The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and the French Economic, Social and Environmental Council are holding a joint information seminar on the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), the instrument of participatory democracy at EU level. The aim of the seminar is to present the ECI, as well as the work done by the EESC in this field, and to exchange experiences of initiatives undertaken at national and European level to better understand and manage the impact of citizen-led campaigns on the actions and decisions of legislators.
Speakers will include members of the Committee and the Council, as well as representatives of the European Commission and organisers of ECIs launched in France.
