Mr President, it is definitely an extraordinary challenge to communicate in a European Union of 20 official languages, with a very complex structure, which is an evolving project. It is also a political arena with all the different views reflected, as is demonstrated here all the time.
In ending this debate, I would just like to repeat my thanks to you for your views. From much of what has been said, and some of the very good ideas we have heard, I can see there is convergence with what we are now preparing in the White Paper. But I must just repeat that communication – and this is also addressed to Mr Portas, for example – is a two-way process. It has to be a dialogue; it has also to involve listening to citizens. That is my second point and I mentioned it in my introduction. One of the guiding principles has to be to listen better to citizens and their concerns, otherwise we will not succeed.
I agree with those who have said that propaganda will not work. Scaremongering will not work either, so I think we have to be very careful in designing our information activities. I underline what has been said by Mr Karas and others. This is something for all players. It has to be integrated at the very start of the process of preparing different proposals.
We have also received some very good ideas including journalist awards. A number of things have been mentioned that we will follow up. When our White Paper has been published, we will soon have a chance to come back with a number of these principles and very concrete proposals. Thank you for the debate."@en1
