The Council was briefed by the Commission on preparations for implementation, as from 1 April, of the so-called European citizens' initiative, which will make it possible, with one million signatures, for EU citizens to call for legislative proposals on a specific issue.
Komisjon andis nõukogule ülevaate ettevalmistustest seoses nn Euroopa kodanikualgatuse rakendamisega alates 1. aprillist, mis annab ELi kodanikele võimaluse miljoni allkirjaga taotleda konkreetseid küsimusi käsitlevate seadusandlike ettepanekute esitamist.
