AGE response to the public consultation on the "European Citizens’ Initiative"

Please find below AGE’s response to the public consultation launched on 11h November by the European Commission to help to define the practical details of the “Citizen’s Initiative” provided for by the Lisbon Treaty.

The Citizen’s Initiative will enable one million citizens, from a significant number of member states, to request the Commission to bring forward a policy proposal in an area over which the European Union has competence. The public consultation called for input, which could be given by responding to a Green Paper providing practical questions on how the initiative can best work in practice (number of countries from which people must come, how to check that signatures are real, what form a petition should take, time limits etc.).

Click here for more details on the consultation.

AGE thanks its member organisations for their contributions to this response.
