Question for written answer - European Parliament

?Question for written answer E-005933/2020to the CommissionRule 138Charlie Weimers (ECR), Peter Kofod (ID), Rob Rooken (ECR), Jorge Buxadé Villalba (ECR), Angel Dzhambazki (ECR), Andrey Slabakov (ECR), Teuvo Hakkarainen (ID), Nicolaus Fest (ID)Subject:Improving possibilities for citizens to provide feedback on roadmapsRoadmaps describe problems to be tackled and objectives to be met. They also outline why action at EU level is considered necessary. According to the Commission, this feedback ‘contributes to fine-tuning the initiatives’ and contributions are ‘translated [...] into concrete policy options’.The feedback period for the Commission roadmap for the New Pact on Migration and Asylum ran from 30 July to 27 August 2020, when most Europeans were on holiday.Given that the Commission already discounts holiday periods from the eight-week period for subsidiarity checks carried out by national parliaments:1.Has it considered implementing a similar practice to ensure that feedback periods for roadmaps are either not opened during the holiday season at all, or are prolonged by discounting recess periods so that citizens and stakeholders are not stripped of their democratic right to be informed and provide their feedback?2.Will it consider this suggestion when it conducts the next review of its working methods? ................
