"On the question about Plan D and the communication about ‘Debate Europe’, let me say that I see it as our duty, together with Member States and the other EU institutions, to communicate with citizens about all our policies and positions. While, on the Treaty, Member States of course have the main responsibility, the Commission must also stand ready to inform and explain.
Our recent communication, ‘Debate Europe’, aims at promoting active dialogue between citizens and decision-makers and, although not specifically referring to the Lisbon Treaty, or to the Lisbon Treaty only, actions taken under ‘Debate Europe’ may be connected with communicating on the Treaty.
The Treaty is one of our communication priorities for 2008. Our activities have been decentralised and differentiated to fit the national realities in each of our Member States, and this is ‘going local’ working in practice.
Our representatives have worked with each Member State and Parliament information offices to draw up national communication plans to respond to different needs, and the activities have included liaising with national stakeholders, training for journalists, information relays and multipliers, discussions with civil society and events at schools and universities.
We have prepared a broad range of support materials including PowerPoint presentations, elements for speeches, questions and answers, fact-sheets on different areas – all aiming to help communicators provide the facts on the issues.
And from Brussels, as you know, the Commission has also launched a website dedicated to the Treaty in the 23 official languages, and our on-line forum ‘Debate Europe’ has recently been relaunched with discussions on the Treaty proving one of the most popular areas, with many thousands of submissions."@en1
