    I’d rather get the Schengen Contract back, what is a EU passport worth of if I still have border checks within EU members

      The Schengen Agreement is still in force. There are just a bunch of criminal politicians and their accomplices in the border authorities taking a big fat shit on the law. Unfortunately with impunity.

    The current state of affairs globally:

    And a map:

    EDIT: Note that the map colors above are “binned” into a few categories, to show what approximate color is used and the colors vary within that range. Not everyone uses the same green or blue or red or whatever.

    It’s a trap! After you’ve signed this, every other petition you will encounter will make you wonder why you signed this one, but wouldn’t sign that one. You’ll be signing petitions for the rest of your life!

    I personally quite like the burgundy passport my country uses. And afaik most countries in the EU use burgundy for their passports.

    What exactly would be the added value of changing the colour of our passports?

    At the moment, EU citizens aren’t actually citizens of the EU as an entity, but citizens of a member state of the EU, and your EU citizens’ rights flow from that. Having a passport that only mentions the EU on the cover, and gives your actual nationality on the information page as a detail alongside your place of birth and distinguishing marks, would be weird to say the least in these circumstances.

    Actually establishing personal EU citizenship, so that your relationship is with the EU and your nation-state citizenship gets demoted to a secondary tier like which municipality you’re registered in, would make this make a lot more sense, but is a far more sweeping change, akin to Volt’s “United States of Europe” proposals, and is not going to come about from a petition.

    Why? Most European passports already literally say:

    European Union “Country name” Passport

    On the front.
