Aimed at increasing participation and direct democracy, the European Citizens Initiative<\/a>\u00a0(ECI) was introduced with the Treaty of Lisbon to give European citizens a chance to influence EU decision-making. The ECI allows at least one million citizens from at least seven European countries to present the European Commission with a legislative proposal.<\/p>\n

Fraternit\u00e9 2020<\/a>, the first ECI to be registered,\u00a0is pushing for enhancing EU exchange programmes \u2013 like the Erasmus Programme<\/a> or the European Voluntary Service (EVS)<\/a> \u2013 in order to contribute to a united Europe based on solidarity among citizens. This way, Europe\u2019s first citizens\u2019 initiative asks for 3% of the EU budget being spent on EU exchange programmes starting from 2014. The very first citizens\u2019 initiative, officially registered by the European Commission on May 9\u00a0(Europe Day<\/a>), 2012,\u00a0builds on previous contributions such as the Europe 2030 Report prepared by the Reflection Group on the Future of Europe and wishes to help bring the EU closer to its citizens.<\/p>\n

Fraternit\u00e9 2020 is so far supported by around 20 academics<\/a> on EU affairs, about 100 NGOs<\/a> active in organising EVS exchanges and projects or representing students\u2019 interests, and around 50 MEPs<\/a>\u00a0representing all major parties in the European Parliament.<\/p>\n

Fraternit\u00e9 2020 has started collecting signatures on October 26, 2012. It has until November 1, 2013, to collect 1 million signatures online from across the EU.<\/p>\n

In order to be able to sign up to a European citizens\u2019 initiative you need to be an EU citizen (national of a member state) old enough to vote in European Parliament elections (18 except in Austria, where the voting age is 16). If you fulfil this requirement, sign directly online now: http:\/\/sign.F2020.eu<\/a><\/p>\n
