2 Overview and state of play 4 proposals to improve the ECI Agenda

3 What is an ECI ? 1 million signatures 1 year 7 Member States Formal response from the Commission + Public hearing at the European Parliament The European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) is an invitation to the European Commission to propose legislation on matters where the EU has competence to legislate. was introduced with the Treaty of Lisbon and has been in force since April 1st is ruled by regulations (EU) 211/2011 and (EU) 1179/2011.

4 Process Source: "Guide to the European citizens’ initiative""Guide to the European citizens’ initiative"

Actors 5 Citizens: Organisers and signatories EU Commission: SG (legal aspects, support, ECI Expert group) DIGIT (OCS, hosting, training, support) Europe Direct Contact Centre (support) Member States: National authority for certification National authority for validation ECI Expert group EESC: Translation, events NGOs: Support to organisers, improvement proposals

6 A rough start

7 The hosting offer "During these early stages of what is, after all, the biggest ever experiment in transnational participatory democracy, the Commission is absolutely determined to make sure that organisers of the first ECIs face no insurmountable stumbling blocks. Since some organisers struggled to find suitable host providers on the market for collecting signatures online, the Commission will offer its own servers to them as a hosting environment." Commission Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, 18/07/2012 But…. the Commission servers are located in Luxembourg And… (EU) 211/2011 requires the Luxembourgish national authority to certify all online collection systems hosted in Luxembourg So… we have to evaluate each ECI hosted on the Commission's servers versus the requirements of (EU) 1179/2011.

8 Outcome Certification: custom auditing tools (21)« smart » ISO electronic template documents Linux Live CD for secure organiser environment Validation: development of a new validation tool with: (4) customisation for validation of national petitions Automated validation versus national population registry Automated processing of paper statements of support (OCR) Detection of duplicates

9 Current results 53 proposed ECIs Formal responses from the Commission Public hearings at the Parliament Some actions taken (Right2Water) No new legal act introduced

10 Overview and state of play 4 proposals to improve the ECI Agenda

11 Review period European Ombudsman's own-initiative inquiry (4 March 2015) European Commission's application report (31 March 2015) Latvian Presidency of the Council note (4 June 2015) Committee of Regions' opinion (13 October 2015) European Parliament's resolution (28 October 2015) … + Lots of legal studies, PhD thesis, NGOs publications, etc. Member States ? National authorities ?

12 Proposals 1. Review the timeline of an ECI

13 Proposals 2. Review implementing regulation (EU) 1179/2011 Allow alternative approaches to the formal ISO/IEC 27k and SoGP while keeping a high level of security Review requirements on version and patch management Use a risk-based approach instead of detailed requirements Make it easier for organisers and hosting entities

14 Proposals 3. Offer a free centralised platform Let the organizers focus on their campaign For organisers: free no need of IT/security experts Findings of Commission's ICT study : most overall cost effective approach satisfaction of organisers with EC hosting and support

15 Proposals 4. Develop synergies with eIDAS eIDAS regulation covers both online authentication and electronic signature Some tools already exist (TSL, DS-DSS, ECAS) Let's not reinvent a (broken) wheel…

16 Conclusion 3 questions about ECI Does it work ? What is the problem ? Should it be revised ?

17 Thank you Any question ?
