Members of the committee will vote on the agreement reached between the Parliament and the Council on the amendment to the European Citizens' Initiative Regulation. This text aims to remedy the situations where the organisers of European Citizens Initiatives are unable to campaign and collect the statements of support due to the restrictive measures adopted by Member States when fighting the COVID19 outbreak.

It mainly aims at extending relevant deadlines for the collection, verification of signatures and examination of valid initiatives which have reached 1 million of statements of support.
