"Madam President, this Parliament will have an increasingly important role – we said this during the discussions on our confidence in the President of the Commission, Mr Prodi – and I believe that more and more should be known about Parliament’s work in all the nations of the European Union. To achieve this, I think that we should improve our relations with the press and that journalists’ work should be made easier. You have already done a lot and I note that this Presidency is sensitive to the needs of the press and has always been very helpful. When the sitting opened, you announced that some initiatives have already been adopted and specific responses have been given to the Parliamentary press but, I repeat, I think that much more needs to be done to facilitate journalists’ work so that they can inform the entire European Union about the important work carried out in the Parliament. Journalists still do not work under optimum conditions, and so I think it is appropriate, for example, to move the pressroom to the area beneath the Chamber. Their current room is still too far away and it is not often easy for the journalists to come and talk to the Members, especially during important sittings.
I think that thanks to your interventions, we can build on past improvements and continue to improve the situation over the coming weeks and months. As a Parliamentary journalist and Member, I would be grateful for any assistance you can provide regarding this matter."@en1
