"As always, the approaching European Parliament elections make the issue of the level of information provided and deficiencies in the dialogue with citizens, specifically at a European level, very topical.
In this context, I welcome the motion for a resolution for active dialogue with citizens, which underlines the importance of involving European institutions, the trans-European education system and the mass media. The rejection of the Constitutional Treaty in France and Holland and Ireland’s opposition to the Treaty of Lisbon expressed through a referendum have highlighted that initiating a campaign targeted at citizens with a lower level of education is a viable and necessary strategy, which I fully support.
Given the increased level of Internet access in the European Union’s Member States, we should deploy this tool and use it to make dialogue with citizens more effective. This could allow people’s opinions to be recorded, which would be evaluated later on and incorporated as part of our decision-making process. I also think that the EU’s history, the way it works and citizens’ rights should feature as basic components in the curriculum at European level.
I therefore strongly believe that the conditions can be guaranteed for a coherent dialogue with citizens, which will deal with Europe and the European Union from a different perspective, based on accurate information and knowledge."@en1
