"Mr President, progress in Europe over a generation shapes the response to the political challenge since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Now, the Europe that, since the Second World War, has been divided by an Iron Curtain, both physical and ideological, is to be united. The objective is both a political and a formal unification, as well as a real levelling out of the major economic and political differences that have divided Europe. We must therefore be delighted about enlargement, even at those times when it proves to be problematic. We must also remember, however, to tell the people of Europe about our common European success. In spite of the success of enlargement and of the ever greater importance of the EU in people’s everyday lives, it is still a fact that we politicians are not good enough at delivering the message to the people. Once more, therefore: in our political work, higher priority must continue to be given to informing and communicating with the people. It may be that, in the forthcoming election, we shall already be given a lesson in the form of a disappointingly low turn-out. It cannot, therefore, be repeated often enough: a successful EU of 25 Member States requires the politicians and the institutions to be in dialogue with the people."@en1
