  4. ECI PROMISING BUT NOT CATCHING LIKE (SOCIAL MEDIA) FIRE ... • Great participative innovation, amazing Treaty left-over from Constitution attempt • Limited communication, no help desk etc…: even experts & NGO leaders know little yet • Hopefully better by 1 April, but too late to avoid initial situation 'the good, the bad, the ugly’. (meeting all criteria, lacking legal basis and support, lacking even fit with EU values). • High 'kill rate' at registration? risk of 'control freak' image of 'Brussels’. • Could liven-up EU debates: Not just euro-crisis, but civil society & indignés / indignados etc … • Process can improve: 2012: first successes, 2013: policy response & political programmes, 2014: elections, and EP + new Commission mandates. • EurActiv family is committed to ECI. (EurActiv.com + 15 Country Network + BlogActiv.eu + Fondation EurActiv PoliTech + EUX.TV). • Social Media: great potential, but not supporting EU policy making yet: we have ideas in mind … • Initiative.eu: small but unique contribution to help “initiators”
