European Parliament Committee on Petitions
(Redirected from
Committee on Petitions
)The Committee on Petitions (PETI) is a permanent
EPP Group.[1]
The right to petition is one of the fundamental rights of the
European citizen and residents. Any of these can bring forward a petition on a matter within the EU's sphere of activities. The Committee hears cases, some 1500 each year, sometimes presented in Parliament by the citizen themselves. While the Parliament attempts to resolve the issue as a mediator, it can resort to legal proceedings if necessary to resolve the citizen's dispute.[2]
