Official launch of citizens Platform One Million
OnemillionvotesforEurope is the platform for citizen's to launch their proposals to strengthen Europe and rally for supporters. It gives citizens directly the opportunity to participate in European affairs. The website anticipates upon a vital upcoming change in the EU Treaty, which gives European citizen's a possibility to influence directly EU policy making: the citizen's initiative as laid down in the Treaty of Lisbon.
Today two initiatives by Candidates of the European Parliament are launched to officially open the website to all citizens. Firstly, Party leader of the Liberals Graham Watson seeks for support for a more open election for the Presidents’ seat in the European Parliament.
And then two Dutch Candidates – Marietje Schaake en Stientje van Veldhoven – are aiming to get support for their proposal to widen the Erasmus Program so that more students can benefit from this successful exchange program.
From today on citizens from all over Europe can vote on these proposals. If the proposals reached One Million supports the European Commission has to come in action according to the Lisbon Treaty.
