Published on the official page of the European Commission, the initiative is entitled "Fur Free Europe".

The initiative of the organizers aims to ban the practice of keeping and killing animals for fur production and it also aims to ban fur products on the EU market.

The Commission has not yet analyzed the proposal in detail at this stage, but it considers the initiative legally admissible, since it fulfills formal conditions.

In order for the Commission to react, the organizers must collect at least one million signatures within one year from at least seven Member States.

Whether the Commission will take the proposal forward or not, we'll have to see, but it will still have to motivate its decision.

The European Citizens' Initiative was introduced with the Lisbon Treaty in April 2012 as an agenda-setting tool in the hands of the citizens.

Since the launch of the ECI, 112 requests were made, out of which 88 were approved and qualified to be registered.
