lpv:translated text	"I would like to thank the Council for that answer. The decisions taken in the EU are extremely important for us European citizens, as they affect our daily lives. It is therefore also important, as the Council agrees, that citizens be given increased opportunities to follow and assess the political debates, so that they can then vote. Voting in elections is the citizens’ opportunity to show what they want Europe’s development to look like. We are in complete agreement on this. With my country, Sweden, holding the presidency, this naturally becomes even more of an issue for me as the Council’s meetings are held around the country. I am naturally satisfied with the measures taken by the Council and with the fact that work on analysing ways of increasing openness is to continue. No doubt, the Internet and electronic means can be used considerably more than they are currently. Debates can be followed live not only on TV, but via the Internet too. This is my counsel to the Council."@en1
