lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am speaking in this debate in my capacity as Vice-President of Parliament, responsible for information and communication, and also as co-chairman of the interinstitutional group on information and communication. Mr Monti, you have told us that the Commission attaches great importance to information and communication policy. It may attach importance to it, but it is in absolutely no hurry, since this House has been waiting impatiently for a year and a half for the delivery of the great document on information and communication that Mr Prodi promised us. And, after a year and a half, we have been told that Parliament and the Commission will be producing this together. Frankly, Commissioner, in this area, the Commission compares very badly with a tortoise. You have said that information and communication are of great importance. Mr Prodi is no doubt aware of certain image problems he has as President of the Commission, which have repercussions for the whole College of Commissioners. I suppose that he is also aware of the trends in participation in European elections over the last decade, and I suppose that he is aware of the vicious campaign being waged against the European Union and its institutions by very powerful sections of the media in certain Member States. Mr Monti, when we were told that we had to produce this document together, we got on with the job and we already have a document prepared. We have produced it in three months. Can it be that this humble Parliament has more resources, more power, more intelligence or more possibilities than the Commission? I doubt it. With whom are we supposed to negotiate politically on this issue? You said your ‘colleagues responsible for the matter. Who are they? We do not know them. We would like to know who they are."@en1
