"On 7 September, I voted for the proposal to adopt the European Parliament draft resolution on journalism and new media – creating a public sphere in Europe (). According to the results of various Eurobarometer polls, citizens are under-informed on EU policies and issues. However, those same polls demonstrate that this information is relevant to society. Participants in the polls also maintain that this lack of information is one of the main reasons for people deciding not to vote and being reluctant to trust the EU institutions. I believe that in order to be effective, communication must make it clear that political decisions taken at EU level are of direct relevance to the daily lives of EU citizens, who see the EU as still being too distant and having too little influence in terms of solving their real problems. Furthermore, I agree that in order to improve people’s knowledge of the EU, EU studies need to be incorporated into the school curricula."@en1
