lpv:spoken text	". I fully support this report on the Commission communication, which aims to improve information exchange between the EU and its citizens. Anti-EU campaigns in countries such as Ireland have clearly demonstrated the need for a positive communication strategy. Moreover, the practical policy prescriptions outlined in this report show that the EU is serious about becoming closer to European citizens and countering the common perception that it is run by an elite bureaucracy. Focusing on issues which affect people's daily lives, such as food safety, the euro and justice and home affairs, will ensure that citizens fully engage in the debate about Europe. Moreover, the focus on decentralisation in this communication exchange is pertinent: regions vary dramatically across the EU and local authorities are attuned to regional needs and issues of local importance. They are clearly the best placed to disseminate information about the EU. Similarly, it is vital that regional TV should be involved. Finally, the call for more Internet use in the information campaign will ensure that this campaign is not only cost-effective but environmentally sound, too. Since the European Parliament is the European institution closest to European citizens, it would make sense for it to become the institution around which this information campaign revolves."@en1
