Welcome to EuroPetition

EuroPetition is a network of experts supporting citizens who want to petition the European Parliament from any of our 5 represented member states;  Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Sweden, or the United Kingdom.

Petitioners can use the service to start petitions and then get help from the network in getting support and signatories in the other Member States.

The Europetitions service also makes sure that petitions have been checked by experts to ensure that the petition has a reasonable chance of being taken up by the European Parliament. We will advise petitioners as to the correct institution for their petition, including instances where a National Parliament is more appropriate.

Our experience to date highlights the complexities of matching the subject matter of certain petitions to the correct European institution. While we still aim to present Europetitions to the European Parliament wherever possible, the EuroPetition service is interested in working along with other European institutions willing to take cross border petitions.

The network was created out of a funded project which looked at trialing the coordination and submission of local epetitions and cross-border pan-European europetitions to the European Parliament during 2010 from 5 regions working with clusters of 18 Local Authorities in Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK, and potentially involving over 8 million citizens across the EU. The project ended in December 2010, but the network continues.
