The objective of this European Citizens' Initiative is to introduce 'a steadily increasing price on fossil fuels', which would reduce pollution and would be 'returned fairly every month to citizens as a dividend'. The organisers state that 'Scientists and economists agree: Putting an increasing price on pollution and giving the returns to households – works'.
Under the EU Treaties, the European Commission can take legal action with an aim of preserving, protecting and improving the quality of the environment as well as in the area of harmonisation of indirect taxation and commercial policy. The Commission therefore considers the initiative legally admissible and decided to register it.
