WRITTEN QUESTION P-2000/98

by Irini Lambraki (PSE) to the Commission

(16 June 1998)

Subject: Amsterdam Treaty information campaign

The Amsterdam Treaty is at the stage of being ratified by the Member States. Does the Commission intend to conduct an information campaign on the significance of the Treaty and, if so, what amounts does it plan to make available to each Member State and what mechanisms will it use to administer those funds in each Member State?

Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission

(31 July 1998)

As part of the Priority Information Programme for European Citizens (Prince), the Commission is continuing the "Building Europe together" campaign in 1998. The aim is to make it easier to explain the Amsterdam Treaty to European citizens. This campaign was allocated appropriations totalling ECU 12 million for 1998. A call for proposals was published in the Official Journal(1), and Member States who so wish were given the opportunity to enter into agreements to cofinance communication schemes with the Commission to explain the Amsterdam Treaty to European citizens.
