This report tables a series of proposals to increase the European public’s involvement in matters relating to the European Union. It is important to promote public participation in the process of European integration, and to seek to communicate with them instead of purely and simply informing them. Informing by merely making content available is no guarantee of creating interest among citizens in Member States. It is therefore imperative that the ‘sender’ follow the principles of communication in order to create dialogue with citizens.
There are programmes, funds and aid available to EU citizens, the majority of whom are unaware of them. I would therefore stress the need to guarantee the presence of correspondents from the Member States who could build a bridge between what is done in Brussels and its impact on their countries and regions. On its own, the EU is a complex entity that is not easy to explain. There is no single, simple solution for creating a public sphere in Europe. Nevertheless, the institutional and technological framework now is better than ever. The Treaty of Lisbon is an important step in democratising the EU, and the new social media present the public with new possibilities for participating in the process of European integration."@en1
