This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is a decision for the EU, not the UK Government or Parliament.

The European Parliament has a petitions process. You can find out more here:

http://www.europarl.europa.eu/atyourservice/en/20150201PVL00037/Petitions

Alternatively, you could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to press for this at EU level.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
