I acknowledge our historic ties. There is a Franciscan monastery in Prague that goes back to 1607 and the Flight of the Earls from my county. I have read online that a new survey by The Good Information Project has found as a nation Ireland is largely supportive of the EU but is unsure how it works. Will Mr. Vurm enlighten us on the feelings of citizens in the Czech Republic towards the European Union as a project? His contribution was very much focused on Europe being a consensus-building community rather than being an orchestra for the rest of the world, which comes from Václav Havel's philosophy. Will Mr. Vurm elaborate on the attitude of Czech citizens towards the European Union and their participation in it?
