Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to thank the rapporteur for the work he has done.
Today’s debate illustrates that we are still some way from being able to say that the EU institutions provide appropriate information and communicate well with the public. The information provided must also be reliable, and our citizens must be treated as equals and individuals. Most importantly, this information must reach those who need it, as well as those who are simply interested in knowing more. A further problem to be overcome is that information is not always available in all the official languages. I would add that transparency and a lack of bureaucracy should be the governing principles of information provision. This is rarely the case, unfortunately.
I should also like to comment on a number of issues relating to the Constitutional Treaty. As I see it, what is needed is clear and objective information on this Treaty, rather than propaganda, whether for or against. The Constitutional Treaty is an extremely detailed document, and the result of numerous compromises. Our citizens should therefore be provided with information they can trust, and the starting point should be good translations."@en1
