lpv:translated text	"Madam President, President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioners, the way speaking time is organised is so mischievous and bizarre that I now have to speak again about transport problems and agencies. Having said that, I very much support what my colleague Mr Hatzidakis has said, namely that we must keep the lines as they were in the preliminary draft budget because there are no savings to be made on these policies for the present. I would like to take the opportunity, Commissioner, to respond to the problem of the policy of providing information to European Union citizens. This subject will really be one of the most important in the years ahead. You may know that several of us have tabled amendments to restore the lines to what they were last year. The most important thing, however, is that all institutional communication should get as close to ordinary citizens as possible. What worries me the most about the present communications policy is that we do not have the necessary tools to reach those who are going to vote. The citizen’s ignorance of the present machinery and the institutions as they will be is quite appalling. You have the resources, Commissioner, but for goodness sake let us ensure that they go to the heart of our present-day society. That would be a great step forward for the democratic future of our Union."@en1
