". Mr President, as draftsman for the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, I would like to draw the attention of the Commissioners and my fellow Members to two fundamental aspects of the amendments we have tabled, which I hope Parliament and the Committee on Budgets will be able to accept. The first aspect concerns the Prince programme. This was Parliament’s main priority, which we quite rightly imposed on the Commission. I believe this programme proved its worth in the assessment and popularisation of a number of our priorities, European priorities: the euro and other subjects have subsequently been addressed. This year, the programme has been drastically reduced by the Commission in its preliminary draft budget, which is baffling considering that 2003 is the year in which the work of the Convention will end and that this great joint work will need to be given all the publicity and importance it deserves. We have therefore asked for substantial funding to popularise the work of the Convention, while giving those who are against this Convention or its results the opportunity to make themselves heard – which theoretically speaking is not my case. I am speaking out like this because I believe this programme to be important. The other aspect concerns the Internet. We have our citizens already have some means of access to our work, debates and press conferences. The Committee on Institutional Affairs is proposing to make the Internet a proper tool that enables citizens to say: ‘Let’s see what they’re going to say at the Commission briefing this lunchtime; let’s see what the Court of Justice judgement will be today’, etc. This programme must therefore ensure that soon, in time, the Internet becomes an important vehicle for publicising the work of all the institutions."@en1
