lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioners, the European Union’s information service has all too often seemed like propaganda passed down to the masses from above. The language of communication is also often cumbersome and not enough attention is paid to cultural differences. However, now it would appear that there is hope for better things to come. In the plans drafted under the guidance of Commissioner Vitorino we can read of the aim to base communications on the public’s need for information. That is how it should be too. The Commission’s four priorities concerning information – enlargement, the future of the Union, establishing the area of freedom, security and justice, and the EU’s role in the world, are absolutely crucial. That is why it is unthinkable that the Council should make cuts in its own draft budget in the area of appropriations for the information service. The Committee on Culture, Youth, Education, the Media and Sport, which supports Commissioner Vitorino’s information policy, has unanimously proposed there should be additional resources for the budget headings concerned with information. The social democrats in the Committee on Budgets adhere to the same policy. We cannot ask the people to become interested in our work if they do not know what is going on here."@en1
