Fru formand, mine damer og herrer, den ærlige status, som Udvalget for Andragender forelægger Parlamentet vedrørende de europæiske borgeres forespørgsler, er en god anledning til at tænke nærmere over de europæiske borgeres forhold til EU-institutionerne.
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the honest report that the Committee on Petitions has presented to the House on the queries raised by European citizens gives us an excellent opportunity to think about the relationship between the citizens of Europe and the institutions of the European Union.
