Strasbourg, 13/03/2002 (Agence Europe) - On Wednesday, the European Parliament adopted recommendations put forward by Danish Liberal Ole Andreasen, Rapporteur on the European Commission's communication on the European Union's information and communication policy. The Parliament is convinced that this information must essentially cover problems that closely affect citizens (food safety, the euro, employment, environment, and crime) without ruling out the major campaigns on the future of Europe, and that it must be decentralised, factual, readable and impartial. The television has an undeniable role to play. It must be put to correct use, with special emphasis being placed on regional channels, including in candidate countries. The same is true for Internet resources: the EP calls for reorganisation of the different websites of the main institutions and a common Commission-Council-Parliament portal. The EP also calls for an "education" unit to be established within it, as well as available and adequate video-conference material, and finally raises the question of spending for visitors' groups. An impact analysis is wanted.
