Due to the pandemic challenges the European Commission adopted a proposal for a time limit regulation for all phases for European citizens’ initiatives (collection, verification and examination). The proposal also regulates the situation of the Minority SafePack Intiative. Originally, a public hearing in the European Parliament was supposed to take place on 23rd of March 2020, and the European Commission was supposed to communicate its point of view before 10 July. Open hearings should be allowed as soon as the public health situation of the organizing country makes them possible.
