The European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) is a European Union (EU) mechanism that enables citizens to participate directly in the development of EU policies and call directly on the European Commission to propose a legal act (notably a Directive or Regulation) in an area where the member states have conferred powers onto the EU level. This is NOT about the World Health Organization This is not a “declaration”. This is NOT a “petition.” This extends beyond the geographical boundaries of the 27 nations of the European Union to include EU citizens that live in other nations. This is about much more than just gathering signatures. This call to action is worldwide. This call to action goes out to… People who are citizens of any of the 27 nations of the European Union. People whose citizenship is with one of the 27 nations of the EU, but are currently residing outside the European Union. People of any nation, anywhere on the planet, who know someone who is an EU national, regardless of where they reside. YOU can help by sharing this information with every European citizen that you may know, regardless of where you or they may live. The core effort behind this initiative is WORLDWIDE. CLICK HERE to learn more, regardless of where you live. Frequently Asked Questions https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/how-it-works/faq_en I’m an EU national living outside the EU. Can I support an initiative? YES. When signing up, choose the country you’re an EU national of. Your signature will be counted in that country. Can non-EU nationals living in the EU support an initiative? NO. Only EU nationals (nationals of an EU country) can support European citizens’ initiatives. I’m an EU national living in another EU country. Where will my signature be counted? In the country you’re a national of. For example, if you’re a Lithuanian living in Ireland, your signature will be counted in Lithuania. I’m an EU national with dual nationality. How do I sign up to an initiative? If you have dual nationality, just choose 1 of your nationalities and fill in only 1 form. You can only support an initiative once. Do I need to be registered to vote, to support an initiative? NO.

These are:  Human Dignity Right to Life Right to Integrity of the Person Prohibition of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment Right to Liberty and Security Respect for Private and Family Life Protection of Personal Data Freedom of Thought, Conscience, and Religion Freedom of Expression and Information Freedom of Assembly and Association We urge the European Commission to uphold the moral and spiritual heritage enshrined in the preamble of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights by promoting indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality, and solidarity, fostering democracy, the rule of law, and prioritizing the individual through Union citizenship and a zone of freedom, security, and justice. Request 1: Upholding Human Dignity and the Recognition of Informed Consent We urge the European Commission to propose a recommendation for Members of State on the definition of informed consent, promoting the primacy of human dignity, freedom, and bodily autonomy within the European Union. This Recommendation should prioritize the following key principles: 1. Respect for Individual Autonomy and Integrity:  Promote the fundamental principles of individual autonomy, integrity, and the prohibition of inhumane and degrading treatment within medical contexts. Recognize that informed consent means that every individual has the right to make informed decisions regarding their healthcare and treatment options for them and their children. 2. Preservation of Free Consent in all Circumstances:  Free consent is crucial both in research (clinical trials) and treatment contexts, even during emergencies. These fundamental principles cannot be suspended, for whatever reason. No exceptions are admitted. Informed consent should be freely given without undue pressure or coercion. 3. Provision of Accurate, Understandable, and Accessible Information:  Patients must be provided with accurate and accessible information about their medical conditions, available treatments, and potential risks and benefits. Transparent communication between healthcare professionals and patients is essential. 4. Comprehensive Understanding of Clinical Trials and Medical Procedures: Patients should fully understand the nature, purpose, risks, and potential benefits of clinical trials, medical procedures, or treatments to make well-informed decisions. 5. Recognizing the Right to Refuse or Withdraw Consent: Individuals have the right to refuse or withdraw consent at any point in their medical journey without facing unwarranted pressure or coercion. Healthcare providers should respect and honor patients' decisions. Request 2: Enhancing Transparency and Empowering Citizens We request the European Commission to introduce a legal act that enhances transparency and access to information in EU decision-making processes: 1. Mandating greater transparency: by calling for the publication of agendas, meeting minutes, internal reports, e-mails, and SMS. 2. Disclosing lobbying activities: by establishing a public register of lobbyists names (not just organizations) and their interactions with EU officials. 3. Prohibiting secretive meetings: EU officials should not participate alone in secret and secretive meetings; representatives of citizens and local, national, and European parliamentarians should be present. 4. Evaluating public interest over private interest: Mechanisms should be set up to evaluate the prevalence of public interest over private interest, especially concerning trade secrets that may affect public policy objectives like Public Health. 5. Establishing sanctions for violations: Effective sanctions and penalties should be put in place for EU officials who violate these rules.
