"Mr President
Mr Hegyi’s report is excellent and necessary. We need active dialogue between European nations and citizens. We need understanding on both sides. We also need tolerance so that we are prepared to listen to what different people have to say. We also need that in this House, in the European Parliament.
I thought it was very sad that some Members walked out of this House when President Klaus was speaking, and that that should happen during the current Czech Presidency. Are they not prepared to listen to the views of different citizens, presidents, institutions and individuals on European matters generally?
We should be prepared to listen to different points of view. We need interaction and dialogue, and these we also need at grassroots level, so that the public can feel they can have a say in matters and so that they might not have an image of the European Union as just a debating club for a small elite. I support the proposal that there should be an increase in active and tolerant, European-wide dialogue at all levels. That is what we really need."@en1
