Revision of Regulation (EU) No 211/2011 on the citizens’ initiative

This legislative-initiative report concerns the revision of the Regulation on the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI). Amendments seek to raise public awareness, simplify registration and personal-data requirements, reduce the minimum number of Member States, lower the eligibility age to 16, extend the collection period, and provide support and legal status for citizens' committees. Others note the Commission's conflict of interest and the impact of the UK's withdrawal.
