lpv:translated text	"As Questions Nos 42 and 43 deal with the same subject, we will now take them together. Question No. 42 by Justas Vincas Paleckis () Following the referenda in France and the Netherlands, the media and society as a whole are engaging in ever more frequent discussions about ‘the democratic crisis in Europe’, ‘the distance between the bureaucrats and the citizens’ and the fact that ‘people’s real lives are being ignored’. For the most part these are populist slogans that seek to use the wave of Euroscepticism for political gain. However, as the outcomes of the aforementioned referenda have shown, there is a real difference between the official position of the EU and its Member States and the opinions of the public. This is a sign that calls for decisive action, especially as the governments of EU Member States are often keen to take the credit for positive initiatives (including those backed by the Commission), while they blame ‘Brussels bureaucrats’ for negative, unpopular or unsuccessful decisions. What is the Commission’s position, and what plans does it have to address the matter? More specifically, how do the Commissioners view the situation? Are there plans for new measures to be taken to project the idea of a united Europe and provide information on the EU’s practical achievements? How is the Commission going to coordinate its actions in this field with the governments of the EU Member States? Question No. 43 by Gay Mitchell () The Commission recently announced what it calls its Plan D, for democracy, debate and dialogue, recognising that much must be done in order to explain to European citizens why the EU is involved in key issues that concern them, such as jobs, the economy, pensions and so on. Can the Commission indicate in advance of the White Paper that is scheduled to be presented later in the year any of the new initiatives that it will propose with a view to improving communication with EU citizens?"@en1
