The Committee on Petitions adopted the own-initiative\nreport by Ángela VALLINA (GUE/NGL, ES) on the activities of\nthe Committee on Petitions 2015.
\nIt began by recalling that the purpose of the annual\nreport on the activities of the Committee on Petitions is to\npresent an analysis of the petitions received in 2015 and of\nrelations with other institutions.
\nIn terms of statistics, the report noted\nthat 1 431 petitions were received in 2015, 47% down on the\nfigure for 2014; 943 petitions were considered admissible, of which\n424 were quickly examined and concluded after duly informing\npetitioners on their respective issues of concern. 519 petitions\nremain open for discussion in the Committee on Petitions. 483\npetitions (around 34%) were declared inadmissible, with Members\nnoting that there is still widespread confusion about the EUs\nfields of activity as is shown by this high number.
\nWith regard to main areas of policy, the key\nissues of concern raised in petitions pertain to a wide range of\nissues, such as environmental protection, breaches of consumer\nrights, the application of justice (in particular, custody rights\nregarding minors), fundamental rights, free movement of persons,\ndiscrimination, immigration, employment and animal welfare. The\ncommittee noted the following:
\nWork of the Committee on Petitions: the report stated that confidence in the system and\nin the European project as a whole has been dented by recent events\nin the United Kingdom, the humanitarian refugee crisis, the social\nand economic impact of austerity measures, the inability to resolve\nthe financial crisis in a way that guarantees all citizens a free\nand dignified life, and the rise in xenophobia and racism\nthroughout Europe. The Committee on Petitions has the\nresponsibility and the huge challenge of strengthening constructive\ndialogue with EU citizens and residents on European\nissues.
\nMembers believed that petitions could help to better\nassess the impact that EU legislation has on peoples daily\nlives by acting as a bridge between citizens and the\ninstitutions. Since the committee aims to engage in a\ntrustworthy and fruitful dialogue with citizens, it should help to\npromote participatory democracy and provide an adequate response to\npetitions, in terms of both the timing and the quality of the\nanswer. Members stressed that petitions are also important for\nthe legislative process, as they detect existing loopholes and\ndeficiencies in the transposition of Community legislation. They\napplauded the intention to establish an informal petitions network\nwithin Parliament, with the participation of Members representing\nevery Parliament committee.
\nCooperation with national parliaments: the report considered it\nessential to improve cooperation with national parliaments and\ntheir relevant committees and with Member State governments.\nMembers repeated their call for a structured dialogue to be\nlaunched with Member States in the form of regular meetings with\nthe relevant national parliament committees.
\nCharter of Fundamental Rights: Members deplored the strict and restrictive\nway in which the Commission has interpreted Article 51 of the\nCharter of Fundamental Rights, which states, inter alia, that the\nCharter is addressed to the Member States only when they are\nimplementing Union law. They recalled that, owing to the existence\nof Article 51 of the Charter, the expectations of citizens often go\nbeyond what the Charters legal provisions strictly allow for\nand are often unmet, and the Commission was asked to adopt a new\napproach that is more consistent with those\nexpectations.
