To ensure that support is sufficiently broad, a citizens’ initiative must be supported by 1 million citizens from at least a quarter of EU countries, which currently means seven countries.

The European Citizens' Initiative, introduced by the Lisbon Treaty to encourage a greater democratic involvement of citizens in European affairs[1], allows one million citizens of the European Union (EU), coming from at least seven Member States, to call on the European Commission to propose legislation on matters of EU competence.

Indeed, Europeans make over a billion journeys within the EU per year and more and more Europeans are benefiting from the right to live in another EU Member State: in 2009, an estimated 11.9 million citizens were living in a Member State other than their own; in 2010 this figure grew to 12.3 million (STAT/11/105).

Each year, the European Social Fund (ESF) reaches about 10 million Europeans and helps 2 million citizens find a job. Young people make up almost a quarter of the 10 million ESF participants each year, boosting youth employment, entrepreneurship and the mobility of young workers, helping lower school drop-out rates and raising skill levels (In 2009 is the drop out level was 3.1 million out of 11.0 million).

By 2030, the number of "older workers" (aged 55 to 64) will have risen by 24 million as the baby-boomer generation become senior citizens and the EU will have 34.7 million citizens aged over 80 (compared to 18.8 million today).

With a further one million citizens of the European Union living outside their home country entitled to vote and stand as a candidate in their member state of residence in the 2004 elections to the European Parliament, the European Commission issued on 8 April 2003 a Communication recommending in particular that acceding states transpose the relevant Community law without delay, in order to establish a legal basis for the right of citizens of the Union to vote and to stand as a candidate in their state of residence in the 2004 elections; both the current 15 member states and the ten acceding states (Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latv ...[+++]ia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia) shoud take the necessary measures to ensure that all Union citizens nationals of other Member states and residing in their territory are entered in the electoral rolls in good time before the 2004 elections to the European Parliament.
