According to Article 223 TFEU, ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ has the exclusive right to propose amendments to the electoral rules, while the Council adopts them unanimously after ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s consent. Moreover, Member States must approve those adopted rules in accordance with their constitutional requirements. However, not all Member States have ratified the Council's 2018 decision. <br /> <br /> Fonte : <a href="/portal/pt/legal-notice" >© União Europeia, 2025 - PE</a> Documentos - Think Tank - Parlamento Europeu Tue, 11 Feb 2025 23:00:00 GMT EPRS_ATA(2025)769488_PT_20250212 /thinktank/pt/document/EPRS_BRI(2025)767225 The right to petition the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾ was formally set out in the Maastricht Treaty as one of the rights of European Union citizenship. ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s predecessors, from the beginnings of the Communities in the 1950s, had already recognised the importance of receiving petitions from citizens, and this has become a major expression of ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s role as the direct representative of EU citizens. ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s practice is based on those of national parliaments, but is often more extensive in terms of scope. The right of petition has developed substantially over time. In particular, petitions addressed to the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾'s Committee on Petitions (PETI committee) and then transferred to the European Commission can potentially lead to infringement procedures against Member States. There are, however, still some problems regarding exercise of the right of petition – particularly concerning the responsiveness of the Commission and how to involve national parliaments more effectively. The PETI committee plays a key role in the election of the European Ombudsman, as it is responsible for organising the hearings of the nominees. The committee attaches paramount importance to the examination and public discussion of petitions at its meetings and petitioners have the right to present their petitions. They frequently take the floor in the discussion, thereby actively contributing to the work of the committee. In this way, efficient communication takes place between ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾, the Commission and citizens. This briefing modifies and further develops a briefing published in 2015. <br /> <br /> Fonte : <a href="/portal/pt/legal-notice" >© União Europeia, 2025 - PE</a> Documentos - Think Tank - Parlamento Europeu Mon, 03 Feb 2025 09:36:01 GMT EPRS_BRI(2025)767225_PT_20250203
