"I voted for this report because it offers ways for EU citizens and society to be able to participate more actively in national and public life throughout the EU. Hitherto it has not been made clear enough to EU citizens that political decisions taken at EU level are of direct relevance to their daily lives. There is a lack of reasoned and in-depth information about the EU in Member States’ media. I agree with the rapporteur that Member States should increase the number of accredited journalists in the EU institutions. Lithuania, for instance, does not currently have a single accredited journalist in the EU institutions. We should continue to train journalists and develop their knowledge of the complex EU decision-making process. The Euronews television channel could begin broadcasts in the languages of most of the EU Member States and the EU institutions could prepare reports in the social media which is becoming increasingly popular among young people. In particular, I support the rapporteur’s call to respect the freedom and editorial independence of the media, especially the right of public service radio and television broadcasters to schedule their programmes as they see fit. However, the governments of some EU Member States limit the funding of public service broadcasters and by so doing, aim to influence the selection of staff and the content of programmes."@en1
