"Madam President, in Mr Lewandowski’s very comprehensive report, I was particularly interested in the Parliament budget for this election year, which has consequences for the institution’s communications policy.
Improving communication to European citizens was one of Parliament’s priorities for 2009. For them to feel more involved in the forthcoming elections and to get the highest possible turnout, it is important for MEPs to be closely associated with a decentralised information campaign in the Member States.
We also hope that local media will be fully integrated into this campaign because they play a key role in passing on information. Parliament’s communication budget and the actions planned for 2009 should therefore make sure that they interest and directly affect European citizens, who often feel that the European institutions are too detached.
Note that generally speaking these actions follow on from those begun and funded in 2008. We also hope that the new visitor centre and the web TV will soon be operational to provide better information on Parliament’s activities and to improve the relationship between citizens and the European Union."@en1
