UPDATE: Nine. 9 countries. Sweden passed the threshold *while I was writing that last post*.The "end of the collection period" is May 17 (so seven hours from now… plus 24 if the person who told me it's *EOD* May 17 is correct) so if you're an EU national you can still vote to run up the numbers and convince EU Parliament you're serious. Also:- If 4,343 Italians sign, it's ten countries endorsing- 5,308 Austrians makes it eleven- 6,794 from Portugal makes it twelvehttps://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home
