After years of campaigning with you for an ECI that works, the European Commission has finally responded announcing that it will propose a revision to the ECI this year.

We are closer than ever to an enhanced, user-friendly and powerful ECI that works. We need your participation now more than ever. Please, take part in the Public Consultation of the commission. We have prepared some guidelines about how to easily complete the questionnaire of the consultation, teaming together with Democracy International, Mehr Demokratie and ECAS.
