Register your initiative

Before launching your initiative and starting to collect statements of support, you have to ask the Commission to register your proposed initiative on this site.

Once you have submitted your request, the Commission will check if your proposed initiative meets the conditions for registration set out in Article 4 of the Regulation on the citizens' initiative and will answer within 2 months.

You cannot start collecting statements of support for your initiative until your registration has been confirmed by the Commission.

Before accessing the registration form

Check:

the procedures and conditions
that your proposed initiative concerns a matter where the Commission has the power to act
that you have all the information you need to fill in the registration form (see sample form)

You are also advised to give a thought to alternative ways of approaching or influencing the EU which may be more appropriate for your request.

Important: You will have 20 hours to fill in the form.

Please note that as organisers of a citizens' initiative, you will be liable and subject to penalties for any infringement of the Regulation on the citizens' initiative, especially false declarations or fraudulent use of data.
