"I voted in favour of the Løkkegaard report on the role of journalism and new media in the creation of a true ‘European public sphere’. As we say again and again, the gap between the European institutions and the public must be closed as a matter of urgency. Let us remember at this point the depressingly low turnout rate during the European elections. Let us note, too, that all the indicators of Europeans’ level of confidence in European integration seem to be flashing red at the moment. The latest Eurobarometer poll is particularly eloquent in this regard, with more than half of the people questioned taking a negative view of their country’s membership of the EU. What is interesting is that, at the same time, expectations are great, since more than 80% of them say that the EU is the – and I emphasise ‘the’ – solution to the problems that exist.
In order to better explain what Europe does, and how and by what means it does it, and thus to create less disappointment, the priority must be better communication and more coverage of European news. However, I insist that, as is emphasised in the text that we have adopted, this exercise must be carried out in a climate of confidence, with respect shown for editorial independence and journalistic freedom."@en1
