lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like firstly to congratulate Mr Andreasen, not only on the timeliness and necessity of his report, but for the quality of his work which has impressed us very much. This report supplements, strengthens and, in a positive sense, counterbalances the communications which we have received from the Commission since Commissioner Vitorino took up this post. I am sure that the Commissioner will agree with me that the Andreasen report comes at a very appropriate time to improve the future communication which the Commission is going to present to us in June. At the moment, without wishing to be over-optimistic, I believe that we can say that the information and communication machinery of the European institutions is well-oiled, the defects have been detected and the instruments fine-tuned. What we must do is act according to the guidelines indicated in the Commission’s documents which have now been so wonderfully complemented by the Andreasen report. Commissioner, I did want to mention a worrying aspect on which I agree with the rapporteur: the budgetary forecasts for the coming years show a decreasing trend in this area. And, while it is true that the euro campaign has turned out to be very successful and that its entry into circulation is a great boost, there are other great challenges such as institutional reform and enlargement, which will still demand a great effort over the coming years. And I therefore believe that both the Commission, which is responsible for preparing the draft budget, and Parliament, as the budgetary authority, should be very attentive to these needs. Mr President, information and communication are key elements for the success of European construction and I believe that we must communicate the idea that the Union is a community of values, a legal and political entity which has no historical precedent, which defines a new concept of transnational citizenship, to every corner of the Fifteen countries and all future Member States. This is the message we must communicate and, if we manage to deliver it to its destination, we will make Europe a principal player which is respected on the world stage. There is no doubt that Mr Andreasen’s report is an excellent contribution to this task."@en1
