"Mr President, I wish to thank our fellow Member for her report with regard to which, however, I am completely in agreement with Anne Jensen in her observations.
I should like to mention, this evening, just one of the fundamental points, to my mind, that this report highlights. It relates to information policy, which makes it possible to communicate effectively with the half billion citizens that together we now comprise. In this respect, I will say in my turn that I support one hundred per cent the grant provided to encourage the new policy on local media. Having said that, ladies and gentlemen, we need to stimulate a new kind of European public debate which transcends national borders and is taken up throughout Europe, and for that we must put into effect three major projects.
Firstly, the European Parliament’s Internet television channel must rapidly become a reality which will bring us closer to our fellow citizens and which will create more transparency in our work. Secondly, we have to use all the new means of communication. For example, tomorrow I am organising a discussion forum on the Internet from Brussels with secondary school pupils from Dijon within the framework of a Franco-German project. Thirdly, on a cautionary note, I should like to say that the establishment of a visitor centre in Brussels must not cover up the lack of facilities for groups of visitors during the plenary sittings at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and we need to think about that."@en1
