"Mr President, I am speaking on behalf of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, which has presented a certain number of amendments that I can combine in several chapters. The first concerns the perspectives and priorities of the European Parliament, notably in the framework of the Prince programme. We talked about the subject this morning in the course of the meeting on the issue of interinstitutional information, and we are very concerned about the non-implementation of a fair portion of the appropriations made to the priorities that Parliament recommends, has already recommended and will again recommend for next year. I would appeal to the Commission to place this non-implementation at the heart of its concerns. Commissioner Barnier is well aware of the matter. I think that we are in a decisive year for the integration of Europe and for the image of Europe. The Constitution will, we hope, be adopted, and the elections are approaching. The credits in question must, therefore, be implemented and put to good use. So much for the first chapter of the amendments by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs. There then follows another chapter of amendments that I would call ‘image of the institutions’. We would put forward the idea, which we would ask the general rapporteur also to support, that the Internet should become the tool by which Europeans can really take an interest in, and get up to date with, what is happening in Europe. I am thinking not only of the written Internet, which obviously makes a lot of things possible already, but also of the broadcasting of debates such as the budgetary debate, the committee debates, the public meetings of the Council, when these take place, and the daily conferences of the European Commission. We think that this tool, which is actually very cheap to use, really can enable people to keep up to date with what is happening in the European institutions."@en1
