How did Portugal cut its drug-related deaths? Why are there so many more women on Icelandic boards? Why does Finland have virtually no homelessness? And why is corruption in Denmark so low?

The EU needs an agency or institute that focuses on comparative analysis and consults governments about successful policies in other countries. It will help improve overall convergence and allow for collaborative learning as well as more efficient policy-making.

Thank you for sharing this idea on our platform.

Are you aware of the steps to follow to draft and register a European Citizens’ Initiative? Are you currently looking for partners and/or for further developments of your idea?

Please note that you can find useful information and guidance notes in the LEARN section of the Forum, especially in terms of procedural steps or tips to draft an initiative (https://collab.ec.europa.eu/wiki/eci/display/ECI/Learn).

If you are looking for partners to form a citizens’ committee, make sure you check out the CONNECT section of the Forum (https://collab.ec.europa.eu/wiki/eci/display/ECI/Connect). Here, you can search the database, identify users committed to your same cause and contact them to be potential co-organisers for your initiative or even for advice.

Let us draw your attention to the existence of EU instruments linked to the issue you are raising, such as the Single Market Scoreboard, which devotes particular attention to the exchange of best practices among Member States. Please find more information following this link: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/scoreboard/feedback/best_practices/index_en.htm.

If you have already started to draft an initiative and are looking for advice (whether legal advice, or advice on campaigning, fundraising, communicating, or other aspects), check out the SEEK ADVICE section of the Forum in order to receive tailor-made feedback on your proposed initiative (https://collab.ec.europa.eu/wiki/eci/display/ECI/Seek+advice).

If you have reached the stage to be ready to register an initiative, the Official Register of the European Citizens’ Initiative might be more adapted to your request: http://ec.citizens-initiative.europa.eu/public/how-to-register.
