"Mr President, I voted for this motion for a resolution because a large proportion of the public consultations touch on vitally important subjects, but the level of participation is generally low. They should be organised involving NGOs, trade unions and the mass media, and should be accessible to everyone. Public participation is a fundamental aspect of democratic governance and should be encouraged. This is why it is vital to provide translation in all the official languages.
Sustained efforts are required to get all European citizens actively involved. At present, consultations are not organised well enough. I should emphasise how important it is to increase the level of awareness about the benefits and rights granted through EU citizenship. The Commission must also take measures to bridge the information and communication gap between the EU and its citizens."@en1
