Progress

How close are we to the threshold that gets the EU to respond? Track momentum here, country by country.

Pre-launch interest, not official European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) signatures

This page tracks pre-launch interest, not official European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) signatures. Official signature collection can only begin once the initiative is registered with the European Commission and uses their certified collection system. Every person who signs up below will be notified the moment official signing opens.

An ECI needs 1,000,000 signatures overall, with the threshold met in at least 7 countries. Here's where we stand on both.

The EU requires signatures to be spread across at least 7 countries, not just concentrated in one or two — this tracks how many countries have reached their individual minimum.

Interest by Country

Each country is colored by its own progress toward its own threshold — thresholds vary by population, so a small country and a large country can both show full color once each has met its own target.

Countries of Europe A blank Map of Europe. Every country has an id which is its ISO-3166-1-ALPHA2 code in lower case. Members of the EU have a class="eu", countries in europe (which I found turkey to be but russia not) have a class="europe". Certain countries are further subdivided the United Kingdom has gb-gbn for Great Britain and gb-nir for Northern Ireland. Russia is divided into ru-kgd for the Kaliningrad Oblast and ru-main for the Main body of Russia. There is the additional grouping #xb for the "British Islands" (the UK with its Crown Dependencies - Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man) and the Kingdom of Denmark (Denmark, Faroe Islands, Greenland) Contributors.
