European Council Rule of Law Report 2022 and Rule of Law Situation in Ireland: Engagement with Ms Vra Jourová
Ms Vra Jourov?:
Two minutes will be enough. I will lose one minute in reacting. We discussed in the Commission last week that, when we look at the Gauss curve, we are with our communication addressing 2% or 3% of people. Those who are convinced already that the EU is a good thing are those reading our websites. On the other side of the Gauss curve, there is an increasing number of those we will never convince and those we are losing. It used to be 15% or 20%. Now in some member states, we are above 40%. That is critical mass.
