"2008 is a crucial year for all of the institutions to prepare for the European elections next year. It is in all our interests to work together to maximise turn-out in June 2009. The work launched by the recent communication ‘Debate Europe’, promoting active dialogue between citizens and decision makers on European issues, should contribute to this work.
But the Commission and Parliament already work in close partnership in these areas, both in Brussels and at the level of our representation and information offices in Member States. Last month our services started a new working group to maximise the joint impact of our activities and also to seek closer cooperation between Commission and Parliament representations and offices. We are looking to revise the 2001 Code of Conduct on the working relationship that will open up new ways for us to work together, as well as facilitating the common use of resources such as audiovisual or press monitoring tools.
We are also committed to the goal of shared premises in Member States – the so-called ‘EU Houses’ – and already in 25 of the 27 Member States our offices share space in the same building. As you know, we are in a pilot project in three of these European Houses – in Madrid, Dublin and Tallinn – with a common space which we call a ‘European public space’. We have been able to broaden the scope of our activities to engage with cultural activities, and scientific and youth events as well. We now have a first report on this pilot project with the European public spaces. It seems to be very positive and we will continue along these lines."@en1
