Europe for Citizens (formerly Citizens for Europe) is a European Union program designed to help bridge the gap between citizens and the European Union. The current program expires in 2006. The European Commission on 6 April 2005 has adopted a proposal for a new program to run from 2007 to 2013. The programme will provide the Union with instruments to promote active European citizenship, put citizens in the centre and offers them the opportunity to fully assume their responsibility as European citizens. The Commission has determined that citizens should also be aware of their duties as citizen and become actively involved in the process of European integration, developing a sense of belonging and a European identity. The global aim of the proposed program is to contribute to: The proposal affirms that Union citizenship should be the fundamental status of nationals of the Member States. The budget for the new program is €235 million.
