propose EU legislation from 1st April 2012.
Requires a committee with 7 citizens from 7 EU states
then the proposals needs to be backed by at least
one million EU citizens. That might be the hard bit.
Anyway here is the info, I'm sure we can get 7 EU citizens from
7 different EU states on this forum. Just need good ideas after that.

Who can organise a citizens' initiative and how?
In order to launch a citizens' initiative, citizens must form a "citizens' committee" composed of at least 7 EU citizens being resident in at least 7 different member states.
The members of the citizens' committee must be EU citizens old enough to vote* in the European Parliament elections (18 except in Austria, where the voting age is 16).
Citizens' initiatives cannot be run by organisations. However, organisations can promote or support initiatives provided that they do so with full transparency.
The citizens' committee must register its initiative on this website before starting to collect statements of support from citizens. Once the registration is confirmed, organisers have one year to collect signatures.
