After organisers submit a valid European citizens’ initiative with numbers of verified signatures to the European Commission, the examination phase begins. Organisers meet the Commission within one month, where they get to present the objectives of their initiative. The European Parliament then invites the organisers to a public hearing. The Commission must reply to the citizens' initiative within six months after submission, setting out any action it plans to take (if any) and why. Learn more about the steps
