Reagrupament Independentista has promoted the presentation of a European Citizens’ Initiative. The European Union has been requested to approve by legislation the recognition of the act of succession as a member of the European Union to any new state coming from the democratic secession from any other state member of the EU. And it has been requested on 1st April, the first able day for the requests of European Citizens’ Initiatives to the European Commission.

Reagrupament Independentista’s target is Catalonia becoming a state under the rule of law, independent, democratic and social, integrated into the European Union and, up to now, it does not exist any EU legislation encompassing the possibility of an internal enlargement of the EU.It does not exist a legislation guaranteeing the continuity of the effective application of the legal order within the EU in the new state and, specially, on the rights and obligations recognized to the European citizen.

At the moment the European Commission admits this European Citizens’ Initiative, Reagrupament will look for the maximum number of supports from European citizens, associations and political parties, so that they support the initiative and to achieve all the signatures required by the EU to accept or reject this legal act proposal for the recognition of the new states as EU members.
