lpv:translated text	"I voted for the European Parliament resolution on more effective distribution of information about the European Union to the public. The people of Latvia do not appreciate the difference between the EU Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament. Ninety-nine per cent of people in Latvia do not understand the functions and significance of European Union institutions. We have to explain the point of the EU’s activity to every EU citizen. If we fail to do this very soon, the turnout at European elections will become minimal, and people will come to mistrust the decisions and laws made by EU institutions. I voted in favour of paying greater attention to the EU’s communications policy; in favour, therefore, of informing people as much as possible how and for what purpose funds from the EU budget are spent. If we succeed in making the best progress we can in this direction, then we may just inspire greater confidence in people, so that the people of the EU will adopt a more considered attitude to EU elections. If that were to come to pass, the membership of the European Parliament would be a great deal more professional."@en1
