- (DE) Monsieur le Président, on parle beaucoup en ce moment du besoin d’expliquer les bienfaits de l’Europe aux citoyens, et cette directive a la capacité de devenir un remarquable exemple, même si le débat de la séance plénière d’aujourd’hui démontre encore clairement qu’elle a un côté technique qui n’est pas toujours particulièrement attirant.
– (DE) Mr President, a lot is being said at the present time about the need to explain Europe’s benefits to the public, and this directive has the potential to become a shining example of one, even though today’s plenary debate is again making it clear that it has a technical side that is not always particularly sexy, so we certainly have to make the effort to make its benefits plain in such a way that the public understands what they are.
