"In my speech I would like to applaud the Commission’s initiative relating to the European Citizens Consultation 2009 project. This project brings together citizens from the 27 EU Member States ahead of the European Parliament elections in order to discuss responses to the question, ‘what can the European Union do to influence our economic and social future in a globalised world?’
National consultations with Slovak citizens took place on 28–29 March. The European Citizens’ Summit will take place on 10–11 May 2009 in Brussels, where 150 participants from the 27 national consultations will draft a final version of the European recommendations which MEPs will be able to use in the coming election period as a basis for creating European legislation.
I firmly believe that only through discussions with citizens will we renew their faith in the uniqueness of the European project. At the same time I call on the media to be more objective and more active in presenting information on the European Parliament as this will be important in influencing voter turnout."@en1
