Press release - Right2water citizens’ initiative: Commission must act, say MEPs - Committee on the E

Aktuality z Európskeho parlamentu 26.06.2015 01:31 The European Commission’s weak response to the first EU citizens’ initiative petition, on the “Right2Water”, could discredit the ECI system, warn Environment Committee MEPs in a resolution voted on Wednesday. It “lacks any real ambition and failed to meet the demands of the organizers”, they add. ECIs enable citizens to ask the Commission to propose laws in areas within its competence, if they can muster at least one million signatures from at least a quarter of EU member states.Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Source :
