Assessing the potential and challenges of the European Citizens’ Initiative

Written by Clément Franzoso.

The European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) is an important tool of participatory democracy in the European Union (EU), which gives Europeans a more active role in shaping EU policy. The initiative allows citizens to call on the European Commission to make new proposals for EU legislation if they gather at least one million signatures from at least seven EU Member States. Since its introduction under the Lisbon Treaty, the ECI has promoted political engagement, raised awareness of key issues and strengthened the EU’s democratic legitimacy. However, it faces significant challenges, such as difficulty gathering the required support, low public awareness, bureaucratic hurdles and a lack of binding outcomes.

To be registered, an initiative must meet a set of formal criteria assessed by the Commission. If it does, the Commission registers the initiative, and the organisers can then begin collecting signatures. It is important to note that the Commission is not obliged to act on registered ECIs, which ultimately limits the potential impact of the initiative.

While the ECI promotes cross-border collaboration and increases citizen participation, its potential is hindered by limitations such as the complex administrative process and lack of guaranteed legislative action. The Commission plays a decisive role in both the registration and follow-up stages of an ECI, but its strict interpretation of admissibility requirements has drawn criticism. Examples of successful initiatives include ‘Right2Water’, which advocates for the human right to water and sanitation, and ‘Stop Vivisection’, which calls for an end to animal testing in the EU.

While the ECI has helped raise awareness and foster political participation, its overall effectiveness remains constrained. Improvements in accessibility, awareness, follow-up actions and support are essential to unlock its full potential as a tool for active citizenship in the EU.

KM eje 390-essel

Air Power Blog - Fri, 09/12/2025 - 23:59

A hosszas (2020-25), merevszárnyú, ugróképes/rámpás, szállítórepülő hiátus lezárulta és az ÖKMP ejtőernyős század felállítása nyomán erőre kapóban van ez a két, hagyományosan egymásra utalt fegyvernemi kultúra a Magyar Honvédségben. Ennek lehettünk ma tanúi a hajmáskéri "0"-ponton, ahol a KC-390 első nyilvános hazai ugratásaira került sor.

Cseh OVP-12-es ernyőjével úton a föld felé a KM ejések egyik katonája, háttérben a hosszúfalon az ugratást végző első KC-390-esünk, a 610-es.

JTAC irányítása mellett érkezik délkelet felől a dobózóna fölé a "mini-C-17-es".

Félszemből az egyik ugrás pillanata.

Haslövés "két folyamatban lévő üggyel"....

Rárepülésenként felváltva használták a bal és jobb ugróajtót az ejtőernyősök, de természetesen van lehetőség a szimultán ugratásra is.

Na még egy kicsit közelebbről a gépelhagyás, mert érdekes.

Ejtőernyős füzér a gép mögött nagyobb látószöggel. Rárepülésenként ezúttal 10+ ugró hagyta el a gépet az 1,7 kilométeres DZ felett.

A teherzsák éppen földet ért, jöhet a többi.

A kupola gyors összeszedése kulcskérdés.

Elszállításra várnak a teherzsákok és az összecsomagolt ernyők.

A ZVP-80.08A mentőernyő m2 multi AAD barometrikus vésznyitója.

Búcsúzóul billegtetve repül át a 390-es.
