One of the biggest unsolved problems of the EU institutions is communicating what they do to the citizens of Europe. It is obvious that their efforts to date such as websites, brochures and information campaigns have not worked. Given that the EU will expand from 15 members to 25, and that the Convention is proposing to change the rules, what plans has the Convention to inform, and more importantly convince, the citizens of its benefits? This is an important issue for us politicians as we will be the people on the doorsteps answering the questions on these issues. Second, the big six countries, Germany, France, Italy, UK, Spain and Poland, will make up 74% of the population. The remaining 19 countries make up the balance. How is the Convention proposing to convince the 19 that its work is in their interests?
