lpv:translated text	"Mr President, many fine words have been spoken regarding Mr Barroso’s new team of commissioners – and rightly so. I speak now because it is necessary to draw attention to a major mistake that has been made in connection with the new Commission: one may look in vain for the position of Commissioner for Communication. It has quite simply been DISCONTINUED – and that at a time when – more than ever – we need a proper, coordinated, well thought-out communication policy within the EU. A couple of weeks ago, I sent Mr Barroso a letter on behalf of the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe expressing our concern and asking WHY we no longer have a Commissioner for Communication. No reply has ever been received – which is perhaps a kind of answer in itself, if not a satisfactory one. It thus seems that no one is sure why the EU does not have a commissioner for what is an incredibly important – in fact, quite crucial – area if the many great speeches about getting closer to the EU’s citizens and creating a common European public space are to be anything more than just fine words. I am still waiting for an answer from Mr Barroso – preferably an answer with a proper plan for communication in the forthcoming five years."@en1
