[pp.int.general] European citizens' Initiative - ID requirement & data retention

[Jerry Weyer]

Hi Justus,

As an expat, if you don't have an ID (and it is necessary to provide an ID
number to sign a petition) you can still sign the one in your home country.
There is a possibility to sign online so that should work easily!

Only thing is, as always with the "fortress" EU: it's limited to EU
citizens.

Kind regards,

Jerry
