Two quick last-minute edit suggestions

1st, on the link from the Latvian flag we say "No Lettonian version is yet available," I think the standard English is "Latvian".

2nd, we say on the petition "We, European citizens" but at the signature page we say that one need not be European to sign. Maybe there was a discussion on this I missed, not saying that non-Europeans signing it is a bad thing of course, just maybe the wording on the signature page might be changed to "non-EU citizens are invited to sign in support of this EU citizen's inititiave" or something of the sort...

You are referring to the Lithuanian version. The Latvian flag is the one with Dark Red-White-Red and the text says correctly "Latvian". Yellow-Green-Red is Lithuania's flag and the text says "Lettonian". Correcting it now...

Thanks. The French names (Lettonie and Lituanie) are quite different so I constantly mix them up in English...
