"May I first answer Mr Perry. He said that the situation is getting worse. That is a very negative way of seeing things. Probably, the honourable Member is right. I just hope the situation is not getting worse everywhere. That would be terrible. But if it is getting worse anywhere, we have to take that very seriously. We cannot just say that it is getting worse and not do anything. We have to act.
The new information programme which is going to be set up and which will integrate all the actors at regional and national level will do a lot of good for the future information policy.
Mr Perry has addressed three specific points. Firstly, the website address should be better known. I know about this problem. On 3 April we launched the new access facility – Europe direct. We will be distributing information about this site to schools and local authorities.
Regarding a Parliamentary TV channel, the Commission would not object if Parliament proposed such an activity. However, I leave that initiative to Parliament.
Regarding the Committee on Petitions and creating publicity about it, the last time this was done was when I was president of that committee. I consider it very important. There are colleagues in this Chamber who sat with me on that committee some years ago. It is the committee most concerned with the Europe of the citizen. If Parliament decided to take action
the citizens by utilising the Committee on Petitions, you can rest assured that the Commission would support it."@en1
