"The downward trend in the turnout rate at the last European elections showed, once again, how urgent it is to redouble efforts to bridge the gap between the EU and its citizens. The economic crisis, currently faced by the countries of the Union, similarly demands genuine support and abiding confidence in the European institutions from its citizens. Against this backdrop, the Treaty of Lisbon, particularly with the launch of the citizens’ initiative, encourages a more democratic Union, but this cannot be contemplated without the introduction of a comprehensive communication policy. I therefore voted for this resolution, which promotes the creation of a public sphere in Europe. This is clearly the responsibility of all of us: MEPs, members of national parliaments, political parties, teaching establishments and public service broadcasters. However, there should be a word of caution, for communicating more really means communicating better. The creation of a European public sphere must be founded on information that is reliable, factual and independent. In addition to this quality criterion, a pedagogical approach must also be taken to imparting information, so as to make the functioning of the European institutions more understandable and consequently more appealing."@en1
