Under Article 227 TFEU, which of the following accurately describes the admissibility criteria for a petition submitted by an EU citizen to the European Parliament? A It must concern a matter that falls within the Union’s fields of activity and directly affects the petitioner, as established by primary treaty law. B It must be submitted to the European Commission, which holds exclusive competence to examine administrative complaints from citizens residing in any Member State. C It is governed by Article 20 TFEU, which grants citizens the unconditional right to petition any EU institution or advisory body without procedural limitations. D Under the former Treaty on European Community (ex-Article 194 TEC), natural persons were explicitly excluded from submitting petitions, a restriction that only applied prior to the Amsterdam Treaty.
