    published on Friday, August 17, 2012 under Citizens

    The European Commission takes stock of the results achieved so far on the online consultation launched in May 2012 on the Future of Europe. Until 9 September, all Europeans can share their views to help set the policy agenda for the years to come and shape the future of Europe. The Commission's consultation 'Your rights, your future' also asks the public about the very practical obstacles citizens face in daily life.

    The European Commission announced that so far, over 5,500 EU-citizens have participated in one of the broadest web based consultations in the EU's history on citizens' rights and the future of Europe. Until 9 September, all Europeans can share their views on questions such as "How would you like the European Union to develop in the near future? In what kind of European Union would you like to live in 2020?", within an online consultation launched on 9 May, the Europe Day.

    Moreover, the Commission's consultation 'Your rights, your future' also asks the public about the very practical obstacles citizens face in daily life, when exercising their rights as EU citizens or when wanting to rely on fundamental rights enshrined in EU law. Just three months after the kick off on 9 May, over 5,000 people have taken part in the on-line consultation and answered the online questionnaire. This includes citizens from all Member States (11,3% of respondents are French, 10,5% Italian, 9% Spanish, 8,9 % German and 6,1 % are British).

    Following a proposal from the Commission, 2013 is set to become the European Year of Citizens. The European Commission wants to seize this occasion to take citizens on board when shaping the Union of tomorrow and listen to their visions for the future of Europe. The input received will feed directly into the Commission's policy agenda for the coming years and will form the basis for the 2013 EU Citizenship Report, to be presented on 9 May 2013, next year's Europe Day.
