or her Member State of residence, the right to enjoy protection by the diplomatic or consular authorities of any Member State in a third country, the right to petition the European Parliament, the right to apply to the European Ombudsman and the right to address institutions of the Union as well as a series of rights in various fields such as the free movement of goods and services, consumer protection and public health, equal opportunities and equal treatment, access to employment and to social protection. The development over 20 years of the concept of Union citizenship has produced many positive results but there are still many cases where EU citizens are unable to exercise their rights because of practical obstacles and because they are insufficiently aware of their rights and duties. We are therefore looking forward to the 2013 EU Citizenship Report, which should contain proposals on how to eliminate remaining obstacles. At the end of 2013 I would also like the impact of the awareness-raising and communication campaign on European citizens to be analysed in quantitative studies, which would reveal whether the campaign was effective and whether the objectives were achieved."@en1
