It is against this background that the European Citizens’ Initiative is particularly important since it gives citizens the opportunity to express their concerns in a very concrete way and to influence the European political and legislative agenda.

On 31 March 2015, the Commission published its first report on the implementation of this instrument. After only three years of existence, the facts show the interest of the general public for the Citizens’ Initiative. About six million citizens have already made use of their new right, and three initiatives have managed to gather more than one million signatures. This booklet provides its readers with all the necessary details on how to organize a Citizens' Initiative, how to get started and how to successfully conclude the process.
