European Parliament Constitutional Affairs: Documents

Highlights - European Citizens' Initiative - Joint Public Hearing - Committee on Constitutional Affairs 14-02-2018 02:40 PM CET On 21 February in the afternoon, AFCO together with the PETI Committee is holding a public hearing on the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI). The hearing is organized against the backdrop of the Commission's legislative proposal for the revision of the current ECI Regulation. Ever since the first review of the Regulation in 2015, the Parliament has been calling on the Commission to revise the ECI in order to make it more a visible, credible and user-friendly instrument - a challenge on which the current legislative proposal aims to deliver. At the hearing the Members will be able to exchange on this issue with a number of practitioners and experts, which will include NGOs, academia, the European Commission, the European Ombudsman, as well as representatives from the citizen committees of the previous ECIs 'Right2Water' and 'Minority Safepack'.
