lpv:translated text	"When preparing for the next European Parliament elections, we must focus on attracting a higher turnout, not just optimum technical organisation. Given that the 2009 elections recorded the lowest ever turnout in the institution’s 30 years (43 % of eligible European voters), I wish to highlight the need for a bigger awareness campaign on the importance of electoral participation. The public should be aware that, following the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Parliament enjoys more power than in the past. It is inconceivable that the public’s representatives, who were entrusted with this power, were sadly elected by less than half of the European citizens, while all will be directly influenced by their decisions."@en1
