The petitioner believes this could ease future European integration and counter the citizen-perceived democratic deficit within the Union. The petition encourages the furtherance of the programme and its educational benefits, covering the origins and history of the integration process, the EU institutions and basic decision-making structures, and the rights deriving from EU citizenship.

The purpose of the mission was to respond to the concerns raised by numerous petitioners on the public health effects and environmental degradation of local areas, purportedly caused by protracted industrial activity linked to the ILVA steel plant and non-compliance with EU environmental legislation.
