Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

EU Petition (feddit.org)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by MrFloppy@feddit.org to c/europe@feddit.org
 

A few days ago, I realised that it is very easy to submit an EU petition.

When I asked whether anyone had any experience with this topic, there was no answer. Nevertheless, it seems to be of interest. So I'm starting this thread to describe how my first EU petition went.

I'll create a comment for each step and number them. Furthermore, I am writing in English/German, as the English is only translated with Deepl (free version) and briefly skimmed anyway.

Vor ein paar Tagen hatte ich festgestellt, dass es sehr einfach ist, eine EU-Petition einzureichen.

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/home

Auf die Frage, ob jemand schon Erfahrung mit dem Thema hat gab es keine Antwort. Trotzdem scheint das Thema zu interessieren.Deshalb starte ich diesen Faden um zu beschreiben, wie meine erste EU-Petition gelaufen ist.

Ich erstelle für jeden Schritt einen Kommentar und nummeriere diese durch. Desweiteren schreibe ich auf englisch/deutsch, da das Englische eh nur mit Deepl übersetzt und kurz überflogen ist.

Chapter 3

This chapter is dedicated to the waiting process. I waited for over two weeks to see whether the number announced by email would be linked to the data record on the homepage.

A total of four weeks after I submitted the petition, I asked peti-secretariat@europarl.europa.eu whether the number I received by email would be linked to the data record on the homepage. Unfortunately, I still haven't received an answer after another four weeks.

So 8 weeks have passed and nothing more has happened than that I have received an email that a number has been assigned. This number is not yet in the data record and the petition is not yet public. The issue is dragging on.

Kapitel 3

Dieses Kapitel widmet sich dem Warteprozess. Über zwei Wochen habe ich es ausgehalten und gewartet, ob die per EMail angekündigte Nummer mit dem Datensatz auf der Homepage verknüpft wird.

Insgesamt vier Wochen, nachdem ich die Petition eingereicht habe, habe ich bei peti-secretariat@europarl.europa.eu nachgefragt, ob die Nummer die ich per EMail bekommen habe mit dem Datensatz auf der Homepage verknüpft wird. Leider habe ich auch nach weiteren vier Wochen noch keine Antwort darauf.

Es sind somit 8 Wochen vergangen wo noch nicht mehr passiert ist, als dass ich eine EMail erhalten habe, dass eine Nummer vergeben wurde. Diese Nummer findet sich bisher noch nicht im Datensatz und die Petition ist auch noch nicht öffentlich. Das Thema zieht sich.
