Questions: Should a time limit for the collection of signatures be fixed? If so, would you consider that one year would be an appropriate time-limit?

such initiatives are often linked to particularly topical issues and may refer to problems which, if there is no time limit, or if the time limit is too long, lose their relevance; the context in which people sign may change if the period is too long (for example, if European legislation on the same subject is amended or adopted in the meantime).
However, perhaps 18 months is a more reasonable time frame in the face of organisational requirements.
