Europetition
EuroPetition is a network of experts supporting citizens who want to petition the European Parliament from any of five represented Member States; Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Petition organisers can use the service to start petitions and then get help from the network in generating support and signatories in the other Member States.
The network was formed from the EuroPetition project which was a two year eParticipation Programme project. It pilot trialled the coordination and submission of local ePetitions and cross-border pan-European EuroPetitions to the European Parliament during 2010. It involved five regions working with clusters of 19 Local Authorities, potentially involving over eight million citizens across the EU.
The project has now drawn to a close and the network continues on a self-funded basis since the project ended in December 2010.
