Row erupts over EU website plans

THE launch of a debate on how the EU could best communicate with citizens turned into a debacle yesterday with a row over what the commissioner meant to say.

Commissioner Margot Wallstrom’s plan proposes five areas where Brussels and member states should work together to raise awareness about the EU.

“The EU has grown up as a political project but has not found a place in people’s hearts and minds,” she told a press conference.
