58. vyzývá Komisi, aby lépe hierarchicky třídila své partnery v oblasti komunikací a rozvíjela přednostní vztahy s partnery s nadnárodním významem, jako jsou organizace evropské občanské společnosti, která se právě strukturalizuje, evropské politické strany a novináři; zdůrazňuje, že je důležité sem začlenit komunikační prostředky určené mládeži s cílem posílit evropský občanský prostor;
Calls on the Commission to prioritise better its communication partnerships by pursuing special relationships with partners with a ‘transnational mission’, such as the organisations representing the emerging European civil society, European political parties and journalists; affirms the importance of including media aimed at young people, with a view to consolidating a European citizenship area;

Defining common principles
Defining common principles
The Commission has proposed to establish a code of conduct on communication, that is to say, to draw up common rules for the European institutions, national bodies, and so forth, thereby laying foundations on which to cement communication policies.

The rapporteur considers that this idea is not only fundamentally mistaken, but also undesirable to the extent that it would create a poor substitute for a genuine legal basis.

In point of fact the European institutions have no legal basis for Community reports given over specifically to information and communication.

As a result the Commission too often lays itself open to the charge of meddling in an area outside its responsibility or even of disseminating propaganda.

The best way to avoid this pitfall, however, is not to base a communication policy on a code of conduct, but to seek a unanimous decision of the Member States in the European Council, thereby affording a means, under Article 308 of the Treaty, to provide a legal basis in the full sense.

In addition, laying down rules of conduct to be observed by the EU institutions could lead to adverse consequences reducing the scope for independent and self-determining opinion.

The rapporteur does not, therefore, believe that Parliament should be subject to a code that would determine how it should communicate with European citizens.

Výbor pro občanské svobody, spravedlnost a vnitřní věci vyzývá Výbor pro kulturu a vzdělávání jako příslušný výbor, aby do svého návrhu usnesení začlenil tyto návrhy:
The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs calls on the Committee on Culture and Education, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution:
A. vzhledem k tomu, že by právo na informace a svobodu projevu mělo být v srdci evropské demokracie a oporou politických systémů na evropské i vnitrostátní úrovni, a že by proto co nejvíce informací mělo být zpřístupněno veřejnosti,
A. whereas the right to information and freedom of expression should be at the heart of democracy in Europe and underpin the political systems at European and national levels and thus, insofar as is possible, information should be made available to the public,
B. vzhledem k tomu, že účast na demokracii je základním kamenem politického procesu a měla by mít přímý dopad na vytváření politiky Unie,
B. whereas democratic participation is a cornerstone of the political process and should have a direct bearing on the Union's policy formulation,
C. vzhledem k tomu, že transparentnost a otevřenost jsou základními podmínkami komunikace, a že tato komunikace znamená dvoustranný dialog s evropskými občany, který je klíčovým prvkem demokracie, nezbytným pro rozvíjení veřejné diskuse,
C. whereas transparency and openness are preconditions for communication and such communication is a two-way dialogue with European citizens, which is an essential element of democracy and indispensable for fostering public debate,
D. vzhledem k tomu, že cílem „období reflexe“ je demokratizace a zefektivnění Unie a její „návrat“ k občanům,
D. whereas the aim of a 'period of reflection' is to make the Union more democratic and effective and to 'reconnect' it with the citizens,
E. upozorňuje na skutečnost, že evropské otázky a „přidaná hodnota“ legislativy Společenství jsou ve vnitrostátních diskusích jen zřídkakdy brány na vědomí, a že si vnitrostátní politici často přivlastňují zásluhy za evropské úspěchy, zatímco jim nedělá potíže EU kritizovat, a to mnohdy za politické chyby, které vznikly na vnitrostátní úrovni,
E. pointing out that European issues and the "added value" of Community legislation are rarely acknowledged during national debates, with national politicians often taking credit for European "success stories", while, conversely, national politicians are quick to criticise the EU, often for failures in policy which arise at national level,
F. upozorňuje na závěry předsednictví z konference předsedů parlamentů Evropské unie (konané ve dnech 6. a 7. května 2005) vyzývající národní parlamenty k pořádání každoročních diskusí, a to nejlépe během plenárního zasedání, o roční legislativě a pracovním programu Evropské komise,
F. drawing attention to the Presidency Conclusions of the Conference of the Speakers of European Union Parliaments (6 and 7 May 2005), which called upon the national parliaments to hold a debate, preferably in plenary session, each year on the annual legislative and work programme of the European Commission,
5. vybízí národní parlamenty, aby posílily svou kontrolní roli v souvislosti s jednáním svých vlád v Radě a zvýšily tak povědomí a také demokratickou odpovědnost orgánů EU;
Encourages the national parliaments to enhance the scrutiny role of their governments when they act at the Council, thus raising awareness and thereby the democratic accountability of the EU institutions;

4. zdůrazňuje, že je důležité svolávat meziparlamentní fóra o budoucnosti Evropy, přičemž jedno z nich proběhne při příležitosti 50. výročí Římských smluv; požaduje, aby byl v rámci evropské komunikační politiky brán ohled na diskuse na úrovni zástupců evropských národů;
Points to the importance of convening interparliamentary forums on the future of Europe, one of which will be meeting to mark the 50th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome; calls, as far as European communication policy is concerned, for the discussions among the representatives of the European people to be taken into account;
6. připomíná, že již Listina základních práv stanovila práva občanů na informace a že jakýkoli jiný případný nový nástroj bude muset respektovat výsady Parlamentu jako voleného shromáždění, zejména jeho pravomoci obracet se svobodně na občany celé Unie; žádá, aby jeho Výbor pro ústavní záležitosti analyzoval možnou povahu a obsah takového interinstitucionálního nástroje;
Stresses that the Charter of Fundamental Rights already lays down citizens' rights regarding information and that any new instrument should respect the prerogatives of Parliament as an elected assembly, in particular its power to freely address citizens from across the Union; calls for its Committee on Constitutional Affairs to examine the possible form and content of an interinstitutional instrument of this kind;
9. zdůrazňuje, že je nezbytné přizpůsobit strategie a obsah Bílé knihy diskusi probíhající v evropské společnosti i mezi jednotlivými členskými státy;
Points to the need to adapt and further the strategies and substantive areas set out in the White Paper, taking into account the ongoing debates in European society and among the Member States;
13. lituje, že současná informační politika neplní svůj účel a neoslovuje evropské občany; zdůrazňuje, že je třeba proto najít zcela nové cesty, zejména poskytnutím specifické novinářské nabídky pro televizní vysílání; je nakloněn myšlence podávání informací o Evropě po vzoru programů „Universum“;
Regrets that the present information policy is failing to serve its purpose and not reaching European citizens; maintains, therefore, that fundamentally new departures are needed, in particular in the form of specific journalistic coverage designed for television; supports, therefore, the idea of European news modelled on Universum programmes;
19. zdůrazňuje význam Ústavy pro Evropu, která by dala Unii političtější a demokratičtější podobu a zvýšila její atraktivitu v očích občanů; připomíná politickou odpovědnost Evropského parlamentu, Rady a Komise za podporu tohoto procesu.
Points to the importance of a Constitution for Europe to make the Union more political and democratic and capable of attracting citizens; points out that Parliament, the Council, and the Commission have a political responsibility to support this process.

B. whereas opinion polls over the last 10 years have shown a consistently high level of approval as it has emerged that more than 60% of EU citizens are in favour of a common European Union foreign policy and more than 70% are in favour of a common European Union defence policy; whereas, moreover, other polls show that there is no support for increasing military expenditure,
C. vzhledem k tomu, že jsou bezpečnost a boj proti mezinárodnímu terorismu považovány za priority EU; v rámci EBOP je nezbytná společná reakce a společná strategie,
