Manage episode 379456372 series 1572096
1 million signatures, 7 countries, 7 organisers: that’s what it takes for EU citizens to request new legislation from the European Commission, through the European Citizens’ initiative (ECI).
Barbara Walentynowicz, member of the ECI team in the Commission's Secretariat-General, tells us about this paneuropean multilingual instrument of participatory democracy. She explains how essential translation is in the process, and how her team collaborates with DG Translation every step of the way.
