Europe is not a burden—it is a promise of freedom and opportunity. Yet, too often, citizens are met with bureaucracy, complex forms, and cross-border headaches that make daily life frustrating. We believe the European Union must be useful, practical, and close to your real needs.
That's why Renew Europe is launching the "Simplifying citizens’ lives" - an ambitious roadmap to put the citizen first by cutting through red tape and building smarter, digital solutions. It’s time to rebuild trust and prove that Europe delivers concrete results in your everyday life.
Have your say! What would make your life simpler?
The EU has built the Single Market to support cross-border mobility. It promises free movement for people, goods, and services. Yet, fragmented rules, hidden barriers, and unnecessary complexity still prevent citizens from fully enjoying their rights, whether traveling, working, studying, or accessing services across borders.
Have you experienced one of these barriers?
Now is the time to let the EU know! We want your feedback on:
✅ Real-life experiences of cross-border obstacles in everyday situations (work, travel, consumer rights, energy access, EU funding).
✅ Practical ideas to improve the clarity, accessibility, and digital compatibility of existing EU rules.
✅ Suggestions for new or improved measures to reduce administrative burdens and enhance coordination.
Renew Europe keeps fighting to make your life easier! From recognition of diplomas to access to healthcare abroad, from easier cross-border travel to seamless digital identification, Renew Europe’s initiative brings together one guiding principle: Europe must be useful, practical, and close to citizens’ real needs.
Making life simpler for European citizens is not just a nice-to-have – it's a necessity. We are committed to shaping a citizen-first European Union that focuses on what truly improves people's lives: mobility, opportunity, security, and fairness.

What the plan means for you
Our plan tackles the moments when you interact with the EU, transforming barriers into opportunities. Every simplified form, every digitalized procedure, brings Europe closer to its people.
Easier Diploma Recognition
At Renew Europe we believe, your diploma should have no borders. Your qualifications should open doors, not create frustrating barriers. It's time to give more people automatic digital recognition & make the whole process easier
Recognized Prescriptions
We want that every prescription is understood, recognized, & filled. Renew Europe is committed to ensuring complete mutual recognition of all EU prescriptions & are working to bring more Member States onto the seamless MyHealth@EU system.
Easier Flight Reimbursement
You have the right to compensation, but it is often very difficult to claim it. We're fighting to make this happen by suggesting a single digital complaints platform for the whole of the EU & a deadline for payment that must be met.
