lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I share your and Mr Aparicio Sánchez’s concerns regarding the fact that we are discussing such a fundamental proposal so late. I would also like to thank Mr Bayona de Perogordo and congratulate him on the report on which we are now finally adopting a position. It is a comprehensive report, and I know from experience that the work involved in such a report is fairly demanding. The report takes us a good step closer to our goal of a comprehensive coordinated and decentralised information and communication policy, or in Commissioner Vitorino’s words in the ‘Friends of Europe’ debate: ‘the fight against apathy and ignorance regarding the EU’. I would also like to thank you, Commissioner Vitorino, for your great commitment to this issue. I would also express my regret at the form of debate that we are having here in Parliament, since it excludes you from being able to answer questions here and now. Although we have made some great progress, many questions remain unanswered, and I will mention some of them and will happily send them to you as well, for it is important that we do not rest on our laurels in the information and communication strategy at a time when so much is at stake concerning enlargement and the future of the EU and when we are also coming up to elections to the European Parliament. That is why I ask: how far has the feasibility study got and the opportunities for a European ‘C-SPAN’ that the Commission is to implement? How far have we progressed in the work on the ‘Channel Europe’ concept? How far have we got with establishing a common visitor centre for the institutions in Brussels? How far have we got with calculations and costs for the initiatives proposed previously? How far have we got in our efforts to get the information offices of the Commission and of Parliament under the same roof in the capitals? I know that nothing has happened in Copenhagen. Allow me finally to ask the Presidency of Parliament: would it not be an idea, Mr President, for us to hold a debate in plenary on Parliament’s role in the information strategy up until the 2004 elections?"@en1
