Wallström tells regional TV editors that EU must ‘go local' to bridge knowledge gap about Europe
(Press release from European Union - Committee of the Regions)

European Commission Vice-President Margot Wallström offered a sneak preview of her ‘Plan D' communication proposals when she met 50 regional TV chiefs at the Committee of the Regions today (11 October 2005) for a briefing held in the framework of the OPEN DAYS European Week of Regions and Cities.
The Communication Commissioner, who was welcomed to the Committee's headquarters by President Peter Straub, told the editors from the Circom association of regional public television stations that the EU must “go local” if it is to bridge the knowledge gap among citizens about “the thousand ways” in which Europe plays a positive impact in their daily lives.
She said her Plan D – short for “dialogue, debate and democracy” – recognised the role that regional TV can play in connecting with citizens, through programming which meets specific regional needs and interests. The Commission was keen to provide long-term, practical assistance to regional stations willing to include a European dimension in their coverage – even if this sometimes meant critical coverage.
