Developing civil dialogue under the Treaty of Lisbon

This procedure examines how to enhance citizen participation and dialogue within the European Union's decision-making processes, as outlined in the Treaty of Lisbon. It aims to strengthen the democratic legitimacy of the EU by ensuring citizens' voices are heard more effectively.

The focus is on improving the channels for civil society and individual citizens to engage with EU institutions. This could lead to more inclusive policies and a greater sense of ownership of the European project among the public.
