"Vi skal forklare befolkningen, hvordan vi når til enighed med hinanden.
"What happens in plenary is the result of hours of committee debates", he said.
Det kunne gøre det hele mere attraktivt".
"If we explain to people how we arrive at consensus it could be more attractive".
Han tilføjede, at de mange euroskeptiske MEP`er afspejlede behovet for at nå ud med klare og forståelige budskaber.
"In October we will try to modify our way of operating, for example trying to make the operation of Parliament livelier, more interesting for citizens" he went on to tell the press.
"Vi er nødt til at være i tættere kontakt med befolkningen".
We must reach out to people more.
Buzek understregede, at Rusland er et meget vigtigt naboland, og at "EU har brug for Rusland, og Rusland har brug for EU."
He was asked by a French journalist about relations with Russia, as "Poland is most familiar with Russia".
Men han tilføjede, at "russisk demokrati" og "russisk økonomi" på centrale områder adskiller sig fra den europæiske forståelse af demokrati og økonomi.
Mr Buzek was adamant: "Relations between EU and Russia are very important, we are dealing with the same continent and its neighbourhood., The EU needs Russia and Russia needs the EU."
Han opfordrede til, at man fra europæisk side holder sig bevidst om forskellene mellem EU og Rusland, særligt når det kommer til "menneskerettigheder og borgerlige frihedsrettigheder".
But he also emphasised differences of outlook: Russian democracy - they claim their system is democratic - differs from ours.
Buzek mente, at ratificeringen af Lissabon-traktaten er meget vigtig forudsætning for fremdriften i det europæiske samarbejde.
Finally he warned that "we must be aware of our differences, especially on human and civil rights- we cannot forget about this".
"Denne traktat bør gennemføres så hurtigt som muligt.
Lisbon treaty "as soon as possible"
Lissabon-traktaten er et utroligt vigtigt instrument for vores arbejde", sagde han.
Asked by a Polish TV journalist about his pro-Lisbon message to MEPs the former Prime Minister said: "This treaty should be implemented as soon as possible.
Angående perspektiverne for fremtidige EU-udvidelser mente Buzek, at alle kriterier "skal defineres og overholdes".
Pressed on his views on EU enlargement he said that the "criteria must be defined and adhered to.
Han svarede med henvisning til massakren på Den Himmelske Freds Plads i 1989 - "I 1989 oplevede vi forskellen mellem Europa og din del af verden.
Referring to Tiananmen Square, he said "In 1989 we saw the difference between Europe and your part of the world.
Vi må aldrig glemme den menneskelige dimension, for det er selve grundlaget for EU og for Europa."
We can never forget the human dimension; this is the foundation of the EU and Europe".

Det tjekkiske formandskab takker af
Balance of the Czech presidency
Tjekkiets premierminister under afskedstalen til Parlamentet Tjekkiet gav den 1. juli formandsstafetten videre til Sverige.
Czech PM Jan Fischer closes the Czech presidency of the Union with a speech in the hemicycle.
Den tjekkiske premierminister Jan Fischer sagde under præsentationen af det udgående formandskabs konklusioner, at Tjekkiet selv havde bidraget til flere af de problemer, de stod over for i formandsperioden, men at man også havde mødt flere uforudsete problemer.
Strasbourg, 15 July Caretaker Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer gave the European Parliament Wednesday an overview of his country's Presidency of the EU that came to an end last month.
Tjekkiet er blot det andet land fra Central - og Østeuropa (udover Slovenien), der har prøvet at side i EU-formandsstolen.
He conceded that the collapse of the government half way through the six month term had hit the Presidency hard.
Jan Fischer fortalte i sin afskedstale til Parlamentet om Tjekkiets succes'er under formandskabsperioden, men han mente også, at der var punkter, hvor de kunne have gjort det bedre.
However, he praised the "Three E Programme" - Economics, Energy and EU in the world - which the Czechs had initiated.
Flere af problemerne var forventelige "såsom forsættelsen af den økonomiske krise og nødvendigheden for en reform af EU.
The Czechs had to deal with a gas crisis at the start of January between Russia and Ukraine which threatened supplies to Europe.
Andre havde vi ikke forventet: Gaza og krisen med gasforsyningerne fra Rusland."
They also had to deal with the conflict in the Gaza strip early in their term.
Fischer mente dog også, at Tjekkiet selv havde bidraget til flere af problemerne.
Mr Fischer also told the House that the worsening of the economic and financial crisis affecting Europe had weakened the Presidency.
Han henviste til, at regeringen med Mirek Topolánek i spidsen gik af i maj, efter den havde tabt et mistillidsvotum i marts måned.
For reaction from MEPs on the Czech Presidency see the first link below.
Til trods herfor mente han, at det var lykkedes at bringe formandskabet videre uden de store forstyrrelser, da man havde arbejdet "loyalt og energisk".
Despite the challenges he was insistent that the balance of the Czech tenure at the held of the EU would be judged positive.
På den kulturelle front, vil det tjekkiske formandskab utvivlsomt blive husket for sin kontroversielle kunstinstallation "Entropa" i Ministerrådets Justus Lipsius-bygning i Bruxelles.
He said many of the issues will now be followed up by the Swedish presidency, especially in view of the ratification process of the Lisbon treaty.
Installationen portrætterer de 27 EU-medlemsstater på en humoristisk og provokerende måde.
On the cultural front, the Czech presidency will be certainly remembered for its controversial art installation "Entropa" in the Council of Ministers building in Brussels, portraying the 27 EU Member States in a humorous and provocative way.

Entropa can now be seen on permanent exhibit in Prague.

MEP'erne siger nej til vold i Iran, Kina og Honduras
MEPs say no to violence in Iran, China and Honduras
Etniske stridigheder har præget de seneste par uger i det nordvestlige Kina Fordømmelsen af vold og brud på menneskerettigheder var den røde tråd i de tre debatter, som Europa-Parlamentet afholdte onsdag eftermiddag.
An ethnic Uighur man passes by security forces standing guard outside the Grand Bazaar in Urumqi, Xinjiang province, China, 16 July 2009. ©BELGA/EPA/DIEGO AZUBE Condemnation of violence was the common thread across three debates the EP held Wednesday afternoon.
Begivenhederne i Iran fangede for nylig Verdens opmærksomhed, da tusindvis af unge iranske demonstranter gik på gaderne for at give udtryk for deres utilfredshed med den påståede valgsvindel i forbindelse med præsidentvalget.
Events in Iran recently grabbed the world's attention, as violence broke out following the disputed outcome of presidential elections.
Belgiske Annemie Neyts-Uyttenbroeck (ALDE) sagde: "Alle folk i verden, herunder befolkningen i Iran, skal have ret til at vælge deres egne ledere og udskifte dem, når de ikke leverer varen."
- called on Iranian authorities to stop the violence and start dialogue
Franskmanden Daniel Cohn-Bendit fra den grønne gruppe kritiserede en række europæiske virksomheder, der efter hans mening indirekte bidrog til undertrykkelsen ved at levere teknologi og know-how til det iranske styre.
Speaking in the Chamber British Labour Member Richard Howitt said: "Whatever people feel about the outcome of the Iranian elections, there is no doubt that hundreds have been injured, tens of people have been killed in the protests and thousands of people appear to have been detained as political prisoners."
Han opfordrede Kommissionen og Ministerrådet til at analysere europæiske virksomheders rolle og forhold til det iranske styre.
Annemie Neyts-Uyttenbroeck , a Liberal Belgian Member said: "All the people of the world including the people of Iran have to have the right to elect their own leaders and to replace them when they are no longer fit for purpose."
Britiske Richard Howitt (S&D) mente, at uanset om der var tale om valgsvindel eller ej, var det et faktum, at flere demonstranter var blevet dræbt, hundredvis såret og tusindvis tilbageholdt som politiske fanger.
Daniel Cohn-Bendit of the Greens/EFA called on the Commission and the Council to analyse what he considered the participation and responsibilities of some EU companies in the repression as they provide technology which could be misused by regime against protesters.
Kina De første uger af juli har været præget af vold og uroligheder i det nordvestlige Kina mellem det muslimske mindretal uighurerne og etniske kinesere.
The beginning of July saw ethnic violence in North-West China, pitching the predominantly Muslim Uyghur minority against Han Chinese who are the largest ethnic group in China, and massive intervention by the Chinese authorities to control the situation.
Kina anklager separatistgrupper for volden, mens eksiluighurer siger, at Beijings undertrykkelse er årsag til uroen.
Elmar Brok for the centre right EPP group: "If you don't reach agreement with the moderates then ever greater numbers of young radicals, who do not want to wait anymore, take over."
Et stort flertal af MEP´erne fordømte volden og opfordrede de kinesiske myndigheder til at beskytte deres mindretal, men nogle advarede også mod faren ved separatisme.
For the Socialists and Democrats, Romanian Member Adrian Severin said "minority rights...could not excuse separatist policies".
Rumænske Adrian Severin (S&D) mente på den anden side ikke, at mindretalsrettigheder skal være en undskyldning for voldelige separatistiskbevægelser.
The Central American country of Honduras went into crisis as the military expelled the elected President Zelaya to Costa Rica following his attempt to organise a plebiscite to amend the constitution.
Honduras Det mellemamerikanske land Honduras røg for nylig ud i en krise, efter at landets militær afsatte den demokratisk valgte præsident Manuel Zelaya.
Speakers in the debate called for the restoration of the elected president and supported mediation efforts by Organisation of American States and Costa Rican president Óscar Arias - a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
MEP´erne fordømte militærkuppet og var generelt enige om, at EU burde lægge pres på det nye styre og arbejde for genindsættelsen af Zelaya på præsidentposten.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon of the leftist GUE/NGL group said: "Our pacifist principles should not mean that we give impression turning a blind eye to coup."
Spanske José Ignacio Salafranca (EPP) mente, at EU burde sende en observationsdelegation til Honduras.
José Ignacio Salafranca , Spanish Member of the EPP remarked that "it is absolutely necessary for us to send an EU observation mission for elections in Honduras".

Buzek ny formand for Europa-Parlamentet
Jerzy Buzek elected President of the European Parliament
Polakken skal nu være Parlamentets formand de næste to et halvt år.
The 69-year-old Polish MEP will lead the European Parliament for two and a half years (until January 2012).
Den tidligere formand, Hans-Gert PÖTTERING åbnede samlingen, før han gav ordet til kandidaterne.
Jerzy Buzek (EPP, Poland) replaces the outgoing President Hans-Gert Pöttering (EPP, Germany).
Taler fra kandidaterne inden afstemningen
Enormous challenge and a great honour
Eva-Britt SVENSSON fra Gruppen for Europæisk Frihed og Demokrati hæftede sig ved vigtigheden af borgerinddragelse.
Once his ambition had been to be a member of parliament in a free Poland, but now he was President of the European Parliament.
"Vi skal oprette et medborgernes Europa."
He saw this as "a measure of how Europe can change".
Det kræver åbenhed og offentlighed.
"There is now no 'you' and 'us': we live in a shared Europe", he said.
Det kræver en åben debat og det er derfor utrolig vigtigt, at vi sørger for at få reformer igennem."
Looking ahead to the challenges facing the EU, such as unemployment, energy security and climate change, Mr Buzek stressed that "we first need the Lisbon Treaty so that the Union can be well-organised and effective".
Jerzy Buzek fra den konservative gruppe mente, at ratificeringen af Lissabontraktaten er nødvendig for at få succes.
He concluded by paying tribute to his predecessor as EP President, Mr Pöttering.
"Lissabontraktaten er et utroligt vigtigt, et unikt instrument i vores arbejde.
Mr Buzek will give a more detailed description of the work programme he intends to pursue over the next two and a half years during the 14-17 September plenary session in Strasbourg.
Det vigtigste stykke arbejde vi står over for er styringen af krisen.
Full result of the vote for the President of the European Parliament
Buzek sagde desuden, at han var stolt over, at en repræsentant fra Mellem- og Østeuropa er blevet valgt.
Co-founder of Polish-German Science Network for Energy and Environment Protection INCREASE in 1997.
Formandens pligter og beføjelser
He faced a difficult time, with the Lisbon Treaty and the economic crisis.
Formanden er ordfører ved Parlamentets plenarsamlinger, formandskonferencen og præsidiet (som udgør formanden og de 14 næstformænd og kvæstorerne i en rådgivende funktion).
Speaking on behalf of the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group, Nigel Farage (UK) congratulated Mr Buzek, but condemned the process of electing the new President of the European Parliament as a "stitch-up" between the main parties.
Formanden taler desuden for regeringscheferne ved Det Europæiske Råds møder, ligesom han repræsenterer Parlamentet i dets internationale relationer, hvorfor han også foretager officielle besøg indenfor og udenfor EU.
He expressed his frustration that the Parliament, by utilising the European anthem and EU flag, is "pushing ahead with all the symbols of statehood", despite the continuing opposition to the Treaty of Lisbon.

Det tjekkiske formandskab går af
MEPs look back at the Czech presidency of the EU: "the three Es"
Tjekkiet gav 1. juli stafetten videre til Sverige.
Mr Fischer then turned to the Czech Presidency's three priority areas.
Jan Fischer talte om Tjekkiets succes'er under formandskabsperioden men mente også, der var punkter, hvor de kunne have gjort det bedre.
Lastly, on the EU's external policy, Mr Fischer said that while in the gas crisis the EU was successful thanks to its unity, the Gaza crisis had been more problematic.
Der var flere af problemerne Tjekkiet havde forventet "såsom forsættelsen af den økonomiske krise og nødvendigheden for en reform af EU.
He went on to praise the Presidency for not "falling into the trap of protectionism" and ensuring that the economic crisis was not used to promote national approaches; "distortion of competition, fragmentation, and national preferences, that won't lead us out of the crisis, but it will lead us down a dead end."
Andre havde vi ikke forventet: Gaza og krisen med gasforsyning fra Rusland."
He spoke out in support of the Prime Minister, as "a man who acts with deliberation.
Tjekkiet bidrog selv til problemerne idet han henviste til, at regeringen med Mirek Topolánek i spidsen gik af i maj, efter den havde tabt et mistillidsvotum i marts måned.
In his view, the highlight of the last six months had been the visit to the European Parliament of President Vaclav Klaus, who had told MEPs "a few home truths".
Resultater inden for udenrigspolitik, krisen og energi
We need, she said, a new treaty for a new modern time.
På andre konkrete områder pegede han på den udenrigspolitiske krisehåndtering og EU's rolle som global spiller med det europæiske sammenhold i Gaza og energikrisen i Rusland, bekæmpelsen af den økonomiske krise med en forbedring af tilsynet med finansverdenen og nedsættelsen af visse momssatser samt energisituationen, hvor man har taget skridt for at forbedre energieffektiviteten.
This, she said, should be a good enough reason for the rest of us to vote ‘yes’ to the Lisbon Treaty and for Irish voters, who will be making up their own minds on 2 October, to listen to the voices who are urging them to vote ‘no’ and to listen very carefully to judge what they stand for, and then to listen to the voices of reason and reflect on the fact that the European Union has been very good for Ireland and Ireland good for it, and that we will continue to remain at the heart of Europe by supporting this Treaty.
Nyt svensk formandskab: Klimakrise, økonomisk krise og Lissabontraktaten
Sweden's presidency of the EU: climate change, economic crisis, Lisbon Treaty
Reinfeldt startede med at udrede for Sveriges historiske forhold til Europa, hvordan Sverige ikke deltog i 2. verdenskrig, der var med til at forårsage det europæiske samarbejde, da man søgte fred på kontinentet.
First, however, he spoke of his own country's general attitude to the EU, saying "the realisation of Sweden's closeness and dependence on Europe developed slowly".
Fra midtfirserne er Sverige gået fra at stå udenfor samarbejdet til at være i centrum for samarbejdet og han erklærede " Vi vågnede sent, men vi har arbejdet flittigt for at indhente det forsømte."
For a long time Sweden had preferred to "contemplate it from a distance" but now "we are no longer afraid" and indeed the majority of the Swedish population has shifted to a positive view of EU membership.
Klimabekæmpelse øverst på dagsordenen
And "we improve our energy security".
Den svenske statsminister mente, klimakrisen på lang sigt er den største udfordring.
On the economy, the Swedish Prime Minister said "coordinated EU action is the best tool we have".
"Kun en voldsom indsats kan forhindre en stigning i vandstanden med 2 meter", og sagde, at en stigning på bare 1 meter vil betyde, at 100 mio. mennesker alene i Asien bliver nødt til at flytte.
The EU had already shown "leadership" but further measures must be discussed in the autumn.
Til trods for dette er der også gode nyheder: "selvom vi ikke har så meget tid, er det fortsat muligt.
Above all "we must not forget that there are people behind the figures", who were worried about their jobs.
I dag har vi alle muligheder for at udvikle bæredygtig energi."
He listed three main areas for action.
