Commission registers two new European citizens' initiatives
The European Commission decided to register two European citizens' initiatives on 24 January.
The initiative ‘Ban on conversion practices in the European Union’ calls for a ban on interventions aimed at changing, repressing or suppressing the sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression of LGBTIQ+ citizens.
The initiative ‘European Citizens’ Initiative in Defence of Agriculture and Rural Economy in Europe’ calls for the protection of European agriculture and rural economy through a regulatory framework based on several elements including priority use of agricultural land for food production, guaranteeing food sovereignty and addressing food chain issues and high prices.
The organisers have six months now to choose the moment to start the collection of support.
