"Mr President, which document are you looking for, exactly? What is the document number? These are just a couple of the responses citizens can expect when they put a question to the European institutions. Citizens want information, however, not promotional material or indecipherable policy documents, and so a drastic change of course is needed. The focus must be on citizens. This forms the basis of the questions by Mr Cashman, whom I should like to thank for his excellent and – I address this to Mrs Sommer, who has unfortunately left the Chamber already – extremely transparent cooperation in the last few months.
I should like to see part of the European information budget being spent on ensuring, via both digital information media and human contact, that citizens receive genuine, complete information and answers to questions such as ‘Can you tell me the exact progress of the decisions taken by Europe on the European effort during the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference?’ This is what citizens want to know, and so I call on the Commission, the Council and, in particular, MEPs, to support our initiatives towards greater transparency. This strikes me as the only truly clear message."@en1
