Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.

 

I was interested in what the Minister of State had to say about the video produced for the younger citizens of Europe. We should try to spread that message, not only to the younger citizens of the European Union but also to every citizen if we want to succeed in selling a new and bigger European Union. The public is engaged in the debate on the Commission Presidency and how it will be finalised and selected. It is healthy that alternatives are on offer and that it is not seen as a fait accompli. I am sure Deputy John Bruton will present his analysis next week. I fully respect the Minister of State's analysis. It is a wise course he is trying to pursue. The public is interested in giving due recognition to the European Parliament and national parliaments. These are just some of the issues we will pursue further with the Minister of State.
