PURPOSE: to present EU citizenship report\n 2010 on dismantling the obstacles to EU citizens’ rights.
BACKGROUND: as the Court of Justice of\n the European Union has stated on several occasions, EU citizenship is\n destined to be the fundamental status of Member States' nationals,\n enabling those who find themselves in the same situation to enjoy within the\n scope of the Treaty the same treatment in law irrespective of their\n nationality. The Court has, in particular, ruled that citizens are entitled\n to reside in another Member State purely as citizens of the Union, thus\n recognising EU citizenship as a source of the right of free movement.
The entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty\n strengthened the notion of EU citizenship and its accompanying rights in\n several ways. The right of EU citizens in third countries to enjoy protection\n by the consular and diplomatic authorities of all Member States is enshrined\n as a clear individual right in the TFEU and the Lisbon Treaty complements\n citizenship rights by introducing a new right, the Citizens’ Initiative,\n which enables one million citizens to invite the Commission to bring forward\n legislative proposals.
The rights inherent in EU citizenship are\n further enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, which is\n legally binding. In addition, EU citizenship rights are firmly anchored in primary\n EU law and substantially developed in secondary law. Those who are\n taking advantage of the European project by extending aspects of their life\n beyond national borders, through travel, study, work, marriage, retirement,\n buying or inheriting property, voting, or just shopping online from companies\n established in other Member States should fully enjoy their rights under the\n Treaties.
However, a gap still remains between\n the applicable legal rules and the reality confronting citizens in their\n daily lives, particularly in cross-border situations. The large number of\n complaints and enquiries the Commission receives every year, recent\n Eurobarometer surveys, and discussions with stakeholders, provide ample\n evidence of the many obstacles standing in the way of citizens’ enjoyment of\n their rights. The European Parliament’s report on ‘Problems\n and prospects concerning European citizenship’ detailed persistent\n obstacles to the cross-border enjoyment of rights and called on the\n Commission to list these obstacles and to make concrete proposals for\n addressing them.
The Commission seeks now to reinforce\n EU citizenship, by revitalising the link between the citizens and the EU and\n by giving real effect to their rights. This report shows how EU\n citizenship brings rights and benefits to citizens. It describes main\n obstacles that citizens still encounter in their daily lives when they\n exercise their EU rights across national borders and outlines the measures\n envisaged to empower them to enjoy their rights.
The report is issued in parallel with the\n Communication \"Towards\n a Single Market Act: For a social market economy”, which focuses\n on the elimination of obstacles by Europeans when exercising their rights\n conferred to them by the Single market acquis, i.e. when they are acting as\n economic operators within the Single market, for instance as entrepreneurs,\n consumers or workers.
CONTENT: the report aims to tap into EU\n citizens’ ideas, concerns and expectations, whilst bringing them closer\n together in the process. It is intended to open a debate and exchange on how\n EU citizenship can fulfil its potential in terms of enhancing Europeans' life\n chances by delivering concrete benefits that will have a visible impact.
In many of the areas, the lack of EU\n legislation is not the main reason why citizens are facing obstacles in the\n exercise of their rights. In some instances, the existing rules need to\n be expanded or updated or even radically overhauled to keep pace with\n evolving socio-economic or technological realities.
The majority of actions identified to\n dismantle obstacles fall into three main categories:
The EU needs to deliver at all these\n levels to make sure that citizens' rights are a tangible reality. This report\n identifies 25 short- and medium-term initiatives for tackling the obstacles\n to citizens’ enjoyment of their rights. The Commission will:
Follow-up:\n the Commission considers this to be the beginning of a process for further\n identification of obstacles that citizens still face and solutions for them.\n The report will launch a debate with other EU institutions, notably the\n European Parliament and the Council, the European Economic and Social\n Committee and the Committee of the Regions, and with civil society. This\n process should allow the Commission to present in 2013, a European year to be\n dedicated to citizens, an assessment of its output and the initial impact of\n the report's actions.
The Commission will then be in a position\n to announce an ambitious and comprehensive action plan toward completing the\n removal of persistent obstacles standing in the way of citizens’ enjoyment of\n their rights.
\nThe Committee on Petitions adopted the\nown-initiative report drafted by Adina-Ioana VÃLEAN (ADLE, RO)\non the EU Citizenship Report 2010: Dismantling the obstacles to EU\ncitizens rights.
\nMembers welcome the EU Citizenship Report 2010\nand call on the Commission to ensure that\nthe legislative and non-legislative measures provided for in the\nreport are put forward as soon as possible.
\nRight to petition the European\nParliament: noting that, although the\nright to petition the European Parliament is expressly provided for\nin the Treaties, it is not sufficiently well known or used, and\ntherefore Members call for improved, active communication to\ncitizens about their right to petition in one of the official\nlanguages of the European Union. The report calls on the Commission\nto join it in doing more to advertise the right to petition through\ntheir offices in the Member States, their decentralised information\nnetworks.
\nEuropean Citizens Initiative\n(ECI): the report\ncalls for the effective, transparent and accountable implementation\nof the ECI Regulation (which will apply from 1 April 2012) and, in\nparticular, calls on the EU institutions and Member States to put\nin place all the necessary administrative and practical\narrangements in a timely manner, to take an active role and\nparticipate effectively in informing citizens about this new\ninstrument. Members take the view, moreover, that the Committee on\nPetitions, on account of its experience of direct contact with\ncitizens, should be given the responsibility of holding public\nhearings for organisers of successful European citizens\ninitiatives.
\nFundamental rights: the Commission is called upon,\nwhen preparing its annual report on the application of the EU\nCharter of Fundamental Rights, to focus not only on the application\nof the Charter, but also on all EU Treaty articles relating to\nfundamental rights and on the situation of fundamental rights in\nthe European Union.
\nRight of access to\ninformation: the\nreport recognises the right of access to information as one of the\ncornerstones of democracy and stresses that access to information\nmust not lead to the violation of other fundamental rights such as\nthe right to privacy and data protection. Members take the view\nthat greater access to information on investigations and\ninfringement files could be provided by the Commission without\njeopardising the purpose of the investigations and that an\noverriding public interest might well justify access to these\nfiles, particularly in cases where fundamental rights, human or\nanimal health and the protection of the environment against\nirreversible damage may be at stake.
\nFree movement: the report calls on the Member\nStates to remove obstacles to the free movement of EU citizens and\nto take action to guide and advise mobile workers regarding\nemployment opportunities and living and working conditions in the\nEU, while also making citizens aware of the risks inherent in\nillegal work and of the advantages associated with obtaining legal\nwork (tax, social security, right to professional training, right\nto citizenship, right to housing, right to family reunification,\naccess to education and training for children), through existing\ntools (EURES).
\nMembers call on those Member States which have\ndecided, under the EU Accession Treaty for Romania and\nBulgaria, to introduce a seven-year moratorium, until 1 January\n2014, on the right to free movement within the EU for workers from\nthose two countries, or to continue applying transitional\narrangements restricting access by Romanian and Bulgarian nationals\nto their labour markets, to review their decisions as soon as\npossible, taking into consideration the principle of equality, the\nprohibition of discrimination, the unjustified nature of those\ndecisions and the principle of solidarity, so that the employment\nrights associated with EU citizenship are no longer restricted for\nRomanian and Bulgarian citizens.
\nFiscality: the report calls for better\ncoordination between Member States dealing with problems such as\ndouble taxation and lack of harmonisation of pension taxation for\nEU citizens, and calls, therefore, on the Member States to enhance\nand update their bilateral cooperation agreements. Members take the\nview that the convergence of European tax and social security rules\nand the harmonisation of national social security schemes are\nviable solutions for dealing with difficulties in relation to\ncoordination between Member States concerning detailed procedures\nwithin their own systems.
\nMass expulsions: the report highlights the fact\nthat mass expulsions represent a breach of the FMD, in addition to\ncontravening the basic values and principles underpinning the\nEuropean Union. It urges Member States to abolish policies and to\nannul and repeal laws that discriminate, either directly or\nindirectly, against the Roma and other minority groups on the\ngrounds of race and ethnicity, and calls on them to stop all\ninstances of persecution, eviction and expulsion, or of\nconfiscation of the assets of any minority group.
\nDisabled persons: Members recall that the almost\n80 million people with disabilities in the European Union still\nface obstacles, insurmountable in many instances, when, in various\nways, they exercise their right of free movement as citizens of the\nUnion. They call, accordingly, on the EU institutions and the\nMember States to identify and eliminate obstacles and barriers\nrestricting the ability of people with disabilities to benefit from\nthe rights of EU citizens, and to make it easier for people with\ndisabilities to gain access to all means of transport,\ninfrastructure facilities, public education and information,\nwithout delays or extra costs.
\nCross-border\nhealthcare: the\nreport calls on the Commission and the Member States with\nregard to the Commissions proposals to facilitate better\naccess to cross-border healthcare, and given that patients\nright to information is fundamental to inform EU citizens\nmore fully about their rights and the means available for enforcing\nthem, including practical aspects such as the reimbursement of\ncosts on the basis of the European health insurance card. It calls\non the Commission and the Member States to make the greatest\npossible use of the existing potential for telemedicine and\ne-health services by 2020, while also complying fully with European\ndata protection provisions. Members warmly welcome the\nCommissions initiative of developing a new system for the\nelectronic exchange of social security data, and call accordingly\nfor enhanced cooperation between national social security\nsystems.
\nOn-line purchasing and mobile\ntelephony: the\nreport notes that the greatest obstacles preventing citizens from\nbenefiting from the larger product range and competitive prices\navailable in the single market are a lack of knowledge of consumer\nrights in other EU countries and a lack of information for\nconsumers making online purchases in other Member States. Moreover,\nit notes the disparities between Member States with regard to\nmobile telephony and internet accounts and emphasises that\nreductions in roaming charges have come about solely as a result of\nEU legislation. Members call on the Commission to look on the\ndevelopment of the digital single market as a\npriority.
\nMembers call for the publication of cost prices\nin each Member State for SMS and MMS messages, calls charged by the\nminute and internet connections, in order to promote the\nestablishment of European flat rates, thereby making it possible to\nreduce mobility costs.
\nBanking services: Members take the view that\naccess to banking services for EU citizens who establish themselves\nin another Member State should be further facilitated. They urge\nthe Commission to take the necessary legislative measures to ensure\naccess for all EU citizens to a basic payment account and\nstress the need to improve the transparency of banking\nfees.
\nObstacles to\nmobility: Members\ntake the view that an updated Qualifications Directive should focus\non eliminating obstacles to educational mobility, paying special\nattention to young people, while simultaneously streamlining the\nsources of information currently available to professionals and\nensuring coordination with the Your Europe portal. They\nurge the Commission to streamline the provision of information on\nmobility for EU students, teachers and researchers by setting up a\none-stop-shop system.
\nMembers take the view that the establishment of\na physical and online one-stop shop for citizens, Your\nEurope, is of great importance for individuals seeking advice\nor redress, whether they are long-term or new residents. They also\npropose that a specific, very regularly updated internet\nportal be set up to allow national, regional and local\nauthorities to flag up those sectors of the economy looking for\nmanpower, in order to facilitate voluntary mobility.
\nAs regards cross-border workers, who\nsuffer a great deal from administrative red tape in Member States,\nas being in need of better, more targeted information about their\nsocial and professional rights, the Commission encouraged to\nproduce information material outlining in clear and simple terms\nthe rights enjoyed by all EU citizens moving, working, studying,\nshopping, travelling and exercising their political rights across\nborders.
\nCivil status\nissues: \nunderlining the importance of administrative cooperation on\ncivil-status issues, Members point out that any Union citizen\nrecognised as the parent of a child born in or out of wedlock must\nbe informed, in the event of separation, about his or her scope for\nredress in order to obtain visiting rights, except in cases where,\nby common agreement between the parents and childs home\ncountries, it has been established that this would place the child\nat genuine risk. It calls for the appointment of a mediator or, at the very least, a childrens\nmediator in every Member State, who would have sufficient powers to\naccess any documents and review court decisions. Members call\non those Member States which have not done so to ratify the Council decision of 12 July\n2010 authorising enhanced cooperation in the area\nof the law applicable to divorce and legal separation.
\nElectoral rights: the\nreport recognises that there are a number of obstacles preventing\nEU citizens full enjoyment of their electoral rights when\nresiding in a country other than their own, whereas this is the\nmost tangible political right of Union citizens and its exercise\nmust be free of all discriminatory and obstructive formalities.\nThey stress that, inter alia, more direct participation by citizens\nthrough European political parties is a decisive step towards\nachieving more Europe and a more authentic\ndemocracy.
\nLastly, the committee welcomes the Commissions\nproposal to declare 2013 as the European Year of\nCitizens and proposes that the Commission launch a\nUnion-level competition in 2012 to design a logo for the European\nYear of Citizens.
\nThe European Parliament adopted a resolution on\nthe EU Citizenship Report 2010: Dismantling the obstacles to EU\ncitizens rights.
\nParliament welcomes the EU Citizenship Report 2010 and\ncalls on the Commission to ensure that the legislative and\nnon-legislative measures provided for in the report are put forward\nas soon as possible. It recalls that Union citizens \nregardless of their disabilities have, inter alia, the right\nto move and reside freely within the territory of the Member\nStates, the right to vote and to stand as candidates in elections\nto the European Parliament and in municipal elections in their\nMember State of residence, the right to the provision of consular\nprotection by the diplomatic and consular authorities of another\nMember State in third countries, and the right to petition the\nEuropean Parliament, to apply to the European Ombudsman, and to\naddress the EU institutions and advisory bodies in any of the\nTreaty languages.
\nRight to petition the European\nParliament: noting that, although the\nright to petition the European Parliament is expressly provided for\nin the Treaties, it is not sufficiently well known or used, and\ntherefore Parliament calls for improved, active communication to\ncitizens about their right to petition in one of the official\nlanguages of the European Union. The resolution calls on the\nCommission to join it in doing more to advertise the right to\npetition through their offices in the Member States, their\ndecentralised information networks.
\nEuropean Citizens Initiative\n(ECI): the\nresolution calls for the effective, transparent and accountable\nimplementation of the ECI Regulation (which will apply from 1 April\n2012) and, in particular, calls on the EU institutions and Member\nStates to put in place all the necessary administrative and\npractical arrangements in a timely manner, to take an active role\nand participate effectively in informing citizens about this new\ninstrument. Members take the view, moreover, that the Committee on\nPetitions, on account of its experience of direct contact with\ncitizens, should be given the responsibility of holding public\nhearings for organisers of successful European citizens\ninitiatives.
\nFundamental rights: the Commission is called upon,\nwhen preparing its annual report on the application of the EU\nCharter of Fundamental Rights, to focus not only on the application\nof the Charter, but also on all EU Treaty articles relating to\nfundamental rights and on the situation of fundamental rights in\nthe European Union.
\nRight of access to\ninformation:\nMembers call on all Union institutions, bodies, offices and\nagencies to ensure that the right of access to documents is\nguaranteed by improving transparency and making access to documents\nand information easy, user-friendly and comprehensible, including\nthrough the provision of barrier-free technologies, so as to enable\ncitizens to participate more closely in the decision-making\nprocess. They point in this context to the central importance of\nthe work of the European Ombudsman in upholding the right of access\nto Union institutions documents.
\nThe resolution recognises the right of access\nto information as one of the cornerstones of democracy and stresses\nthat access to information must not lead to the violation of other\nfundamental rights such as the right to privacy and data\nprotection. Members take the view that greater access to\ninformation on investigations and infringement files could be\nprovided by the Commission without jeopardising the purpose of the\ninvestigations and that an overriding public interest might well\njustify access to these files, particularly in cases where\nfundamental rights, human or animal health and the protection of\nthe environment against irreversible damage may be at\nstake.
\nFree movement: Members encourage the Commission\nto continue its current efforts to ensure that Member States\ntranspose and implement the FMD fully and correctly, making full\nuse of its power to launch infringement proceedings. Member States\nare invited to remove existing legal and practical barriers\nto the free movement of citizens and not to introduce cumbersome,\nunjustified administrative procedures or to tolerate unacceptable\npractices restricting the application of that right.
\nMembers reiterate their previous calls for the Member\nStates to ensure freedom of movement for all EU citizens and their\nfamilies, without discrimination on grounds of sexual\norientation or nationality. It calls on the Member States to\nimplement fully the rights granted under Directive 2004/38/EC1 not\nonly to different-sex spouses, but also to registered partners,\nmembers of the household of an EU citizen and partners who are in a\nduly attested stable relationship with an EU citizen, including\nmembers of same-sex couples. In plenary, Parliament calls on the\nMember States to remove obstacles to the free movement of EU\ncitizens and to take action to guide and advise mobile workers\nregarding employment opportunities and living and working\nconditions in the EU, through existing\ntools such as (EURES).
\nMembers call on those Member States which have\ndecided, under the EU Accession Treaty for Romania and\nBulgaria, to introduce a seven-year moratorium, until 1 January\n2014, on the right to free movement within the EU for workers from\nthose two countries, or to continue applying transitional\narrangements restricting access by Romanian and Bulgarian nationals\nto their labour markets, to review their decisions as soon as\npossible.
\nFiscality: the resolution calls for better\ncoordination between Member States dealing with problems such as\ndouble taxation and lack of harmonisation of pension taxation for\nEU citizens, and calls, therefore, on the Member States to enhance\nand update their bilateral cooperation agreements.
\nMass expulsions: the resolution highlights the\nfact that mass expulsions represent a breach of the FMD, in\naddition to contravening the basic values and principles\nunderpinning the European Union. It urges Member States to abolish\npolicies and to annul and repeal laws that discriminate, either\ndirectly or indirectly, against the Roma and other minority groups\non the grounds of race and ethnicity, and calls on them to stop all\ninstances of persecution, eviction and expulsion, or of\nconfiscation of the assets of any minority group.
\nDisabled persons: Parliament recalls that the\nalmost 80 million people with disabilities in the European Union\nstill face obstacles, insurmountable in many instances, when, in\nvarious ways, they exercise their right of free movement as\ncitizens of the Union. It calls, accordingly, on the EU\ninstitutions and the Member States to identify and eliminate\nobstacles and barriers restricting the ability of people with\ndisabilities to benefit from the rights of EU citizens, and to make\nit easier for people with disabilities to gain access to all means\nof transport, infrastructure facilities, public education and\ninformation, without delays or extra costs.
\nCross-border\nhealthcare: the\nresolution calls on the Commission and the Member States \nwith regard to the Commissions proposals to facilitate better\naccess to cross-border healthcare, and given that patients\nright to information is fundamental to inform EU citizens\nmore fully about their rights and the means available for enforcing\nthem, including practical aspects such as the reimbursement of\ncosts on the basis of the European health insurance card. It calls\non the Commission and the Member States to make the greatest\npossible use of the existing potential for telemedicine and\ne-health services by 2020, while also complying fully with European\ndata protection provisions. Members warmly welcome the\nCommissions initiative of developing a new system for the\nelectronic exchange of social security data, and call accordingly\nfor enhanced cooperation between national social security\nsystems.
\nOn-line purchasing and mobile\ntelephony:\nParliament notes that the greatest obstacles preventing citizens\nfrom benefiting from the larger product range and competitive\nprices available in the single market are a lack of knowledge of\nconsumer rights in other EU countries and a lack of information for\nconsumers making online purchases in other Member States. Moreover,\nit notes the disparities between Member States with regard to\nmobile telephony and internet accounts and emphasises that\nreductions in roaming charges have come about solely as a result of\nEU legislation. Members call on the Commission to look on the\ndevelopment of the digital single market as a\npriority.
\nMembers call for the publication of cost prices\nin each Member State for SMS and MMS messages, calls charged by the\nminute and internet connections, in order to promote the\nestablishment of European flat rates, thereby making it possible to\nreduce mobility costs.
\nBanking services: Members take the view that\naccess to banking services for EU citizens who establish themselves\nin another Member State should be further facilitated. They urge\nthe Commission to take the necessary legislative measures to ensure\naccess for all EU citizens to a basic payment account and\nstress the need to improve the transparency of banking\nfees.
\nObstacles to\nmobility: Members\ntake the view that an updated Qualifications Directive should focus\non eliminating obstacles to educational mobility, paying special\nattention to young people, while simultaneously streamlining the\nsources of information currently available to professionals and\nensuring coordination with the Your Europe portal. They\nurge the Commission to streamline the provision of information on\nmobility for EU students, teachers and researchers by setting up a\none-stop-shop system.
\nParliament takes the view that the\nestablishment of a physical and online one-stop shop for\ncitizens, Your Europe, is of great importance for\nindividuals seeking advice or redress, whether they are long-term\nor new residents. It also proposes that a specific, very regularly\nupdated internet portal be set up to allow national,\nregional and local authorities to flag up those sectors of the\neconomy looking for manpower, in order to facilitate voluntary\nmobility.
\nAs regards cross-border workers, who\nsuffer a great deal from administrative red tape in Member States,\nas being in need of better, more targeted information about their\nsocial and professional rights, the Commission encouraged to\nproduce information material outlining in clear and simple terms\nthe rights enjoyed by all EU citizens moving, working, studying,\nshopping, travelling and exercising their political rights across\nborders.
\nCivil status\nissues: underlining the importance of\nadministrative cooperation on civil-status issues, Members point\nout that any Union citizen recognised as the parent of a child born\nin or out of wedlock must be informed, in the event of separation,\nabout his or her scope for redress in order to obtain visiting\nrights, except in cases where, by common agreement between the\nparents and childs home countries, it has been\nestablished that this would place the child at genuine risk. It\ncalls for the appointment of a mediator\nor, at the very least, a childrens mediator in every Member\nState, who would have sufficient powers to access any documents and\nreview court decisions. Members call on those Member States\nwhich have not done so to ratify the Council Decision of 12 July\n2010 authorising enhanced cooperation in the area\nof the law applicable to divorce and legal separation.
\nElectoral rights: the\nresolution recognises that there are a number of obstacles\npreventing EU citizens full enjoyment of their electoral\nrights when residing in a country other than their own, whereas\nthis is the most tangible political right of Union citizens and its\nexercise must be free of all discriminatory and obstructive\nformalities. Parliament stresses that, inter alia, more direct\nparticipation by citizens through European political parties is a\ndecisive step towards achieving more Europe and a more\nauthentic democracy.
\nLastly, Parliament welcomes the Commissions\nproposal to declare 2013 as the European Year of\nCitizens and proposes that the Commission launch a\nUnion-level competition in 2012 to design a logo for the European\nYear of Citizens.
\nPURPOSE: to present EU citizenship report\n 2010 on dismantling the obstacles to EU citizens’ rights.
BACKGROUND: as the Court of Justice of\n the European Union has stated on several occasions, EU citizenship is\n destined to be the fundamental status of Member States' nationals,\n enabling those who find themselves in the same situation to enjoy within the\n scope of the Treaty the same treatment in law irrespective of their\n nationality. The Court has, in particular, ruled that citizens are entitled\n to reside in another Member State purely as citizens of the Union, thus\n recognising EU citizenship as a source of the right of free movement.
The entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty\n strengthened the notion of EU citizenship and its accompanying rights in\n several ways. The right of EU citizens in third countries to enjoy protection\n by the consular and diplomatic authorities of all Member States is enshrined\n as a clear individual right in the TFEU and the Lisbon Treaty complements\n citizenship rights by introducing a new right, the Citizens’ Initiative,\n which enables one million citizens to invite the Commission to bring forward\n legislative proposals.
The rights inherent in EU citizenship are\n further enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, which is\n legally binding. In addition, EU citizenship rights are firmly anchored in primary\n EU law and substantially developed in secondary law. Those who are\n taking advantage of the European project by extending aspects of their life\n beyond national borders, through travel, study, work, marriage, retirement,\n buying or inheriting property, voting, or just shopping online from companies\n established in other Member States should fully enjoy their rights under the\n Treaties.
However, a gap still remains between\n the applicable legal rules and the reality confronting citizens in their\n daily lives, particularly in cross-border situations. The large number of\n complaints and enquiries the Commission receives every year, recent\n Eurobarometer surveys, and discussions with stakeholders, provide ample\n evidence of the many obstacles standing in the way of citizens’ enjoyment of\n their rights. The European Parliament’s report on ‘Problems\n and prospects concerning European citizenship’ detailed persistent\n obstacles to the cross-border enjoyment of rights and called on the\n Commission to list these obstacles and to make concrete proposals for\n addressing them.
The Commission seeks now to reinforce\n EU citizenship, by revitalising the link between the citizens and the EU and\n by giving real effect to their rights. This report shows how EU\n citizenship brings rights and benefits to citizens. It describes main\n obstacles that citizens still encounter in their daily lives when they\n exercise their EU rights across national borders and outlines the measures\n envisaged to empower them to enjoy their rights.
The report is issued in parallel with the\n Communication \"Towards\n a Single Market Act: For a social market economy”, which focuses\n on the elimination of obstacles by Europeans when exercising their rights\n conferred to them by the Single market acquis, i.e. when they are acting as\n economic operators within the Single market, for instance as entrepreneurs,\n consumers or workers.
CONTENT: the report aims to tap into EU\n citizens’ ideas, concerns and expectations, whilst bringing them closer\n together in the process. It is intended to open a debate and exchange on how\n EU citizenship can fulfil its potential in terms of enhancing Europeans' life\n chances by delivering concrete benefits that will have a visible impact.
In many of the areas, the lack of EU\n legislation is not the main reason why citizens are facing obstacles in the\n exercise of their rights. In some instances, the existing rules need to\n be expanded or updated or even radically overhauled to keep pace with\n evolving socio-economic or technological realities.
The majority of actions identified to\n dismantle obstacles fall into three main categories:
The EU needs to deliver at all these\n levels to make sure that citizens' rights are a tangible reality. This report\n identifies 25 short- and medium-term initiatives for tackling the obstacles\n to citizens’ enjoyment of their rights. The Commission will:
Follow-up:\n the Commission considers this to be the beginning of a process for further\n identification of obstacles that citizens still face and solutions for them.\n The report will launch a debate with other EU institutions, notably the\n European Parliament and the Council, the European Economic and Social\n Committee and the Committee of the Regions, and with civil society. This\n process should allow the Commission to present in 2013, a European year to be\n dedicated to citizens, an assessment of its output and the initial impact of\n the report's actions.
The Commission will then be in a position\n to announce an ambitious and comprehensive action plan toward completing the\n removal of persistent obstacles standing in the way of citizens’ enjoyment of\n their rights.
\nThe Committee on Petitions adopted the\nown-initiative report drafted by Adina-Ioana VÃLEAN (ADLE, RO)\non the EU Citizenship Report 2010: Dismantling the obstacles to EU\ncitizens rights.
\nMembers welcome the EU Citizenship Report 2010\nand call on the Commission to ensure that\nthe legislative and non-legislative measures provided for in the\nreport are put forward as soon as possible.
\nRight to petition the European\nParliament: noting that, although the\nright to petition the European Parliament is expressly provided for\nin the Treaties, it is not sufficiently well known or used, and\ntherefore Members call for improved, active communication to\ncitizens about their right to petition in one of the official\nlanguages of the European Union. The report calls on the Commission\nto join it in doing more to advertise the right to petition through\ntheir offices in the Member States, their decentralised information\nnetworks.
\nEuropean Citizens Initiative\n(ECI): the report\ncalls for the effective, transparent and accountable implementation\nof the ECI Regulation (which will apply from 1 April 2012) and, in\nparticular, calls on the EU institutions and Member States to put\nin place all the necessary administrative and practical\narrangements in a timely manner, to take an active role and\nparticipate effectively in informing citizens about this new\ninstrument. Members take the view, moreover, that the Committee on\nPetitions, on account of its experience of direct contact with\ncitizens, should be given the responsibility of holding public\nhearings for organisers of successful European citizens\ninitiatives.
\nFundamental rights: the Commission is called upon,\nwhen preparing its annual report on the application of the EU\nCharter of Fundamental Rights, to focus not only on the application\nof the Charter, but also on all EU Treaty articles relating to\nfundamental rights and on the situation of fundamental rights in\nthe European Union.
\nRight of access to\ninformation: the\nreport recognises the right of access to information as one of the\ncornerstones of democracy and stresses that access to information\nmust not lead to the violation of other fundamental rights such as\nthe right to privacy and data protection. Members take the view\nthat greater access to information on investigations and\ninfringement files could be provided by the Commission without\njeopardising the purpose of the investigations and that an\noverriding public interest might well justify access to these\nfiles, particularly in cases where fundamental rights, human or\nanimal health and the protection of the environment against\nirreversible damage may be at stake.
\nFree movement: the report calls on the Member\nStates to remove obstacles to the free movement of EU citizens and\nto take action to guide and advise mobile workers regarding\nemployment opportunities and living and working conditions in the\nEU, while also making citizens aware of the risks inherent in\nillegal work and of the advantages associated with obtaining legal\nwork (tax, social security, right to professional training, right\nto citizenship, right to housing, right to family reunification,\naccess to education and training for children), through existing\ntools (EURES).
\nMembers call on those Member States which have\ndecided, under the EU Accession Treaty for Romania and\nBulgaria, to introduce a seven-year moratorium, until 1 January\n2014, on the right to free movement within the EU for workers from\nthose two countries, or to continue applying transitional\narrangements restricting access by Romanian and Bulgarian nationals\nto their labour markets, to review their decisions as soon as\npossible, taking into consideration the principle of equality, the\nprohibition of discrimination, the unjustified nature of those\ndecisions and the principle of solidarity, so that the employment\nrights associated with EU citizenship are no longer restricted for\nRomanian and Bulgarian citizens.
\nFiscality: the report calls for better\ncoordination between Member States dealing with problems such as\ndouble taxation and lack of harmonisation of pension taxation for\nEU citizens, and calls, therefore, on the Member States to enhance\nand update their bilateral cooperation agreements. Members take the\nview that the convergence of European tax and social security rules\nand the harmonisation of national social security schemes are\nviable solutions for dealing with difficulties in relation to\ncoordination between Member States concerning detailed procedures\nwithin their own systems.
\nMass expulsions: the report highlights the fact\nthat mass expulsions represent a breach of the FMD, in addition to\ncontravening the basic values and principles underpinning the\nEuropean Union. It urges Member States to abolish policies and to\nannul and repeal laws that discriminate, either directly or\nindirectly, against the Roma and other minority groups on the\ngrounds of race and ethnicity, and calls on them to stop all\ninstances of persecution, eviction and expulsion, or of\nconfiscation of the assets of any minority group.
\nDisabled persons: Members recall that the almost\n80 million people with disabilities in the European Union still\nface obstacles, insurmountable in many instances, when, in various\nways, they exercise their right of free movement as citizens of the\nUnion. They call, accordingly, on the EU institutions and the\nMember States to identify and eliminate obstacles and barriers\nrestricting the ability of people with disabilities to benefit from\nthe rights of EU citizens, and to make it easier for people with\ndisabilities to gain access to all means of transport,\ninfrastructure facilities, public education and information,\nwithout delays or extra costs.
\nCross-border\nhealthcare: the\nreport calls on the Commission and the Member States with\nregard to the Commissions proposals to facilitate better\naccess to cross-border healthcare, and given that patients\nright to information is fundamental to inform EU citizens\nmore fully about their rights and the means available for enforcing\nthem, including practical aspects such as the reimbursement of\ncosts on the basis of the European health insurance card. It calls\non the Commission and the Member States to make the greatest\npossible use of the existing potential for telemedicine and\ne-health services by 2020, while also complying fully with European\ndata protection provisions. Members warmly welcome the\nCommissions initiative of developing a new system for the\nelectronic exchange of social security data, and call accordingly\nfor enhanced cooperation between national social security\nsystems.
\nOn-line purchasing and mobile\ntelephony: the\nreport notes that the greatest obstacles preventing citizens from\nbenefiting from the larger product range and competitive prices\navailable in the single market are a lack of knowledge of consumer\nrights in other EU countries and a lack of information for\nconsumers making online purchases in other Member States.

\nMembers take the view that the establishment of\na physical and online one-stop shop for citizens, Your\nEurope, is of great importance for individuals seeking advice\nor redress, whether they are long-term or new residents. They also\npropose that a specific, very regularly updated internet\nportal be set up to allow national, regional and local\nauthorities to flag up those sectors of the economy looking for\nmanpower, in order to facilitate voluntary mobility.
\nAs regards cross-border workers, who\nsuffer a great deal from administrative red tape in Member States,\nas being in need of better, more targeted information about their\nsocial and professional rights, the Commission encouraged to\nproduce information material outlining in clear and simple terms\nthe rights enjoyed by all EU citizens moving, working, studying,\nshopping, travelling and exercising their political rights across\nborders.

It calls\non the Commission and the Member States to make the greatest\npossible use of the existing potential for telemedicine and\ne-health services by 2020, while also complying fully with European\ndata protection provisions. Members warmly welcome the\nCommissions initiative of developing a new system for the\nelectronic exchange of social security data, and call accordingly\nfor enhanced cooperation between national social security\nsystems.
\nOn-line purchasing and mobile\ntelephony:\nParliament notes that the greatest obstacles preventing citizens\nfrom benefiting from the larger product range and competitive\nprices available in the single market are a lack of knowledge of\nconsumer rights in other EU countries and a lack of information for\nconsumers making online purchases in other Member States. Moreover,\nit notes the disparities between Member States with regard to\nmobile telephony and internet accounts and emphasises that\nreductions in roaming charges have come about solely as a result of\nEU legislation. Members call on the Commission to look on the\ndevelopment of the digital single market as a\npriority.
\nMembers call for the publication of cost prices\nin each Member State for SMS and MMS messages, calls charged by the\nminute and internet connections, in order to promote the\nestablishment of European flat rates, thereby making it possible to\nreduce mobility costs.
\nBanking services: Members take the view that\naccess to banking services for EU citizens who establish themselves\nin another Member State should be further facilitated. They urge\nthe Commission to take the necessary legislative measures to ensure\naccess for all EU citizens to a basic payment account and\nstress the need to improve the transparency of banking\nfees.
\nObstacles to\nmobility: Members\ntake the view that an updated Qualifications Directive should focus\non eliminating obstacles to educational mobility, paying special\nattention to young people, while simultaneously streamlining the\nsources of information currently available to professionals and\nensuring coordination with the Your Europe portal. They\nurge the Commission to streamline the provision of information on\nmobility for EU students, teachers and researchers by setting up a\none-stop-shop system.
\nParliament takes the view that the\nestablishment of a physical and online one-stop shop for\ncitizens, Your Europe, is of great importance for\nindividuals seeking advice or redress, whether they are long-term\nor new residents. It also proposes that a specific, very regularly\nupdated internet portal be set up to allow national,\nregional and local authorities to flag up those sectors of the\neconomy looking for manpower, in order to facilitate voluntary\nmobility.
\nAs regards cross-border workers, who\nsuffer a great deal from administrative red tape in Member States,\nas being in need of better, more targeted information about their\nsocial and professional rights, the Commission encouraged to\nproduce information material outlining in clear and simple terms\nthe rights enjoyed by all EU citizens moving, working, studying,\nshopping, travelling and exercising their political rights across\nborders.
\nCivil status\nissues: underlining the importance of\nadministrative cooperation on civil-status issues, Members point\nout that any Union citizen recognised as the parent of a child born\nin or out of wedlock must be informed, in the event of separation,\nabout his or her scope for redress in order to obtain visiting\nrights, except in cases where, by common agreement between the\nparents and childs home countries, it has been\nestablished that this would place the child at genuine risk. It\ncalls for the appointment of a mediator\nor, at the very least, a childrens mediator in every Member\nState, who would have sufficient powers to access any documents and\nreview court decisions. Members call on those Member States\nwhich have not done so to ratify the Council Decision of 12 July\n2010 authorising enhanced cooperation in the area\nof the law applicable to divorce and legal separation.
\nElectoral rights: the\nresolution recognises that there are a number of obstacles\npreventing EU citizens full enjoyment of their electoral\nrights when residing in a country other than their own, whereas\nthis is the most tangible political right of Union citizens and its\nexercise must be free of all discriminatory and obstructive\nformalities. Parliament stresses that, inter alia, more direct\nparticipation by citizens through European political parties is a\ndecisive step towards achieving more Europe and a more\nauthentic democracy.
\nLastly, Parliament welcomes the Commissions\nproposal to declare 2013 as the European Year of\nCitizens and proposes that the Commission launch a\nUnion-level competition in 2012 to design a logo for the European\nYear of Citizens.
