The participants at the ECI Day 2017 had a chance to witness a turning point for the European citizens' initiative, when First Vice-President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans announced the long-awaited revision of the instrument. The European Commission proposal for a new regulation followed soon after and it materialised in September 2017 as part of a priority package accompanying the State of the Union. What this means is that the ECI is now going through a very dynamic period of being redefined and reshaped, and it faces a lot of changes soon to be discussed in the three-way consultations between the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council.
