"Like Mr MacCormick, Mr Gasòliba i Böhm touched on a major issue related to the fact that centralising the provision of information is not viable. If information were to be issued solely from Strasbourg or solely from Brussels, it would not reach the public. I am absolutely sure that, if we want to bring Europe closer to the citizens and the citizens closer to Europe, there must be a regional dimension to the information policy at all levels, including information relating to the euro. In practice, the euro cannot be introduced by means of a television programme. We must not forget the importance of television but, in addition and above all, we have to keep the people at grassroots informed – to approach the people and talk to them. And there are a great many information outlets available to us in our regions, towns and villages which can play a very significant role in this. It would be a mistake for a policy to be managed solely by an advertising agency and not implemented at grass roots level in consultation with the citizens directly concerned. I am in total agreement with Mr Gasòliba i Böhm when he says that we must integrate this regional dimension into our information policy and, when I discuss the issue with the competent national politicians, I will ensure that this is taken into account."@en1
