This is not a petition but an initiative.
The EU is legally forced to process this as if it was an initiative made by a member of the European parliament.
They have as much legislative power as any initiative by an MEP/MP/senator/congressman does. If there is no political support in the parties, the initiative will lose the vote. But it can also win it.

Can't the EU just say no? Or do petitions actually have legislative powers.
