"One of the new initiatives of course is that we need a European political culture, and that is what, as you know, we have presented. And this has been adopted by Parliament as well to engage in political foundations which can contribute to the debate. This is because we need to have it in the regular political discussions at all levels: EU issues have to be integrated better. I think that this initiative, in allowing European political foundations, will help.
I think we need to do it through the media, to have a European media reporting on EU affairs, and that is why we have a new internet strategy, we have a new audiovisual strategy, where we will be better equipped to put European issues in media reporting all over Europe.
And I think we have to provide the meeting places, the public spaces, and this is where we have some pilot projects to allow for that. These transnational projects where we have engaged in consultation with citizens can, I think, give us some useful lessons as well as some useful experience that hopefully we will be able to put in place permanently one day.
But we have to use all these channels to be effective in not cutting off, but in engaging citizens: listening to them, explaining to them and advocating what we are doing at EU level."@en1
