Introduction

The Centre for European Studies’ tellbarroso.eu survey was an innovative web-
based platform which invited European citizens to participate in the political
decision-formation process. This pioneer initiative was personally endorsed by
José Manuel Durão Barroso. It was the latest in a line of initiatives by the Centre
for European Studies (CES), the official think thank of the European People’s
Party, aimed at bringing policy-making to the citizens by stimulating debate from
the ground-up, proposing new ideas and providing a base for centre right political
research.

TellBarroso.eu sought to engage European citizens with the question: “What areas
affecting your daily life should the EU focus its energies on?” Participants named
and discussed issues which really matter to them. Subsequently, participants were
given the opportunity to see what issues other participants had specified thus
enabling them to evaluate these issues according to their own priorities. Lastly, the
survey allowed the participants to add further issues triggered in their minds by the
exercise. The data is particularly valuable as it highlighted both individuals’ queries
and group queries in quantifiable cross-sections of society.

Participants were able to read and evaluate each others' proposals

5

The Tell Barroso Facebook group has already more than 1000 members

By stimulating extensive interest on numerous website and media , CES achieved
both staggering participation as well as stimulating side discussions on the
wider web. The format used for tellBarroso.eu encouraged wider debate in the
blogosphere, as well as within online social communities, proving that Europeans
do believe in the EU project and are willing to engage if presented with the proper
approach and are given the right tools.

The outcome of the web survey is presented in this report. Participation was high.
With 150,260 participants, 11,529 proposals, 119,503 proposal evaluations and
557,438 proposal views European citizens spoke to Mr. Barroso. One canny,
anonymous participant stated:

“I have the strong feeling that young people do not know much about
Europe. There is a huge gap between the EU institutions and its citizens,
even in Brussels where I live! EU is sexy and it must be said, there is a
need for more events close to the citizens. This initiative is a good start!”
– An anonymous participant praised the tellBarroso.eu Project.

On 12th May 2009 ten participants of the web survey, who were selected at
random, were invited to come to Brussels to present and discuss the findings with
Mr. Barroso.

Tellbarroso.eu has provided excellent feedback. It is hoped that this platform will
inaugurate a series of new initiatives led by CES, bridging the gap between EU
politics and European citizens.

Summary
Participants made more than 11 000 proposals about how the European Union
could improve their lives and evaluated the importance of each others' proposals
over 110 000 times. Individual proposals were classified into 14 main themes.

The following bubble graph represents a three dimensional summary of the
results. The larger the bubble, the more proposals relate to the theme. The higher
the bubble, the more important the participants have ranked the proposals related
to them, and the more to the right it is located, the more disagreement about the
proposals’ importance there has been.
+
Importance
–

– Disagreement +

Participants made most proposals about economy, work and environment. Energy,
environment and education were considered the most important themes. Migration and
immigration were not much referred to and were considered the least relevant of the 14
themes, but their importance caused most disagreement between the participants.

The following bar graph is a two-dimensional representation of the amount of
proposals made and of how important participants averagely considered the
proposals.

It is significant that the amounts of proposals made does not directly correlate with the
evaluations of importance. Participants made most proposals about economy and work,
but evaluated proposals related to energy, environment, education and social and health
services as more important than the most discussed themes.

Economy and work
1. Unemployment (importance: 99%, disagreement: 0, evaluations: 1)
EU is one of the richest organisations in the whole world and still finding a job is a hard thing.EU should spare
more money and effort on that instead of financing foreign states that may be EU-members in the future.
2. Employment, social security, barriers to the 4 freedoms (importance: 96%, disagreement: 6,
evaluations: 3)
I consider that the EU has to improve the way the Member States react to the mobility of other Member States'
citizens. Legal and administartive procedures are not to be eliminated or limited but banned. A coordination
(real one) in terms of emplyment and social security is compulsory if we want the people able to move in
Europe which will be vital for the cohesion of the European population.
3. employment, health, environment education justice solidarity (importance: 96%, disagreement: 3,
evaluations: 2)
The creation of the right climate that generates jobs for all sectors of society. More funding of research into
diseases and health conditions and the provision of reasonably priced medicine to all consumers - making
expensive medication for serious illness accessable to all. Safeguarding all environments - they should be
common heritage to one united Europe. Commission should ensure that environmental measure are being
implemented in all Member States. Education accessible to all. The Media should reflect reality without
manipulatint it for sensationalism. Equal Justice for all and sundry. Why, for instance, have all the CEOs
who have squandered the money of their clients not been properly penalised? Why should they enjoy the
revenues they accumulated out of the bad deals they made with people who trusted their savings with them.
They should be stripped of all their Property not re-instated into financial institutions. Finally real solidarity with
countries like mine, which are carrying the all the burden of illegal immigration. After all if European Media
did not portray such a fairytale picture of Europe - making it out to be a paradise on earth - these immigrants
would not want to leave their land to reach the continent. They are only forced to stop on Malta when they
encounter difficulties - which is all the time. Show them the real picture of Europe - not just it's successes - not
just its successful people - but also the thousands that live on the streets.
4. mobility, security, economy (importance: 96%, disagreement: 3, evaluations: 4)
Eu should consdier
5. Employment (importance: 94%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 3)
In this difficult moment there is the risk that many students will come out from different institutes and even
high-level universities without the chance to see the results of years of efforts.
6. economy,ecology, education, (importance: 94%, disagreement: 6, evaluations: 6)
7. Employment (importance: 93%, disagreement: 5, evaluations: 9) Employer do not respect and do not obey
to law for employment, but due to fear of losing job, employees can't do anything and are left to deal with this
issue by themselfs. There are very slim chances to find decent part time job for student. Actually, not decent,
any part time job.
8. education, employment, health, sustainable developement (importance: 93%, disagreement: 6,
evaluations: 2)
9. Education and innovation (importance: 92%, disagreement: 7, evaluations: 7)
Europe's future is the brains of its people. Only well educated people can provide us with the innovations
needed to keep or improve our economic and social situation, and to make Europe stay competitive in a
globalised world.

10

10. Education, Health, Enviroment, Transportation, Economy (importance: 92%, disagreement: 3,
evaluations: 3)
Education : More funds, better electronic equipment, improved facilities for sports and art education
Health: More Hospitals, especially Emergency Rooms, better equipment and more research for cancer,
aids Enviroment : European Union immediately start using clean energy from new technologies like
geothermal,wind and solar.Start making huge fines to the countries that dont comply with new enviromental
rules and the use of clean energy technology, so that big energy companies should be forced to change their
polluting policy. Transportation: Finance the transition of gasoline-vehicles to electric or other technology that
dont pollute the enviroment. Make use of the Maglev technology trains in the EU.Mass transportation is never
enough. We need more subway routes and more natural gas busses and better roads (especially in Greece!)
Economy: Unemployment and low fees are the worst problem in my country. Prices and inflation too. Young
people and elder people in pension, can't make a living with a goverment that supports more the corporations
and rich people than the poor.Eu should make more social care policy for the majority of its citizens that are
below income standards.
11. Employment, Climate Change, BiodivQuality of Live, Education (importance: 92%, disagreement: 9,
evaluations: 11)
Employment as diverse orportunities that values the individual and its creativity; that isn't based in
multinationals and globalization but rather values the identity & culture. Climate change should really be a
bigger priority, as all the ballance of life (already fragilised by over-exploitation and area degradation) depends
on it. Chance to move to a greener economy, in terms of energy, life-style and resources (reducing the imapcts
of our actions).
12. Economic Crisis. (importance: 91%, disagreement: 3, evaluations: 2)
1.What the European Commission did to prevent it? 2.What kind of regulation regarding the Banking system
has put in place? 3.Please inform me of the documents that the EU commission has issue to warn member
states, or to guide them against risky banking practices PRIOR TO THE CRISIS?
13. Job (importance: 91%, disagreement: 7, evaluations: 2)
Every eu citizen need a job
14. Economical and financial problems. Environment (importance: 91%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 7)
The economical and financial problems hit all Europeans and I think only strong cooperation between EU-
members can make a difference. The use of green energy and a focus to the environment may be a way to
create new jobs and a new important sector.
15. Security both economic, social and national. (importance: 90%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 3)
16. open thw world market on a real fair base- not only EU (importance: 90%, disagreement: 9,
evaluations: 3)
we see what comes out if money rule the world. stop the huge companies! force makro credits give the whole
world a change- the ballance must be right
17. jobs (importance: 90%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 10)
18. provide a vision for Europe, education, economy (importance: 90%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 4)
Unless we share a common Vision for Europe, we'll never be a real Union. What is the purpose, the reason
of the existence of EU, what Europe will look like when the purpose is fulfilled? What will be different and how
different. If the EU is to become, it should have a culture with a shared core and visible boundaries. Between
the two, the core and the boundaries, individual nations should have room to live their heritage culture.
This requires educated people, adults who understand that life is about serving and not being served. The
economy is on fire now, so we've better extinguish it to ensure we have a future worth living.
19. Ethical business (importance: 90%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 12)
Laws need to put people, not profit first.
20. encouraging science and innovation (importance: 90%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 14)
It is critical that Europe creates more employment opportunities by pushing for a true knowledge and bio-
based economy. But all funding for research should lead to development of new products - this is the only
way for Europe to keep dsome competitive advantage over Asia and keep jobs in Europe. Use of bio-fuels,
agriculture biotechnology (GMO's) and industrial biotechnology are very clear and concrete exemples that
should be strongly backed by European commission that should pay much less attention to the minority of
anti's biotech groups who don't bring anything positive to Europe, only critics...
21. EU wide energy markets (importance: 90%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 8)
The EU should link up the gas grids of member states to allow a gas market to develop, to harmonise gas
prices for the consumer and make individual countries less dependent on a single source.

11

22. increase of salaries for a balance in the EU (importance: 90%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 10)
23. economic crisis (importance: 90%, disagreement: 7, evaluations: 4)
24. economy (importance: 90%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 2)
25. Job Market (importance: 90%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 14)
The need for labour market mobility increases as the economy shrinks, it must be preserved it is dangerous to
let Member States begin placeing restrictions on the Labour Market.
26. employment probem of the new graduates (importance: 89%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 14)
Young people newly graduated from universities or professional high schools start a life unemployed or
employed with lower salaries than deserved. They are not preferred since they have a very limited working
experience and job opportunities are too far from being enough anyway. There should be some incentives for
employers to recruit young people apart from the cheap labour force. This is an exploitation of the youth, and I
think, a violation of human rights.
27. more chances for job (importance: 89%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 5)
28. Appropriate technology transfer for developing countries (importance: 89%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 7)
Solar cookers, GSMs and mobile Internet via satellite, water purification systems, etc.
29. economical situation (importance: 89%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 13)
crisis must be won with joint efforts
30. Student benefits. Unemployment. Public transport. (importance: 89%, disagreement: 16, evaluations:
3)
Student do not get proper benefits, if a student wants really to focus on studies, the grants should be at least
triple than they are now. No student can manage with everyday life (food, transport, clothing) without going to
work besides studies. That influences the results of studying badly. As here the economical situation is pretty
bad. There are awful lots of people without job. Public transport is always crowded by old people. Those who
bought the ticket cannot sit anywhere. Maybe some other way of transport should be given them.
31. Economy, healthcare, culture, education. (importance: 89%, disagreement: 4, evaluations: 6)
Jobs, increased gross income (less money from me to energy, rent, paying debts etc.), better healthcare as in
sensible treatment, listening to the patient, modern healthcare from the top to the bottom, more cultural events
ranging from local interests to pan-european events. Giving the universities better ways of introducing their
intellectual wealth.
32. Economy (importance: 89%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 11)
Creating new companies, under the purposes of the EU, would be a goot idea of giving the ability to many EU
citizens to get a job. These companies could be all about financial aid, hospitals, schools, college facilities and
so on
33. education,health,economy,enviromment,energy (importance: 89%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 11)
regenerate of education and health.Organize economy,save enviromment,find new sources for the energy
problem.In my country nothing of all that are in the priorities of the goverment and i never heard serious
suggestions.I hope EU press the govermment for all that.
34. unemployment (importance: 89%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 3)
35. More democracy in business (importance: 89%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 3)
- People are disengaging from the market economy; to get them engaged, we need new possibilities for
more people to engage with the markets, and not only as customers; - We need a European Framework for
enterprises run in a different way, which allows more people to engage, e.g. cooperatives, co-determiniation,
foundation enterprises, enterprises run not for profit, public or semi-public enterprises, enterprises run by
consumers or unions, churches, etc.

37. The EU should be an economic cooperation. (importance: 89%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 7)
The EU should be an economic cooperation, not a political entity. Well, at least not to the inside, perhaps to
the outer world. But the EU having the power to force all kinds of laws on its members is antidemocratic. The
power moves away from the people to a level where we live in a Europe where for example Fins, Austrians
and Portugese have more to say about how things should happen in for example Belgium, Ireland or Italy.
Europe never was and never will be a single entity, Europe is diverse, a diversity we should cherish. A EU with
too much political power leads to a Europe where people can't live in the way they desire themselves. That
Europeans vote no on the so-called EU-bill is not per se a message they don't agree with it but a clear signal
that they don't want the EU as their supreme government. Most people don't even care about the European
elections anyways, most of the time they will just vote for the same parties they vote for in any other elections.
The growing power of the EU government will only cause more unrest and opposition against the EU and will
result in a rise of extreme right nationalist and populist parties because the current establishment fails these
people. In the old member states support for the EU is falling freely in all corners of society. The EU should be
reduced to an economic board and a gathering of national leaders and political figures to discuss certain items
but the EU should hold no real power whatsoever. Don't go where Hitler went.
38. Economy, corruption, equality, unity. (importance: 89%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 4)
E.U. is a union and as such it should work in order to achieve unity among its members. I think that unity can
be achieved under a state of same obligations and same rights. I don't believe that E.U. should "give away"
privilleges to the weak (because that would be unfair for the stronger counterparts). Perhaps giving a chance
to the ones that deserve them ragardless the nationality (that is the key-word). Deal with your citizens directly.
39. Jobs (importance: 88%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 19)
People need work.
The numbers are not saying always the truth. It is good to have "happy" numbers but i better to have happy
citizens
42. education, health, economy, enviroment, energy (importance: 88%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 9)
43. Environment / climate change / economic refunding plan (importance: 88%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 10)
I think the only way to save the planet and our economic system is to create a green revolution. This change
funded on technology innovation, sustainability, and massive public expenses can only be made at the EU
scale to be effective.
44. Status in Research and Development of innovative products (importance: 88%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 7)
EU should invest more funds in Research and Development, especially in the fields of Nanotechnology,
Polymer Science and Green Chemistry.
45. Improve the support for european research. (importance: 88%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 15)
Create more research programs that bring together the best of european academia and industry to help in
developing the cientific output generated every year, both in terms of quantities, but also quality.
46. highly educated, still unemployed (importance: 88%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 9)
i am a 25 year old dutch male with a turkish background. i am highly educated (university AND masters
degree). i still cannot get a job anywhere... from the european commission to the private sector, i am
constantly rejected... this is very tiresome!
47. Common market (importance: 88%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 20)
Common market is working, but as not well as it should! Europe should focus on that.

13

48. UNEMPLOYMENT,FINANCIAL CRISIS,ENVIRONMENT,INTER-EU EMPLOYMEN (importance: 88%,
disagreement: 19, evaluations: 13)
THOUGH SEEMINGLY THE INTER-EUROPEAN BORDERS SEEM TO HAVE FALLEN YEARS AGO,
THERE STILL SEEMS TO EXIST SERIOUS BARRIERS AS REGARDS TO THE FREE MOVEMENT OF
HUMANS, IN TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT. THERE IS LITTLE POSSIBILITY FOR A GREEK PROFESSIONAL
HAVING COMPLETED HIS STUDIES IN HIS HOME COUNTRY TO WORK IN GRAIT BRITAIN FOR
INSTANCE. COMPANIES WILL PREFER SOMEONE WHO HAS COMPLETED HIS STUDIES AT THE
"DESTINATION COUNTRY". FOR WHICH FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT WE SPEAK? I RUN INTO A
NEWSPAPER ARTICLE RECENTLY WHICH MENTIONED DATA ABOUT THE EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS'
DELEGATES SALARIES. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THESE PROFESSIONAL MUST FORM THE "ELITE"
AND MUST BE REWARDED ACCORDINGLY? BUT HAVE YOU REALIZED THAT WHOLE EUROPE
IS A "BOLING CALDRON"? I BELIEVE EVERYBODY AT THIS DIFFICULT STAGE FOR THE WHOLE
WORLD, MUST DEMONSTRATE THE PROPER REASONABLENESS AND ESPECIALLY NOT TO BE
EVOCABLE. REMEMBER: ALL SEVERE REVOLUTIONS IN HISTORY WERE INITIATED BY SIMILAR
CRISIS. LET US NOT BE SUPPRESSIVE BUT PRECAUTIONARY. LET EUROPE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
FOR A CHANGE!! LAST BUT NOT LEAST. WE EUROPEAN CITIZENS DEPEND LARGELY ON YOUR
MEASURES TO GET OVER THIS CRISIS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IF ONE FALLS, EVERYBODY
FALLS. OTHERWISE, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "EUROPEAN UNION" KIND REGARDS, DIMITRA
PANAGOPOULOU
49. Secundary knowledge structure for a participative economy (importance: 88%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 6)
The primary knowledge structure: universities, government and corporate think tanks are not enough and
don't promote bottom-up activities. Using the power of the Internet, local communities can organize in
telecommunities and peace houses - ref. http://www.telecommunity.info with a combination of white collar
jobs and jobs for eco-farmers, lowly skilled people. In these telecommunity centers (or Peace Houses) people
obtain informal training, get support and can network in enriching ways.
50. health care, employment, education, security and justice (importance: 87%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 7)
It is not common sence that the words: health, employment, education, security and justice automatically are
turned into reallity when spoken in some countries. Some of them are a part of the EU. I come to wonder why
there has been an agency, which would send its employees to live in the "problematic" countries in order to
assemble a report of what is trully going on to those countries. Local politicians have their way in turning facts
and numbers in order to present to the EU a differen reality than the one the citizents in those countries have
to deal with. It is your duty as EU officials and it is our complain as mistreated EU citizents to put an end to the
street-wise politicians of some countries, who are misusing the EU money and are joking at the expense of the
habitants in their.
51. ECONOMY, ENERGY, SECURITY (importance: 87%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 10)
52. good education, proper work, stable economic situation (importance: 87%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 10)
I think that in the times of the inancial crisis it is extremely important to have people with 'proper' abilities
and specialised education to be able to face current problems and help EU combat with them. In this regard,
there should be more subsidies and more support provided to the young generation to give the ambitious
young men and women an opportunity to further study and develop relevant skills as well as exchange good
practicies. This in its turn will battle the problem of offer-demand that many companies now have and thus,
will ensure the creation of the EU 'task force', a new generation of employees ready to take over the most
challenging tasks for the well-being of the European Union. Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is a good start!
53. energy, immigration, trade, law, R&D, police (importance: 87%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 3)
Energy, develope one European energy vision with a mix of coal, wind, sun, bio, fusion an nuclear energy
Immigration, develope one immigration vision on immigration workers and asylum seekers Trade, make
trade easier and force GB, SE and DK to join the euro More R&D, police, law and army cooperation. No
strassbourg and Brussel as main capitals of Europa!
54. the economy (importance: 87%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 6)
The world economy is basically falling apart but the EU don't seem to have any sort of plan that unites all the
countries together to deal with the problems head on. If the EU were to all work together on a plan that doesn't
involve simply pouring a load of money that nations don't have into the banks - this very clearly hasn't work at
all. By the nations simply pouring money in they were having to take out loans - this was one of the reasons
for the recession in that everyone was spending money they didn't have. Those in charge of nations need to
set an example to the people of their nation that it is possible to do things with their own money.

55. economy, poverty, social dimension, energy/climate change (importance: 87%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 12)
56. social security - employment - education - renewable energy (importance: 87%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 15)
Europe should encourage and help memberstates to provide an elaborate social security network for all of
her inhabitants. Europe should stimulate initiatives to improve quality and availability of education for all of
her inhabitants, young and old. Europe should stimulate economy and help create room for new jobs. Europe
should invest in renewable energy and stimulate development of economicaly viable standards as alternative
to e.g. petrol-driven cars.
57. Economy, Security, Environment. (importance: 87%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 9)
58. climate, sustainable development, economy (importance: 87%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 12)
the crisis is a chance to change our economy in a sustainble way; less car industry more research and
develpment, money for climate change and renewable energy, no nuclear power, no gmo´s, fighting poverty in
the ms and abroad
59. Invest in me when I am young. (importance: 87%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 15)
Give me an education that fits my talents and enables me to make money and be happy in life.
60. Economy, higher education, security, environment (importance: 87%, disagreement: 11, evaluations:
11)
Economy and Europe's competitiveness will decide Europe's place in the world during the next decades,
answering the challenge posed by BRIC and other developing countries is one Europe's priorities. This should
include economic package for the Eastern Europe to prevent a neo-divided Europe; focusing resources on
education and universities, completing the internal markets by creating a truly open energy market in Europe
and using innovations in becoming a leader in "green economy" and creating new "green-collar" jobs.
61. Invest in the European Research Area (importance: 87%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 9)
The EU's future is in knowledge, not agriculture. Swap the budgets around and look ahead, not behind.
62. unemployment, unemployment, unemployment (importance: 87%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 14)
63. business opportunity, free market (importance: 87%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 5)
64. enviroment, the current economic climate (importance: 87%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 2)
Theres needs to be action taken at a European level on the enviroment, not nessecarily in the form of carbon
tax, but through investing in renewable energy and alterative fuel sources. Nuclear power is not the answer
and the Lisbon treaty does not set a agenda for tackling this. The EU should also give assistance to countries
suffering under the current economic climate, workers rights must be defended and must come before profit.
There should be disincentives to stop companies laying people off and free training to upskill workers who
have been laid off.
The EU should create more opportunities to work in a foreign country. More information on how (procedure,
rules of application) to apply for a job in a different country.
66. Environment, clean technologies (importance: 86%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 11)
I am very worried about our planet and I wish the EU would take serious action in developing new clean
technologies for Europe and the world. This would be a wonderful way of combining competitiveness and
innovation to an alarming need for better use of our resources on the planet.
67. The development of new industry and services (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 11)
With new global economies like the BRIC countries gaining ever more power, even within international
organisations such as the UN and the IMF, Europe should focus on the development of new industry and
services revolving the new 'green' way of life, because it is here that the west has a comparative advantage (in
terms of knowledge as well as in terms of consumer interest). This can also help older industries such as the
threatened European automobile sector.
68. Stable and common economy (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 16)
Some countries must work harder to acheive at least a fraction of good beeing that others have. So let EU
promote and support all good activities, like infracstructurial projects, recreation, education in each and every
EU country..
I have been finding it very hard to find a job at my profession. I am a Forensic psychologist with studies
abroad which are not even recognised by the Greek authorities. It is a useful profession and the need for it in
Greece is big.

70. The EU should focus on education and research. (importance: 86%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 2)
Education and research are the basis of progress. Individual countries tend not to be reliable, like Italy where
researchers are hired purely because of nepotisms and universities are controlled by a oligarchy of ancient
pipsqueaks. I think the key is promoting more mobility among researchers of many universities in all countries,
more exchange of ideas and workforce. All energy and environmental problems would benefit and new
technologies are known to create more jobs.
71. Innovation and making the EU more competitive (importance: 86%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
We hear a lot of talk about making the EU the most competitive actor in the world. And we hear a lot of talk
about enterprise and innovation in the USA and how the EU is far behind in terms of investment. No doubt
the EU should invest more. But I fear that the EU wishes to copy the US model. The EU has itw own growth
model, based on a more equitable and just vision of society. Although research should aim for excellence,
I nonetheless believe there is room for a multi-centred approach to competitiveness. So, the EU should
encourage pockets of innovation and research in all parts of the terriotry.

73. removing trade barriers (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 6)
75. The internal market and overall economic coordination (importance: 86%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 19)
- The EU should deal with improving the internal market and its four freedoms. Important in my view are
facilitating trade, the providing of services and the free movement of workers and capital. Also the movement
of knowledge (researchers and students) should be stimulated. - Furthermore, the EU should coordinate the
macro-economic policies of the member states. As fiscal and labour policies in the member states produce
externalities for other countries, a common strategy should be devised. This means strengthening the Broad
Economic Policy Guidelines, and, in the light of the current economic crisis, strenghtening financial supervision
at the European level.
76. EQUAL OPPORTUNITES IN JOB FOR EUROPEANS.AND MONEY INCOME (importance: 86%,
IN GREECE THE MONTHLY LOWEST INCOME FOR A WORKER IS ABOUT 700 EURO IN FRANCE
EXAMPLE... IS THE DOUBLE. A COFFIE IN GREECE COST 3 EURO IN FRANCE COST 3 EURO THE
BALANCE IS DIFFERENT AND MUCH EXPENSIVE FOR THE GREEKS.MUST DO SOMETHING FOR THIS.
77. Innovation and R&D (importance: 86%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 4)
I believe that each country needs to commit an x amount of energy and amount on R&D, innovation and
lateral thinking. This is the only way to compete with other countries that are snatching manufacturing and
textiles industries.
78. climate change, safe energy, transport, jobs (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 18)
79. Economy - crisis (importance: 85%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 5)
As a matter of speaking, everyone who makes decisions on EU level should read about Adam Smith.
Government interruption (quotas, max/min prices, subsidies, ...) sometimes creates more issues that will
be solved by another government interruption, and so on. The free market solves itselfs !!! Only with urgent
problems (i.e. like pollution) a government should intervene to speed up the free market process. In general, a
government (i.e. like the EU) has an observing function. 1500 characters are of course not enough to explain
the problems that this brings to our economy. We are so blind to see that governments sometimes cause more
problems to solve one, or maybe we are affraid of what a free market might bring. People make people. When
their are too many, people get depressed and suicides are increasing. This is nature solving the problem. This
is life. Free economy does the same!
80. peace, education, economy (importance: 85%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 19)
81. employment and social protection system (importance: 85%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 7)
better protection in unemployment and motherhood/faterhood, lower fees for education, more effective and
free european health system, incentives for small companies, better transport systems, stimulate culture and
culture-related jobs in southern europe

82. SECURITY - IMMIGRATION AND BORDER CONTROL - BUSINESS (importance: 85%, disagreement:
16, evaluations: 11)
The EU should have an integrated border control system to control the wave of illegal immigration into the EU.
You must think that everything is connected. Illegal immigration have links with organized crime, it harms the
security of good EU citizens and also put in disadvantage EU business. Think about it. Also, the EU should
be more PRO - BUSINESS and less social. Everybody have the same opportunities in life, why some good
earners have to support lazy people who do not want to work?
83. Health system, more jobs, stronger social policy (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 15)
A more substantial health system, more jobs as there are a lot of unemployment people and a stronger social
policy
84. Entrepreneural Aid, Greater Redistribution of Wealth (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations:
6)
Legalese and Taxation Codes should be simplified for Entrepreneurs in Europe , Whilst more Aid grants
given to them. In addition facilitation of resources and amenities across the European Community should be
more transparent. Focus should be given to developing European Countries which would aid not only these
Countries , but would also reduce the burden on the Developed European Countries, due to the reduced flow
of immigration from Countries with less wealth.
85. science, research, education (importance: 85%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 14)
86. employment (importance: 85%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 15)
87. environment, energy, economy, really working together (importance: 85%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 16)
Top priorities when the crisis will be behind us are, to me : 1/ finally make all countries work closer together
and make it feel to citizens because we don't 2/ ressources management and environment should be on the
top of the agenda, we can not allow ourselves to keep poluting as we do right now
88. economy and healthcare and the high prices of food (importance: 85%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 2)
it s important to create more an more jops and not let the big store sell the food so expensive, because for
example the farmers win just less money but the big stores win millions of €uros and people who dont win
so much money have to live hartly. Healthcare is a right of every person, but the prices becomes higher and
higher
89. Unemployment, health care, economy, enviroment, Education (importance: 85%, disagreement: 6,
evaluations: 2)
I leave in a Country where the most important thing is to go to the Univeristy and study and generally
expand your knowledge and horizons. I got my degree and I keep on Master studies. The result is 2 years
unemployed. There is no hope in finding a good job. I believe for sure there is no hope in finding a job in my
aspect. We are the "no hope" generation. I have been tired of my parents paying for my rent.I have been tired
of working as waiter just to make ends meet.The only thing i am wondering is which is the perfect country
to move now. I don't care that I leave in a beautiful country with sun and nice people since i have no money
to experience whatever this country offers me. I feel useless and the issue is that I didn't do anything bad in
order to feel in that way. The politicians see us as numbers. I am a number, you are a number, all together we
are many numbers. In this world the only thing that matters is who your dad is.If he has a lot of money and he
owns a company, your future is stable.We don't need knowledge and degrees and experience. The only thing
we need is good conections.We need to know the right person in the right position. In the past I was feeling
strong and I was believing that I can change the world, with only condition my own will. Now I have realised
that nobody wants from me to change the world.The only thing they want from me is not to disturb their nice
nirvana. Yours sincerely, A member of "no hope" generation.
90. Stabilization of the European Economies (importance: 85%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 12)
Due to the fact that I am going to finish my Master Studies this year the state of the European economies
is of more and more importance for me. I will be looking for a job in due course and an economic turndown
does not improve the chances for young people to find an adequate job. Thus the EU should focus on making
Europe work closer together with the USA, Japan, China and India. It's not about stabilizing the financial
markets, it's about overcomming protectionism in order to enable growth of the world economy again.
europe should come out stronger from this crisis. It will be clear suicide if EU doesn't succeed in working
together through out this

93. Innovation and creativity (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 16)
Europe is often called the Old World and, while cherishing the wonderful heritage of our continent, I believe
the EU should take action towards making sure its people look more at the future than how they do now. I
would like the EU to stimulate the creativity and innovation capabilities of its citizens, I would like the EU to
make sure its citizens are allowed to dream and build their own future and are given the tools to do so in their
societies. I would like people to think of the European Dream in even more positive terms than the American
Dream.
94. Education and harmonising the policies for employment (importance: 85%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 8)
This is indeed a crusial topic.
95. The greenest possible economy. (importance: 85%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 14)
In every domain of our EU economy (from banking to architecture, from transport to services, etc), the
greenest possible approach should get top priority. EU should stimulate this more with big incentives for
positive action, as well as big fines for those entrepreneurs that are deaf and blind.
Dear Mr. Barroso My name is Aikaterini D. Pantoula and I'm a 26 year-old youth who faces the most important
problem of all in her own family. In particular, my mother who comes from the most poor Prefecture of Europe
that of Epirus cannot find a job. She's a primary school graduate and she was born in 10 August 1961. As you
realize she's a socially secluded woman who can't support financially her family. Furthermore, as you already
are aware of there is no social welfare here in Greece. As a result, I don't have the money to pursue my MA,
though I've been accepted with scholarship at UU and RUN. I have Excellent grades and unfortunately my
dream to pursue an Academic career will never become true. I work for 800 euro 136 hrs per month. Actually,
I'm taken advantage of my services as every other youth in Greece. I'm desperate. My father suffers from
heart AF and my granny with whom I sleep in the same room (in our 76 m^2 flat) suffers from Alzheimer. Why
have you condemned us to these extenuating circumstances of living? My generation and I don't deserve it.
We are condemned in poverty and employers' exploitation. Please, gives us the future we deserve, help us
fulfill our dreams. We don't have voice to speak out and if we speak we will be fired the same time. You have
done nothing for us and this is a grievance. Please, take measures for our generation, save us from this hell.
Yours sincerely, Aikaterini D. Pantoula
97. Competitive EU industry (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 18)
Europe needs a globally competitive industry. The EU needs an integrated strategy to keep its industries
competitive. A competitive industry brings growth and jobs.
98. EU should focus on economic issues. (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 5)
99. employment for younger and older generations (importance: 85%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 6)
Spain has inflexible employment policies not adaptable to the talented younger generation and the
experienced older one. Tapping into this talent is only possible if employment laws were adjusted to modern
day times. Far too long lunch breaks, and strict "redunancy" regulations from dictatorship days are detrimental
to creativity and to work-life-balance environment. In days of office sharing, Spain lags behind in adjustment,
ideas and flexibility. Target 1: Sift the wheat from the chaff - maintain efficiency with talent and experience
Target 2: Happy employees are productive employees - give them flexible working hours and flexible work
location convenient for younger parents and those with handicapped family members in need of care
100. Harmonisation of taxes on : employment, fiscal & VAT (importance: 85%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 8)
Some markets are close to impossible to develop in belgium as a Business model that are possible in France
or Germany is not rendable in Belgium. For example : e-commerce who the next competitor is just the next
click away.
101. fair trade: let Europe be the first fair continent (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 13)
Fair trade is in my opinion THE answer to fight poverty worldwide. It is a sign to the rest of the world: money
doesn't rule in Europe but compassion and common sense. Why do we give so much money to Africa for
example while, if we buy more from them, we can achieve more?
102. Research&development (importance: 84%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 20)
With knowledge society coming up, the EU should focus on promoting research, science, and development.
103. employment and skills (importance: 84%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 10)
Employment is always important for any of EU citizen, since it guarantees the quality of life as well as ensures
- directly and indirectly - the support for EU polices. The skills development is of outmost importance in the
today’s age of challenges and technologies, since it boosts the quality of human capital, following the slogan
"The difficult I do today and the impossible might wait until tomorrow".

105. Aid to third world countries. Investment and development (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 3)
106. job creation (importance: 84%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 15)
The big "R". At the moment I'm concerned about the amount of reactionary measures that are being spoken
about, surely proactive solutions would be better than what appears to be sticking a finger in the dike. If
the governments want more income, then the way I see it, they could agressively create jobs by supporting
enterprise. Swiftly introducing tax breaks for business' would create more jobs, thus the governments would
gain more income through income tax, VAT and reducing the amount they pay for Social Welfare.
Chances are not equal for all within the EU. I believe there is much more to be done in that field.
108. Education, health care, work/ employment, capabilities (importance: 84%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 13)
A good education that is available to all children and young high school graduates can be a key to upward
mobility or the amelioration of one's environment, both mentally and financially. In the current crisis, it is not
unthinkable that unemployment numbers will continue to rise. I believe that is up to local/national governments
as well as up to the european institutions to challenge these developments and monitor them carefully.
109. economy, welfare, social, politic, (importance: 84%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 13)
i think that EU may affect my country economicly, improving quality of life, and securing a good welfare.
socially i think that EU would create a higher standart of society. and ofcourse politic: more stability.
110. Create more jobs (importance: 84%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 10)
I think the most important thing i that "ordinary" people must see that teh EU work for their economy as well,
not just the economic well beeing og businesses. Shift the slogan from "internal market" to "jobs for all is
priority no 1 for the EU" (and this includes a healthy economy)
111. Environment, economic, social (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 16)
Environment first of all. Without nature, we would have been nothing. Economic and social comes second,
because we need to provide in our own human needs, but not at the disadvantage of the enivironment.
112. Innovation (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 18)
Innovation is a number one issue, if Europe wants to remain competitive!
113. education and research (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 6)
keep investing, make information free to all across eu
114. Economics (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 10)
Capitalism doesn't work. Europe should be following real thinkers and not the leaders of some think tanks,
paid indirectly by companies and private interests to promote capitalism, liberalism. This is leading us to more
crisis. Never forget that a economy crisis is nothing compared to what people (real human beings) may suffer
from loosing jobs, incomes, etc. EU should stop protecting richs, companies, international interests, etc.
115. economy, alternative forms of energy, gdp, environment (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 12)
What can we do to protect efficiently the environment? Are the alternative forms of energy helping it or
the outcome is a bigger disaster(like in U.S)? Is it relevant to our nation's economy? How will get over the
economy crisis? Is there a plan or EU is just waiting from US to get it over?
116. Invest money in research, education, job market (importance: 84%, disagreement: 17, evaluations:
17)
Due to the crisis many people lose their jobs.These people have nothing to do with the cause of the economic
crisis and they should not pay for it. I am one of them.Everyday I live with the fear that I may lose my job in
the near future. I am afraid of my own futyre. What should be done is to invest money in research, education,
on the job market, to maintain the job positions and create new ones.I do not agree with this idea that Europe
should focus on the dept stability. Europe should do as the Americans do but not to that extent. Invest money
in new areas so that when the crisis is over new things may rise.We should not be selfish...
117. New technology (importance: 84%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 8)
In this finacial crises are very important to invent new techology better technology to resolve this problem and
to also invent some new mwdical system

With the beginning of “economical crisis” a lot of companies started unemployment processes, even if there
was no need. EU has to work on stronger on protections of employees and make more restrictions for the
companies who are using global problems to benefit.
I want to have a good job. But there is no work nowadays. I want to earn and spend money. Because having
no money made me crazy. I am only 26 yeas old, and I have some wishes. But it is not possible to do what
you want to do. I have lots of friends that they don't have jobs, too. We educate 16 years in our country
and cannot get a good job. Because there is a hard exam as KPSS that we cannot get a good marks to be
assigned to a work. I and my friends suffer from KPSS exam. Please have a good solution for unemployment
for all the people around world.

123. Ethical Responsibility of the Companies (importance: 84%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 5)
For their own sake the Companies must change their own approach to the comunities they are inserted in.
Information runs fast and the consumers will penalize the ones that fail to do so. The companies cannot afford
anymore to consider the markets as resources to be exploited. As far as democracy prevails every consumer
is as well a citizen. They will remind this, somehow, in the polls.
124. Economic government (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 9)
For instance the EU should carry out the 'new deal' policy of sustaining the growth instead of the states and
when it comes to know how to budget this we 'll have an harmonized tax policy and it will be the beginning of
an Economic government as we have the currency and the central Bank. what will happen is the contrary: the
EU will summon the states not making a deficit but as they can't do without it will lose its authority of a former
age and the policy of the Commission will be given by the state's politicians to their Citizens as the main
problem facing them . this is to lose any legitimacy in the future!
125. unemployment and immigration (importance: 84%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 4)
how should the opening of the borders of EU affects unemployment in the EU countries with the non EU
countries, and how open should they get with each other, especially now that more countries are added to EU.

127. 1) Unemployment 2)racism 3)no social politics (importance: 84%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
Day by day the people in EU are loosing their jobs, EU seems to be week to help all these people, everything
is about the rich people, about industry and the only thing that we see through our televisions is the great
meetings of the European leaders in hotels of 5 and more stars, the luxury is all around them and at the same
tme people in UK, in France, in Greece don't have 1 euro to buy milk for their family..I think that the EU has
lost the meaning of his existence..All the people together, all the countries united as one....we don't see that in
our days. we see different politic in Greece, different in France..
128. Single market, education, freedom of movement, euro (importance: 84%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 8)
this current 'crisis' should become 'the great reset'. don't use tax-payers money to save old industries and
global companies who have been focussing on profit and shareholders for too long, ignoring their responsibilty
to society. instead inject money in small, local, durable initiatives. reduce the amount of administration that
comes with entrepreneurship and stimulate people to follow their true hearts passion. this, together with a
continued support for innovation (but not just science and technology), would make a solid base for further
growth.

130. Economical crisis (importance: 84%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 14)
People are loosing jobs and fast, poverty is rising in every part of the world, on a daily basis companies have
to let people go but at the same time get to hear from the governement that people don't want to work. Pretty
hard to do when companies are closing the doors. And all of this at the same time that prices rise, renting a
house gets more expensive and 75% of people are hanging on by a thread at the end of each month.

132. Global warming, healthcare, progress, research. (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations:

I believe we have to care about the future of europeans meaning that new generations should take their own
new challenges. Obviously global warning and ecological issue are on of them but we can add following the
appearrance of the crisis, maintening the social welfare, investist in research and education, in science and
new technologies (communication, space).
The EU should focus on the improvement of the economic/entrepreneurial environment of member countries
so as to maintain a high standard of competitiveness and keep jobs from going East..!! Incentives, tax
rebates, lower VAT rates and administrative costs, an educated, mobile and tech-savvy workforce, are few
of the ways to keep the Asian tigers from taking our livelihoods from under our noses!!!! (must I elaborate
more???)
134. trade policy with developing countries (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 2)
It a shame that eu`s policy proclaim to open their markets.We are in position of power so we do our own rules
concerning only to have profit and ever lasting poverty there because its better.Read social watch report to

136. Innovate! Innovate! Innovate! (importance: 84%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 18)
Our most important resource are our people rather then the riches of the soil. But to leverage on that we
need to stay ahead by being more innovative in all aspects of our lives: in sciences, technology but also
political and ethical issues. What's needed for that is to maximize the flow of information and ideas within our
continent. Regional competition should work positive, challenging, but not negative, by being protectionistic.
We need a few focused campuses around Europe, where innovation can incubate and grow to challenge the
other technology "valleys": Biotech, Human-oriented-Software, Green-automotive as a few ideas. Europe's
leadership needs to champion this: create awareness, create consensus and implement with discipline, focus
and dedication: working supra-national is needed for success. I believe Europe can do this! Frank
137. Full harmonisation of the Common market (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 15)
One Market, one Currency, one system of customs, taxes and tariffs. As long as you can buy a bottle of
Gordon Gin in Portugal for 5 euros less then in The Netherlands, there is no Common Market.
138. Employement opportunities in small areas (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
Belgium is doing quite well as for to social sector concerns. The big problem is the employement choice in
small regions. Belgium is a small country and has huge concentration of work in big regions, the capital of
course, causing the daily problem of the traffic jams which turns to pass a high bill to the enviroment. But what
is the option left? Work opportunities outside the capital are very limited. On the other hand, the integration
of people of different origin remains also a tricky area. The raising of the extremists groups is not making it
easier. european societies seem to be creating the spaces for these group to grow slowly and quietly, they
are gaining trust from the locals and the result is very discouraging for the foreigners who in the end sustain
to a certain extende the economy. Not all of them are illegal and not many are a threat to society. Young
people are the most exposed and the easy target for extreme and orthodox thinking. This forms a real danger
which will burst only in a decade more, when they become the leaders, the voice, the chiefs, and the working
power. Therefore, EU should also focus on the integration process outside of the big cities. The small villages
are hardly accepting any foreigners and many of them lead on unhealthy mental state of mind due to social
isolation they are forced to live on. Politicians speak about integration and underline the need learning the
language, but we all know this is not the passport for integration.
139. Economy, Safety, Health Care (importance: 83%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 12)
Better economy, better salaries, better pensions. Make cities safer, control migration, stop the outsourcing of
businesses. And for heaven's sake, make health care and education a priority so that everybody can have a

financial situation in greece is extremely bad and the hight criminality is the result of it
The last 5 months there is very high risk of loosing our jobs and it is very difficult for someone to find a new
one. Something must be done to ensure our jobs and to help unemployed people find one.
143. competitiveness (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 9)
EU must keep and enforce its power as a global economy
144. european industry (importance: 83%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 9)
massive investment to regenerate european industry, in order to locate employment and clients in the same
economical area
145. Generating more and better jobs. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 25)
Providing more opportunities for entrepreneurship. Helping people who want to set up a small business with
tax breaks for the first two years; business start up advice; advice on business plans; possible funding help in
the first years. Implementing more stringent regulations to stop the abuse of independent status by employers

tax evasion of companies nationally before looking to tax havens.

Many graduates end up in jobs which are completely irrelevant to their studies, not out of choice but because
of a lack of opportunties.
151. in proposing a coherent green economy centered recovery plan (importance: 83%, disagreement:
20, evaluations: 7)
We need an EU bold stimulus plan to promote green econom, create millons of green collar jobs, reduce
climat endangering emissions and increse energy autonomy and security. We need such an ambitious
investment plan to tackle the mix of crisis we are facing and to keep our leading role in the green sector. In
the meantime we see that while the EU is steping back, other developed and emerging countries are investig
massive ammounts in the green economy, promoting low carbon solutions.
152. Difficulties for a person to start a new company in Greece (importance: 83%, disagreement: 0,
evaluations: 1)
I wish the Greek goverment try to do more about the peapole who try to reach the market and especialy
the new one.I believe the current laws for creating a new company are either not used the right way due to
corruption or completely unreliable to us. Most of the peapole in my friend and family sircle who opened a
new company here in Greece,needed from 15 to 24 days in order to take the "Green light" and start their
businesses. Hope Greek politicians start to consider this very seriusely :)
153. Research in Nanotechnology and physics is non existent (importance: 83%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 2)
Research in Nanotechnology and physics is non existent at this time in Athens Greece. Academics and
school teachers are not even receiving their regular salaries, and they have to wait two and three months to
receive any money. Instead the government is curtailing even more funding in research and development.
154. Employment, social security, sustainable energy resources. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 3)
Everybody says that Europe has a better working social system.Its probably so.The same does not apply
when it comes to chauvinism and racism though.These two events have a great influence when it comes to
employment and social security.Europe is still divided into Western and Eastern.As for sustainable energy
resources,Europe has the potential not only to develop but to start implement all scientific achievements in
faster pace .

155. Environmental health, tobacco&alcohol, jobs, urban planning (importance: 83%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 5)
I would like to live in a safe environment: all those products I use, cosmetics, detergents, aerosols, and the
food I consume (strawberry full of pesticides and so on + ready made processed food), products used in
place I am spending time (paints etc), the quality of the air I breathe is important, and right now I am not too
sure about it. It is also of prime importance that EU institutions take the lead in urban planning: a lot of people
are living in ugly parts of suburbs, far from city centres, the environment is degraded, housing is appaling.
Ensuring fair jobs for everybody is also important, make education disciplines offer matche employers
demand!!
156. air quality, transportation networks, flexible labour market (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13,

157. extend the internal market (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 8)
the internal market, free movements of good, capital and people, is the raison d'etre of the EU and helps the
citizens to truly enjoy the advantages of an united EU: lower consumer prices, more services, the opportunity
to live, study and work in other countries.
158. Corruption, energy, politics, jobs, education, innovation.. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 11)
Lithuania has more issues: like lack of central management, politics make decisions on the spot, they don't
have common goal or long-term vision. They don't take examples from other countries like Estonia does with
Sweden or Finland. A bigger part of EU support money are used for low priority projects and it wouldn't make
income in the future (renovation, local health/disease centers). More & more corporations end up bankrupt,
people losing jobs. Lithuania has to put money in this sector. LT don't manufacture nothing useful for EU
market. People finish studies at universities and don't find jobs, they are forced to leave country. EU has to
harden policy with Lithuania. Lithuanian politics talks more than do something. EU should monitor all projects
monthly for any progress made. And these are just begining for all problems in Lithuania.
159. Single Market (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 16)
The EU must protect the integrity of the Single market that has come under attack by various bailout packages
by individual member states. DG Internal market and DG Competition have an important job in this respect.
The single market has been the greatest achievement of the EU and it must not be allowed to fall because of
protectionist tendenices in some member states who are playing to popular opinion for electoral advantage.
160. Information & Communication Technologies (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 20)
If the EU would realize full connectivity of its citizens through digital means, it would feel much more like a big
family: all citizens would be able to share information with one another at any time, in any place.
161. Energy and technology, freedom and politcal transparency (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 6)
The most important thing today is the energy. The EU should continue researching nuclear fusion power,
printable solar power based on plastics and other efficient energy sources. The key is to get the most efficient
power, not the cheapest! Waste energy is a problem, so efficiency is of top priority. We should not use the
USA as raw model for the EU. Let freedom reign. Safety is not that important. It's not political correct, but
generally it's better to have some deaths than a union living in fear. If all would just ignore "terroist" attacks,
the terrorists would have no reason to attack us, because their killing would not have any effect. I guess this
would prevent bombings etc. Of course we're made believe that the terrorists are killing invidels and doing
this for religous reasons, but the people who equip and instruct them surely do this for politcal reasons only.
Also political transparency is very important, as is the independenc of state and religion. We may not combine
those. But the EU has so many different religions that I think it's very improbable that this could happen.
162. assistive technologies in the healthcare industry (importance: 83%, disagreement: 5, evaluations: 5)
The usefulness of assistive technologies in the health care industry has already been proved nevertheless a
bridge needs to be built between on the one hand the technology (automation) industry and the health care
industry. Nowadays the technology industry is manufacturing innovative assistive products for the health
care market without taking into consideration the needs of end-user (the person with a handicap, the elderly).
Making assistive technologies work is listening to the needs of the end-user and taking into consideration
his suggestions. If the technology industry is prepared to listen to the end-user and vice versa, assistive
technologies can be a future new market that can save a lot of money to the government etc. Living labs is
already one step in the good direction but many steps have still to be taken.
I think EU needs to improve communication in order to improve mobility and securyt, which will bring more
economic growth

164. Economy, unemployment, European Parliament, anti-EU feeling (importance: 83%, disagreement:
Obviously in these particularly difficult times, economic issues, especially those surrounding employment are
the foremost concern in peoples' minds. The nature of the crisis means that jobs are going to be lost, that is
largely unavoidable. Nonetheless there has been a lack of co-ordinated responses amongst states on fiscal
and other levels to the crisis; especially within the eurozone. We need to come up with a strategy to get EU
states trading and buying again. We must encourage businesses and enterprise. At an EU level we need to
provide businesses, especially small and medium businesses with the conditions they need to foster growth.
Remember, these are the people that will provide jobs and get Europe working again. Instead, we see
beureaucrats wasting their time and creative energy in the European Civil Service making documents about
using gender neutral language, a totally futile when dealing with many European languages which happen
to have gendered articles. Libertas, UKIP and other such anti-EU parties would not have oxygen to fuel their
fire were such embarassing exercises axed. Instead employees of the EU bureaucracy need to take more
practical approaches and need to find a way to connect with European people. Additionally, MEPs need to
show their constituents the usefulness of what they do in their work instead of 'riding the EU gravy train'. Mr
Barosso, it is up to you to ensure that the EU becomes more relevant to my needs and those of all Europeans.
165. ethics in business (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
Financial and economic behaviour must be reformed. Businesses - as well as public authorities - must take a
responsible and ethical approach which does not prioritise short term gain over long-term growth.
166. Education & Research, economic stimulous and job creation (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 17)
Education and research are landmarks in current day society. If leaders do not stimulate higher levels of
education and research, society and economies will not be able to leap forward. There is a clear backlash
in terms of research if one compares to the other side of the Atlantic (US). It is of paramount importance
to narrow the gap and fund education, training and research more in line with the social, economic and
entrepreneurial fabric within the EU. Despite an ever more active ESDP, the EU is a civilian power whose
desideratum is to emulate itself and thus avoid the intergovenmental limbo and become a most active actor.
I strongly believe that education and research cannot be ignored if the EU is to devise a economic stimulous
to launch the EU policy, help its "near abroads" and other nations around the world sharing common values,
norms and patterns. Insofar as the job creation issue is concerned, it is essential to path social stabilisation,
"plenty" and well being.
167. Economic integration and social reforms (importance: 83%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 6)
Europe should continue the economic integration, giving all European countries access to the single market
and the euro. Also close cooperation regarding social policy, education and security matter. The EU should
not force political integration and spend money on political and military agendas.

170. environment and innovation (importance: 82%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 19)
Big cities should become more sustainable and "human" by respecting the enviroment. In addition new forms
of innovation ( especially for SME's ) can trigger entrerpreunership and boost the economy. Although the
Commission does initiate funding, Member states do not always convey this priority in their national economy
171. Environment, employment and new technologies.... (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 12)
Environment is important so the EU must apply policies to imporve our way of living and the environment we
live in (promote green energies, bicycles etc). Also, employment is a big issue. EU has to find ways to promote
employment in other EU countries. Finally, new tech is the future so the EU must increase investment in
research and also apply new techs in our daily lives sooner and more effectively.

173. economy and trade (importance: 82%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 14)
Good economic EU leadership is vital. Also in this issue, strong coöperation is required. Best is to integrate
this with other themes, such as environment, to ensure a sustainable economic system.
174. support new businessman (importance: 82%, disagreement: 6, evaluations: 3)
I started my own business slowly last year from home, (pc, web design, programming, software engineering,
software on demand.) A law states I can get funded only if I am operating for 3 years earning money. Now
after one year working steadily paying my taxes I decided it is time for me to move to a shop and can afford
the rent. There is not grant for me If I want to jumpstart my business.
Europe should fight against economy problems like inflation and unemployment. Bosses and managers should
not be fired with huge amounts of money when they are responsible for a crisis or when the emnployees of the
company get fired. People should get more security at work. Mobbing and discrimination should be fighted.
176. Financial markets and services providers’ regulation. (importance: 82%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 16)
As this ongoing crisis have shown financial markets and financial services providers (banks in most cases) are
too important for the well being to all countries to be left to market forces. Recent years of deregulation in all
over the world have led us to the situation there even drastic measures taken by the governments and central
banks can't deal with situation we are all in today. As many already spoken about this issue I think it is of the
prime importance in EU to adopt and implement such financial markets and financial firms regulation that
possibility of such crisis in the future would be minimized.
177. Environment, economy, education, immigration (importance: 82%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 18)
Malta needs a good transportation system in order to solve problems regarding the environment and also
economy. Education needs to to be given a priority. We rarely hear about educational programmes being
offered in Malta financed by the EU. Pressure should be placed by the EU to help our country deal with the
immigration question, a problem which is claiming the lives of thousands of immigrants. Malta cannot solve
such a problem without the other countries sharing the burden.
179. Economic recovery (importance: 82%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 8)

evaluations: 12)
Lots of people in the whole Europe are facing unemployment and will not be able to find a job with a fair
salary and safe working condition (healthy and with very low risk conditions). The globalization is applied only
on goods (and the goods quality is impressively decreasing) but not the workers and children rights. Most of
the European citizens are facing the crisis cutting out their expenses, sometimes avoiding to buy expensive
medicines and buying low cost food whose origin cannot be checked. The EU should strongly improve the
check on imports, in terms of quality and fair treatment to the workers who produced the goods, by means of a
certification system globally certified in accordance with the United Nations.

193. Employment and social protection (importance: 82%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 6)
I think that the greatest problem affecting societal peace and the ability of the EU to progress is the global
financial crisis. Therefore, it must be addressed before anything worsens, and to alleviate those already
suffering. This would also be an excellent way for the EU to show it's citizens what it can do, and show the
world the integrity of Europe.
194. energy and growth and jobs (importance: 82%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 13)

199. economy competitivene global warming, ageing pop, EU focus (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 9)
All the above are linked. The current crisis is undermining the growth and stability pact and some MS are
challenging the principles of the Single Market. This bad for the economy and bad for job creation. The rising
national debts will create problems when govts are faced with with increasing health care costs for the rising
number of elderly, forcing them to choose between budget cuts elsewhere, reducing the quality of care or
increasing taxes. Global warming is a real concern but the current focus is wrong. We are punishing our
own industry before we know what others will do and not focusing on the area of greatest potential benefit:
energy efficiency. Nor are we forcing individuals to really re-think there impact on the environment (no doubt
not to loose their votes). If we cripple our industry without achieveing global CO2 reductions we won't save the
planet and we'll destroy job creating industries. I feel that the EU has lost its way. It no longer has a project
which drives it and behind which the people can mobilise. Global Warming is clearly and option but it is still
divisive. How about completing the single market? Lisbon Strategy 2 (the green economy)? If our social
model is to be sustained for the next 50 years, we have to remain competitive on a global scale. Innovation
and education are our 2 greatest assets and we are not giving either the attention they deserve.
Unemployment, especially for young people, is a real issue here in Greece. In my case, I've been working for
8 years in private sector, I lost my job and I've been trying for 2 years to find a new job in Greece or abroad
(in a EU country-member). I believe that EU should focus more on "creating" employment programmes for EU
citizens.
201. human rights democracy unemployment equal oppurtunity (importance: 82%, disagreement: 14,

I am so disturbed by violation of human rights. There are many children who cannot go to school and they are
forced to work. There should be equal opportunity for all children to change the vision of society and Turkey.
Unemployment has prevailed and people do not work in occupations they desire. This is against human
rights... I want to work on human rights, I want to study; yet, no one gives me a chance... Money talks

202. Social facilities. Job opportunities. Education centers. (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 10)
there should be actual IT services serving to the houses of people about the facilities of town. Some
easy ways have to be coordinated for the transportation problems of social activities. By these kind of
organizationbs such as street promotions, stand activities etc. there could be an increase of job opportunities.
These sound as temporarely solutions. But they are really helpful for the student population. Meanwhile, there
should be more education centers in all speacilized areas for the ones who didn't have chance to graduate at
a university etc. So it'd be easier to provide educated staff to the job opportunities.
203. Should focus on green technologies (importance: 82%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 14)
It is oblivious that we are depended of ester country material such as oil and gas. So we must develop green
technologies like electric, hydrogen or any other alternative motors. Why i say so? because everything is
depended on it. If we want to be safe we must free out from oil monopoly.
204. Poverty-enviroment-economy-greed-profit (importance: 82%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 13)
I will try and sum it up, as shortly as possible. The "leaders" of the world are hurting the earth and they need
to stop! It seems that they mostly think of the world as a business. I can see how that can be a short-term
solution, but it needs to stop. The distance between politicians and the people has become wider over the
years, and they seem to be working for them selves and not the people/world as a whole. The world is sick,
and the only way to cure it, is to start thinking about how to make it better, and not just treat the symptoms.
Instead of removing the things that hurt the earth, we try to give a pill to make it better. The pills does not work.
the only way the cure the world and scociety as a whole, is to remove the things that makes them hurt. Money
is one of them...profit is an illusion made reality. The world is being run by greedy people. War is another...
Instead of imposing your will upon each other, learn to accept each others differences. The world IS big
enough for everyone. Open your minds to other thing than money.
205. Sustainable economy, macro environment, education (importance: 82%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 4)
My worry about the economic model we adapt is that there is no mental limit to the way we consume. The
last generations are being raised knowing more about their consumer rights & obligations than their civil one.
Once I heard on the radio somebody saying, "In the end we will consume our existence". This is the point that
environment comes in. Any model of development is based on the assumption of endless resources. We know
pretty well that this is not true. Furthermore the exaggerating behaviour leads to correction, but why can't we
adapt the correction itself without exaggerating? Until now the western civilization has proven a high level of
adaptability and many other advantages. We luck of sense of balance though. A very important component
of the Ancient Hellenique and many others civilizations, where we are supposed to have been based on.
Education may provide this balance, delivering to society balanced individuals. It is not a matter of grants
allocated. It is a matter of leaders' mentallity and will to drive progress. I would start from raising the next
leaders generation.
206. Making the EU more competitive with the rest of the world (importance: 82%, disagreement: 16,

We seem to spend too much time thinking about how to make all countries in the EU equally
UNCOMPETITIVE rather than focussing on how we can help all EU businesses, big or small, more
competitive and able to compete on a global stage.

208. Freedom / Human Rights / Security & Economical Struggle. (importance: 82%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 9)
Yes, we live in difficult, violent times that the economical struggle makes societies unstable. But I, and most
everyday-people, don't agree with all these Security measures taken by most, I suppose, governments.
Concerning Greece, our government is taking measures that trespass human rights, the rights of personal
anonymity and the freedom of speech in the name of 'fighting against crime'. I don't think that by muzzling,
scare & control the daily routine of 10,000,000 people the crimes will be reduced, but the opposite. I think that
we need a direct economical solution, friendly to the low-salary & unemployed masses, to PREVENT crimes.
I don't find irrational (not right either!) the fact that unemployed or €400-monthly-salary people become violent.
It should be expected, when life in Greece is TOO expensive and the salaries TOO small. Greek government
does it all wrong, all economical or social measures are 'magic pictures' and the security measures are here to
protect themselves, the very few, from losing the power to continue taking those 'magic pictures' and become
at the same time richer. European Union should be very strict, not only with the 'numbers' of the economics
of Greece, but with all that these numbers hide behind and the Meritocracy that doesn't exist in Greece. (sorry
about my too simple and bad english)

209. the current state of the economy (importance: 82%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 11)
The EU should work on establishing a tighter framework of rules and regulations for the financial sector to
avoid the excesses that led to the current situation. The difficulty will be in making these rules stringent, yet
loose enough not to stiffle competition amongst the financial companies. While painful in regards to the loss of
jobs, the EU member states should not pump money into organizations that do not show the capability to deal
with the crisis in a manner that shows a willingness to break with the past practices (General Motors/Chrysler
in the US as non-EU example).
211. Adapt the educative path to the labour market (importance: 82%, disagreement: 5, evaluations: 2)
Labour market evolves at a bigger speed than the european educational system. Chinese, russian and
americans have one single market, but also a common educational system. What is the point of creating
single market without a common educational system at all levels, including post degrees, PhD and long life
training ?? what are the objectives of europe on the issue??
212. studies-pension-jobs-emigration-green policy (importance: 81%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 13)
I think studies for people over 30 years old must be cheaper and the EU has to promote that. It's a new
oportunity for them to change their lifes.It must be cheaper and flexible becouse from the age of 30s people
start families ,they have already a job and many time 3 or 4 children. I believe education can solve problems
like emigration(inside EU)create new jobs,configure(create) people with green attitude.
213. World Economy (importance: 81%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 9)
The current status of the world's economies is a great opportunity for Greece and other EU members to grow.
Due to the decline in currency value or the available investment power of nations like the US and Japan (and
many others), smaller, more "static" economies can grow by forming joint venture groups, easing banking,
trade and other such restrictions, and "step in" to the banking and / or investment void that has come about
due to the withdrawal of assets from the marjets by the US, Japan, UAE, and other investment or credit
guarantor nations. By pooling available assets between eastern European nations, we stand a very good
chance to move our economies forward while the traditional leaders in banking and investment are standing
still or losing ground in a global "bear" market. Eastern Europe, particularly the Balkans, should be extremely
vigilant, always seeking out opportunity in places other nations only see the potential for loss.

The Eu needs to drift away from a way of thinking that focuses only on the defense and expansion of its own
economy.In order to be truly representing the values and moral standards it strives to embody it cannot keep
the same policies towards emerging and poor countries.Flooding their markets with highly manipulated prices,
selling outdated machinery overpriced and engaging in diplomatic relationships only to secure the biggest
possible share of available ressources. For poverty and hunger to sincerly addressed as global problems the
trade between EU and Africa for instance has to be done on a basis of a partnership between equals.Food
industry lobbyist are not the ideal people to shape these policies and the EU should live up to is ambitions and
seel help and council, not from special interest groups but genuine experts on such subjects. Respectfully, me
It's part of the economy that their are good and bad economical times. It's the task of the European Union to
make the bad times "acceptable", "possible to survive". A crisis is an opportunity for new sorts of economy and
also for the "old" sorts of economy to change their way of production. The EU should give maximal support to
big companies with many employes, but also to little companies, because in the future their will be more litte
companies for the same number of employes. Agriculture is the first sort of energy who needs support of the
EU, and that bad news. Farmers shouldn't have the need of support of EU. But than we need a different way
of economy and trade.

I live in Athens (Greece), a city of 4 million people. Daily life here is becoming worse and worse because of
the increasing amounts of aerosols and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Water pollution ( from industrial
wastes) is affecting areas near Asopos river . Another important issue of my country is the unemployment of
young educated people especially because there are not many jobs or opportunities for them here in Greece.
Unfortunately in my country , mosts of Greeks believe that the only way to find a job , to build a house , to start
a business is through political corruption and politicians on the other hand are using it as the only way to
gather votes and get authority
Employment is the most important thing in our life. Gives you security, self-important feeling and way to earn
money, of course. EU must focus whole strenght to job programs - for all people, doesn't matter the grade of
their education. Everyone who wants to work, must have a oportunity to get a job. This must be the basic rule
in EU. Employment, employment and again employment.
223. Achieving the internal market (through harmonisation) (importance: 81%, disagreement: 19,

During difficult (economic) times like these, europe needs to be united. One of the reasons the EU was
founded was to ease and improve trade in and out of europe - which happened - but there is still much to
improve. Protectionism should be reduced to an even lower minimum to make sure the consumer can buy
products at lower prices, even though aided producers will be able to survive their loss of demand thanks to
the minimal funding the government(s) will offer.

EU should focus its energies on making doing and developing business easier, especially for SMEs and
micro-enterprises, because many small enterprises have a great hidden potential to create jobs and wealth,
which remains untapped for many different reasons, especially in enterprises lead by (young) women.
227. The economic crisis (importance: 81%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 22)
The EU should definitely keep on working hard to counter the effects of the economic crisis. And maybe set up
more visual campaigns against poverty caused by the crisis.
228. sustainable development, renewable energy and employment (importance: 81%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 17)
The current EU strategy about reducing CO2 emissions by 20% rely on renewable energy sources by 20%
until 2020 is a noble goal. However, the achieving of these goals seem very unlikely. In my opinion, the EU
should promote more ambitious plans. Not only for sustainability, but because it could mean economical
benefits. In my opinion the following measures should be taken: -Concentrating research on how to make
green technologies economically viable, making them ready for mass production in order to push prices
down (i.e. more efficient recycling methods, energy converting, electric cars) . - Ensuring the legal framework
will be there by the time the technology is ready to spread (i.e. regulation on electric cars) - Support to
establish proper infrastructure (i.e. more recycling points) - create proper framework for education (starting
from elementary schools) to make the upcoming generations more cautious on global issues. These points
could be very useful not just for society but also for the EU and even for member states: establishing and
maintaining the new infrastructure, training of workers to new manufacturing methods can create jobs, while
creating a more cautious generation could more involvment in EU affairs thus reducing democratic deficit.
New, cheap clean technologies could mean a surge of exports as well, and would bring an example of an
alternative economical way, thus increasing the prestige of the EU as a global actor.
229. Unemployment, crisis, education, health (importance: 81%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 21)
Effective confrontation of unemployment via drastic measures, with focus on sensitive groups of populations.
Restructure of educational systems throughout Europe. Fund studies and mobility of students and workers.
Set Health issues on the spot of the EU agenda.

230. Technology (importance: 81%, disagreement: 4, evaluations: 5)
It's been too long that EU has been focusing on agricultural and commercial policies. I believe a strong and
common act on technology can and will improve life, enviroment, economy and the european status globaly.
We must focus on new technology. We must become the leading power in innovation, new eco-friendly
technology, new power technologies that will reduce EUs need for fossil fuels and new communication
solutions. The World must look up to Europe to what it really is: the calm-power that can and will suggest
another way of life.
improve cross-border movement and mutual recognition of degrees and training to allow for a fully free flow of
labour and full labour mobility
232. Science, technology, social integration (importance: 81%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 11)
Science and technology have improved our daily lives by a very large amount. Further improvement of this
kind relies on funding for science and a creation of centres of excellence. In comparison with the American
universities, our best universities suffer from the lack of funding and endowment. This could be remedied
by creating a fund giving certain universities, deemed best according to a set of criteria, very large sums of
money. Such policy has a potential to attract the very best minds to the universities thus chosen and would in
this way significantly improve the European scientific landscape. Social integration: Here what I have in mind
is a social integration on the European scale. To this end I would propose implementing a form of the Swedish
education system in other EU countries. In particular, I would copy their use of English in the schools. English
could play the same role in Europe as Mandarin plays in China, it could be the language that binds us together
and our various accents would make us European. Such policy would go a long way to reinforce the European
identity.

235. ECONOMIC CRISIS (importance: 81%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 14)
THE RECENT ECONOMIC CRISIS PROVE THAT THE LIBERAL APPROACH IN ECONOMY DOESN'T
SEEM TO WORK.EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SOME ACTION TO HELP IMPROVE THE ECONOMY
I DON'T THINK THAT FUNDING IN BANKS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.UNEMPLOYMENT THERE
SHOULD BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE EU.I THINK THAT NEW POSITIONS AND NEW JOBS SHOULD
BE INTRODUCED IN AREAS LIKE GREEN ENERGY,RESEARCH,HEALTH SYSTEM.AS FAR AS IT
CONCERNS TO LOANS I THINK THERE SHOULD BE PUT SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
BORROWING FROM A BANK.

239. Economic and ecological issues , employment, enlargement. (importance: 81%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 11)
Young and old , we all know the most difficult situation a European can find himself, just as any other human
being on Earth, is to lack the means to take care of his loved ones: parents, husband, children. While it is
true that crisis can provoke smart innovations and good ideas to come out of each of us ( Einstein ), on the
long run it can create a state of dispair and depression that would not only impede on the growth of Europe
s population but will turn against the principles we are basing Europe and European Union on today. By
taking care of our generations we must create a better view of the economic and ecologic future we want the
European generations to come to live in. We must acknowledge its diversity and embrace it. This way the
economical and internal market stability will ensure a viable reply to the needs of our chidlren. This way all our
ancestors efforts and ours as well won t heve been in vain . A new instrument must be created and included
in the Treaty of Lisbon to allow new Member States to assume more responsability towards the creation and
the continuation of the EU ' s goals in the 22 century. Fears must be overcomed. A good startegy for inclusion
can create an incredible added value to our culture. EU has no limits just boudaries to keep its citizens safe.
This should be understood by all people. I am very pround I work with Europeans of multiple nationalities and
I hope EU s door will open soon to new candidate countries.
theres a risk of real global economic depression. it must be countered at any price
241. Competition and balancing the power of multinationals (importance: 81%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 13)
I believe the EU has a fantastic chance to improve competition within member states, and balance the
dispropoportionate power multinationals have acquired. A good example of these actions was the one by
commissioner Reding intervening on mobile carriers' unjustified charges on roaming tariffs. Also former
commissioner Monti gave a few important examples in several situations (i recall Microsoft case, for instance).
The EU should also -in my humble opinion- work to increase the cross border coordination and integration of
consumers associations and agencies. The EU could greatly benefit from the support received from a truly
European consumer association in this field.
242. Quality of life and security of the jobs. (importance: 81%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 4)
Because the EU is first economic power of the world and we like to believe that they are not two Europe’s
(West Europe and East Europe), the REUNITED Europe must act the same for its citizens in this two major
issues: quality of life and security of the jobs especially in this economical crisis period.
The E.U should ensure the rights and privalages of all E.U workers and attempt to equalise workers rights,
pay and hours of work accross Europe.

the increasing number of unemployments is anxious to me it´s hard to understand why well educated,
ambitious, targeted young professionals (like me) always get temporary contracts. Therefore, it´s hard to
become a "senior adviser" respectively it´s hard to become more professional in your work area. if you never
can focus on certain (working-) issues because you have to look for a new job every 2 years you will get
frustrated (and maybe also unemployed).

249. Recession,Unemployment,Poverty,Crime,Environment,Corruption. (importance: 81%, disagreement:
14, evaluations: 8)
I feel that the recent economic crisis has been motivated by international bankers and most people are
taking a hit in the current financial situation.Jobs have been lost,poverty is on the rise and the middle
class is suffering.We MUST NOT let Europe become a third world society.Please,strengthen the incomes,I
don't know how you do it,but that's YOUR job.I have some ideas in mind,like investing in green energy
technologies,which could create more jobs and solve the energy problem and save our environment.There
are countries that are very dependent on oil.This MUST be stopped.Also,you have to stop malicious banking
activity.The banks,these vultures,have always been trying to make profit out of hard working people's money
and businesses with creative ideas. About corruption,I can say that I live in Greece,one of the most corrupted
countries in the world.I really love this place,but I hate to see it as the country of lost potential.Find a way to
make our politicians more democratically sensitive,because I can't take this any more.There's a new scandal
revealed every week here and this situation makes me feel I'm not in Europe,but in the third world. Crime-
well,that's a tricky matter.People's ideas differ on how crime develops in a city or state.Certainly,the financial
situation doesn't help. About member-state foreign policy,I think that Greece is being let down by Europe all
the time.Please don't let countries like FYROM usurp our history.As Europeans,you have to support us.

253. Energy market and liberalisation (importance: 81%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 6)
I think EU should find a concensus among the members in order to have one clear strategy regarding the
improvement of energy distribution lines and market liberalisation. So far, EU members are in different
possinions in terms of condition of their distribution lines as well as market rules. There are still a lot of
protectionism in this field. In our case it is monopoly structure, which is totally unaffective. There is also threat
that EU neighbours, which have energy resources will start to make influence on some EU members which
can turn into general policy issues.
254. Environment, Health Care, Safety, Economy, Education (importance: 81%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 14)
What to say... There's less and less quality of life in big cities. Less green, less safety, less education, less
money, less care. We're trying to cope with everyday life and the lack of quality in it. See the politicians and
some guys get richer, see all this effort to recess the economy (for the rich or the poor?) and yet nothing can
really be done. We need better quality of life. We all need to try for this. And politicians need to stop being
money making hypocrits. That's what we need. Think you can do this?
255. Free trade (importance: 81%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 14)
In times of global economic recession, poverty and lack of competitiveness, protectionism, economic

Helping giving jobs, before humans get economic and depressive catastrophes in their lives. Faster, and with
happy earning at least.
258. Free economy VS regulation (importance: 80%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 6)
The Keynesian age has come to an end, since Reagan and Thatcher, which gave birth to a wild, speculative
global capitalism. Everyone knows capitalism produces wealth but I believe that, as an economic system, it is
not as good at producing equality. That happens because it has a distributive problem. I think the new wealth
of the nations is their population, and we should invest to make sure EU citizens will be more empowered,
more educated, more socially responsible and that only comes with better economic chances.

260. Energy Independence, Innovation, Job creation (importance: 80%, disagreement: 2, evaluations: 3)
Europe has the ability to become energy independent with the right innovation... As a bloc there is no problem
in becoming energy independent (and without excessive use of outdated nuclear technology). Once this is
managed, then the bloc, as a whole can have a real, tangible, and sustainable competitive advantage. This
is a key requirement. We all know about the theoretical "Gains from trade" (from Richardo et al). However,
this is lazy. This makes us lazy. Without scarcity, we lose our ability to innovate. We need a challenge to
overcome. If we don't think about overcoming those challenges, we will no longer be able to overcome them
when they really arise. So, how do achieve this? We do it by creating a new innovative industrial base. We
self-regenerate. Specifically, we must ask: what can be done to help small businesses get up and going, or
get to the next stage of growth, employ more people, and help the economy? - The first answer we have -
hand out the tools... Arrange schemes whereby small companies / individuals could get access to useful and
interesting tools (often software) at a price that makes sense (Pay-per-play)... It may sound trivial, but the
costs are not that trivial. There are a number of good reasons for this... Competition (they have it in China!),
Scale (in a small company, multi-tasking is absolutely essential), Self-regeneration (tools have changed, and
are needed) - Then - use the competitive advantage to do more...
261. unemployment, transport and infrastructure (importance: 80%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 9)
I come from the north west of ireland, an area of ireland that has a skilled work force but little or no
employment in the region with companys leaving the area for the lucrative eastern european states.
The government in dublin are not doing anything to sustain development in the area and there is poor
infrastructure in the area and no public transportonly buses. I would like the EU to take great interest in the
periphery of Ireland and make it attractable for developement in the area, we are on the atlantic ocean with a
port in killybegs that can be transformed into other uses as the fishing industry declines. The North West and
West of Ireland need a new lease of life and i want the EU to help us because we are the forgotten region
within our own country !
262. Ballanced economic development (importance: 80%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
Economy is the background of any society - since it creates wealth. However, the current economic crisis
urges for the balanced and responsible economic policies - in terms of optimal speed of growth as well as of
number of sectoral, regional and global balances; and for complete understanding of the realities of today’s
economy, which is very different from that it was even 10-20 years ago. The today’s worldwide economy is
networked economy, with some of the networks creating the wealth which is greater than GDP of some of the
countries as well as having global connections which are above the national or even supranational regulators.
263. Training for unemployed graduates. (importance: 80%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 9)
One problem particularly affecting my life at the moment is unemployment. There are many young graduates
now who are finding it very difficult to find an appropriate job in a sector that interests them. Due to the
economic crisis many companies are not recruiting new graduates with no experience, so things are
particularly difficult right now. I think the EU could do more to encourage training schemes and encourage
companies to recruit young graduates.
264. Unemployment, financial crisis ,pollution ,injustice (importance: 80%, disagreement: 13, evaluations:
16)
If we do want to change our life , make a compassionate and fair society and protect the environment we live
in ,its reasonnable to see things in a more humanistic way .European Union must be built again considering
its values and goals.It must a be union of people who feel equal and able to participate ,to play role in political
things and decide all together about the future.Citizens must feel they can play political roles and take
initiatives . And this is so important when we come to the point to discuss seriously about financial crisis and
what can be made .Its a problem influences all of us and we need to change our point of view becoming more
rational in what we buy and consume. Its a hard period and we must know we will sacrifice things in order to
get through this crisis and loose only material things but not humanity and faith in people .

269. Unemployment-insecured jobs- (importance: 80%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 16)
In the place where i live but also jeneral in Greece, the unemployment of young people and the flexible
working conditions (working for the public sector as self-employed person) is one of the most crucial problems
in Greece. For example in my region the unemployment rate is around 15% stable for many years! From
the other hand, many people who work in the public sector for certain time frame do not have any rights
and usually stay unpaid for a large period. (could reach 1 year!) This is a rather 'technical' way to show
lower unemployment because the people who work in the public sector are not paid but cannot count as
unemployed people. In the private sectror the salaries are quite low, with the employers do not respect the
working laws and the rights of employees. Of course this is not always the case. There are also some good
employers either in the public or the private sector but I could say that these are just the exception.
At the times of such crisis it is highly important to do everything that is possible in order to try to keep all
Member States on the right track. Not every EU country can afford stimulus packages it self and that's where
EU can help.

273. Economical strength (importance: 80%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 14)
I think the EU should focus constantly on its competitivity compared to other regions in the world. Try to keep
or expand a leading edge in the economic areas and functions with the highest added value.
274. employment and social stability (importance: 80%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 8)
unstable employment and lack of social stability during the crisis
275. Job, international jobs, failing traditional markets (importance: 80%, disagreement: 12, evaluations:
8)
I think people should have direct automatic information to any job on any part of the EU, a data base not just
for hiring, but for creating enterprises, allowing schools/uni to get protocols, letting people find alternative
countries, markets and jobs in their areas. The traditional markets should be helped to be internationalized,
most of the traditional products are not exported and I wouldn't be surprised if there was Chinese people
interested to buy a lot of the traditional pottery from my town. This way traditional and high quality products
could have a fair fight against cheap mass imports.
276. Energy markets and climate change (importance: 80%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 14)
The EU should take the moral lead, dominate the discussion and the measures taken. National governments
talk, but hardly walk. Energy companies are transnational already, let supervision and policy making go there
as well.
277. work,energy,economic situation,banking (importance: 80%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 7)
278. Increase investments in science (importance: 80%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 10)
EU has no really big natural goods (for example gas, oil, mines and so on), nor it has big amounts of
manufacturing. So i think you should increase investments in scientific researches in physics, chemistry and
it, so we could become a leading spot of science in world. Look at USA or eastern countries - they invest in
science a lot and their production amounts of hi tec devices are increasing rapidly.
279. Programms (research, supporting etc.) of EU (importance: 80%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 8)
Easier ways of realization the calls of EU for participating in calls, for instance 7FP, where only the established
organizations such as large Universities and Research Centers and have collaborations. In this way, small
entities from small countries, let say the University of Western Macedonia in Kozani, Greece, where I
teach Fluid Mechanics, is deterministically drived to disregard. The same also for SME and, in gereral, for
enterprisies to have economical support by the EU. In each call the criterions become "harder and harder",
giving opportunities only in well established entities. This is a real problem in small countries!
280. genius in the attic research (importance: 80%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 8)
EU promotes institutionalised research, i.e. many scientists from many countries collaborate on a joint effort
of paneuropean interest. This is fine for incremental research, but real quantum leaps in science was never
achieved this way. All societies of the past had their "strange" people who in the solitude of their undemanding
day job --or by being patricians with no need for one-- produced some of the most weird theories and
conducted their experiments.

281. An EU social/economical way of life (importance: 80%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 7)
Today EU is particulary invole in economic aspect of european citizens life. I think that building a new model
well balancing with sociological meaning could offer to each citizen the pride of being european. An EU plan
for employement security, good healthcare and childness could make people confident with future.

283. Research, Development and Design are not enough supported (importance: 80%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 14)
We have difficulties competing with developing countries, and this is made worse by the fact that we have
slowly abandoned innovation at the industry level. 20 years ago, a lot of industries would imagine and build
their own machines. Now they work on standard machine and what makes a difference is often more the
marketing rather than the product or the way it is built. Practical research should be encourage, creation
and innovation should be supported since childhood through education. Seeing that design is not only what
the product/tool/machine looks like but how it works should foster more innovation Copying ideas should be
recognized, except when huge investments are needed. But IT innovations should not be protected. It is not
normal to have lawyers making more money than our inventors.
I believe that working opportunities should be more explained and developped so that people can really feel
the impact of being in the EU. If noone has a job that fits their ideal, they cannot see the usefulness of a
Union.
Stimulate the economy, not by lowering taxes for all companies, but by lowering taxes for companies who
contribute to ethical, moral, ecological alternatives. Give subsidies to companies who pollute less,... Stimulate
innovation in industries that have a future and are wanted in Europe. So a big yes to green high-tech
industries and a big no to industries that are doomed in Europe like agriculture,...

I'm a student in Maastricht of European Studies. This is my last year in June I'll finally get my bachelor. I've
been studiung this subject for three years, and I think that the main problem of the EU is its complexity. If any
person who's not a specialist in the field will try to get some information about europe and its mechanism will
find himself trapt into an overcomplicated environment. I think one of the main objective of the EU will be to
simplify its mechanism in order to get closer to ordinary people.
288. Police & law, maybe healt care, trade, education, transport (importance: 80%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 12)
- I think police and law are very important. It is difficult to have the police deal with crime over internet for
example because there is no obvious place where the crime is committed. Also the laws in some countries
and others are different, leading to confusion and abuse. - maybe health care, now already that is going quite
good, but to have the opportunity to use specific treatment in other countries without you having to pay for it
personally should be possible. - trade is one main and big thing Europe is doing well, it's our strength, so let's
not neglect it. - education, is quite different everywhere. It should be made possible more for students to get a
budget from the EU to go study in other countries than your own. Totally depending on your own budget and
what your home country provides. But EU must work with students and help them search for places to live to
start their eduction. - transportation, it is so expensive in certain countries! and than in other it is totally not.
And in some it is very bad, as a student I do not have a car to go everywhere. Public transportation should be
better connected and cheaper.

My town is located in mountains having an extraordinary natural environment. I think the nature conservation
should be maintained. However, I suffer from difficulties of travelling to another locations because the
infrastructure is very badly constructed. I also think the EU should supervise the competition towards the
citizens protection. I mean that the competition minimis approach affects negativelly mostly countryside
countries which appear to have the poorest and unable citizens.

How long will it last?Is there any answer close to reality?What will be the situation after this crisis?The "social
state" as anyone knew it in Europe, will come back?I believe the answer is no! Less social rights for the
working people (maybe and worst...). I hope that there will be a well-planned common way to face thw swine
flu...
I think that especially in time of economic crisis the member states of the European Union should coordinate
their efforts in order to help one another. I know my country, Greece, probably is an insignificant one when
compared with other bigger countries of the Union, but this does not mean that it should be left alone during
this period. You all know that Greece is borrowing money from the international markets and with conditions
that are much worse for us, than they are for Germany for example... This is unacceptable! Where is your
solidarity then? If my country is obliged to borrow "expensive" money, then my government will have to cut
spending in all sectors... They will freeze the salaries in the public sector (they already have frozen salaries
for 2009!), they will not make public works, they will send people to unemployment, they will increase taxes,
they will make our lives a living nightmare! And if we don't have money and feel uncertain for our future, then
we will not buy goods and we will not spend money for tourism, which, as you can certainly understand,
will create problems for the commerce and tourism sectors too! So, helping member states in difficulty is
imperative, because if you don't, we just don't need the Union...

A better organized and useful education system to make students to want to be educated. Health system
equal for everybody and better oganized hospitals and cleaner. Construction of places for poor people with
good food, clean beds and doctors. Help them to find a job. Give jobs to young people. Pay them good and
respect them. Young people dont have to beg for a job and feel useless coz people with connections and less
qualifications get the good jobs but hey are not able to help the country. More respect for imigrants. The fact
that they leave their countries for a batter fututr doesnt mean that we are better and that we have the right to
hiumiliate them, pay them less and say that they are responsible for criminality and drugs. Give options to

304. competitiveness of EU economies (importance: 79%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 12)
EU needs to become more competitive than what it is today. - labor costs are extremely high - even innovation
is more and more outsourced to lower cost regions - etc. ... so, we need to re-develop competences in the EU

305. work, employment (importance: 79%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 16)
There may be some innovative propositions regarding employment which is a really important issue especially
now. There is no miracle solution but improvements have to be defined in order not to see the situation get
worst.
306. EU should focus on economic issues. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 8)
Economics is important area because people firstly are in need of economic security and later matters cultural,
education and so on. So the most important is to reduce poverty and to biult up midle-class society.
307. financial stability, creation of jobs, climate change (importance: 79%, disagreement: 12, evaluations:

308. A more social economy based on longterm goals (importance: 79%, disagreement: 17, evaluations:
10)
There is not enough long term thinking in the private sector. Every manager is working for his bonus and
his bonus only and every year they have another short term goal. Long term planning can help in realising
a more social economy which is not based on profit and more profit and more profit. Profit is good but a
boundary is necessary. Blindly chasing after profit is wrong!
309. research (importance: 79%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 11)
310. school, employment (importance: 79%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 3)
Form a central dogma for a new economic era. The way research activity was described, supported and
developed through shaping the European Research Area, maybe we are in need of a new form of New
European Economy Area. Support synergistic activities, and see the big picture. If German workers lose their
work, they want be able to come to Greece for summer holidays. Hotel managers and restaurant owners in
Crete, Aegean and Peloponese will have to cut down on their staff, meaning less greeks will by the BMs the
Renaults and the Volvos
312. job oportunities (importance: 79%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 16)
313. Job security and creation. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 19)
I would like to see EU focus on making people more confident and secure about their job and livelihood,hence
providing them with the confidence to spend money and get the economy moving again!
314. Economy, social security and other pan-eu projects (importance: 79%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 12)
A stronger Europe means a better Europe to me. As longs as the European Union will not control the vital
elements of countries the EU will be no more than a club of countries that make pseudo-important decissions.
315. Education, higher education, research (importance: 79%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 11)
We should strengthen our support to public, cheap and quality education institutions. This is because some
countries are still low on higher-education degrees. We should provide citizens with the tools to be more active
in social and technological change. This is where public higher-education institutes and research centres
come to play. The EU should finance more of these in order to create a better and more competitive Europe!
316. help to find the first employment (importance: 79%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
I graduated recently in Political Science, and even though I have the best grades, finding a job is extremely
hard. Most of the empolyers ask for at least 2 years of professional experience for an entry-level post.
Graduates are therfore forced to do internships, that most of the time are unpaid even if the load of work is
the same as a normal employer. The EU should regulate this matters in a way that is more convenient to
the graduates, investing in the youth is the only way to go trough the current economic crisis. Expand the
Leonardo or Erasmus Placement program, make it more easy and independent from the heavy university
bureaucracy, easier access to bank loans..there are several way to facilitate our life and reward those who are
willing to work hard!

318. Farmers need access to technology, including biotechnology (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 7)
The current GMO moratorium on approvals of new products is tying the hands of Europe's farmers. Farmers
need access to the same technologies as farmers elsewhere around the world. These same technologies
have demonstrated that they can help to reduce the impact of agriculture on the environment (ex. reduced
pesticide usage) while sustainably supporting agriculture and food production by increasing production with
reduced inputs and land usage while generating higher profits and greater invcome security for farmers.
Europe has been held hostage by the fear-mongers and so called environmental activists for too long - our
politicians need to be brave, support the science and give farmers access to this technology. Mr President,
you have shown a trust in science and an urgency to move forward in allowing our farmers access to this
technology - I support and commend you in this, but urge that without an approval, your courage, energy and
leadership will have been wasted.
319. Economic changes, inovation, New step (importance: 79%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 6)
If we want to get out of economic crisis and recession we must build, we must make everything for
development, this can only happen if we just simply in 10 years end the dependence of oil, and power by
magnets, hydrogen etc. This can only happen if we encourage innovations by making them real. That means
the true battle against climate change and making a new step and new future.
320. Bank competition (importance: 79%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 5)
Hi Mr Barroso, I'm asking many questions to myself in those times of recession. Why always states prone for
more competition and when a service is well done by the state and makes profits, those profits are not used to
make that particular state run branch work even better or used on other branches that may loose money but
are critical to the well being of the society as a whole. Instead, they are liberalised, so that all the investments
made and all the money spent to raise this service are eaten by a group of private entrepreneurs (or banks I
should say because nothing is possible without them). This brings me to the other point of my thinking, why
don't we change our whole politics on banks ? USA made a revolution and broke with England because the
king wanted that the colonies borrowed money to the bank of England, opposed to the system they had in
the USA at that time. Why can't we do our peacefull revolution, after we injected in the banks as much money
needed to feed the world for six month, why don't we give ourselves the opportunity to live in a society that is
a little more fair, sustainable and slave of the whole concept of debt and competition. For example why don't
we create a complete pubblic bank that lends money at no interests to compete with the modern commercial
banks, who do you think would win ?
321. Life in Greece is too expensive and salaries are too low. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 9)
Many people in Greece believe that salaries in private sector are too low if you think that employees in public
sector work 7 hours a day and get paid more. An employee (having a middle positision of responsibilities)
in private sector get paid the most 800-850 and the same employee in the public sector get paid 1000-1500
euro per month. This is why most people in Greece want to work for the public sector,plus you never fired!
Life is too expesive. We have the lower salaries in Europe and the same or even more expensive prices in
some goods. We produce cheece or milk for example.And its better for us to go to England or Germany to
buy the same milk or cheece because its cheaper!!!! And expept from all the above,our social security system!
You pay 400 euros per month (when you get paid 800 euros)and its better for you to pay a visit to a private
doctor if you really want to know what is going on with you! Our social security servants don't have the right
eqipments to examine you and at last, they dont pay attention to us. I believe that public servants must adopt
a new philosophy for their work. work the same hours with private servants and the most important must stop
get paid all the extra money that they call "benefits".
322. health, environment, jobs, future, technologie, economics (importance: 79%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 13)
I believe Europe should keep on thinking about a green future. Economics and technologies are very
important, yet, we must make sure that our world will still be there for our children and their offspring. Our
generation is facing hard times. Econimics are failing, moral is failing, belief is fading, values are failing,
traditions are fading... Europe will have to find an answer for the future. A new world must be created, but first,
we need to make sure that we know what we want!
The Commission has an important role in - disciplining member states to follow growth oriented structural
and macrofinancial policies. - establish european norms for products and processes on safety, environment,
consumer and labor protection that can form the basis for the EUs input into global norms so that a level
playing field is preserved - making all EU policies future oriented nand shift money to this effrect on the
budget.

324. Economy: Let's face it we are in a mess. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 16)
I realise there is very little that can be done in this respect as we have been enjoying a great lifestyle with the
money of tomorrow for too long. However, nobody has any better ideas to beat the crisis but get banks loaning
each other so that we can do the exact same thing all over again... Frankly, liberal capitlism is about as
workable and leninist socialism (and maoist and all the variations we've tried). Someting different is needed.
As borders fall wold-wide and distances shrink, it is capital the reaps the benefits of improved business.
Governments and trade unions are still largely fractured and in total discord with each other. The only realistic
solution is : 1) That governments world-wide and trade unions work together and do the following. 2) Create a
relatively slow-growth but sustainable technology based world economy. 3) Regulate it jointly with a common
regulations base that is differentiated accordingly by the community to suit local needs in different countries
accordingly. 4) Stop liberalising key industries. Privatisation is not always the answer. Some things are also
not meant to make a profit but return benefits indirectly. I know this is impossible to make given that most
world governments are to selfish to take part in such initiative. But starting the paradigm from home in the EU
would be a great step forward.
325. economic development (importance: 79%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 16)
326. environment,education,employment,research.culture.communicat (importance: 79%, disagreement:
first of all it should focus on environmental issues.Help countries not as developed or equipped to do their
best for the sake of all of us.It should train,educate and finance efforts towards the benefit of the environment.
Education.we need a unified-all european education system,with the same standards and levels for all
member countries.Its the best way to create an all-europoean economy and working market.Giving all
european citizens the same skills and chances to succed in an all european market.Guide people to do
what they are best at,what there is need for and encourage them with specific measures, to move in order
of a better future.Employment.we need a observation-control system of the working market.Its ways and
methods should be closely monitored.We shouldn't allow ruthless profit-making to be the guide of our socities.
Research.we shouldnt rely on pharmaceutical companies,which their motivation is making profit and nothing
else,for cures and new treatments.The eu should create research centers,gather and sponsor its greatest
minds,and whoever wants to offer,in order for the world benefit.Culture.In rough times,such as now people
tend to forget the culture of their soul.Artists and philosophers,look uneccesary to a society thats trying
to survive on a daily basis.We shouldnt allow that to happen.The eu should support all forms of art ,new
ideas,new philosophies.Our best chance to become one whole is by communicating. Everybody must have
access to forms of communicati
327. Technology;innovation; education; culture; investigation (importance: 79%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 15)
I think European Union should focus on the the development of technology and innovation networks, bringing
forward its competitiveness capability and investigation effort. Investigation is a key-point for future European
prosperity. Universities and Professors should have more finantial incentives to implement investigation as an
extra-curricular activity and students should be likewise supported and encouraged to set up new business
opportunities, vital to European survival, prestige and economic development. Europe should act as a whole
cohese organisation, bringing closer citizens, politicians, governments, academies and enterprises to better
respond to economic times of uncertainty and new emerging challenges. Further opportunities for economic
cooperation among industry should be provided so that Europe may conquer new strategic markets beyond
its borders and to increase the dissemination of knowledge and technology transfer within. Vital to Europe is
the increase of its educational standards, providing the opportunity to implement in schools new experimental
practice in sciences learning and ICT innovative usage in the several cross-fields of knowledge. Implement
new forms of creative teaching and learning by resorting to ICT. Foster European mobility programmes among
school organisations is vital to bring up in students an European awareness as well as a sense of identity.
Finally, take care for its patrimony and preservate its cultural heritage.
329. employment for the youth (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 6)
economic stimulus is today geared to eliminate toxic assets from bank accounts, to offset the financial
consequences of bad management and lack of regulation of the financial sector, notably hedge funds which
were totally free of any control. Banks have offered credit to unsolvable debitors, have ruined them and all the
hope they had in the capitalist system. Today equivalent stimulus should be given to those which need it the
most, to the unemployed people, it is key to foster training and give young people a chance to earn their living.
This should be a key priority of Europe and one area of EU integration where much progress is still needed.

331. Security policy, immigration, environment, free trade (importance: 78%, disagreement: 9,
evaluations: 7)
I love the EU to focus on the big things that keep the European Peoples safe and secure and get us closer
together. I don't think the EU should focus on details and local issues.
332. Facilitation of free movement of employees (importance: 78%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 10)
I think that the EU should concentrate in reducing the hurdles as well as the administration of movement
to work between the member states (in all respects as social insurance, recognition of diplomas etc.). In
my opinion there are still a lot of hurdles that hinder free movement of labour between the member states.
Moreover, I think that the movement of labour both among the member states as well as within the member
states shall be promoted and supported by measures on european level. Interconnected with this area are
also measures that would facilitate integration of the migrated labour in the receiving memebr states.
333. Environment, Education, Economy, Immigration, Culture (importance: 78%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 4)
I'd like EU to pay more attention to environmental issues such as carbon emissions, natural life conservation
and energy/water management. Education opportunities must be given to everyone; continuous education
is the key. No more risks and bad decisions at financial planning; poor people does not owe to pay others'
mistakes. More careful policies for immigrants... Europe needs people that deserve to live here and of course
doesn't need people that can't appreciate it Cultural exchanges with East, cultural development of rural areas
is needed for the existence of equivalency between big urban centers and smaller cities.
334. global warming - economy - state of the dipraved / disabled (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 18)
Pollution, global warming, water resources should be on top of the list simply because our children will be
much more affected than we are. If we care about them if we want them to keep living in a decent world,
then EU policies should be set in motion towards this direction. It's not a question whether we can reduce
emissions, stick to the Kioto protocole or punish the violators, it's a case of simple human or better still
parental sensitivity of those in charge. Synergies between countries, and exploitation of all those who want to
help should set the first step towards fighting the problem. It's not the leaderships of the countries who can
do it, it's the people within the countries. However, leaderships and governments can inspire simple people.
As far as the economy is concerned the problem is not poverty, the problem is not the world crisis, but it is
much simpler and we all know it; it is a matter of how wealth is divided. It is simple mathematics (which does
not have any relation to politics whatsoever). If each one of the 6.7 billion people had half a million dollars,
everyone in the world would be rich and still the money the banks have received as an extra aid would not
finish.
335. Undistorted competition in the internal market (importance: 78%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 14)
The EU must not allow distortions of competition in the internal market through protectionist policies like state
aid etc. (Example: French car industry)
336. Education, migration, green jobs, unemployment, crisis (importance: 78%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 15)
Need for equality in labour market. Equality in all fields of action. Green way if thinking in everything we do.
Face unemployment with instant drastic measures. Standardisation of financial standards.
337. better employment opportunities (importance: 78%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 20)
338. Encouraging Innovation in Europe (importance: 78%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 18)
the EU is making big declarations but never applies this in day-to-day actions. the use of ag biotech is a
typical case. Nothing is moving - young scientists are leaving europe the rest of the world is moving and
poiliticians decisons are dictated by a few activists groups (heavily fuinded by the EC by the way !!!) without
taking into considerations the need a the "silent majority" .

339. Mobility, Economy, Defense, Foreign Policy (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 7)
At first, I would like to say that Europe should focus on this four subjects, and leave everything else to the
regions itself... Mobility needs to be in European hands. The only way forward is the way of getting the
problems out. Every citizin in Europe will grow in value of life when the mobility is arranged well. Big citys like
Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin etc. need to be brought back in motion. Every day the people stand still
there. Europe has to lead the works on infrastructure in whole the continent and has to build up a research
bureau. Because when the mobility is increased, the economy will follow. Europe has to stop making al those
rules and has to simplify the laws, decrease and unify the taxes and so on. After the economie is repeared,
Europe has to build op a central army with for instance a kind of Pentagon in Strasbourg and training camps in
the countrys wich offer the best training. Navy in Britain and Holland, Airborn in France, Landforce in Germany
and Poland, Special Forces in Belgium etc... When Europe has a united economy, a linked net of roads,
railways, subways and so on, we can put ourselves back into the leading role we have always played in the
worl politics. The time of America is over, Obama is isolating again. Europe has to take this chance, reform
and take the lead !

Are you sure that European Union is able to control globalisation? I don't believe so! Why Europe did not
resist enough to the desastrous projects of neoliberalism? How governments can take back their lost control
on their nationals economies? Why do we go back to a severe protectionism, which corresponds to a racist
exclusion? Why do we try now to resolve the problem of financial crisis and we did not take action in the past
by puting limits to the banks. Where is the global capital? It is not surely a bird!!! How will Europe create new
posts of employment, when governments are not any more able to control investements?

Employment focus is not enough. EU needs to focus on unemployment in every memberstate
344. Energy, foreign policy, labour market, tolerance, (importance: 78%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 5)
First of all I think the EU should focus on energy issues. It's dangerous to encourage big coroporations that
develop coal technologies, however clean might they seem. I'm worried seeing how strong coal lobby is, for
example in my country - Poland. CCS is not a solution. Speaking with one voice in external relations is also
important. Why couldn't we harmonise our positions while negotiating with Russian Federationm especially
during crisis? Thank you for what you do, anyway. I bless the fact I can live in the times with almost no limits.
As witnessed today, April 2, at the G20 summit, nations must agree on both stimulus and regulations
346. Competition issues, environment, pan European transport (importance: 78%, disagreement: 24,
evaluations: 7)
EU shoud focus on its core competences. Focus is the key word. Competition, consumer protection are visible
and give clear benefit in the eyes of the citizens. Internal market is and shoudl stay at the core of the EU, but
explaining it better to the citizens is clearly needed. The money now spent on structural funds on a country
per country basis should be put firmly in the hands of the Commission to build trans-European transport
connections, like Rail Baltica.
347. job issues (importance: 78%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 10)
i think that eu have to force the issue of the same obligations and rights at jobs within the countries of eu (such
as working hours and conditions in the work enviroment).
348. employment, housing, education (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 9)
stimulate and enable people to go to another country to get a job, and learn languages to be able to do that.
Let people move, without losign their social bebefits ro unemployment
350. education, student jobs, student finance support (importance: 78%, disagreement: 21, evaluations:
13)
In my opinion the EU should focus on to establish a European system of student support. It would be ideal,
if student from all over the EU were entitled to the same financial support in EU countries. Studying abroad
should be supported more, and there should be a lot more help offered to us how to get settled in a new
country.

Is there anybody in the eu whom is thinking between the jobs and the size of the European Union?! I live in
Viennna. It's a multiculture City and a big " Springbord " to east european. Now, when i take look to the future
i am afraid what will be. Many people comes to this place and want an better future for his self! No problem!

353. The "free" market (importance: 78%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 5)
Agriculture policy As I have understood the agriculture policy of today we give a lot of money to France due to
their agricultural policy. But how come we cannot open our bourders a bit towards for example Africa to buy
products from there - the customers would be happy due to the fact that the prices would decrease and the
agriculture in France could develop in another way - instead of taking too much money for producing things
that costs twice as much as African/middle east products. The "free" market The free market is really good!
We get products from all of Europe - but what about the products from outside Europe? Many of the things
that we produce in the EU are things that consumers can buy cheaper if i.e. the African product comes to the
market. We have to open our boarders a bit.
354. cross-border employment (importance: 78%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 9)
simplifying employment in other EU countries, with a prospect to be hired without local language but with
opportunity to study it; wider recognition of foreign work experience and qualifications
355. employability (importance: 78%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 9)
work - is main thing in life of all of us - the place where we can become grownup, realise ourselves, to be
usefull for our comunite, to create and so on...
356. economic viability for all, education, working and vocations (importance: 78%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 13)
Social cohesion and social justice is important. People less "fortunate", who are not born "rich" should not
have to suffer from social unjustice that is currently the case. Everyone should have decent life conditions,
irrespective of gender, IQ factor, beauty or other such parameters. Taking that into account, less people would
be affected by exploitation for money or selling their vote to parties. Being able to guarantee a security level
at basic every-day expenses and comforts for everyone would create a society of less violence and crime.
Utopia is possible. We should stop dividing people in two categories - rich and poor, ugly and beautiful, smart
and stupid, successful and mediocre... All these have to be reflected in an ethical educational and vocational
system. (ethical not meaning strict but having a core of set values acceptable by the majority)
357. The realisation of opening the energy market in Europe (importance: 78%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 4)
It should be adapted to the average income of a nation. There are countries where the citizens have to pay
way too much for their energy (water, electricity, ...) and there a countries where everything is really cheap. I
think there should be a standard price for every form of energy in every country that's a part of the European
Union.
358. The economy of Europe. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 8)
359. Establish the European Institute of Technology (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 8)
It seems like copying the USA but the reality is that we probably need this university (or a series of them).
It could have different faculties in different member states or be altogether in the EU Parliament building in
Strassbourg! IF this is not done soon I think in some years it will be late. The EU should try to project for the
mid and long- term future.
360. Internal market (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 7)
The internal market is and should be the the essence of the EU. To open up the market, to reduce barriers and
create an economy of scale

361. Employment and Unemployment (importance: 78%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
The EU should , as much as allowed by the Member States, try to regulate minimal standards in terms of
Labour law. Trade Unions as well as employer repeatedly call for this. An EU court in charge of Labour law
conflicts should be set up. An EU-wide minimum wage should be set up: not in a fixed amount, but by a fixed
bying power. This means the EU-minimum wage would differ depending on prices in different member states,
but would not depend on the wage averages in those member States. National Authorities would then be free
to set a higher minimum wage than the amount imposed by the EU-wide one. In terms of Unemployment, the
EU should help combat it by putting a strong focus on life-long learning. The globalisation adjustment fund
is a good step, but it needs to be increased 15 or 20-fold to have a true effect. In countries where this is not
offered, the EU should cover continued unemployment benefits for people who decide to pursue further full-
time education as an alternative to prove that they are looking for work. The EU should regulate the amount of
unemployment benefits to insure every unemployed European receives enough to live with dignity.
362. The employment and the european companies (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 9)
This is a crucial question for the European citizens. The financier support is very important to help the
member estates to get a hold on a major employment tax. However the EU should have a major intervention
and accompaniment about the European companies. This action, besides being a real proof that the UE is
concerned about the European citizens, is the best way to help enterprises to restructure themselves in a
European vision of business and employment.
363. EU should help smaller business right to patents (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17, evaluations:

Today a big Company can use its money power over a small competitor over a Patent. EU should verify the
claims and if necessary support the small companies. thus sending a signal not to missuse the legal systems
for the bigger companies own gains

371. defence, politics, economy, social (importance: 77%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 6)
I believe the EU should be built upon a real common defence policy that enable all of us to be protected from
threat beyond european borders. Also, if the EU wishes to be more united on that subject, there has to be
more political understanding amongst the citizens on how the EU really works. Another point relates to the
need for a stronger more comprehensie economic policy. Often we have to rely on an ECB that is not adapted
to the reality of EU members' economy. We shall find a new way to globalize policies in the areas of taxes,
interest rates and employment. Social is the last but not the least important subject. Inequalities are growing
beyond EU borders and now touch more vigorously EU countries. In regards to those growing issues, the
EU commission should be more close to the citizens and explain more clearly what its stance is on the social
issues that the European Union is facing. I believe social also relates to how the EU interacts with developping
countries. We know that a lot of the migrants come from developing countries. The global crisis is making it
more and more difficult to get a handle on problems such as immigration and unemployment. If the EU doesn't
find a solution, there will be a growing fear about the social futur of the Union.

The E.U. has a good start in encouraging investments by funding part of them with the programs that are
running, but it is not enough. The largest obstacle for people that want to start a business is the TAX policies.
The E.U. should enforce a common policy around all of Europe. Here in Greece, many people prefer to work
as employees than start their own business, because the taxes are way to high, reaching at least 40% of the
total income. This of course leads to a 0% growth of the whole country. Arranging the taxes will of course even
encourage citizens from non-E.U. countries to move there funds here and invest their capitals, even in off-
shore companies, which the E.U. could really use for it's own benefit.

The present crisis must be a moment to create new chances for the future. We must developpe new
technologies and invest in innovative new projects. At the same time each country schould invest fully in
infrastructureworks as roads, rails, watertransport and everything that is needed to make transport more
efficient. I think that it is neccessary to protect a crucial sector as the banks, wich are hughely needed to
provide credit for these new industries and private enterprises. I think that one of the priorities must be that
dangereous financial constructions must be better controlled. As for the carindustrie: I believe it is time to
finally invest in the ecological car for the future and the infrastructure needed for that. We must see this crisis
as a real challenge for the world.

382. Remove non tarrif trade barriers for sustainable practice (importance: 77%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 21)
The EU is in practice not a free market. National, regional/provincial and local regulations and standards by
dominant market forces are blocking free trade. Examples from the biggest economical sector, construction:
1. the most used construction material "concrete" is produced according to national prescription based
standards. Lower carbon footprint concrete from the Netherlands is not allowed in Belgium or Germany.
2. More energy efficient plus cheaper German housing techniques cannot be used in the Netherlands. 3.
Concrete made out of recycled waste from a steelplant in Gent Belgium is not allowed in the Netherlands,
etc. With concrete alone we could save with proven practice 600 Million tons of CO2 per year by giving EC
organized "ambulance priority" to the Best Sustainable Practice (in the EU)", going through the red traffic
lights put up by non EU burocracy. This does not require innovations, just a change of mindset and facilitation
by the EC. The Climate & Crisis presents an opportunity for the EC to Change Construction Culture and
respond to the Lisbon and Kyoto/Copenhagen objectives. Within the EC things are not well structured yet.
Climate change concerns DG TREN, DG ENV, DG RES, DG ENT and the most shocking absense is DG
EAC! Through another channel I suggested the appointment of an 2020 objectives highly visable sustainability

it is of no use to talk about a united europe, when many europeans struggle to even survive, since they are
losing their work left and right and in many cases they might be unemployed for more than a year, when they
have families to raise. at a time of crisis that actions are needed most of all, politicians and policy planners are
still discussing the best ways to react, when in reality, they should be acting. thank you.

Europe has a unique social contract with citizens -totaly different the the US or China. This is part of what

we strengthen the economy.
396. Innovation (importance: 77%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 17)
The 2009 year - the year of innovation truly makes a big step towards building up a world in which the
development is the key. Not only the world can be better by improving itself but also by the intellectual work
of people who find new ways of solving todays global issues. The innovation is a motor which turns on the
machinery of the mastermind created of all people by improving and developing better ways to educate and
exchange information. As the societies grow bigger and more complicated the world will need an innovative
look on the arising issues. We cannot predict every issue which will arise as the structures of the societies are
changing. The only way to be always ready for the oncoming issues is to be always ready to think innovative.
Thats the only way the arising difficulties can be quickly resolved. Innovation is needed where there are no
answers in the past. As the world goes on it gets everyday more different from the past. Therefore we must
challenge the arising issues by looking in the future by taking the most from the past. This is what I understand
as the point of innovation. I believe that what the global development brings us is fay beyond our imagination
and I believe that we can challenge the future issues efficiently only by being more and more innovative in
every sphere of life.

The EU must fight to secure the Doha Trade Round. This will require resisting pressures within the EU which

The financial world is merely a broker of liquidity and is as such not producing wealth. However, the financial
world is the richest segment of our economy ( in salaries, buildings, ... ). With its greed, it has generated a
crisis that all citizen must bail out, with - up till now - no rights in return. - More control on financial engineering
( products must qualify to standards as in the pharmaceutical markets ); - No combination of investment

I think this economic crisis offers an opportunity to work on a long-term vision and strategy for our planet and
all beings inhabiting that planet. A green, sustainable and fair future for mankind with new jobs in new sectors,
more sharing between the wealthy and the poor so that people no longer need to migrate for economic
reasons but will be able to to make a decent living and enjoy welfare in their home country if they choose to do
so. Get rid of the big traditional lobby groups paralizing change, get rid of the weapon industry feeding war,
get rid of fear for everything that is different. Respect for our planet and all beings that inhabit it, sustain and
improve biodiversity. World democracy: end human suffering caused by a regime of terror in countries such
as Afghanistan, Myanmar, North Korea, China, many African countries etc. but always respect that no country
is superior to any other country and that we all need each other.

419. Security in economy, family, education, health, environment (importance: 76%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 10)
To help the people in each country, the EU should help all countries to achieve a security in the economy.
Helping the economy of the big companies, the small enterprises, and of each family. Another point I believe
the EU should focus on is the security of the family. A society is formed by millions of families, so it is in the
interest of the state and of an organization like the EU to protect it. Protect the marriage, trying to reduce the
number of problems in the family. This is a very difficult point to develop, but to achieve a exemplar society, all
policies should be created to protected the family and the well being of the children. Furthermore, education
must be a point in which the EU should help countries improve. With the difficulty existing in getting a job, a
better education will help people to work better, in a more effecient way. This will not only improve the skills
that people have, but also improve the economy. Security in the health system must be guarenteed. People
want to be sure that they will have someone to help them when they need, and a better system for health
care is always needed. Finally, environment must be an essential point in the policies of the EU. With global
warming, we are starting to understand that we must change. What better than green policies that will help
countries to be more competitive in a world where the "green energy" is gaining importance?
420. responsabilization of corrupt and/or incompetent governing (importance: 76%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 12)
Portugal seems to be, for the last few decades, ruled (at all levels) by corrupt or incompetent people. This is
visible at all levels of our society. I am tired to see bad (and stupid) decisions taken by the governing bodies
and, worst than that, the lack of responsabilization and punishing for those who should take good care of the
people. This is, of course, a result of corruption (low-level and high-level) and a culture of favours in polithics!
This is WRONG and it's a shame that nowadays some keep doing whatever it's best for THEM and not for ALL
OF US, and go unpunished. I guess this happens also in more EU countries so...someone should take care of
it. How much power and money does one need? How many people one powerfull person/company is allowed
to step over?? Do something about it - and I'm sorry for this one - if you (EU rulers) are really serious and
humane people.

424. The European Union should put emphasis on economy & security (importance: 76%, disagreement:
Taking under consideration that the global financial crisis has created major problems in all European
countries, I think that it is very important that the EU has a persistent and well structured policy on economy
which should apply in all countries. Countries the economy of which has been inflicted the most, should
receive aid from the wealthiest ones so that a minimum financial safety is ensured for all countries, members
of the EU. Another major issue is security. In our days, terrorism & crime have become a threat greater than
war itself. The EU must therefore focus on fighting terrorism and organized crime so that it can eventually
offer its citizens a truly safe environment in which a truly Pan-European culture can flourish. To this end, I
believe it is important that the EU stops its further expansion, and no more countries are included for the time
being. First certain standards should be ensured for the existing EU citizens and then more members should
be added. Last but not least, I believe that the EU should have a certain homogeneity as far as culture, origin
and religion are concerned so as to ensure its viability in the future. The EU cannot just be a geographical and
financial endity - if we want the EU to become an emblem in the minds of its citizens, then they must be able
to feel that the things they have in common are more than the things setting them apart. As such, I believe that
countries such as Turkey have no position in the European Union.

Europe needs a strong commitment to "Social Market Economy": yes to the positive social effects of the
market (creating prosperity, grwoth and employment), giving consumers choice, fostering innovation - but
also yes to a strong legal framework to guarantee fair competition and yes to granting a fair social standard to
those that cannot participate in the competition (like for example old people or single mums).

434. Trade (importance: 76%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 9)
Trade must be more balanced - Greece, in particular, has many severe trade deficits with various nations, both
within and without the EU. These deficits further undermine our local economy and our ability to maintain the
financial standards required for full membership within the EU. Greece is losing more jobs because we import
goods that we could have produced ourselves at a higher price; but that higher price would be offset by the
additional jobs and the taxes collected from those jobs. Expansion is the only true marker of growth.

444. Education, infrastructure, control, research,common language (importance: 76%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 13)
Education affects my life the most at the moment. In my opinion education is the most important part of the
stability and long term development of one country. I have the oppurtunity to study in the Netherlands. Hence,
I am able to compare the differences both positive and negative between Bulgaria and the Netherlands
in terms of facilities, human capital, students. I find the Dutch system quite efficient, influencing all young
people by motivating them to study and work by giving money. I bealive that the tax system in many countries
around European Union should be changed, just because in that way the local governments would be able
to finance such programs. Infrastructure is part of the heart of each economy. Without efficient and effective
infrastructure business loses importan resources, and the comulative effects of time could help for the loss
of enormous capital. Control, is one of the most important things for me in order Europe to be able to stay
stable during the current volatile times. Countries with centuries of experience of free market economy could
help other members develop and execute stronger governmental control of capital resources. The future of
humanity is dependent of energy resources, food and capital. The EU should elaborate on alternative energy
resources and increase the environmental regulations. There should be one second official language for all
members of the UE. This will further develope the union's economy.
445. technological development to utilise alternative power (importance: 76%, disagreement: 25,

The EU should be a leader in innovation in the transition from traditional energy resources to more sustainable

alternative energy accessible to a wider market.
446. Free markets (importance: 76%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 12)
Increase awareness of the benefit of a common an free market, make some propaganda. The commissioners
success in tackling microsoft and the mobile roaming charges: make citizens aware of what they benefited
from this and how individual governments would never have been able to. Open boarders (Schengen), many
of us enjoy it often, yet people have a feeling of insecurity instead of freedom. Make them aware that we
all benefitted from 'the polish plumber' and that open boarders balance wage differences quickly in newbie
countries.

449. Re-education, new economy, reinvent transportation (importance: 75%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 13)
I live in Limburg, a belgian province. In the late 1980's, all the coal mines closed due to low profitability. The
government set up a big education and investment program. Now, almost 30 years later, unemployement is
even lower than it was before the mines closed. We have alot of chemical industry, logistics, technology, etc..
. I believe we can do it again, and we have to. Since I think this so called financial/economic crisis, is really a
structural crisis, caused mainly by lack of market regulation and overproduction. That's why I believe the EU
should invest in education. Education is the basis of the rest of our lives, well educated people means less
violence, less waste,..... a higher awereness tout court. Today, it's mainly young people that invest time and
money in preserving energy and water, because they are educated. About transportation: I live in a rather
small city, with about 40000 inhabitants, but it's more suburbian, about 80km from Antwerp. I work in Antwerp,
and I take the train to work, it takes me about 1h20min. For me, this is acceptable, but alot of people can't
get to work by train or bus. They have to buy cars and drive there. I think if the EU or the local government
fund the transport companies so the can intensify their grid, so that people don't ever have to walk more than
10minutes, alot of people will take the bus. Also, making corporations pay their worker's transport fee will help
alot. This way, families won't have to buy 2 or more cars.

our ressources together? and specialize each country on specific areas? That would mean giving more power
to europe and I assume this is for the best. Last but not least I would like to know what are the results about

evaluations: 7)
To me, the first and most pressing issue is climate change. Everything else is secondary... After that, of
course, the crisis and it's implications. I feel that there should have been a more EU answer, rather than the
chaotic national answers (but member states act as they which). Overall, I believe there should be more
europe: on defense, on foreign affairs, everything to insure a better european weight in international affairs.
457. Entrepreneurship within the EU (importance: 75%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 16)
- simple procedures/ minimise bureaucracy/ unify requirements throughout europe - make it easier for SMEs
to get awarded government projects and participate in funding programs - join forces and export to the world -
common platforms - technology
at any price stop the economic deterioration (environment must be a priority though)

Industry and entrepreneurship ... and so on. Innovation is a starter to success :-)
I firmly believe that European countries should have economic stability and sturdy coin (Euro).
463. Economic situation (importance: 75%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 8)
The economic situation in Lithuania is very bad at the moment. There is huge unemployment (but well, I guess
that's not Europe, but Lithuanian Government should do sth). What concerns me directly is the situation of
the state servants. Working as a professional in one's field after 6 years at university you earn nothing in
comparison with the state servants in some other European countries. That is very much unfair! And yes, I
would love to work in my country and I love my job, but I guess there is no way out and we should do anything
to get the jobs (win the competitions) in the EU institutions.. And well, not only for a job in a multinational and
multicultural environment, but also for money.......

468. employee rights, green fuels, bank bailouts, social security (importance: 75%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 18)
What I see happening is that the state is spending all the taxpayers money in banks. I don't see any social
policies coming into place. As a citizen I feel that I work only to bailout greedy corporations that don´t
contribute to the well being of the citizens in Europe. There is no coherent development of reusable fuels as
well...
469. European union must focus on illegal immigration,unemplyment (importance: 75%, disagreement:
10, evaluations: 7)
I continue my think.I am the accountant who told you about the small village(examlpe effect).An economy
and a state generally is depending on population increase.When population in a country increase then
we have more consumers to spend money,and economy developing.In Europe we have the opposite
phenomenon(population decreasing)some saying that population of Europe in 2050 will be 620million people
from 730million people who are today 2009.This means decreasing of economic market of Europe.From the
other side European Union accept all illegal and legal immigrants from Africa and Asia,who they will flood
Europe in the future.These immigrants cant consume money as Europeans do,so this is one factor that
leads Europe to further and more serious economic crisis.Plus that those immigrants send the 30% of their
money they gain here to their countries,which means that all the Economic richness is going to third world
countries,and europe will not have money in future.You are leading Europe and its people to very dangerous
paths.What will you succed if Europe consist in 2050 of 120million people who are not born in Europe,in a
totall population of Europe of 620miilon people?Plus that is sure that Europe is slowly becoming a Islamic
continent.Some studies saying that by 2050 the 1/4 of Europe population will be Muslims.And that will happen
because Muslim woman give birth to 5 children each and european woman give birth to 1,5 children each.

I suppose that the recent quality of life in Europe, our modell of social state has to be maintained. But these
activities needs financing. And financing of the welfare of the society needs a competitive and dinamic
economy. There are different traditions of social redistribution among Member States but it is clear that the
economy must perform well if we need either more tax income or more personal responsability from the
citizens. And in the global stage where the European economy competes with giants like China, Japan,
India, USA, we must act in a more common way because the indidual Member States are too small in this
competition.
479. cross boarder jobs (importance: 75%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 11)

Everything possible should be done to stabilize the financial market. Doing something that helps should
be rewarded. Today leaders in most company gets bonuses no matter how they perform. For that reason it
doesn't really matter to them if they do a good job or not. Bonuses or extremely high pay should be connected
to the performance or the worker. If they do a good job, they get the extra pay/bonus, but if they ruin the
company they shouldn't get it.
482. Help people change from one job to another (importance: 75%, disagreement: 5, evaluations: 5)
The past experience of an employee conditions his/her new job opportunities, especially for higher graduates.
Assuming that many people understand who they really are and wish to do with their life at later stages, it
would be of greatest benefit for the society to ease the conversion process from skills gathered in the past to
new skills allowing self accomplishment in a new job. How to support financially this conversion is the key hard
point, whereas the offer for trainings and education is rather satisfying.
483. Ecology, Society, Economy and European Integration (importance: 75%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 9)
In order to make a better tomorrow I think we need to stand together. By standing together Europe should be
pushed further to become one, and the Union it's members need to think more in terms of 'Europe' rather than
individual nations. Only then can we make a difference in the world. Furthermore I believe ecology is going to
be a great challenge for the future, and measures must be taken through technology and growth: the economy
must keep growing but in a way not harmful to the enviroment. And let's face it, we need wealth to realize our
projects and fund research. But the most important is society and what we want youngsters like myself to
become. The young generation in my country is not living up to their potential, and I think it is because they
are not pushed hard enough to become something, or protected from negative influences. Elaborating I mean
advertisements specifically made to exploit childish naivity, the values of rebellion put forward certain music
styles, and the bad image created of hard working students [ pricks, nerds]. A large part of my generation feels
hard working doesn't pay, to be cool you need to rebel, party etc... In the long run this isn't good for them. I
believe in democracy, but political apathy is taking horrifying forms, and to truly make things work we need to
change this. If not for ourselves then for our future. For 5000 years our ancestors kept the world going, I don't
want it to be this generation to break that.
484. on crisis, employment, equall opportunities for men and wome (importance: 75%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 12)
Eu should give more attention on how to solve the crisis. It should also control each EU member state how
they're dealing with the crisis.In Slovenia we have more and more unempoyed people, on the other hand bank
manager gets 1 mio euros benefit award.EU should give more attention to courts and how are they solving
the cases. Here in Slovenia, you have to wait for ages, many cases aren't solved in a nomal time or not at
all. Sometimes I get the feeling that Eu doesn't really know what is going on in EU countries. Sometimes
the governement doesn't play by the rules of law and the damage is done before Eu notice it. Next problem
that I see are very expensive cell phone calls. My average use per month is 100 euro, and my pay around
700 euros. I guess that's not really normal, especially as I really use cell phone mostly for work. Eu should
be doing more for equall opportunites for men and women. Women have more problems in finding work, as
they're potencial mothers. Employers rather have someone without children, preferably man.
485. Preventing unemployment (importance: 74%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 9)
I think that the most important thing is to keep people working, this is a way to prevent social problems such
as crimes and mental problems. To come to this EU should try to invent ways how to keep the economy going.
If the recession will be deep EU should try to invent other ways to keep people in daily rhytm, it can be for
example fostering civil society in some new way. Project money that EU gives at the moment might not be
the best solution if you think individual lives as such. I think it is important that people feel secured, that they
could buy a house ect knowing that they will have income also next year. Maybe a citizen wage could be one
answer but this is not of course something that EU decides.
486. law order and business clearance (importance: 74%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 5)

give Latvia some ideas, give some sector in which she would work and grow and give some goods and
contribute to EU.
490. climate change, energy, environment, trade, industry, (importance: 74%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 12)
climate change can't be solved by one country alone. We need to fight together, as one. Energy and
environment are therefore crucial matters. Barriers to trade can't be put back, however we need safe and
secure products and we need to fight counterfeight products and child labour worldwide.

493. Raising salaries,fight unemployment,protect environment (importance: 74%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 11)
European Commission is away from reality, its employees are interested in how nice things look on paper,
they don't come from real life. This deficiency is demonstrated perfectly in Agriculture. European leadership
hates farmers and does not want to understand their role in the society and how much cities depend on
them. The crisis started because people had not enough liquidity to buy homes,consumables,pay for their
health,education and for their entertainment. The solution lies there. Increase the salaries of all people so
that they dont need to borrow or they may pay what they borrow. Farmers will soon stop producing because
no one controls the wholesalers that buy their products at ridiculous prices and sell them to us at exorbitant
prices. This also has to stop. Banks -Stock Markets and financial services showed their ugly and most
unreliable face. Banks must be forced to give money to people and then to businesses. Stock market should
be forbidden to play over the real value of a product or service, the real value based on the official turnover
profits&assets, allowing a minus plus 10% maximum for speculation. Nobody needs more growth and
nobody needs low inflation. There is no stability and dont push governments to implement an accord that was
conceived before the crisis, grow up and adopt to the new reality. Stop the use of oil and oblige everyone to
use electric cars and alternative energy. You can imagine the world without Gates but you cannot imagine it
without us.
494. thinking outside the box, original, competent and prepared (importance: 74%, disagreement: 18,

495. INNOVATION, NEW SERVICES, PRIVATE BUSSINES WITHOUT ADMINISTR (importance: 74%,
I think we have to "relax" the aggreement for financial stability. I think that EU does, in particular in the greece
case, exactly the opposite than the market need to. And what the market needs at this time, more money to
move, so better salaries to the employees, easy loans to enterprises, more public investments. Otherwise
Mr Barosso, as it happens now, nobody spends money, the enterprises could not sell their products, the
employees are loosing their jobs or in the better case they are loosing their salaries and the circle be
continued and so does the crisis. I think that this crisis is in 70% due to bad psycology. You have to do sth for
that than to impose more taxes and less salaries or job to the medium and low social clases. In any case I
think that the humans are more important than the financial figures.
497. Answers to the economic crisis (importance: 74%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 10)
The economic crisis is what worries most people at the moment. Still, national policies have to a huge extent
dominated the answers that have been given to the economic crisis so far. This is insufficient for many
reasons: - The internal market operates EU-wide, and EFTA countries are closely associated. Therefore
common answers need to be found. - Companies and enterprises act often European, if not gloablly.
Therefore it complicates business life to only have national solutions - The question of how to find answers
to the economic crisis is one which is largely linked to the question of standards and ethics. Therefore a
European solution would provide a credible commitment for everyone to engage in respecting those codes
of conduct. - With regard to "burden-sharing" a European mechanism will provide more fairness. - Lastly,
the process of deliberating common solutions to achieve a policy acceptable to all member states may make
clearer the causes and effects of the economic crisis. - In international negotiations, as for example IWF , G8,
G20, Europe will have a bigger say if acting jointly. The economic crisis provides a big chance for Europe to
gain confidence of the Europeans in the EU to act as a problem-solving mechanism. I would be very relieved if
Europe would use this chance!

Nowadays, new technologies play a bigger role in our daily life. They can make our life easier, safer and

I think that these are sectors were the EU coulf effectively comtribute to enhance the general level of welfare

Invesments skills to be developed in all economies, specialy in the emergent countries, where the midlle
class of society has to be strongthen/incresed. Training sessions and policy advisory is need to be provided,

develping efficient network of tehnical assistance at public governamental level and local and regional level,
the civil cervants which will be able to provide the assistance should have better acknoledgment of the local
situation and to be able to understand the EU framework of the strategic policy issues build up in cooperation
with commision servicies. The national trainners sholud became part of the framework
It is a major issue all over Europe. I have already moved abroad twice (within the Eu) and I am willing to do

Security is in danger in EU countries.The main reason is the illigal imigrants that enter most of the EU
countries without jobs or places to stay.You have to do something on this. Economic crisis is a joke.The rich
people lost some of their profits which were extremelly huge during all the previous years and suddenly they
feel that they need to be supported.Why you support by founds the Banks?Why don't you support the people
with all that money you are giving to the banks?The Greek Goverment supported the banks with 28 billion

512. Unemployement (importance: 74%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 17)
The unemployment rate rose to 6.7% - up 0.6% over the quarter and 1.5% on last year. 29.3 million people
were in work in the period December to February according to the labour force survey (LFS). The number
of people employed fell by 126,000 this quarter and down by 227,000 on the last year. The working age
employment rate is 73.8% - down 0.4% on the last quarter and down 1.1% on the last year. ILO-defined
unemployment in December to February was 2.1 million (6.7%) - up by 177,000 unemployed on the quarter
and 486,000 from this time last year. The claimant count for key out-of-work benefits was 1,464,100 in
March - up by 73,700 on last month, and up 672,100 on last year. Earnings growth over the year to February
(including bonuses) was 0.1%, down 1.6% from the previous month. In other words, unemployment is one
of the most crucial problems that not only my generataion byt everyone faces. EU should focus on changing
the structure of the market works and the State or the EU should take some control and supervise the Private
sector. I am not fun of protectionism however, a kind of supervising and setting new rules to the market will
boost again the economy and the confidence between people.

514. Economical crisis, eko-friendly energysources, cyprus (importance: 74%, disagreement: 13,

We need to come out from the economic crisis with are heads held high. I think tha one of the key factores
in achieving this is to find a cheap and enviormentaly frendly energysource. We also need to include new
important members in to the EU like Turkey and Kosovoa. They are to countries with great potential if they
are given the support of a larger international union. The EU als needs to concentrate on upholding a good
business and security relationship with Russia, this is something that needs to be done by every country in the
EU not just the ones sharing a border with russia. And the cyprus problem must be figured out, the demands
on turkey membership should be that once the north of cyprus is reconected with the republic of cyprus theyr
membership is possible, because in the EU we dont have any other territorial disputes.
515. the current economic crisis (importance: 73%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 19)
I believe that the best way to tackle the current economic crisis is to bring back honesty in the way business
is done. Capitalism is a wonderful system as long as it is controlled by government regulation. The whole
concept of free trade should be revalued, and determine how much it has brought the loss of jobs within
Europe. Products that come from abroad should have some type of arancels, while products made home may
have some kind of tax exemption in order to pull down its price and be more ready to be bought against a
similar one produced in a third world country. Also, a good idea will be to put the banking system under tight
government scrutiny and start lending again to enterprises that have hopes of going out of the crisis. I do not
agree with the American view of giving freely to spend. That will only make the rich richer.

518. de bureacratization, easier trade, less gender fascism (importance: 73%, disagreement: 26,

EU should refrain from all forms of social engeneering, especially mad gender control like gender
mainstreaming. This theories behind this is based on mad marxist feminism from the 197os. Women in the
West are not class victims, they redproduce more than men, they live longer, they are not forced into death
professions, etc. Allthough it has become easier, there are still too many trade barriers and especially for
small or medium sized businesses. EU should concentrate on the essential, make trade easy but stay away
from more regulation of the individuals.

The economy should be regulate. WE HAVE TO FORGET THE NEO-CLASSIC theories to find the way every

if it's regulate. We can't avoid it. Also, the market can't work for everything. Some fields should be public, like :

At the moment it is very difficult for someone to work in another E.U. country. The paper work is way to
big, and companies are not encouraged to hire employees from other countries. Also, there is no guidance
for people that want to do so (Europass is a good start but not enough). Fixing this problem would take
advantage of Europe's human resources a lot better, using the right people in the right places, leading to high
specialization in all fields and more importantly, economic growth. They way things are right now, is that there
are many talented and educated people around the Union which are left to do jobs that are not in their field of
expertise, leaving them untapped. If we find a way to move these people around the Union and putting them in
the right positions, filling the gaps, Europe will be a remarkable place.

company and even there I don't know if I'm going to be working in 6 months or in 1 year etc.!) lifegoing
studying & getting knowledge and new skills would probably be helpfull
533. Places of employment (importance: 73%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 3)
The European Uninon should ensure to the local community their places of employment, so that people do not
have to move or locate away from their homes.
534. culture (intercultural), job opportunities for the poor. (importance: 73%, disagreement: 16, evaluations:
11)
I think culture it's deeply important in any areas for a more civil life. Anybody desserve good job opportunities
to achieve goals in life: family, health, social security and peaceful living in harmony with neighbours. Since
decades it's really hard to find jobs to old people, not so old: I mean even under 50! This the same for young
people under 22, maybe not so tragic but I think this the first point to focus energies on. Not caring about this
will be as like playing with dynamite and it will be not that far, maybe we can talk on months!
535. woman enterprising and education of undisabled people (importance: 73%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 5)
The Woman Entrepreneur...... Ilive in Samsun in Turkey.I'm the member of an organisation about woman
enterprising.But I can't explain my ideas to our managements.Because they only think themselves,especially
money...I went to a course in İstanbul in KAGİDER...They work professional....I want to be and work with
professionals like you.I only need help....How can I work in Brusells,with the others?...I'm married anda I have
a son called BİLGİN.I want to be in Europe,and work hard for being a succesfull woman.I'm very bored in my
town because noone hel me,these projects are very secret for us.We only go for being together,not making
projects...Please contact me... I'm the owner of a centre,where undisabled children are learning something,like
a school...I love my job....May be we can contact with other schools like that,so our students learn more
about Europe,and your culture,language,and interests.....I want to contact with Turkısh people who work for
your organisations but nobody explain something,why???I know why,they want to earn more money,and no
help!!!!!What a pity,it's the real for my town..........
536. tax harmonisation - freedoms - competition - citizenship (importance: 73%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 14)
1. The crisis is there, we, Europeans have more in common than the market, to help us to reach more stability,
I think it will be sensible to have more incomes for the E.U. with an equalisation of the tax system. 2. We need
more protection of our civil rights. There are too many control and restrictions for basic freedoms. Open up. 3.
We have to accept competition inside E.U. and also with the rest of the world. Strong insitutions and a good
level of protection and an opening of competition. 4. We need to find an European identity. It is not an easy
question and I fear certain of the answers, but we have to explore that field.
537. New economic order (importance: 73%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 13)
How to instaure & provide a new trust on new whole economy system
538. International trade (importance: 73%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 16)
Belgium fails to succesfully privatise government companies to the free market. It concerns electricity, gas,
telecom, post and trains. When ever such a company is privatised the consumer ends up with just 2 or 3 big
providers of which non is better than the other. I believe it's crucial that more European competitors should be
able to enter the Belgian market freely to increase the competion. I'd love to see Europe more as one trade
zone and less as 27 zones.
539. Technology, added value in education, digital age (importance: 73%, disagreement: 26, evaluations:

Do something for education and try to conciliate two sectors of Europa funding : ICT research and ICT in
education
540. equalization of salaries in europe (importance: 73%, disagreement: 30, evaluations: 16)

541. Support the researcher carrear outside of universities (importance: 73%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 12)
By creating the conditions that allows someone to follow a research carrear in public domain (e.g. not in
industry) but without the association to public universities. National and Internacional research centers should
be created and supported.
542. Economy, individual freedom, social protection, (importance: 73%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 3)
A strong EU is important to me may it be politically or economically. There is a need for a powerful economy
based on investment,trades within the eurozone, spendings, research and a highly qualified workforce
(implying a top of the line educational system). This force also needs a strong political backup on intra-
national and international levels so Europe can stand up for its positions. I have more trust in the EU institution
to protect my rights, privacy, freedom and self than I have in national governments. Thus a strong EU can only
be better for europeans and human kind.
543. job (importance: 73%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 5)
544. Improving trade and business efficiency (importance: 73%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 12)
The single greatest contribution the EU can make is to continue the excellent work it has begun to integrate
markets and increase trade efficiency. I'd like to see an increased emphasis on entrepreneurship. There is
such a big difference in process for starting a business in France vs. the UK, for example. The EU needs to
focus more on small business, innovation and entrepreneurship, demanding a simplification of rules, making
financing available etc.
545. economic and social standards (importance: 73%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 8)
In My opinion the EU should focus on regulating and coordinating the economic policies of the member-states,
as well as social standards for every citizens of the EU
546. A new economical iron curtain must be avoid (importance: 73%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 2)
The policies barriers for eastern workers must be banned. It is possible in the future that western workers to
come and work in eastern countries. How the governments in eastern countries to react? To deny access of
the workers for their labor markets?
547. Will the EU help keep the economy regulated? (importance: 73%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 10)
Will the EU make sure that European countries will have their economies regulated, and will not start a
"runaway capitalist system" as the US has had in the last few decades?
548. free trade (importance: 72%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 23)
549. Reverting to a Common Market (importance: 72%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 13)
Because I was never asked if I wanted toi be in a Union
550. Larger salaries (importance: 72%, disagreement: 34, evaluations: 3)
Still the economic imbalances regarding the amount of the monthly salary between the member-states are big.
EU should work on that.There has to be a common legal platfrom concerning the lower salary possible.
551. Getting a minimumtaks for industry in every country (importance: 72%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 9)
We should be thinking of a minimumtaks in every country for the industry. It is not good that big companies
move to the east of europe because of the takses while they are making enough profit in the first country. We
shouldn't be afraid that they move to china because of our free market and if they go over there they have to
import their goods what will cost them again a lot of money. So we should defenitly consider to raise takses.
It is not only good for the rich countries among us but also for the less rich countries because the companies
that allready settled there also have to pay more to the gouvernement in that country..

555. Globalisation-Immigration-Economics-Poverty-Parliaments (importance: 72%, disagreement: 26,
evaluations: 8)
The EU needs to spend more of its time, energy, money, regulation on finding ways to bolster efforts to
improve the economic and social situations of people in the neighbouring and poor countries of the world.
There needs to be coherence between its aid/trade work. Technical aid and capacity building with parliaments
particularly on scrutinising the budget would do alot to ensure that aid and income from the natural resources
available goes towards investment in human development. This would be one of the best things long term
things it could do to slow the tide of immigrants. less time and money should be wasted trying to physically
stop them from coming. as long as life is better here they will come, and its simply not fair to try to stop them.
556. Encourage small business (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 17)
Other than the UK, running a small business or operating as a sole trader is quite the most complicated thing
one can do. Rules, laws, procedures, process, information, costs are just too complex and tend to keep
people away from starting their own business or going freelance.
557. Fundamental right of research as basis for mobility (importance: 72%, disagreement: 30, evaluations:
2)
The Fith Freddom is a very prominent idea of tackle a mobility of researchers in Europa. But without the
fundamental right to do research Europe fall behind. All Member States should sign this findamental rigt of ree
research otherwise they should be not allowed to take part in European Research Programmes financed by
the EU.
558. The EU should focus on pushing an economy reform. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 7,
evaluations: 3)
The economy crisis that is affecting the world is caused by a system which obviously does not work and needs
to be changed. Buisnesses close and the state isn't able to help, all of this deeply affects the daily lives of the
people in the EU, that is why I think a new system must be conceived and a reform must be pushed to change
the very basis of the global economics workings. Higher transparency and more control over banks could be a
start.
559. Employment Issues (importance: 72%, disagreement: 35, evaluations: 2)
Bringing social welfare systems into an EU debate
560. justice, trade regulatory gap, Convntn of Human Rights (importance: 72%, disagreement: 0,
evaluations: 1)
It is important that issues of justice, policing and asylum are left to each indivdual country. Ireland currently
has one of the most lenient systems of jurisprudence in terms of the human rights that are granted to
detainees in custody. The Euroinisation of human rights does not account for the indivdual approach of each
country on these sensitive topics. I am in favour of passing the Lisbon Treaty, because it would help the
institutions of Europe to function more efficently. I do not want to see Ireland or Europe take detainees from
Guantanamo Bay.
561. Local economic models, nested in EU and global networks (importance: 72%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 14)
Creating global markets for local products with trade between participants of telecommunities.
562. Crime, economy, better salaries, better work conditions (importance: 72%, disagreement: 40,
evaluations: 4)
Due to the vast poverty we are constantly living in fear..in a beautiful European country which once was crime
free. The salaries are pathetic for the hours of work that individuals put in...overtime is never paid. The basic
salary definitely needs to be increased to at least 1,300 eur per month. How can one expect to live on 700 eur
a month??? It is so sad. I had so many beautiful dreams...
563. Free trade for Insurances (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 11)
To have unified regulations governing car, life, household insurances etc. throughout the EU and allow the
consumer to purchase insurance anywhere within the EU to encourage competetion and value for money.
564. employment and skills (importance: 72%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 17)
The situation of employment affects the EU citizens in very direct way - theirs quality of life and theirs
satisfaction with EU polices. This is especially urgent in the situation of current crisis. The skills development
affects the quality of human capital - the driving force of any growth, especially in age of technologies and
challenges, following the slogan - "The difficult I do today, the impossible will wait until tomorrow".

565. create single market in all areas ahere there is none/little (importance: 72%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 16)
the single market is still a dream in many areas - a good instrument to abate obstacles woudl be to foster
incubators of single market enterprises i.e. enterprises set up with the intention to capture all teh contractions
of the single market and that are beign pid for indentifyign and explaning the obstacles they find in their
internationalisisation process.

evaluations: 9)
567. Economy, fighting the crisis (importance: 72%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 7)
I wish the European decision-makers would do everything they can to secure jobs and financial stability in
Europe. I am worried about losing my job, about the loss of my savings due to a decrease in value of the
euro and about rapid changes of the economic situation. I hope the leaders will fight all protectionism and join
forces.
568. Economics of the E.U (importance: 72%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 13)
The current economic crisis that is now facing not only Europe but the world is startling to say the least. What
it is that is bothering me is why exactly nobody shouted stop from the inside or if they did as some almost
inevitably must have done why was more not done to prevent it? Was it too easy to go along on the gravy train
and not say STOP! It is easier in a perveted sense to legislate for something that had already happened and
wreacked havoc on the worlds economic system rather than rock the boat when all seemed rosy. Also what
should the E.U's position in the international banking system be exactly?
569. environment - economic crisis - defence (importance: 72%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 4)
570. EU has to focus on the employment policy in EU (importance: 72%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 4)
In the times of crisis EU authorities have to focus on employment policy in the whole EU. Nowadays its not
easy to find a job for the young generation. The authorities might unit to create unique strong strategy, new
vacancies to fight against unemployment in EU!
571. Defend the principle of a free and undistorted competition! (importance: 72%, disagreement: 23,

572. 1)Economy, 2) Environment 3) Social Freedom (importance: 72%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 7)
Day by day the economy of my country affects my daily life, affects my pocket. Since today i haven't seen any
serious meters taken by the EU and by the government of my country which they helped me to improve my
life. Instead of this the EU asked from Greece to increase the years of work for both men and women, where
is our freedom and the respect from the EU when you are asking from us to work until we die??I'm wondering
Mr Baroso are you ging to work until 65???I'm not so sure about that...
573. Environment, economy, legislation, integration, education (importance: 72%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 9)
I consider myself as a person that involves herself strongly with environmental and economical issues of our
time. I am a "European studies" student in France and thus am rather open minded and tolerant towards
new ideas and people with other opinions or beliefs than mine. Furthermore, I live in Luxembourg, one of the
most culturally diverse countries of the EU and in addition one of the administrative centres of the community
institutions. This allows me to be an convinced European but on the other hand gives me the chance to see
that even 50 years after the signing of the Rome treaties, there still a lot of people that aren't convinced by the
EU yet and still have got some euroskepticism. So I believe that the EU should really take on the problems of
our time and fight climate change more energetically, handle the financial and economic crisis that started in
2008 more coordinated, and finally give the EU the constitution it needs to gain a larger acceptance among
the European citizens. Last but not least, as a student, I feel the urge to express my concerns that nowadays
the EU still doesn't invest sufficient amounts of money in the development of its educational facilities, this
means that Europe in general lacks competitiveness in the R&D sector against the thriving Asian economies
and the United States.

574. Fight structural unemployment (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 17)
I'd like to bring up a problem which is often sidelined and a threat to the level of competitivity accross the
european union. We are currently living an age where a lot of young people between the ages of 20 and 35
are having trouble finding a job because they are having serious difficulty convincing employers that they are
capable in what they do or being systematically excluded due to not having a typical profile. I am 33 years
old, willing, hardworking and perseverant in all I do. I also have a lot of knowhow and can speak both French
and English as if they were both my first languages. But I am human and I've hit my physical and mental
limits a few times. Since I was forced to stop university-level studies ten years ago, I have barely worked less
than two solid years. Not only that but I am portraying a reality that very employers want to acknowledge. My
possibilites have been severely limited due to living to an old industrial region which has become a trap with
time. And it's only now that I have been able to repair the damage and do what I must to get a degree at night
school. My story is far from being an isolated one. It's a massive waste of potential and it can only do harm in
the long term. It's time to shout "all hands on deck !" and get everyone involved in building smarter, stronger
and more efficient economies. Wouldn't you agree that it's time to move from a Europe of finances to a place
where people want to help build a better future for everyone
575. More Common Market, utilities etc but less petty regulations (importance: 72%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 7)
Ideally move to the Spirit of the directives rather than the Words. Allied to a more vigorous and much faster
sanctions on those breaking the Spirit!
Economy: we should try to focus on a europeen economy, not so much on a national economy, many
countries are to small to have a big effect on the economy so we should stick together, even more than we are
dowing now.

the progess in E.U. is not for everybody...large numbers of the society are at the corner,this will certenly
cause revolution!junging from my country, the financial situation is dominated by 3-5 big businessmen,at the
supermarket ,at the oil industry,at the transportation,they fix the prizes and the salaries are low as you don't
give permission for REAL raise full empoymenty is the key,as only throught that way the economy will start
again mouving..when people are pain witd with 400-500 euros,they cannot spend! Turkey ,here in Greece
we believe that E.U. are no support us at the Turkish issue.houndrends of immigrands invade daidy from the
Turkish borders and the small islands of Aegean see are foul of them without help.your help is tinny!each
time the Turks have problems with their inside policy,they move that at their foreigh policy(incidents above

Government.

environment protection; safety in web, when used by children; safety measurements at school; education
issues in poorer areas; bank pressure over the "small and mid-businesses" in Bulgaria; stimulation of the
enterpreneurs

so that many more students, teachers and researchers could study, teach, work and do research in
universities, academic centers, libraries and laboratories across the European Union through such exchange
programmes as Erasmus, Socrates, Leonardo etc.
582. Human trafficking especially in sex industry (importance: 71%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 13)
Many people are exploited when moving to more prosperous EU states- measures need to be put in place to
stamp this out.

583. Entreprenours (importance: 71%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 13)
I think the EU should do more to encourage entrepreneurship on a Europe wide level. This will allow even
more integration of ambitious people while generating jobs and incomes at a wider level. I know there are
several initiatives to help start up small and medium scale businesses but more should be done to spread the
message horizontally, right now they are vertical programs which do not reach the right people and but if they
are targeted at students just leaving universities, then more small scale businesses will be started among a
population of people who are willing and capable to travel.
584. Economic Crisis. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 4)
1.What the European Commission did to prevent it? 2.What kind of regulation regarding the Banking system
has put in place? 3.Please inform me of the documents that the EU commission has issue to warn member
states, or to guide them against risky banking practices PRIOR TO THE CRISIS?
585. Position of self-employed persons (importance: 71%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 11)
Not surprisingly even your questionnaire does not have the category self-employed, so I had to enter OTHER.
Yes, we self-employed are just other. Yet we work and fight for our lives, to survive and provide existence to
ourselves and our families. I assume we fall under SME category, but although there is a lot of self-praising
about what is done in SME sector, self-employed and mini companies (2-3 persons) are never given favorable
business conditions. The accounting and VAT obligations are the same as for large companies, and that
squeezes a lot of our already scarce resources (time and money). In Germany (Berlin) where I live and work
self-employed (klein Unternehmen) have 2 years without VAT obligations (with limits EUR 17000 and 50000
turn-over, not profit, nota bene) after which one must charge VAT which makes us increasingly uncompetitive.
Mini companies are even obliged for the Chamber of Commerce fee. There is never any incentive to make our
business position and chances better. We pay the same expensive software prices, plus mostly US software
(Adobe for instance) is much more expensive in EU. Yet in talking about unemployment and how to reduce it,
self-employment should be recognized and given a boost through better financial conditions (as I mentioned
above). In addition to all this self-employment of old and not only young, and issues of health insurance and
pension is an extra problem.
586. Worldwide free trade (importance: 71%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 11)
Stopping the lethal protectionist policies towards poor nations, especially in agricultural products.
587. Employability of graduates (importance: 71%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 23)
All member states have different education systems but I think there should be a more cohesive approach
to gaining work experience to improve employability. In the current economic climate students could learn
a lot from businesses but they cannot get their foot in the door. An EU wide system of gaining maybe six
weeks work experience for University students as a compulsory part of their degree and with countries being
encouraged to particiate through tax incentives and CSR policy endorsment by the EU.
588. Support intensively innovation as a crisis strategy exit (importance: 71%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 5)
One of the main instrument to support innovation (recoup investments in innovative activities) is the
Intellectual Property System. There is no prpoper strategy in Europe to use the IP sytem. The present system
is formed by dislocated pieces, with no common approach to support really the European Inventors. A political
input is necessary in this sector to overcome the blockage of the different institutions and to align them in an
efficient policy. This is the task of the EU Commission.
589. more freedom to innovate and to establish (importance: 71%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 13)
there is too much red tape and there are too many obstacles to free and fair competition still in place.
590. Help the medium-size companies survive the economic crisis. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 29,
evaluations: 16)
The economic crisis has affected most sectors of the economy, because as economy is a "chain" , if banks
do not provide the market with money, most people are affected. Medium size companies, as well as
multinationals do not hire employers, and in many cases fire in order to be able to survive. Employers on the
other hand are afraid and they cannot be sure about their financial situation in the close future, so they do
not spend as much as they did and consequently there is not enough money in the market, so it is hard for
smaller companies to overpass the crisis. Talking about the situation in Greece, I see that most people of my
age (27) are afraid of unemployment. Finding a job near our home is difficult and going in some other city to
work is not always a solution because we cannot afford to rent a house and pay the bills with the salary of 700
or 800 euros, even if we have a lot of qualification. I saw in during tha last year people with families losing their
jobs because the banks did not give loans to the companies they worked in. How could young people dicide to
make a family or live alone? It seems almost impossible, no matter how hard someone is willing to work.

591. Immigration, financial crisis, foreign relations, economy (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 16)
Currently the main problem is that of immigration. Therefore we need to address this problem better. All
Europe has to help a small country like Malta which is already over populated to deal with this problem.
Several solutions can be found by trying to hold negotiations with Libya because the problem is a three tier
problem. First you have the country at source and Europe tries to tackle this problem through financial aid.
Secondly there is the Libya which is the country where immigrants start their journey to Europe. Here much
more can be done. Thirdly there is the problems of people who arrive in Malta and the detention centres which
are over crowded and not up to UNHCR standards. Other problems which I would like to mention are also the
financial crisis and the economy. I believe Europe is now stronger with Euro and we have to make everything
possible for all countries to adopt Europe and really be the strongest economyt in the world. Lastly I wanted to
mention the foreign relations with countries around the world. This is something of huge importance if EUrope
wants to take the leading role in the world.
592. Economy, agriculture, education (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 7)
I think that in the times of global financial crisis it is essentially necessary that EU not only creates the feeling
of presence in Latvian economy, but also supports it. It can be not only financial assistance, but also help in
education of local politicians. The support of agriculture is also essential to create fair play between European
countries. Right now there are lots of disagreements and disappointments about the EU agricultural policies
and probably it is important to solve these problems by informing the farmers, giving them more information
of their possibilities and EU role as it. Education is one of the cornerstones of a successful future, so it is
essential to improve the cooperation between EU countries and institutions in creating the next generation
of politicians, scientists etc. In short - people need to feel the presence of EU and need to understand more
about it's functions! Otherwise the negative thinking will remain very popular not only in Latvia, but also in
other countries.
593. migration particularly in industrialized european states (importance: 71%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 14)
Migration to supply the needed work force particualrly in industrialized wetsern european members recenly
has become a great deal. people wirh different habits and values face bitter difficulties to integrate to the
society they entered in.Most of time, though, they do not mind to integrate.they just keep their their way living
and that kind of conservative attitude lead serious problems about the harmonization of society. On a positive
correlation, crime rates increase.

596. economical safety (importance: 71%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 16)
597. Free Trade - replace subsidies with re-education grants (importance: 71%, disagreement: 9,
evaluations: 5)
Whilst the single-market is a great European achievement I think the EU fails to keep its member states in
check as regard protectionism. This is likely a result of the frailty of the EU governing structures and lack
of parliamentary sovereignty - certain member states retaining strong veto powers protecting, for example,
agricultural subsidies. With less inequality that our transatlantic partners the EU is in a prime position
to experiment with novel systemic adjustments that increase the freedom to trade in a non-preferential
nationalistic manner. For example phasing out subsidies of specific sectors and transferring funds to provide
European re-education/training grants for workers to reskill/equip for careers they can potentially compete in.
This would render Europe a non-discriminatory, safety net providing, open marketplace and synthesize the
values of liberty and solidarity in a simultaneously progressive and efficient manner. I am, however, skeptical
- with 47% of the budget currently spent subsidizng agri-business and 22% of that going to powerful member
states like France I do not see any likely changes until such time that the right to propose and pass legislation
regarding such things passes fully to the European parliament. Until that time I see no reason to get involved
with these European institutions to promote such ideas and values - it is out of my control, I am not French. If
the Treaty of Lisbon moves us closer to parliamentary sovereignty I support it.

598. instruments / institutions that support employees rights (importance: 71%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 15)
The 40/48 hour working week is rarely if ever enforced. Most international firms ignore it completely. I know
of many cases where well known global names (Deloitte, PWC, EY etc) regularly flout this rule, expecting
their employees to work 11 hours a day. In a recession, when there are plenty of skilled unemployed people
to hire, and in an age when birthrate is falling in many countries because women cannot choose careers
AND children, it seems incredible that such firms are allowed to break the law and squeeze their employees,
body and soul, rather than being forced to hire more workers. Nevertheless, instead of punishing them, the
EU continues to award these firms lucrative contracts. As a former employee of one of these firms, who was
urged to work harder for greater rewards, and who was recently given a paycut when I was due a promotion
and pay rise, I can tell you that I had nowhere to turn to for support. When the firm regularly demanded a 55
hour working week from me, and I still had clients and colleagues calling me at home after hours, there was no
institution or organisation who would support me. If I had complained to the HR department, they would have
informed my manager, which would have meant bad relations in the office, or even dismissal. The EU needs
to stop rewarding such firms and start building institutions and organisations which regulate their activities and
enforce the 40-48 hour working week. It is a sensible law. Now, start to enforce it!
599. Pollution and economic welfare. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 10)
Especially in Greece, there should be more strict orders to comply with pollution control. Also, you should
mandate the Greek government to force businesses to follow pricing of goods as in the rest of EU.
600. I think energy is the main and economy the next step (importance: 71%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 16)
European Union must find cheap kinds of energy, cope with unemployment and find ways to move forward
economy.
601. Monitoring/ensuring market competition in EU members. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 12)
People are effected on daily basis the most when it comes to providing food and other basic goods for their
families. When market, specially food area, is monopolised by two or three bigest merchants in the country the
result are increasing prices. In order to maximise profits and stay competitive those merchants are even under
suspicion to be agreeing on prices for specific products. I believe law enforcement should be more strict and
efficient in preventing these kind of violations.
602. enviroment, education,economy,scientific researchs,salary (importance: 70%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 5)
We should think about gaia, our enviroment, nature, than everythink can get into form. If we loose our green
nature as human beings we don't need anythink. I believe that every people need to be educated. Scientific
researchs are very important for developing the countries and awakining of people. There is capitalist
management most of the countries, but it seems that no more life for capitalism, it has to be get into new form.
603. Unemployment for women and people over 50 (importance: 70%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 18)
Job offers in this country end for women once they are 35. University degrees are worthless in this country,
and if you are out of the job market, you won't get in again unless you accept a job far below your experience,
education and standards. Te minimum salary is 670 Euros, not even enough to pay the rent and the basic bills.

607. economics, legal,academic, democracy, environmental,cultural (importance: 70%, disagreement:
EU should protect and support the right and obligation of each member country to create those circumstances
that will lead to a prosperous, fair, democratic, peaceful, well educated and well informed human environment
for its citizens. For example, Greece effort to take back the Parthenon marbles shouldn't be not even an
effort but a right strongly supported by EU. EU should check with a better mechanism the money she gives to
help other countries where this money go and when people take them. EU also should respect its country's
characteristics so she will not ask to follow every each law she follows, e.g. private universities in Greece
should be very carefully checked. EU should be very tough on environmental and democracy issues.
608. Internal market (importance: 70%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 14)
609. Economic Crisis, International Development, Unemployment (importance: 70%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 10)
Immigration and threatning nationalist movements are rising throughout Europe, spreading fear and racism.
The Economic Crisis has reached the European coninent and working together as a European Union is more
important than it has ever been. Especially with sanctions in Europe to improve collaboration and common
prosperity. In Internatinal Development, the European is still not seen as a power and respected as one of
the big players. I think the European Community could work far more effectively as it does at this point, for
instance peace keeping missions as in Chad could be more effective and European Diplomacy should have
a much higher Status. As an example the European Union should be able to mediate among the fighting
parties in the middle east and in other areas of this world strugling through war and unrest. Especially in
international development coorperation the European Union should be able to do more than it is doing today.
We are a union of some of the wealthiest countries worldwide, we should be able to help a lot more. As the
economic crisis still hasn't reached its final climax, unemployment is raising all over Europe. The European
Union is capable of solving such a problem and should make it one of its top priorities, since high numbers
of unemployed people are going to cause problems in a not so distant future. Apart from that the European
Union needs to be stabilized and set under a secure "constitution". I think the treaty of Lisbon is a good start.
610. Salary rates - VAT - intraEU marriage - schools (importance: 70%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 12)
Salary rates of a country should be adhered to. The practice whereby a Romanian can be employed in
Manchester at Bucharest salary rates should cease. Value Added Tax should be the same of similar goods
throughout the EU. Laws for marriage and divorce and living together should be the same throughout the EU.
Schools should become increasingly European schools with at least one class being taught systematically in
a foreign language and also sharing similar curricula/learning methods making moving from one country to
another easier. Shorter days with fewer holidays to be encouraged in those countries where it is not yet the
case.
611. It's necessary to stimmulate the global economy in EU (importance: 70%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 13)
It's necessary to stimulate the creation of common international enterprises and various international multi
culture projects inside EU in goals to improve the connections among people and many areas of life and
economy.
612. employment, elderly people, education, payment (importance: 70%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 2)
There are many people in my country without a job, EU should find ways to create new jobs. The elderly
people cannot live their lives with dignity because their pensions are to low (from €450 to €800). Public
education hasn't the quality comparably to the taxes we pay for. Our salaries are to low relatively to the ones
that other people within EU.
614. Earth, job, family (importance: 70%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 3)
Earth must be saved; I need a job to live, I don't live for my job; I would like to create a family... but I can't

we do need the eu mainly for a free mark. I do want to see acting the eu ONLY if it´s necessary.
618. poor economy enviroment between countries within EU (importance: 70%, disagreement: 21,

It is necessary for small businesses with in EU to have ability for free trading within EU. EU should support the
small businesses by providing free environment on for trading online between countries.
619. Health, Economy, Culture, Defence Policy (importance: 70%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 6)
These are, as far as I am consearned the main issues EU should focus on, in the upcoming period of time:
Health - People in EU should have a proper helath system which could be controlled by an European
Organization, not each country's Ministry, so as all Europeans can enjoy their lives in the future. Economy
- The whole world lives under capitalism and new-liberalism, which protect Democracy. EU should focus on
problems that affect the foundations of capitalism. Culture - It is the future of Tourism in Europe Defence Policy
- Europe should someday make it's own step to a new Europe independent of other non-european countries
(which effect in Europe's Economy etc) such as US, Russia etc Hope that these are useful With honor, Chris
620. pan-European consumer rights in a truly internal market (importance: 70%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 14)
People will truly feel the added value of the EU once we can buy
621. Employment creation and Technology investment (importance: 70%, disagreement: 11, evaluations:
4)
Encourage SME development, favor European made, promote technology companies, favor open source
software movement (make sure all public institutions abandon Microsoft software and get into opensource
avoiding m€ to be delivered to the US), reduce costs in EC spending, use staff from countries when possible
or at least start a reform to do so. Make sure European institutions become an example of cost saving and
cost cutting. Stop building fancy buildings in Luxembourg. Encourage teleworking which in turn will encourage
technology and open source development. BE AN EXAMPLE. Cut cars and other similar privileges. Oblige to
fly economy... etc
622. Counterering unemploiment and building a strong economy. (importance: 70%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 11)
It is of great importance that incentives be given for the European market to convalesce. I am not one to claim
that capital can incetivize the creation of job, or the other way around; rather they are both constituents of the
same cycle that fosters their growth, in an almost organic fashion. The key is the cycle’s recursiveness; the
EU government and its social partners must take up the cause to help drive economic activity ever higher.
They must cause people and institutions to release their hold on money, but only to channel it to productive
ends. Also, we must help people reject the idea that there is a crisis going on, and make them aim at the
prospect of a better tomorrow. The longer people think of the current situation in terms of "the crisis", the
more credibility it will gain in our collective psyche. To recapitulate, I do not believe the European economy
is in such bad shape as sources around us claim, but rather it's the credit system that's been compromised
in popular perception. Once people stop believing in the perpetuation of their economic wellbeing, then
credit, i.e. faith in long-term economic prosperity, ceases to exist. Closing, I do not wish my insistence in a
reinvigorated EU economy to detract from other global causes and concerns; rather it is my firm belief that
we can successfully face such challenges as pollution, climate change and the adoption of renewable energy
sources, only if we are united and have the economic stamina to addr
623. Energy Security (with economic stimulus on the side) (importance: 70%, disagreement: 24, evaluations:
12)
The EU should focus in long-term real integration by finishing the electricity and gas interconnection and
coordination of the whole EU, to prevent other countries taking the EU hostage for political reasons yet again,
and fostering development in all the member states in the process (particularly the new ones now in economic
trouble). The current scheme where some MS and regions are isolated only benefit non-MS. Interconnection
will finally realize the single market in the energy sector and help lower energy prices in the whole EU, further
boosting the economy and allowing MS to diversify their energy supply and consumption. Secondly, the EU
should see that alternative energy supplies (be it alternative green energy from wind or alternative supply lines
like Nabucco) are strongly supported and quickly built.
624. Company fusion/joint/takeover along the EU (importance: 70%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 11)
Fusion and takeover among EU countries are OK. But I am anxious about some companies that have
reputation taking out all financial resources from the other companies that is taken over, just to misused the
local countries subsidies to prevent first stage of bankruptcy. The most common way is obligating internal
ordering through the mother company in combination with extraordinary pricing.

626. unemployee rate (importance: 69%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 14)
627. Employment, political and economic coordination (importance: 69%, disagreement: 20, evaluations:
8)
I think the EU needs to bring all members closer to the table, as countries such as Ireland where I live, treat
the EU like an ATM machine, Ireland takes EU money, but has a lot to learn about European cooperation.
This coordination and harmonization of European efforts will benefit us all. This would directly feed into
employment etc. where all Europeans would gain.
628. world trade and doha (importance: 69%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 16)
The EU should focus its attention on securing a completion of the Doha Development Round of the WTO
talks. This is help bring many developing world countries out of proverty and hunger. It will also strengthen the
world trading system from attacks arising from the proliferation of regional and bilateral trade agreements.
629. film industry (importance: 69%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 10)

movie industry.
630. security, resillience, making EU the prime business power (importance: 69%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 11)
631. unemployment, low income/high output, safety (importance: 69%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 8)
it affects our daily lives and in the end it is what matters the most. If the economy is doing well then everyone
is happy, there's more jobs going around and more money is being spent.
As a new entrepreneur to believe that reinvigorated the already frozen market in goods and especially what
he sees as most luxury goods (flowers, gifts, etc.) that banks should be more ellastikes consumer loans and
lower interest rates (especially in Greece Following pressure from the committee) in order for people to buy as
usual and move money into the market and not only to repay debt.
634. employment and Member State bureaucracy (importance: 69%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 15)
While the right of free movement of persons is enshined in the EC Treaty and there has been developments
to help EU citizens to realise that right through the ability to transfer social security rights/family members etc.
I believe Member States do not make it easy for EU citizens to excerise that freedom. Many member states
have either chaotic or overtly complicated national bureaucraties, that spill over into complicated/confusing
rules and procedures that must be completed in order to satisfy national registration requirments when moving
to another Member state to live/work. I think the European Commisison should get involved to make it easier
to for EU citizens to exercise this basic freedom of movement. The Commission could do this by helping
Member states to standardise procedures for EU citizens and making available the paperwork in one of the
EU's working languages(French, English, German) across all Member states. This however, does not go in
any way to prevent the newcomer to integrate into their new country, but it does significantly help them deal
with Member State bureacracy in a country that may not have a widely spoken national language. e.g. Poland
to offer paperwork in English/French/German to EU citizens who are dealing with freemovement of people
within the EU.
635. People's economy, inflation (importance: 69%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 11)
Today's European citizens, see the daily products in the markets raising it's prices every month. That cost to
each citizen a lot of money. I believe that European Union, should, control the major industries to maintain
their prices, so as for the people to save more money.

637. Low competitiveness of regional economy-abstract way of work (importance: 69%, disagreement:
Again in Greece and particular for the Region where I live to, there is an isolated private sector from others
countries resulted to low competitiveness and low absortion of working force. The reason for that is the low
entrance to the modern technologies, the small size of enteprizes usually family based, the non-cooperation
behaviour (each one for himself) and the large responsibility of the State that do not help directly the SME
to merge together and became stronger in the vast international competition. There are plenty of money
coming from the EU for strengthening competittiveness but without exceptional results. The reason is again
the low intervene of the State to the real need of SME's. They just give money away without to examine the
real problems that an enterprise could have, without mentoring of these companies, without prerequisities for
modernise their businesses, for true and honest assistance to their problems, to their needs.
638. Job opportunities and variety is dwindling. (importance: 69%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 12)
The credit crunch has hit us all hard. What I see locally is more job losses and manufacturing dying in this
region. Has hit this region hard. From the last bad days of heavy industry going and then investment in the
region by companies setting up call centres. Trouble is that there has been very little variety replacing that
industry. Its all mostly service sector stuff. Of course the credit crunch has hit this sector hard aswell. The
North East of England has suffered a double blow. What I would like to see is investment from Europe with
the money that has been agreed by G20 to be invested in jobs foremost. Invest in jobs = People with wages
= People buy goods = Employs people to make them. Circle of growth which we need again. No point in
throwing it down the pit of bankers funds.... That pit is forever and always hungry. Or thinking out of the
box here... Why not throw the money at massive renewable energy projects and research? Especially with
our current urgent need to fix that problem. To possibly in the greater good head off a war over energy and
resources in the near future?
639. SME economics: credit for new startups, support existing (importance: 69%, disagreement: 24,
evaluations: 16)
Small Medium enterprises are the bulk of all our businesses, in most EU-countries. These companies don't
have a loud voice, therefore, are less visible. However, they employ millions. With the credit crises, their daily
running of the business has become difficult: - less credit lines available, or more expensive. - their revenue is
under pressure. By focussing on more guarantees for loans, we can tackle the first issue. By lowering the cost
of employment (employers share) for these companies, we lower the risk that they will have to fire people.
Focus should be 1-2 year plan. In return, VAT can be increased to 25%, as this will be spread on all products
and services: including all imported once from Asia, USA.

Education - very bad quolity (you cant imagine) and very expensive. Energy - we want to have independence
from Russia and safe energy with good price, after will close our nuclear plant. Also its big corruption, we have
too many intermediaries while energy reaches customer. Economics - just make it better like in Germany,
France or Belgium. If we are all in EU do we should have the same level. all in the same economic level.
Corruption - it's everywhere. Corrupted polyce, doctors, and especialy government. Health care - just make
normal salary,because we have to pay our sefs. Save us from GMO !!!!!! Or u dont want to have any people in
EU ??? What is wrong with you ?!!! Answer for any kind of GMO should be NEGATIVE!

646. Independent small companies' leadership formation (importance: 68%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 14)
In a world of congested regulations, sprawling bureaucracies, and arbitrary social engineering, independent
small companies offer a unique freedom to their founders. As stated by Thomas Jefferson -"Freedom is
the right to choose". and on my modest opinion the right to create for oneself the alternatives. Without the
possibility of choice, and the exercise of choice, a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing.
Independent small companies, as I think, provides an escape from the petty executive concerns of size,
rank, salary levels, fringe benefits, and lunch partners. All new small companies present an extraordinary
opportunity to do something fundamental and imaginative. Bankers and institutional investors hoard money
during prosperity and lament its loss during bad periods as now. Entrepreneurs usually react in just the
opposite manner: they feel most challenged, if I am permitted to say, they feel exhilarated and fulfilled during
bleak times. As a surprise they tend to feel nervous, unfulfilled and unneeded during prosperity. A true joy
and reward of entrepreneurial life is freedom and exhilaration of the new venture dream! On my opinion the
entrepreneurial role is therefore highly individualistic and creative. The new companies must be erected where
nothing existed before. This job demands enthusiasm, endurance, conclusiveness, LEADERSHIP, pride in
one's product, marketing skills, nerve and shrewdness.
647. Invest now to save in the future! (importance: 68%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 14)
My grandad once told: I am not so rich to buy cheap! I think therefore it is worth to pay extra penny for the
modern technologies which will make our daily life brighter, more enjoyable and more safe and pleasant!!!!
648. focus on developing the industry in all EU countries;pension (importance: 68%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 10)
I am a Bulgarian citizen living in Belgium (temporarily or not I don't know?!). For 20 years this county is without
working economy! Thanks to the construction+tourism+trade,this economy got a temporary boost, but THIS
IS NOT A REAL WORKING ECONOMY,THIS IS NOT SERIOUS, THERE IS NO INDUSTRY! The crisis came
and everything is down - no construction works betonizing the seaside anymore, etc... So, now what? EU is
going to save it, the World Bank is going to help... But this is just trying to make up for aftermaths... Make it
a working economy, with investment, with STRICT watch on those that stops entrepreneurs... In my humble
opinion, this rule applies to all NEW EU countries! OTHERWISE - do not accuse people that do not want to
live with 200 Eur/month, or pensioners with less than 100 Eur per month, that they suffocate Western EU
economies and their social systems escaping in Western EU countires! This is logical no? If things are FAR
from equalized, more or less distributed ... More and more problems from our countries will become yours.......
The priorities I see: 1/ No illiterate person in EU and all with at least basic English (many BG gypsies are
completely illiterate these days); 2/ If possible - strict sanctions to the BG judiciary system: no more cheating
and trading the country to the mafia; 3/ Equal minimum salary and pensions across EU; 4/ Eco and industry
development - assuring JOBS! Thank you for your attention! Hopefully my ideas help! Great campai
649. Economic issues (importance: 68%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 10)
In Hungary many people, including politicians are dissatisfied by banks, who are not giving financial
assistance to their branches, functioning abroad. Thus, national governments have to finance them to avoid
bancrupcy. But nowadays the national budgets are in difficult situations, too much to finance non-national
banks too.
650. health,green energies,bio food,education,scientific research (importance: 68%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 11)
What's important for people in their daily life? The quality of the food they eat, the quality of the
hospitals,doctors + inssurance system,the quality of education, green energies for their cars, their heating
systems + industries, live in an sustainable and "balanced" planet earth and develop research to improve the
healing of mortal deseases like cancer, leucemia..., research to improve green energies in transports,..etc.
And feel protected and supported by the EU the and governments for which they have voted and to whom
they pay taxes. They do not like feeling that national or european politicians have cheated on them, do not
care about their daily problems, like now the labour problems with the crisis, and don't take quick decisions
to solve their quite important mortage or other nature economic problems with the crisis. Personally, I would
like an EU that goes deeper and closer to the problems, take concrete measures, quicly, effectively. Not an
EU administration that seems lost in its bureaucracy, its administrative and decisional procedures, ...veeery
far away from the EU citizens, even with this "transparency policy show" that has been performing for the last
years.

Every year people finish their studies..They get diplomas etc but no one can find a job on the profession he
has studied.This makes you feel too pressured...As for the safety,it is known that in EU the big changes on
the society have made people to turn on theft,raids and generally in illegality.But as we try to feel safe with
the police,lately we have witnessed many times the delinquent behavior of the police itself.No one can forget
the whole Athens being burned by protestors because of the death of an innocent child,nor can we forget the
death of a camera man in the UK because of a police man that pushed him on the back without any reason.
Can we feel safe in the EU with this police?As for the education,I think that we do not get educated in order to
be thinking persons,but for the exact opposite!Finaly,as per the enviroment there is not much to say,we should
adapt a more enviromental-friendy policy...
653. circumscribed free market (importance: 67%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 15)
support to SMEs should remain high on the eu agenda. At the same time economic activity in the eurozone
needs to be secured through better lending and borrowing regulation.
654. Making European research programmes more efficient! (importance: 67%, disagreement: 9,
evaluations: 9)
Europe is at risk of falling behind its major competitors (USA, Japan, and China) in terms of its capacity to
provide an adequate infrastructure for transformative innovations, which are needed for sustainable economic
growth. To tackle this problem, the EC has increased its spending on research. Unfortunately, the potential
impact of this welcome initiative is unlikely to be fully realized, because of the associated bureaucratic
burden and financial control over users. A draconian level of administration and control was installed to
create accountability and to avoid fraud, but it achieves exactly the opposite of what is supposed to deliver,
resulting in poor value for taxpayer’s money. There is ample evidence that many research groups in Europe
refuse even to apply for European funding, because they are wary of the disproportionate time taken by
administration of potential grants. For those who are successfully funded, the reality of bureaucratic control,
which is typically highly inefficient, wastes valuable time and creates a climate of learned helplessness. The
greater the administrative burden, the less attractive the grant becomes to excellent researchers, and the
greater the risk that funding goes to the mediocre and the desperate. Researchers use grants to increase
scientific output and to enhance their career prospects. Their incentive to misuse taxpayer’s money is
negligible. A flexible funding scheme would recognize the inevitable uncertainties in the day
655. Democratic economy - For a Non-capitalistic Europe (importance: 67%, disagreement: 30,
evaluations: 10)
1% of the people living in the European Union, own a 30% of the prosperity. So there has to be an alternative
form of sharing prosperity. A democratic mode of economy activity has to be installed and replace capitalism in
Europe.
656. The educational system is old -Few money for research (importance: 67%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 15)
In Greece like almost everything is centrally based. The educational system and especially the examination
of entering to the universities is changing every three years! (When a new goverment is taken the power).
There is no any good colleration of studies with the needs of the market and the knowledge inquired is not well
integrated by one study level to another. The problem of course is not at the final examinations but at the job
that is taking place until that level. There is no any assesment of the teachers and proffesors by their students
as it happens elsewhere, but the most important for me is the structural way of teaching (one book, very tight
framewok of the lesson, no interaction with the students, no promotion of active participation, no promotion
of the students imagination and their personality. From the other hand when the students graduate they is no
any organisation to assist them to enter smootly into the market, to explain them what the choices of work (of
course these should take place much earlier at the age of 15!). Another point has to do with the low level of
innovation and research in my country. There is no any specific interest to promote research to the universities
and the industry research is something unknown here. The research of the univerisities is usually the EU
programmes that give some money to the Universities and to professors but there is no actually a research,
there is no such real planning! Therefore with have large braindrain.

I think that Smes should partecipate more to the innovation of the Eu but there is a lack of cultur and of
hearing. I think there are many ways to improve this cultur and to stimulate the Smes to partecipate but Eu
should speack directly to the Smes in each countries not through a system of intemediaries such as the
European interprise network that it is formed by the same istitution (similar pubblic or with pubblic mind) not
able to understand the Smes way of thinking and speaking.

As economies in the EU become more capitalistic, what will the EU do in order to make sure that these

662. Employment, Solely 1 Constitution, Strenghting Economy (importance: 66%, disagreement: 27,
evaluations: 11)
EU should focus to optimize employment all through the entire continent. There shouldn't be regions were
employment is high and other's where employment is very low. This will reduce migration and mobility
problems since less people would move from 1 country to another. We should also have 1 constitution, for the
good & for the unity of the European Union. We should also focus on strenghting the economy of the whole

When students are still in the university, allow them to know what are the main necessities of the job market in
various different european countries, besides your own. have a list with activities that are more needed at the
time being and others that are not, do so to avoid unemployment
665. remove governmental control in peoples life; make free trade (importance: 66%, disagreement: 8,
evaluations: 4)
facilitate more removal of bureaucracy, government, taxation, regulation, especialy of idivduals
666. Providing level playing field in economic development (importance: 66%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 4)
Increasing the weight of separate European nation states into one powerful, striking economic fist capable of
breaking through protectionist barriers. Ensuring that there's no cheating inside the block and applying the full
might of reasoning in favor of promoting Europe economic interests as global player, when dealing with the
outside. Deals in favor of individual parts at the expense of security of other individual parts are destructive.
667. Ensuring the "common-market" aspects of the Union work well (importance: 66%, disagreement:
27, evaluations: 8)
In discussions with people who initially supported the UK joining the European Union but who now are either
against or unsure about our membership, a repetitive comment is that "we signed-up to be part of a Common
Market, not a European State". This, while on the one hand can be seen asboth a negative point and a
disappointing point of view, it does provide a ready vehicle for the Union to present its work in a way which
people can better understand and relate t5o. Success in showing people why and how particular things are
necessary for the fair and effective working of a Europe wide common market would help grow the realisation
of the good things the Union brings. If this could be achieved, it would move the control of the debate agenda
away from the anti-Europeans, thus allowing for a more balanced and rational debate to develop.
668. Rising prices,unemployment,criminality, pollution (importance: 66%, disagreement: 32, evaluations:
5)
First of all the EU should focus it's attention in the ever increasing prices of basic products which can be found
in almost every house whatever the country. This is a really serious problem for many people around europe,
especially for those whose their salaries increase at a lower rate than this of the inflation. This combined with
the problem of unemployment creates even more more problems which affect the society in general. The
rising unemployment rates in virtually every country of the EU leads to smaller productive capabilities which
affects trade, GDP etc. The increase of the unemployed leads inevitably to a rise in the number of criminal
offences and the problem seems to pass on a different scale. Another major problem in most urban and rural
areas ( and especially in my country, greece) is pollution. The quality of the air in big cities throughtout europe
is dropping, something that makes many scientist concerned about the enviroment we live in. The damage
in rural areas is by no means less than that of urban areas. Many acres of forests are lost every year due to
fires etc. Water shortage is becoming a reality in some countries of the mediterranean and floods are often
catastrophical in northern europe.

670. Economy - Conditional Sale (importance: 66%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 2)
At the moment there is a lot of commotion around the fact that EU laws accept conditional sale and our
Belgian laws do not. Being an entrepreneur of a SME myself, I'm not pleased with the acceptation of
conditional sale. The revival of our European economy is very important at the moment, and this conditional
sale will encourage 'only' the large companies to strengthen their position which will enlarge the gap between
small and large companies. At first, it looks like conditional sale may encourage the economy by creating more
competition which benefits the consumers. But in the end, the small companies will not be able to compete
with the large ones. This lack of competition will finally pave the way to increasing prices for the consumer,
which will influence the economy in a negative way.
671. Legislation is strangling innovation and much else (importance: 66%, disagreement: 28, evaluations:
16)
So much law has been passed by the EU in its short life that it is many times that of all the European countries
together, for the last 50 years. Yet what does this bring us - Nothing but dying innovation, and industries tied
up with nonsense report and targets. The EU countries will die without innovation - remove the laws that are
clearly adding to this burden and not working...
672. Quality of life, economy, safety, security, immigrants (importance: 65%, disagreement: 6, evaluations:
3)
Quaity of life is what is what is expected to be improved by any Govermental authority and politicians. Certain
standards for the everyday life should be attainable for everyone. even for migrants looking for a better life.
Social inequalities in the near future will sharpen. Already it is not secure to walk in some streets, more and
more people are begging on the streets, burgleries have risen. If as EU we accept people from other countries
than we should have the infrastructre for this, otherwise we should close borders. Quality for life is not only
being able to find the fruit you wish in the supermarket, or having a school for your children close by, but
also living in a society that respects human life, considers all people equal and creates same chances for all
people.
673. Ensuring common legal-economic rules (importance: 65%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 5)
Single marketspace, single legal puzzle, single regulatory and supervisory maze in Europe. Roman Empire
revisited. At the same time varying in every way as model for future World integration, spreading across

675. Good economic - Financial system (importance: 65%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 9)
As one united states of europe we should have to collaborate with the multi nationals (GM). We need one

676. illegal immigration, employment opportunities, energy (importance: 65%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 15)
The EU has done very little so far to help Malta with the illegal immigration problem which is now repidly
evolving into a diplomatic conflict with Italy and an intolerable situation which could also mean serious clashes
with the illeagal emigrants themselves. Inflation in Malta is making it uncompetitive and this could mean a big
loss in employment opportunities. Europe's experience can help Malta in the introduction of alternative energy
thus making it more competitive.

678. should focus on immigrants and economic issues (importance: 65%, disagreement: 20, evaluations:
15)
First of all, it is necessary for the EU to help immigrants to have the chance to work to country they live.In
particular, immigrants should have the same opportunities in finding jobs as the native people do.For example,
here in greece we are not in par with the greek people, i am from albania, i live in greece for 14 years, i study
in university for political issues but i am not allowed to work in greek ambasey just because i am foreign.
679. Farm Subsidies- End farm subsidies and introduce free trade (importance: 65%, disagreement: 24,

By ending farm subsidies and opening intra and inter EU borders to free trade prices of food in Eurpe will
drop. Special interests are proving to be a huge tax burden for the benefit of the few.

680. Cancel CAP. Support free trade with non-EU countries. (importance: 65%, disagreement: 22,

Common agricultural policy have negative impact on food prices, we need to import more cheap food from
non-EU area - let the market to work, if people will not want low cost, low quality food - they won't buy it! We
need less less laws, less regulations - EU's ultimate target should be completely free market within EU, but
also outside of EU.
681. SALARY, EVERY DAY LIFE (importance: 64%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 9)
We can not live in dignity if the rich people get richer by stealing and playing their games on our expences. We
are the true power of Europe they just profit on us, so please make our lives easier let us spend our money,
earned so hard, in away that will make us happy. After all we all have only one life to live it must be a pleasand
one. When we all be dead money will not have any value for us. So every day life is the only thing that maters,
and it is your job to make it easy for the simple people. If it was to make life a living hell it will be easy for
everyone to create it.
I think that Europe needs to control immigration,and i could say that Europe must stop to accept
immigrants,because it hurts the economy of Europe and the world generally.I am an accountant,and i
could explain to you how i think the economic problem of the world is caused.For the economic crah,is
not responsible either the Golden boys of the Banks,either the Managers of the companies,it has deeper
effects,and i will explain.I think the problem of the economic crisis is caused because Europe is aging and
women in Europe dont do more children than the past centuries did.This problem is not only for Europe but
for all developed countries,like USA,Japan,Russia,Canada,Australia.I will give an example to unterstand.
For examlpe i have a store(supermarket) in a small village of 200 people and i sell them all the products,that
they need.This village in the next two decades,would have a population of 100 people and this is caused by
aging of people of that village and because the woman of that village they dont give birth.This automatically
will affect my store because i will have less clients than before,which means that i am leading to economic
destruction.I mean that this phenomenon of the small village example is happening in Europe(aging of
people,and woman dont give birth)are the two factros of economic crisis.If you dont take measures in that
sector,Europe will face serious economic damage.You cant demand people to consume and buy more when
the population of europe is going dow

Turkey and EU-membership: Negotiations on Turkey jouing the EU should be accelerated immedeately.
Turkey can act as a bridge between the Muslim world and Europe. This would be a major step in overcoming
ideological differences. Forein Policy: Too often, the member states of the EU show no unity at all, when geo-

686. Agricultural Biotechnology (importance: 64%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 13)
The EU should deregulate and approve biotech crops to improve yields and help find innovative ways to
preserve our environment and feed our growing world population. The EU also has a profound influence on
Africa and other parts of the world. Adopting biotech crops would influence developing nations that could
benefit the most from improved agriculture and increased food security.
687. Redesign Car industry (importance: 64%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 13)
Impose a design that splits a car into 2 parts : TOP and BOTTOM. The BOTTOM is standard for all cars and
to TOP is free designeble. Both parts have specific requirements that allow them to be freely interchangable,
allowing to TOP of any make to be bolted onto the standard chassis. The TOP is Free to be desisiged and the
bottom needs to have high durability standards and high technological standards to minimize environmental
impact using standardized engines.
688. Financing entrepreneurship (importance: 64%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 11)
EU should support entrepreneurship with easier financing models and methods.

689. Get the people behind Europe: do the marketing (importance: 64%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 5)
Back in the Roman empire: food and games for the people. Things have not changed that much since then.
However, competing against each other within Europe is already well established today. My idea: get some
high-visibility global gaming event and compete with a European team against the American, Australian,
Russian, Arabian, Asian teams. For example the Olympics, Biking, TV game Expedition Robinson, Formula
1, TV game De Mol, Soccer, baseball, Jeux sans frontieres. The objective is for Europe to get more of the
"United" feeling that the US already have. Also, it would demonstrate in a nice way the size of Europe within
the global context of today. Good luck !

What on earth is happenning to politicians in the whole europe...Think of the citizens not the countries.
Micro politics and microeconomics gentleman. Think of how to improve the life of us supporting you all.
macroeconomics are good to supply the reports but not the everyday life...THINK gentlemen THINK. but to
the right direction. The economic crisis and the domino effect is not all that harsh to the long term viavility of
the planet. Companies are taking the opportunity to unload personnel and keep the finances positive but they
do not realise that the unemployed will not buy cars and luxury or staple items and will reduce consumption.
Without consumption the So relax the sanctions and stay closer to people. Riots are closer than before... Also
think of your ethics people. Stop the protocol visits and reduce the cost of your living. You cannot ask people
to reduce their way of life so as to support yours. Or do it on your hard earned money and not our taxes. For
the rest you think of it. This is why you are voted to be there. Work for it...We DEMAND MORE
691. Equalize the level of economic development residual areas (importance: 64%, disagreement: 44,
evaluations: 4)
I live in the village Gvozdansko - this is war-affected area during the Serbian aggression against Croatia,
85 km from Zagreb. From here population is mainly displaced, currently here lives population older than 50
years. This is mainly low-education population. Place even no organized garbage collection and population
burns trash or thrown into the stream. Almost no one is not engaged in agriculture although there is a perfect
conditions. People live mainly from the social assistance. I moved here because I want to develop tourism
- for a very interesting history of the place (here there is an old fort, which is responsible for the defense of
Croatia and Western Europe since of the Ottoman Empire - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gvozdansko) but and
the production of healthy food. I think the State should encourage more of such or similar projects. Especially
environmental protection, which is here obviously violates.
692. competition (importance: 64%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 8)
the first example of how EU influenced my life is when they forced telecomunication companies to reduce the
roaming tariffs. it was a brillant idea. I expect them to intervine and force companies that find themselves in a
position where they can abuse customers not to do it.
693. Employment for freshly graduated students (importance: 64%, disagreement: 30, evaluations: 11)
Being myself a newly graduated student (I do have a tri-national master degree in Law) I find it hard to get
a job because most of the companies in the private sector ask for a several year working experience and
it is obvious that new graduates cannot have this experience. In addition I think the companies should give
to the freshly graduated students a chance to work and to get working experience. It is only by trying and
doing sometimes mistakes that one gets this experience. So why somehow excluding the young work-willing
generation from the job market? For me this should be an area the EU may focus on by developing new
employment friendly politics for young graduates.
694. Revigorating our economy, under direct supervision of EU (importance: 64%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 6)
After the communist regime fell, we were left with a number of successful industries. I think it was a strategy
of outside influences that this industry was to be left to ruin. This, doubled by corruption and incompetence of
the romanian authorities (government) led the country to near ruin and towards more and more dependence
of the imports. I also think that the EU had its interests here. This has to change. Our economy has to be
supported to become less and less dependant of the imports and start relying on exports. The EU should stop
considering Romania as a "third-world" market to sell its goods, but to really consider us equal partners in
developing the economy of the EU, based on productivity and self-sustainability.
695. fair trade instead of free trade (importance: 64%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 7)

696. The regulation of commerce/industry (importance: 64%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 19)
The EU already seems to lead the way in many sectors, but it should do more. Member States are often
more keen to support business than to protect citizens. Particularly in developing a strategy for reestablishing
financial stability, it is essential to establish a strong, fair, EU-wide regulatory framework for the financial/
business sector.

697. Black Economy (importance: 63%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 14)
To tax more cash transaction than non-cash transaction is useless, if cash transaction are completely black.
For example dopes and so on will not emerge. A policy of severe fines, of lower bank account expences, a
system of lower taxation, with simplifyed and advantageous taxation procedure for those who use exclusively
electronic payments. Moreover, for combacting transaction of illegal goods (dopes and weapons), the
elimination of banknotes above 100 EU would block transaction of black cash money. Those who use cash
money for this transaction may experience severe difficulties in convert these money and may leave the
change of these banknotes, with an advantage to all the citizens. Also a policy of restyling banknotes every
5 years, leaving as out-of-corrency the previous shapes, could be a valid preventive measure, also against
counterfeit!
698. harmonization of EU business licences procedures (importance: 63%, disagreement: 15, evaluations:
13)
once a business licence ("autorisation de commerce") obtained in one of the 27 countries, it should be valid
in all the other countries. this would bring many services from one country in another, beside and non-obstant
the schengen treaty. i.e. luxembourg is a very small country surrounded by france, germany and belgium. we,
as sme companies, have a huge interest as of our very small market, to expand to other markets/countries.
with 3 borders, it lies on the hand to look in the immediate neighbor countries. our luxembourgish business
licence should at least be valid in these three countries to be allowed to work in the border zone and bring our
services and/or products in these countries without the need to demand an extra domestic licence separately
in every country!
699. Co-ordinating aid in the economy of the member states. (importance: 63%, disagreement: 27,
evaluations: 17)
Since the single market is the heart of the EU, I would like to see co-ordinated action across the EU in aiding
industries where it is necessary. I am concerned that the aid provided by some member states (particularly
France) will have a distorting effect on free trade and weaken the single market. I would like to see a more
flexible, yet stronger co-ordination of state aid during this economic crisis.
700. Economic opportunities, bank sector is terrible in Bulgaria! (importance: 63%, disagreement: 29,

We need more understanding of all politics areas of the EU. The most of the people don't understand how

It is good to apply procedures that making black money productive for the normal economy than spending

709. An economic crisis? or a regulations crisis? (importance: 61%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 11)
The over exposed economic crisis has come to be known as something that American financial institutions are
at fault for. Although this may be true, I believe that the roots of the problem ultimately lie in the people behind
the regulations that the banks have to abide by, politicians who are not strong enough to take tough decisions,
and administrations who are too proud to unite with other countries to secure a better future for their own
economies and of Europe overall.
710. The EU should focus on stenghtening research and education. (importance: 61%, disagreement: 32,
evaluations: 5)
Research & development is the future. Member states don't do enough to promote scientific research and to
support young scientists. In order to stay compatable in the knowledge society, this should be different.
711. Keeping the producers within the EU borders for saving jobs. (importance: 61%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 9)
In my opinion, the EU should try to retain the producers inside its borders, and to encourage them to develop
their economic activities here, instead of "exporting" them outside of the EU. This could be made by reducing
the fiscal and environmental constrains. In this respect, I think that while the EU is pushing hard onto the
producers to respect the environment, imposing them a lot of conditions to be respected in their production
process, which all affect the costs of production, states like China, India, Russia, and even USA, do not
require such of restrictions and are attracting (except USA) more and more European producers to invest in
their economies, leaving us without more and more jobs. And we are not living here in a crystal globe, not to
be affected of the pollution made by the producers developing their activities in those countries... But this way,
the Europeans are losing their jobs every day. Besides, because of the higher production costs registered by
our producers, the products obtained within the EU become less competitive onto the international markets:
they have to compete with similar products produced with older technology, because of not having to apply
the EU acquis on environment. Please, do consider the fact that they can produce in China, India, Russia,
Brazil etc. using technology since the years '50, and they are encourage by those states to stay there and to
produce, even by receiving facilities therefore. All these with a cheaper labor force..

Stable economic growth. Making all the nesecery for continiuis stable economic groth, sustaining good living
conditions for every EU citizen.
713. Market surveillance (importance: 60%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 21)
Market surveillance is the responsibility of Member States under subsidiarity but it is resourced differently in
different countries and means different things - for example, since the Rogers Review of 2006/2007, product
safety has not been one of the identified priorities for the enforcement authorities in the United Kingdom. Even
though the New Legislative Framework for goods addresses market surveillance in a European instrument
for the first time, the onus on resourcing enforcement remains with Member States. Even without the present
economic crisis, Member States are not likely to give market surveillance budgetary priority as issues such
as health, education and pensions are the ones that win national elections. Moreover, when about 90% of
the goods imported into the Single Market come through five ports should the governments in those border
Member States be responsible for providing a disproportionate degree of market surveillance? Europe needs
a framework which can ensure an equity in definition from Member State to Member State and sufficient and
fair resourcing. Europe can have the best product legislation but it becomes worthless without effective market
surveillance.

Political- we do not need any Big brother to tell us what to do, what is right and what is not. We do´t need any
US bases in and around Europe, and we need Russians to cooperate with them not to agrivate them (radar,
Ukraina, Georgia). Economical - all turmoil came from US. Now they many pressing machines are overheating
and in the end, all world , including us, will pay for it.

1) EU should support policies to promote employments locally and prevent that every installation of a factory
becomes an auction between regions or states. Entreprises should not behave as voltures that after "eating"
the offered incentives move away. Some sort of mechanism should be put in place to discourage or control
this trend. 2) Mega investments should be carefully selected on a perspective of creation of local jobs (and
not underpaid migrants), short-medium term return, profitability, short-medium term quantifiable benefits and
long term debt burden. Risk evaluation is critical, as well, specially as far as TGV and Nuclear Power Stations
are concerned. 3) Europeans are more and more dismaied as Europe failed, so far, to be what appealed
the most to the citizens: a space of free circulation, employment and solidarity. Instead became a clone of
the neoliberal policies, a playground for the International Companies in search of qualified manpower and
an open space for all types of non-ethical practices. 4) Europe must get rid of loads of burocracy and nitty-
gritty regulations and focus in creating jobs. Failure to do so will lead quickly to social unrest, revolution,
protectionism, xenophobia radicalization of the democratic spectrum, destruction of the European Union or
suppression of Democracy.
717. Social policy (related to employment in Brussels region) (importance: 59%, disagreement: 29,
evaluations: 12)
Many private consulting companies are abusing their privileged status of being stationed in Brussels. A lot
of people would love to come to work in Brussels for a while, to have the opportunity to work on EU funded
projects. Due to the big market all the companies are perfectly aware if one person does not accept the terms,
they will find someone who will. What happens when a company wins a project and starts employing people?
PROBLEM - In a lot of cases at least for the first 6 months you are working without any kind of contract,
therefore no health insurance, social, pension, or at least a proof that you have been working somewhere
for the future reference - You work for a salary which is a bit higher then a poverty line a Belgium, of course,
while managing some €1m project, and in some cases even a small team of people - 38 working hours is
just a dream. 42 is regular week, 50 when you have a deadline Is this really acceptable to be happening
at the heart of Europe? SOLUTION - Tighter controls and inspections of that sector - Stricter rules about
employment, minimum salaries set for different levels of education - Awareness raising campaigns for the
employees about their rights and encouraging them not to accept any conditions just to be able to work.
Thank you for your attention.
718. reducing cost for governing by being innovative (importance: 59%, disagreement: 42, evaluations: 3)
By using modern technology the Peoples representatives, irrespective of them being local, national, EU or
UN, by using new solutions they can be more effective, better tuned in with their voters and the people they
represent. Furthermore it will reduce the costs of governing their "parish" and reduce the time for passing
laws. Civil servants can improve their efficiency as well and of course the CO2 reduction that can be done will
help the EU tremendouslyl
719. free trade (importance: 59%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 7)
720. The economy, immigration, balance between the EU countries (importance: 58%, disagreement: 37,
evaluations: 11)
Obviously, what is currently the most important issue for leaders is the state of the economy. In my view, it
is vital that the EU countries are able to find and implement common policies and initiatives that can help in
economic recovery and ensure the continued competitiveness of Europe in the world economy. Protectionism
has to be avoided; the future competitiveness of the EU countries' economies depends largely on how well
this goal is achieved. A question that also needs to be addressed relates to the European growth and stability
pact; many countries will probably be breaching its recommendations as a result of the growth of public
debt with the economic crisis. This risks to bring instability in the euro regime, an issue which will have to be
addressed.
721. Stop the free market delusion (importance: 58%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 14)
The market does not regulate itself as it should. The free market is a jungle, where the consumer is most
often the victim! Not only do we need regulation, but we do need state run affairs! I'd like to give the example
of train networks in the UK! It's a disaster! Nothing works, it's mega expensive and to be honest a danger for
the user! We need state run enterprises there where a basic service (water, electricity, gas, internet, mobility,
etc) has to be provided to the whole population. The state run service may have to co-exist with private
firms within the same sector, but only state run enterprises will provide services to the "least serviceable" (in
economic point of view).

The EUs trade policy with developing countries, especially ACP countries is unfair and exploitative. It should

724. Unemployment rate and financial crisis (importance: 57%, disagreement: 38, evaluations: 11)
Based on what happened during the last few months in the financial sector and how this is actually influence
the employment sector, I think it would be wise to start regulating more consequently both sectors. On the
one hand there should be a better supervision of the financial and banking entities and also one should tax
more or just prohibit the insensate salaries of the banking CEOs or directors. On the other hand one should
scrutinise more thoroughly the reasons of redundancy of the employees, especially nowadays (I think it is

Undeniable - Europe has the longest coastline for a continent its size in the world. Undeniable - fossil fuels
exert tremendous political sway. Undeniable - fossil fuels have a finite supply. Undeniable - Europe needs
to use its resources to its fullest. Undeniable - Europe should hold the balance of power between China and
the US. Undeniable - building an energy economy based on wave/wind energy is the only way Europe can
maintain its knowledge-based lead on all other continents.
726. Employment within the EU as a whole and per country. (importance: 57%, disagreement: 27,

To work is a right. I currently live in the UK and have come here from Malta with my husband. While we
are happy that he has a good lecturing job here, I cannot understand why a good and qualified teacher by
profession with a Masters degree cannot find suitable work, after applying to many schools.

local food
728. Foster competition in the telecom sector (importance: 55%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 12)
Regulations and state monopolies prevent the telecom sector from becoming a truly integrated field. For
instance, the French ARCEP regulator and the main company France Telecom are difficult to work with for
foreign companies and French companies alike. Competition in France is still rare, and the main mobile
companies SFR, Free and Orange (part of France Telecom) were recently fined for fixing prices. Consumers
can't expect the French government to do something: competition on the European level must become fiercer,
and only the EU can help that.
729. Liberalise the cross-EU car tuning and aftermarket. (importance: 55%, disagreement: 29, evaluations:
15)
I have (or wish to) change(d) several the parts on my car. The parts are premium branded top quality
aftermarket parts (Speedline, Roots, Eibach, TTE). I can buy these online from other EU member states
(primarily UK, DE and NL). When I would do that, these parts would cause me to fail my MOT in Belgium.
When I would buy them from a local dealer that went through a Belgian official importer, making the parts
30% to 50% more expensive, I would not fail MOT. The only difference is that they come with a Belgian GOCA
document that is required for the MOT (yearly vehicle safety check). I find this a very protectionist way of
dealing. Another issue is the fact that TÜV documents are not recognised in Belgium. TÜV are the German
laboratories that perform quality and safety tests on parts before they can be allowed on the German market.
E- or e- admission is very rare among tuning parts, generally they have either TÜV or ABE approval. Why
must I pay more for my parts than any other EU citizen? Why can a German or Brit come and drive my car
in Belgium safely, but I as a Belgian cannot, because I fail MOT due to administrative reasons, well-knowing
that the modified parts on the car are superior compared to the original ones! (Note: Tuning parts are in my
definition parts designed for road use on a street-legal car to improve the general quality or safety of the car.
Examples: lowering springs, coilover suspensions, anti-roll bars, exhausts, wheels, tyres, etc.)

EU should promote tolerance towards different cultures. EU needs to do it in a smart way i.e. by promoting
popular films with main characters coming from different cultures/countries, movies for children, etc. Example
to follow is the USA as far as the racial issues is concerned. Kids programs in the USA (i.e. Barney) have
always multiracial main characters. Same thing with many movies (i.e Miami Vice). EU could support with
money movies who have main characters from "historically" conflicted nations, i.e. Polish and Germans. This
way movie makers would have an extra incentive to design the story-line in the right way. This is just an idea.

790. Usage of renewable energy resources. (importance: 89%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 14)
All Europe is dependent from oil and gas extracted mostly in not politically stable and democratic countries.
Europe should focus on using as efficient as it can its natural resources: wind, water, and waste to be less
dependent on oil products. It is not only the economical benefit for the country, to keep money in the country,
and not to spend them on import, but it is an ecological issue too. Using more renewable resources means
greener Europe. So what EU must do, in my opinion, is put its focus and energy and financial support to
businesses that engages in such, green activities.

I would love for the EU to make sure that the natural environment is preserved and valorized, by working on
mantaining the biodiversity of Europe's ecosystems, keeping nature clean and supporting the development of
wildlife in all its forms. The result would be not only a wonderful accomplishment for every human being and
its role in harmony with nature, but it could also serve as EU's added value in comparison to other areas of
the world: we would be the world's nature sanctuary, an open air mega park where humans live in harmony
with nature and through nature. Since nature is everywhere and, many times, it is very much connected with
everything, we would need a EU approach to environmental issues since countries themselves wouldn't be
able to address the issue in its totality. I would like the EU to first follow the fundamental rule of "do not harm"
the environment, and then, if possible, try to contribute in making it even better.

The EU should help create awareness for environmental issues and the responsibility of the member states

to produce more responsibly in every aspect of the word. This can be accomplished by handing out fines or
handing out grants.
We have to move fast if we want our children or grand-children to have a chance. Therefore, politicians should

today in Brussels surrounded by the noise of too many cars driving too fast using very unefficiently very heavy
diesel motors. Walking every day to take the children to school should be pleasant, and it isn't because the
smell of diesel pesters the air and the noise of cars and planes disturbs us, even in quiet neighbourhoods like
WSP. The EU should firmly and quickly put forward legislation regarding: - strong encouragement to electric
and hibrid cars - stop incentives to diesel motors, the worst pollutors - prohibite circulation in neighbourhoods,
except for residents (no through traffic) - determine at least once a month a day without cars, preferably once
a week - stricter rules for airplanes, which should reduce noise, traffic and think also electric - determine strict
rules for planting of trees and recovering the environment around new buildings and streets

I believe that I am very fortunate to live on the island of Rhodes, which is proven as one of the sunniest places
in Europe (last study showed 3100 hrs per year). I'm am very unfortunate though, watching all that sun not
being reclaimed. Focusing on that, investments in solar energy would solve many problems. I believe that if
E.U. encouraged people to use solar energy for their own homes, by funding part of the investment, a big relief
would be given to the economy. All the Greek islands, along with many other places around the Mediterranean
can produce enough Solar, Wind, and Geothermal (Nisyros, Mylos, etc.) energy to power not only themselves,
but most of the mainland. The island of Samso in Denmark is a perfect example, and projects like that should
be done all over the Mediterranean, which can above all others, use solar energy better than anywhere else in
Europe.

seems that there is no or little recycling, and there are only a few recycling spots. In addition, it seems that the
greek electric company is not up to date with new technologies and this results in big emissions of gas in the
atmosphere, without any cost for the company. EU could impose strict regulations concerning preservation of
nature.

urgent, drastic action is needed now, no more talking except to also communicate loud and clear to the
citizens of Europe that they must act as well. C02 should be cut by massive investment in public transport,
an end to the massive subsidies to aeroplane companies, car manufacturers etc. Massive investment in
renewable energy and skills training in the renewables sector. Individuals should be forced to change lifestyle
to cut CO2, sorry, but as the saying goes, one person's freedom starts where the other person's ends, and
emissions in Europe contribute to catastrophic climate events in other parts of the world, as well as in Europe,
as we see with more floods and heat waves each year. Public officials need to show the way by personal
efforts to decrease their C02 production - getting rid of their cars, insulating their homes and cycling or using
public transport.

from fossil or nuclear fuels. Nuclear fuel energy should be abolished throughout europe as it is creating more
harm than good.

sources, are all responsible for poisoning the air and water of our planet. Unfortunately, pollution is a serious
crime against humanity so everybody should be concerned about it.
851. climate, sustainable development, economy (importance: 87%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 12)
the crisis is a chance to change our economy in a sustainble way; less car industry more research and
develpment, money for climate change and renewable energy, no nuclear power, no gmo´s, fighting poverty in
the ms and abroad
852. Climate Justice + Responsible Food and Agricultural Polic (importance: 87%, disagreement: 9,
evaluations: 12)
The European Union needs to respect the right to environmental justice at global level. It should also
recognise its responsibility towards vulnerable communities around the world that are confronted with the
impact of climate change by substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to adaptation
efforts with additional resources and ensuring equal access to natural resources. What is more, the EU needs
to improve the management of its agricultural market and reassert the primacy of agricultural and food policies
over trade policies. EU policies need to enable states and regional groupings of states to regulate and protect
their own agricultural markets in order to promote local sustainable farming, the basis of food sovereignty.
Changes should be implemented for the production of environment both land and fisheries. Increased
pessure due to financial and commercial interests leads to a reduction in quality of suburban and rural life;
noticeable even to non-experts...

Theres needs to be action taken at a European level on the enviroment, not nessecarily in the form of carbon
tax, but through investing in renewable energy and alterative fuel sources. Nuclear power is not the answer
and the Lisbon treaty does not set a agenda for tackling this. The EU should also give assistance to countries
suffering under the current economic climate, workers rights must be defended and must come before profit.
There should be disincentives to stop companies laying people off and free training to upskill workers who
have been laid off.

Where to start from? Why do we need all these if our planet is going to "kill" us in a few decades? It is the
greatest threat to our (european) society...
Commit to global climate change deal by implementing a C02 trading system that gives each individual on the

If the EU doesn't take the leadership in a significant way - right now - mankind will be sorry for ages...
864. Environment, clean technologies (importance: 86%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 11)
I am very worried about our planet and I wish the EU would take serious action in developing new clean
technologies for Europe and the world. This would be a wonderful way of combining competitiveness and
innovation to an alarming need for better use of our resources on the planet.
Whilst bemoaning individuals to change their habits to save energy, Governments and councils etc. carry on
blindly wasting energy, spouting rhetoric and doing nothing. They should lead by example, if they cut back we
will follow, while they continue to ignore things and don't make changes, why should we? It is not all about the
individual. It should be law - every new building (home and commercial) should be built with pholtovoltaics
built in as standard, especially large commercial buildings. This should have been put in place years ago.
Why are unnecessary lights left on overnight? The blackout that happened recently by various cities should
be happening every night without fail, the only lights need to be warning lights on the tops of tall buildings and
structures to warn aircraft, if ways need to be lighted, they should be dimmed and used stored energy from the
day only. There is so much more governments should do that is easy to put in place and would save so much,
but all they can be bothered about is talking about it and blaming the individuals - change your major wastage
and we the individuals will follow, continue to waste on a far larger scale and ignore your own requests, then
why should we bother. LEAD BY EXAMPLE
Climate change is coming. And no amount of 'fiddling' the numbers in terms of what is required of each
industry, each government, each member state, each citizen seems to bring the action to the level and extent
that it is needed. I expect the EU to be a leader in this area. I was brought up to believe that hte EU was a
model of building peace solidarity and prosperity. The risks to these values, and so far successful outcomes,
that climate change bring need better and more concerted action. It will be very disappointing if the values
that the EU was built for are not reflected in climate change policies. So many of the other areas that the EU
has worked for (development aid, agriculture, infrastructure...) and continues to work for will suffer or will be
rendered useless if this is not made the priority and cross cutting area.

Roman and other monuments, is found the neolithic settlement of Strofilas 4500-3200 B.C. Was discovered
initially in 1994 and is considered the most ancient “CITY” in Europe because of it’s size (25000 m2 with
vaulted and rectancular buildings), organised social structure (TEMPLE, FORTIFICATION wall, harbour),
as well as the developed technological and cultural society (NAVIGATION, gold, and 250 m2 ROCK

869. Environment, transport and healthcare (importance: 86%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
Europe should do more to improve the quality of air. Western Europe is one of the most air polluted areas
in the world. Research shows that air pollution is responsible for hundred thousands premature deaths in
Europe each year. Living in both the south of the Netherlands and Brussels I am every day exposed to the
bad air and this really annoys me. Especially the smog in Brussels unbearable and if you see how many cars
there are in the streets then you also where the pollution is partly coming from. This brings me to the second
area namely transport. Less use of the car should be stimulated. These days people rather take the car than
walking for or cycling for 5 minutes. As a fervent cyclist I believe Europe could do much more to stimulate
the use of bikes, public transport etc. E.g. Capitals could create more cycling lanes etc. Although the EU is
telling us what to do in terms of reducing emissions, its employees are coming by car to work.. My third area
is better cooperation between Member States on healthcare. Centres of expertises should be developed and
easy accessible to all EU citizens

872. Cleaner environment. (importance: 86%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 10)
Most basic problems in dense population areas are caused mainly by automobiles. Pollution, noise, traffic and
lack of parking spaces are serious problems that we face constantly. Clean energy is another issue. Petrol,
gas and nuclear energy are not clean, are not cheap, and are not safe. The EU should fund the research for
"green" alternatives with large amounts of money, as fast as possible!

Many issues affect our country, especially the problem of pollution in the big cities. There is a lot of smog and

882. Climate Change: Energy efficiency, usage. (importance: 86%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 18)
Climate change is one of the most serious issues that will affect the average EU citizen, regardless of
whether that citzen believes it is an overiding issue in their daily lives. The EU can be of great use in the
area of energy effiency and usage through funding research and development in effiency technologies,
harmonising Member State rules on energy production standards and public campaigns regarding energy
use by consumers. Side issue of building standards for houses and officies can also be looked at thorugh DG
Environment in which Member states can harmonise house building regulations to ensure the buildings we
build use heat energy wisely.
I finished school 10 years ago. I had heard very few things in class about ecology, environment and new
forms of energy. Recently I watched a short film about the protection of the environment made by a local
school for a contest amongst many schools in Greece. I consider this as a big step towards the protection
of nature. Teaching young people how to do something about nature, thus recycling or reforestation is very
important, as it means that citizens in the future will have a different way of thinking and living than in the past.
However more needs to be done. I live in a suburb of a city of 300,000 people and only in the center one can
find recycle bins. If there were more, I am sure that more people would like to recycle. Finally I think that we
should have more information on how to save energy and new forms of energy that can be used, as I see that
most people are not well informed. For example, I have met people of my age who didn' t know that the air-
cooler is not environment friendly or that plastic can be recycled.

germany is a good example how a good progressive energy policy can be implemented well. this is the future,
a clean future with a form of energy we all have in abundance, even in countries which are often clouded,
like the netherlands. nuclear energie is limited, coal is dirty. we want a clean world where people can live in
comfort with respect for de environment. every citizen is also les dependent from the big electricity and gas
companies. solar pannels on the roof of every house will provide this. good public transportation, good and
safe roads for cyclists will reduce our outburst of co2 gasses. the new energy and transportation policy will
create many jobs! if national governments do not implement, the EU should. stimulate small scale projects!
mobilize the citizens en local governments! listen to the regions! we will benefit on short and on long term!
more long distance high speed trains, make them cheaper, it is often cheaper to take a plain then a high

894. Eu could be so much greener than it is now.. (importance: 85%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 13)
I believe there should be better solutions to provide the citizens of Europe energy. I had this idea of making
wind turbine parks spread all over Europe to provide a big part of the industry of energy. And there should
come a plan to in which people in europe can be subsided if they place sun pannels at their roof.. Imagine that
1/10th of the houses (what is alot, but not impossible) could provide it's own energy + place energy on the net
to provide one more household than we are capable to provide energy for 1/5th of the population of europe
and the world would be a better place to breath in!
environment is one of the most important areas the EU should focus on, since it requires international

This is an issue what really bothers me.As a mother of 4 kids I am worried what's happening with our planet.
Is there not a possibility so that a united Europe work something out...maybe each citizen should give 1 € that
could be saved in a trust fund used for the prevention of global warming.Why is this issue neglected by all
politicians?Is it like they have always been doing?Just move it to the next generation?If we 're not careful, their
will be no other generation.We should be a UNITED EUROPE and stick together to take this matter serious
and save our planet.Why is the USA still not signing the KYOTO AGREEMENT? Because they still think of
how to use our earth( a capitalistic matter)instead of protecting it.We know for many years that the USA and
CHINA are the worlds biggest polluters, but still they continue like never before( especially CHINA).I think we
should listen more to what the younger GENERATION thinks about their FUTURE....and what will be left over
from nature if ' the human kind' if we continue like this.I sure hope that Mr Borrosso will take the time to read
all this and thinks further like I do , to keep our beautiful planet and all it habitants alive.

limitation ot green house effects gas rejection, which has not been really thought till now, and the effective
tools of which have not been given yet. we also need a real change in the social and work areas, global
competition between European countries and workers can not keep on this way, one needs a european
regulation to control how this competition is led, if it threatens or not working conditions, wages, and
environemental conditions of the inhabitants. We also need to put an end to the corporations' hareholders'

I'm very very concerned about climate change, and the future of our (grand)children. We have created a Union
to tackle problems that are not solvable at national level, therefore I think climate change and CO2 reduction
are only solved at EU level. I am sure we can stop or at least minimise the CO2 emissions, but only with a
radical change and a Europe wide plan. A plan for a safer future, a eco friendly living environment, and a more
sustainable society. How is the current or future EU Commission going to do this?

There are areas where the EU can have clear oversight and leadership. These include setting up rules to
temper the financial markets, international leadership on moving Europe to clean energy (which will benefit the
economy in the long run and make it an economic leader in the future). The EU must fight and lead on climate
change as well as ensuring that the EU remains an open society to immigration which an ageing EU needs.
The EU needs to become more democratic however with greater strengths handed over to the Parliament in
order to ensure its legitimacy. For all the positive actions taken by the commission, if it is not regarded as part
of a democratic institution it will fail in the long run to gain the hearts and minds of the people. This must be
addressed in the next term in order to ensure that its activities are regarded in a more positive manner by an
EU citizenship that will only become more attentive if it has a direct stake in the decision-making process.

be encourage to decentralise and built their headquarters outside of big cities. Work should be available in
small places and villages also. Example must start with the EU, which installs all its agencies in big cities
around the EU!!
Political energies are currently focused on avoiding the next financial / economic crisis, yet the scientific
community tells unless greater action is taken now climate change will cause an even more serious threat to
Europe than the current recession. A comprehensive, ambitious and international agreement must be reached
in Copenhagen. Developing countries will need extra help from Europe to take measures to tackle climate
change. The current crisis is also an opportunity to put Europe's economy on a different track - growth must
be more sustainable. Environmental externalities, particularly carbon, must be costed. Changes in business
and consumer behaviour must be incentivised. These problems cannot be addressed by member states

activity and sound environmental industrial policy. Think about tomorrow and not only about short term saving
packages for an industry that failed to jump on the sustainable train.
Make governments and their citizens more responsible towards the environment. Give more incentives to
companies complying with environmental regulations. Fine those who do not comply. Environment must be a
key area of focus from now on.

we need environmental protection to survive. economic policy ought to focus primarily to develop a

bourne. to protect our planet. the carbon-based economy must be transformed as quickly as possible to an
economy based on renewable resources. this might go against entrenched interests. but in this situation
the politicians are obliged to have the common good in mind rather than the sectoral interests of particular
industries, such as the car or electricity industry.
Environment in relationship with Solar energies.
Climate Change is one of the most important phenomena that will affect us over the next 100 years and if
politicians in Europe do not take decisive action now there will be serious consequences for people, not just in
Europe, but in many countries. I think that Europe should be leading the way on this issue and encouraging its
citizens to act in any way they can to reduce their energy consumption.

938. Enviroment (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 11)
Rather than focusing almost entirely on greener energy production or utilization, I think we should take a more
practical approach - soil conservation. Reforestation after fires should be extremely high priority as it allows
us to conserve top soil which is vital for the production of crops (an important economic factor), as well as to
maintain healthy forests which help to clean our air and fight global warming. Healthy forests are also needed
to produce lumber, at sustainable levels, adding to our sales and aiding developing nations, especially in
Africa, to build the structures needed to provide for the people of smaller communities needed services from
clinics, libraries, schools, police or other security checkpoints, etc. Eventually, this growth will have a positive
effect on illegal immigration from Africa and it will help to stabilize many regions currently plagued by disease,
famine, crime, etc.

948. The twin challange of climate and energy supply (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations:
14)
Energy consumption in the EU is a key factor for our development as we do have to import most of it;
on the other hydrocarbons do have an impact upon climate. In this light, the EU should model a strategy
equating the twin challenge of climate and energyconsumption/supply to be emulated globally. The EU
should tailor a common model stimulating further the renewable energies portfolio to foster sustainble
develpment and growth; diversify its energy supplies; undundle the enrgy sector in order to avoid the EU
resorting to its intergovernamental cocoon whenever a mojor problem arises; and re-design its "near abroad"
and enelargment policies. It is obvious Russia did resort to realist and double standard policies and "tit-
for-tat" tactics, whilst using the energy supplies as a foreign policy lever. The EU needs to build a common
stance, speak more in tune internally in order to rise as a powerful international actor able to stable Europe
eastwardly. The last energy crisis is a sign to be carefully pondered in the equation energy production-transit-
consumption. It is about time to realise Russia is an unvoidable partner to be handled subtely and that it
ready to take any sort of action to be the major actor worldwide on the assumption Putin is right when he says
Russia holds the biggest natural gas and oil resources. To sum up, it important that the EU learns quickly "how
to dance with the bear without getting mauled". The EU is an international actor!

environmental taxes have to decided among all EU countries, in order to avoid, as much as possible, the
creation of Pollution havens. Also, some more rules could be taken about cars or truck, but once more, a free
rider problems could happen, leading to a massive immatriculation in only one Member States My thinking
is the following, even if environmental issues remain mostly in the hand of Member States, the Commission
has always found a way to increase its power or at least to put much more pression on member states, the
Parliament could actually do the same.
952. Global warming (importance: 84%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 26)
EU member states domestically reduce emissions by at least 30% by 2020 and at least 80% by 2050 (both
compared to 1990 levels). To achieve these targets, European development will need to veer towards a more
sustainable and low carbon development model. The reductions must be achieved entirely within the EU and
not bought in from overseas.
953. environment protection (importance: 84%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 13)
Topics concerning environment protection should be shiftet away from the nations to the EU to implement an
European plan to save our environment. More environment friendly technologies should be promoted (solar-,
wind-energy, environment friendly transportation,...). This includes the promotion of local supply (e.g. food,
agro products,...) to avoid the transportation of products all over Europe (e.g. nobody needs irish butter in
Italy or german milk products in Hungary). There should be more cooperation concerning public transportation
between the several nations - this could be coordinated on EU level. Last but not least the Kyoto and
Kobenhaven goals attainment should be ensured on EU level!
954. tackling climate change (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 14)
EU should encourage development of green technologies for a competitive european industry

There is a clear need for incentives and drives towards the use of green energy in the EU. By motivating
countries and intensifying the exchange of technology and the general knowledge, we will find a viable
solution to the environmental issue. Moreover, one should better focus on green issues in a time of economic
crisis. Let's be realistic: we will not win against the BRIC countries in the heavy industry sector. Let(s put
more efforts towards green energy and industry but also in the education in this sector. My brother wants to
study it but the possibilities are blurry and not clear. By orienting the whole society toward a new mode of
consumption, towards products with a lower environment footprint it will kick start our economies, create jobs
other countries cannot yet compete on and prove our will to go forward for the planet

1. Please rever to my answers from the first section of the survey. 2. As I read some of the other poller's
opinions I think that the Lisabon treaty might be of an extreme importance as it would be the basis on which
greater EU unfication or unique European identity would be promoted. Probably the EU officials should work
for bringing closer the EU structures to its citizens. I live in Bulgaria and Sofia is much different from Brussels.
I know there are European institutions in Belgium but I don't feel any connection with them. Their actions are a
bit fuzzy and the reason for decisions aren't clear as they aren't announced in a manner easily understood by
the common citizen. I know The Lisabon Treaty lays the foundations of a greater and stronger union. But how
would that affect my daily life? People want to know this, nothing else. How would that affect people mobility
within the EU? How would that affect immigration policies? How would it make me feel closer to the Hungarian
or the Lithuanian, for example? Mil thanks for the attention.
Europe should invest more money in projects which are preventing environment or creating new ecologically-
friendly products or services.

All processes and political documents should be planned as part of one big document/ project, which

environment, especially water. There should be more important connection between environment, energetic,
transport systems etc.

We must focus on new power technologies- fossil fuels can no longer be the basis of our economy and way
of life for three reasons: enviromental issues and global warning, money transfering to oil-producing countries
and independence from resources that EU countries do not have. We musy be power-indepentent and the
best way to do so is to also protect nature: by alternative power resources like Sun and wind power.

969. Energy-Environment-Health-education (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
As a citizen of Europe, I have a feeling that money talks! Not people and our future (of mankind) in the
longterm. Therefore I think that the focus should be to lessen the strength of trusts and lobbies. Force
politicians to think humanity. Direct education in the sense of belonging to a whole, strike individualism.
Promote self awareness and equal rights to life, freedom, health, education and travel. Crazy idea: A salary
cup as in the NBA. No cie is allowed more than x gains or income. Xtras to be put to the common basket.
Same for individuals: From the simple worker to the president or PM, nobody can earn more than...! No
added bonuses or gifts or ...! Create multiple small communities (with limitations as to sizes) that interact and
are accountable for local needs on a social basis (from health & security to education). All members of each
community provide, to the prorata of their income, for the expenses of the community. All are responsible for
the correct use of funds. Nobody, whether elected or appointed to public places can keep position more than
x years. Create a pyramid of responsabilities in public life where everybody is accountable for acts and deeds.
Focus on technology with health, energy and environment in mind. Extreme: abolish arms (besides the simple
type for upkeeping the peace amongst civilians) and military status. Violence = genes, frustration, inequalities,
lack of education. Focus the academic community on these issues. Implement results in societ

Europe must become more responsible. We have always been in the front line of progress and development.
Europeans have always been sensitive in matters of environmental responsibility. Environment MUST be in
the top priorities. This can never be conceived apart from education. Children must learn from an early age
about their responsibility towards the environment and animals. The civilization of a nation is depicted in the
behavior towards the animals and nature. Culture must also be in the top of our goals.

carelessness the problems persist , and nothing really seems to improve. Does destruction have to arrive at

Green energy is already a hot topic on EU level. A great problem is that appearantly a large amount of money
is spent on the wrong kind of green energy. Why is solar power being encouraged that much, when scientific
studies show that solar panels cost too much (not for the subsidated consumer, but in general) to pay off, and
still costs a lot of non-green energy to produce these solar panels. Solar panels become less efficient every
year. In contrast to wind energy. Only the gear wheel of a wind turbine needs replacement after a while, but
the created energy stays the same every year. Also, to provide the same amount of green energy than one
wind turbine, a whole field of solar panels has to be placed. Besides from the nucleair energy that is still the
greenest way in proportion to the amount of energy it creates, wind energy should be encouraged so that
more constructors of these wind turbines enter the market and they compete to create an even better wind
turbine.

998. Environment, employment and new technologies.... (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15,

Environment is important so the EU must apply policies to imporve our way of living and the environment we

employment in other EU countries. Finally, new tech is the future so the EU must increase investment in
research and also apply new techs in our daily lives sooner and more effectively.
999. Energy & Environment (importance: 82%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 12)
The creation of EU ETS is quite a good decision and implementation of a motivation mechanism for the
industry. Unfortunately, it is still inadequate to the needs of the market - currently the CO2 eq. price is about
10 EUR/t. The emission certification methods are used only on paper and present abstract results. There
are technologies that will be applicable only if direct measurement is applied. In addition, there are vast
amount of money invested by the EC for examination and possible implementation of carbon capture and
storage technology, which is too expensive and too risky to be applied.. ever. There is a need of examining
not only one technology related to GHG and climate change, but exactly the oposite - the EC should support
development of knowledge for every possible technology that could have positive effect on environment.

i think the EU should do more to make people more aware on how to reduce energy usage, energy conserving
bulbs, the recent earth hour are all perfect examples but it might be nice to have energy companies to have
warning bulbs attached to households which show when you consume too much energy. there should be a
more dedicated effort to reduce energy usage or more importantly a move towards more green sources of

In my country, Greece, there's practically no interest for using new types of energy to exploit. Greece is so

kind of campaign as to inform the citizens and especially the people who are occupying with industry and
business, about the other forms of energy and how they could facilitate our lives and avoid the environmental
pollution. Another fact that aggravates the situation is the absence of places where there could be a sanitary
burial or process of wastes. Unfortunately here in Greece these places are extremely rare and that's another
factor that doesn't help the protection of the environment.

1023. Tackling climate change (importance: 82%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 18)

The main important point for me is to get the same rights for everybody throughout the European Union. Same
rights in respect of sexual orientation, same rights in privacy or same rights in the right to have a painless
death and when I decide it. For me, it the worst point of the Lisbon Treaty is the lose of the Chart of Rights.
Besides it, the policy on transport and climate change is a very important point. A huge movement in favour of
public transport will tack our carbon footprint, and will improve our quality of life. The lack of public transpor is
particularly important on the countryside, so the UE must focus on those areas, to help to redistribute people
and to populate places where our carbon footprint can be integrated on the nature on a best way.

All the above are linked. The current crisis is undermining the growth and stability pact and some MS are
challenging the principles of the Single Market. This bad for the economy and bad for job creation. The rising
national debts will create problems when govts are faced with with increasing health care costs for the rising
number of elderly, forcing them to choose between budget cuts elsewhere, reducing the quality of care or
increasing taxes. Global warming is a real concern but the current focus is wrong. We are punishing our
own industry before we know what others will do and not focusing on the area of greatest potential benefit:
energy efficiency. Nor are we forcing individuals to really re-think there impact on the environment (no doubt
not to loose their votes). If we cripple our industry without achieveing global CO2 reductions we won't save the
planet and we'll destroy job creating industries. I feel that the EU has lost its way. It no longer has a project
which drives it and behind which the people can mobilise. Global Warming is clearly and option but it is still
divisive. How about completing the single market? Lisbon Strategy 2 (the green economy)? If our social
model is to be sustained for the next 50 years, we have to remain competitive on a global scale. Innovation
and education are our 2 greatest assets and we are not giving either the attention they deserve.

those who are caught violating them. another big problem of mine is that i am caught much like a fish or a lab
rat without my consent by the American government. i think it is a military program where they implant micro
chips in humans somewhere in the neck area without these people's/subject's knowledge or informed consent.
crazy or not my thoughts are being read over the internet on a website to which i do not have acess. this has
caused so far an enormous damage to my mental health and personal live. i tried to inform the authorities in
Bulgaria but noone even wants to pay a zero attention and instead i was sent to a psychiatrist. in regard to
this problem i had done a few test-MRI scan, radiography and a few others on which it is clearly visible that
there are a few growths or metal implants in the neck area. i have one on the inside of my cheek, another one
in my right ear. i am not certain bu there might be in my left ear as well or somewhere at the basis of the brain.

end my life in minutes. it is controlled remotely and when activated squeezes the artery and reducy the blood

solution, but it needs to stop. The distance between politicians and the people has become wider over the
years, and they seem to be working for them selves and not the people/world as a whole. The world is sick,
and the only way to cure it, is to start thinking about how to make it better, and not just treat the symptoms.
Instead of removing the things that hurt the earth, we try to give a pill to make it better. The pills does not work.
the only way the cure the world and scociety as a whole, is to remove the things that makes them hurt. Money
is one of them...profit is an illusion made reality. The world is being run by greedy people. War is another...

Data show clearly that the natural resource base of Europe is degrading due to over exploitation and poor
management. Water supply falls well short of expected needs. This is compounded by industrial pollution,
untreated sewerage, and contamination of ground water by arsenic. The land quality is degrading due to over
exploitation and increased use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Biodiversity is disappearing rapidly and
with it the genetic pool for future adaptation. These problems are compounded by the high incidence of natural
disasters and the increasing influence of climate change which seems to be increasing the frequency of
extreme weather events and will reduce land area through sea level rise in the years ahead. There is a strong
relationship between health and environmental quality which is not being addressed by the National Health

It is unacceptable that a species like humans, who claim to have been enlightened more than 200 years ago,

but no excuses should be made: - all cars should be banned unless they are produced with the cleanest
engines possible - all cars should be limited in size, especially for the cities, where SUV's are too big, and
dangerous for all other traffic, and waste gasoline like hell! - industry should be limited to products that
are usefull and needed, and an overproduction of 10000000000000 dig-ferent models of mobiles, mp3-
players ... and other crap should not be allowed! WE ARE, OR BETTER YET, WE SHOULD BE SMARTER
THAN TO WASTE OUR RESOURCES ON THE PRODUCTION OF USELESS CRAP! - industry should be
strictly regulated as to environmental issues - Flighing should be limited to necessary flights, and people
should get more time for holidays, so they can take more time out for transportation which does not kill
nature so fast. THERE ARE ALREADY TOO MANY PEOPLE, SO WE SHOULD WORK LESS HOURS,
DIVIDE THE INCOMES MORE FAIRLY, AND IN THAT WAY ALLOW OURSELVES TO SLOW DOWN AND
ENJOY THE HAPPY LIVES WE COULD EASILY LEAD, IF WE DID NOT LOSE OURSELVES IN USELSS
CONSUMPTION. Ages ago people dreamt of lives we could now easily lead, yet we are too stupid to realize it,
and keep wanting more! This is a task for the people, politicians should lead the way! No compromises!

creating a positive environment for europeans depends on addressing the areas which impact our daily lives -

current economic crisis tells us nothing else - it should remind us that the European Union was created out of
the need to recover prosperity and social stability in the post-War years - and is therefore still very relevant to
our daily lives. Watch the protests in London this week to get a flavour of what it means to let the markets rule.

to act act more on that level by - taking real measures (not just announcing long-term goals for reduction of
the level of CO2, which we are not even sure will be reached): encourage "green" innovations, encourage
investment in renewable energies, act in the field of public transports, and impose rules to the car industry. -

these days, in fact. In order to stay below 2 degrees Celsius, the EU targets need to shift substantially. Also
the EU should stop fearing of making the first in international climate negotiations. It is up to the Commission
to propose concrete mechanisms how the EU will cover its "fair share" of contribution to climate change
assistance in developing countries. The EU does something, however, it is still far from enough.

1056. democratization of EU, student mobility, environmental issue (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 16)
student mobility among european states apart from erasmus programme should be encouraged. I have
been ın the netherlands through ERASMUS for 5 months and I would say that student should have such an
experience.ıf EU, attaches more importance and proivdes more grnats on such programmes, more students
will enjoy mobility programmes. also, environmental issues make up the current world problems.especially
global warming, emission of C2O shuld be paid great attention.EU shouldn t be indiffrent to the world
development,especially poverty in africa.

1059. social justice, human atonomy, environmental sustainability, (importance: 81%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 10)
I think that we are in a unique position, historically speaking, since we don't need to be concerned simply
with producing life's necessity's anymore. We can focus on education, culture, spare time and general
improvements in people's mental conditions and quality of life. For this to take place we need to stop
being obsessed with economic growth and corporate profit rates, and thus redirect focus to true human
development. Incidentally, changing our priorities in such a manner would also benefit the environment
and make our culture sustainable in the long run, which means that there is a perfect fit between actual
development and a sustainable future. We therefore need to make significant economic and political
changes, but such changes must obviously stem from changing social priorities and norms (they can't be
externally imposed) and here I think the EU can play a cruical role. The EU can contribute to the abandonment
of old, narrow-minded national selfishness and instead spread a different set of values, based on solidarity,
social justice and human well-being. The transcendence of the materialist and inherently unsatisfying capitalist
ideology is thus necessary both for environmental survival and for true human progress, and the EU is in a
unique position to work towards this goal.
1060. ban smoking, environment, multilingualism, gender rights (importance: 81%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 7)
Smoking should be forbidden alt least in restaurants and working places. But I would prefer also outdoor, if
there's anybody in the vicinity. Much more focus should be put on saving the environment. Make cars much
more expensive and haul public transport (no cars in the center of the cities). Everybody should be able to
speak at least 3 languages. I learned up to now 9 and I'm a fan of the saying: " As many languages you speak,
as often you are a human being." Much should be done to give men and women equal rights and duties. This
begins with the language, that we also use the female terms, if they exist.
sustainable development --> economy & ecology
1062. Energy, traffic and pollution (importance: 81%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 19)
Energy should be for the greatest part green to help reduce pollution (Flanders one of the most polluted
regions in the EU). Green energy should be cheaper than conventional and people should be able to
get more help for installing isolation, heating, electricity/gas in their homes that is more friendly for the
environment. Traffic jams every morning and evening, cause lots of irritation (bad for health) and pollution
of the environment (also bad for our health). In Belgium most cars are diesel, so that's really bad for the
environment. Hybrid cars, diesel filters, better connections by public transportation (train schedules in Belgium
are not so good). Working one or more days from home instead of going to the office should be advised and
made more attractive for employers.
1063. Protect the environment (importance: 81%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 19)
I would really want you to do more about the environment! I just want to know that my friends' kids and my
kids (if I ever have any) will be able to live in Europe! You should give more money in order to make good,
reliable and efficient cars that will work with electric power! And that you will give people good motives to use
them!!! And, of course, that you will do more about pollution due to industry... You know there is always more
to do about that...

106

Europe, as a great economic power, can do a lot to help the environment. By pushing the large European
companies to go green and also pushing for international agreements on the environment and making solid
commitments to voluntarily reduce our footprint, we can lead the world into saving the planet. Of course, it is
also important to convince citizens they need to do their part.
1065. convert EU to renewable energies and stop burnign petroleum (importance: 81%, disagreement:
problem with renewables is to stabilise the grid, but if we convert petrol cars to electic cars that are able to
change batteries when they are flat (at tank stations) most cars could run on electricity. millions of charging
batteries coudl stabilise the grid and we could use mainly wind, solar, hydroelectirc and waves. Petroleum
can be saved for industrial production of plastics polymers etc. It is feasable business for a millions and it
can work with a kick start. other than that saving energy in buildings where the greatest dispersion exists,
starting from the EU Commission buildings where the termperatute is too high.
1067. Economic and ecological issues , employment, enlargement. (importance: 81%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 11)
Young and old , we all know the most difficult situation a European can find himself, just as any other human
being on Earth, is to lack the means to take care of his loved ones: parents, husband, children. While it is
true that crisis can provoke smart innovations and good ideas to come out of each of us ( Einstein ), on the
long run it can create a state of dispair and depression that would not only impede on the growth of Europe
s population but will turn against the principles we are basing Europe and European Union on today. By
taking care of our generations we must create a better view of the economic and ecologic future we want the
European generations to come to live in. We must acknowledge its diversity and embrace it. This way the
economical and internal market stability will ensure a viable reply to the needs of our chidlren. This way all our
ancestors efforts and ours as well won t heve been in vain . A new instrument must be created and included
in the Treaty of Lisbon to allow new Member States to assume more responsability towards the creation and
the continuation of the EU ' s goals in the 22 century. Fears must be overcomed. A good startegy for inclusion
can create an incredible added value to our culture. EU has no limits just boudaries to keep its citizens safe.
This should be understood by all people. I am very pround I work with Europeans of multiple nationalities and
I hope EU s door will open soon to new candidate countries.

1072. Global warming EU expansion North-South imbalance War (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 16)
The most serious challenge facing Europe in the long term is a decline in its population and workforce. In
order to counter this, we need to deepen integration so Europe can present a unified worldview as the world's
largest economy, increase immigration to Europe, and integrate Turkey, Ukraine and the Caucasus nations
into the EU. At the same time, we must take advantage of our vast economic resources as Europeans to
build up Africa and the developing world in general, following the principles of enlightened self-interest à la
the Marshall Plan. By building schools and fighting corruption, we will strike terrorism at its roots instead of
sending soldiers when it's too late. Climate change is without a doubt a serious issue, but it is being handled
with a worrying mixture of incompetence and disunity in Europe; to take an example from my home country of
Denmark, the government plans to tear down the impressive Great Belt Bridge and replace it with a carbon-
capturing tunnel*. Why, do I wonder, are we destroying a perfectly good bridge that has become a national
icon, and replacing it with a tunnel that sucks up the CO2 instead of removing the polluting cars? What's
needed is a resurgence of public transport alongside research into renewable fuel technology, for the few
instances where people actually need to drive. *This may be an April Fool's joke in the newspaper, but it
illustrates how badly the situation is being handled.

I think that Eu should boost the democratic process of election and rapresentation, in order to give the EU

Gree Energy shoukld be evluated and follow also by Europe too.
The climate change is a threath to all of us. We need to think more green and the know-how from countries
like Finland and Sweden has to be moved from there and delivered out in the other EU countries. We are
facing one of the modern times hardest issues, but EU has to show the world that we are taking the issue
serious and so should the rest as well.

When there is one market, the EU should think about the consequences (energy, food) Connections in europe:
mobility (autoways, railways) Water - think about the future - also in relation of climate
The EU should put in place strict measures for reducing carbon emissions and pollution of all kinds. A solution
to convert all cars into electric or hibrid motors could be easily found would the adequate encouragements.
Measures to reduce cars allowed into cities are essential. Make compulsory all EU round once a month
a day without cars. Reduce speed limits in family neighbourhoods. Compulsory planting of mature trees
should be made compulsory for companies. Public services should give the example and ONLY use electric
transportation. Planes and cars should be reduced drastically or altered to less noise and pollution.
as well.
1090. Green Energy (importance: 80%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 13)
I would like to see the EU pass more stringent legislation concerning simple things such as light bulbs, for
example. I am amazed and shocked to see how little interest there seems to be in safeguarding our future
upon this Planet. One does not need to look far to get to studies that show the exponential rise of CO2 caused
directly by human activities. LEDs, for example, use 10% of the energy that current incandescent light-bulbs
use and are noticeably safer than the mercury-containing alternatives that are currently being hailed as the
next best thing. In addition to this, I am more and more outraged by the EU attitude towards agriculture and
our overall food consumption chain. Walking down the aisle of any supermarket is truly a pain as almost 90%
of produce come from afar. Bringing them to our insatiable plates requires so much energy and creates so
much unnecessary pollution that the whole process seems totally absurd. I would like to see the EU get really
tough on this issue, but I recognise that it is politically way too sensitive to make it past any first steps. I wish
the EU politicians would be able to see further than their noses and actually work for the people and this single
Planet we live upon and not just their own insatiable desire for wealth and comfort.
1091. Consumer potection, energy and climate change, minorities.. (importance: 80%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 14)
The EU should focus on providing education/information to people related to enery saving, waste recycling,
water recycling, etc. As I am ure people will be willing to stick to the recommendations, provided they have
information. Pollution, and the exhaustion of natural resources, greenhouse gas emissions are things we
all should care about. Also focus in public health sector - food labels, ingredients /min levels og GMS/, toys,
cosmetics safety, disease prevention, campaign for healthy lifestyle. All these things are to fight two of the
problems of modern Europe - aging and obesity. And of course the safety of population. More information
about people mobility /working, studing/ in the EU. Programmes stimulating creativity and innovation. More
facilities and social integration for disabled people. Programmes on gender and race equality. Agianst sexual
harrassment at work. Stimulating creativity and innovation. Introducing biofuels in the coutry and educate
about fuel saving.
Reduce CO2 emissions, and other ozone damaging emissions, prevent the industries from simply moving to
poor countries where there is no emission reduction, provide a lot of money (tens of billions) to poor countries

The eu is the ultimate institution to fight situations where strong parties (money, influence) are excluded from
normal laws to be able to continue their unfair business, like those in the field of uncontrolled 'health' care,
carbon dioxide and other emissions (chemical industries, airlines, automobiles), noise (airlines), etc etc.
1094. Ecological and environmental preservation, sustainability (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 22)
We are living thoughtlessly, with no heed for the future of our planet and its limited reserves. Our short-term
thinking and selfishness is having a huge impact on our environment, on the multitude of life, plants and
animals that share our world with us. We need to think carefully about how to preserve the various eco-
habitats on land and sea, how to use the remaining reserves of energy and materials in a thoughtful and
environmentally friendly way, recycling as much as we can back into usage, and creating houses, furniture,
our entire infrastructure in a sustainable manner.
1095. The EU should be focussing on enforcing ecological policies (importance: 80%, disagreement: 24,
evaluations: 11)
As everybody knows around now, ecology & environment are the basic framework for our very lives. This
includes that the welfare of our environmental health should be in our thoughts when making every decision.
Economic benefit alone just won't do, there is need of 'weighing the scales' on any and every decision, against
(wo)man's environment and survival.
1096. environmental and social sustainability (importance: 80%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 16)
During the current economic crisis environmental issues seem to be associated with less or no importance
anymore. Politicans do not talk about it anymore, doing anything about is totally out of question, but
also ´many citizens get angry when you try to discuss with them, why we nevertheless have to stick to
environmental sustainability. Furthermore I think that EU (and its member states separately as well) have
to do more to create social 'cohesion' and make the people feel part of their society. On the one hand it is
outrageous that in the developing world the prosperity levels between rich and poor diverge more and more,
and this already for decades; when politicans hide cowardly behind statements 'that is the market' or 'we can
not do anything against it' they just lie - of course you can do something against it, if you want. In the next
decades this cleavages between rich/poor, educated/uneducated, citizens/migrats, men/women will get worse
if nobody is doing anything against it - we need action: on the one hand with financial redistributation, but also
more culturally/socially that people feel belonging together more again. (what is strongly linked to this: right-
wing radicalism among younger people - mostly on the countryside; it is rising and if we can not go on just
ignoring this problem!)
1097. environmental/energy issues; relationships with world (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 15)
I see the importance of a sustainable environment and renewable energy supply in Europe as fundamental to
the growth of my own life, as well as my family's and the rest of the world, but I think the links on global and
european trade that EU has achieved are not matching the expectations that I had from the institutions that
have been formed and I supported with my voting as a European citizen though the last 20 years. It seems
that until today although EU has the best possible policies and evolution of practices on sustainability very
little and slow progress is happening on the ground and in all our internal and international trade links there
is little matching those environmental and energy policies. In effect the pace is far slower than the priority to
tackle the issues especially those linked to climate change. The response to the economic meltdown caused
recently had very proactive response and vast resources pouring out of all our budgets as taxpayers. Totally
disproportionate budgets however are pouring to the proximity of serious achievements of an unavoidable
climate change catastrophy that is still occassionally not taken as seriously by actions delivered by politicians,
as much as their good policy papers would like to have defined. Unclear why that is happening under your
eyes, I am cautious about the future of my children especially in relationship to the rest of the world who rightly
blame us and other wealthy societies on those environmental destructions.
1098. Environmental problems (importance: 80%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 14)
Air quality is going down. Green energy is not accesible fast enough. Some biofuels aren't available. Countries

copyright: the eu should not only answer to big lobbying organisations but also consider the needs of small
artists and the reality of "sampling", maybe create something like "fair use". data retention: i'm feeling more
and more living in orwell's 1984. drugs: the "war on drugs" seems to be lost - why not change laws instead of
denying reality ? enviroment: many new streets are build, the automotive is saved from financial perils (again
and again) and with the financial crisis as petty escuse, industries lobby countries into weakening their stance
on enviromental issues - until it will be too late (as it probably is already). equality: the gap between rich and
poor widens, people who are born rich not only get better education, better jobs, become influential powers in
society (politicians, industry,...), by now, this can even come to a decision between getting an education and
not being able to afford one. same goes for medical treatment, legal counsel, internships,... democracy: How
is it possible to vote for an EU-Parlament but only being able to vote for politicians from one's own country?
(by whom i don't feel represented at all) Why are there no eu-wide referenda ? This feels like living in the 19th-
20th century. How shall we ever overcome small-minded national thoughts if we don't get any other way than
thinking national ?
I would have liked to say foreign policy, but I'm not that crazy to believe that the old thoughts of the EU fathers
and grand-fathers ever can be achieved. I think that EU's in a great position to pump money and incentive into
green policies we desperately need today. Especially building regulations could be greener and states could
ofer help for people who want to make their house a little greener. Windpower is also a great idea. Although
it's uggly, itn deffinitely looks like a good option.

Although Bulgaria is since 2007 a fullfledged EU member-state, we, the Bulgarians, don't have rights like
fullfledge Europeans. We may not work legally in all member-states and we will have to wait for 3 to 7 years
befor some states opening up their labour markets. On the ohter side, the citizens of same countries may
work on our labour market. I think this is a discrimination within the EU and in breach with one of the main
founding freedems of the EU. Because the EU speaks one and makes ohters. It is not in its interest to have
different standards towards the old and the new members. The unsufficient communication between the EU
and the member state is also a problem. The high representatives of the Commission and MEP when elected
to EU posts forgot who they are serving and which interests they are elected to protect

It is important to balance public good interests against individual industry sector/company interests. Too often
the commission makes decisions heavily biased towards industry/shareholders interests. The decisions are
based on impact assessments that consider earning capacity and bottom lines without equally considering
negative consequences on public health and the environment where a precise causal cost cannot always
be calculated. Moreover, even where the costs to society can be calculated, the benefits of health and a
sustainable environment go beyond the economic costs.

1108. True environmental policy (importance: 79%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 16)
Member states should concentrate on real measures to protect the environment. Experts know better, let them
giude the way we will deal with our everyday life to be more environment conscient, and parallelly, give the
necesary incentives for the industry to change the way they handle their wastes. Also, old fashioned ways to
get electric power should be forbidden in at most a 10 year span.

Why the wind and sun energy is so expensive? It's because no suficcient R&D is involved. So we must focus

Turning all kinds of waste can have a great impact on CO2 reduction, prolong the availability of fossils for
raw materials in stead of burning it. Some of it can be done locally and thus reduce the need for extra power
lines; the local visibility will also be a way to involve the local people in improving their awareness for the
environment. Even better, turning costs into profits!
1118. healthy living environment, good public transport, education (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 14)
EU should focus on preserving nature reserves. We should think and live ecologically. We should make an
analysis how we waste resources (both food, energy, space, nature) and stop this waste. We need to invest
in public transport and at the same time make people who use cars in the cities pay. Companies who provide
their employees with unnecessary company cars as a bonus should be discouraged from doing so, or at
least they should contribute in the same amount to the development of public transport. We should make
an education of children a priority. This should entail not only a formal educatioin, but also cultural. Children
should be given opportunity to develop their musical and artistic talents, participate in sports clubs, etc.
Those activities need to be promoted as much as possible. Parents need to get the reflex to engage children
in various activities. This, however, must not bring them an extra financial burden. Finally, we need to show
to people what Europe has achieved. Make a spots on TV or ads in magazines which presentations of final
projects that have been achieved thanks to EU.

I strongly believe in personal liberty, but not when it negatively affects humanity as a whole. The two biggest
problems facing our species today (climate change and the financial crisis) are the direct result of selfish
people who don't care for the consequences of their actions. Please, more legislation is needed to restrict
the harmful and damaging activities that have lead to these interrelated crises. Ban incandescent bulbs, limit
plastic packaging, insulate all buildings phase in hydrogen fuel cells, nuclear power and renewable energies.

Women still earn much less than men (with equal qualifications in an equal position) and are subject to
domestic violence (and murder) and rape to a much higher degree than men. In many MS only about 5% of
all rape charges lead to a conviction, which then is often far too lenient. There are not enough women in high
positions in either government nor companies. However, women hold up half the sky, as the saying goes and
there continued harassment holds us up as societies and keeps us, the EU, from reaching its full potential.
Concerning climate change: It almost seems silly to have to elaborate. This threatens our common future. It
affects all of us and may destroy this earth completely. This problem cannot be tackled by one member state
alone, it requires by its very nature a EUROPEAN response.

Environment. We need way way way stricter, tougher laws and policies regarding CO2 emissions and we
need to move forward quicker on it because the science is not looking promising. It needs firm political
leadership because without that initiatives won't happen and relying on public goodwill and business goodwill
is not enough. We need to bring down emissions by about 80% in the next 6 years or so (not by 2050) and
we need to show leadership for the rest of the world. We shoudn't be trading carbon, we should just not be
using it! We need to put loads of money into renewables and start thinking about switching to a non-oil based
society/economy. QUICKLY!

Whether to debate if men is really responsible for a possible climate change or not (different opinions exist),
cleaner and independent energy will benefit us all. Not only for the (obvious) importance of a more healthy
living environment, but also economically. The best way to achieve this would be - in my humble opinion
- to look at the current and future energy needs, and shifting budget from the least cost-effective energy
investment into the creation of industrial think-tanks, that would then provide their knowledge to the industry,
for them to productize. All this, while maintaining the better cost-effective energy, even if we know this form of
energy (e.g. nucleair, but I'm not the expert) will last only for a certain transition period...

I beleive that EU should focus on every aspect of the european citizens. However, the areas essencial to

(with training and awareness campaings), energy (ensure low external dependency), social, economic and
territorial coehsion (sustainable growth for every region of the EU) and financial crisis (ensure the necessary
instruments to avoid a future crisis and create mecanisms to overcome the current situation).

I think that all EU should incentivate more and more its citizens to have renewable sources of energy, by
making afordable to get the equipments necessary to that, since they're very expensive. For exemple in
Southern Europe countries to fully fund the instalation of solar panels, and for exemple in nothern Europe
regions the instalations of small turbines to produce energy locally. Or if not in a individual way, to promote
together with the local authorities the management and acquisition of those equipments.

EU moves to fast and leave the people behind. Let EU be an EU for the people and not for your own
ambisions. Rome was not built on one day and EU can not be built sucessfully in to short time. 50 years can
look as a "long time" but it´s to short for 27 nations to be united and start acting as one unit. By "pushing"
people you will get a hard push back soner or later. Also, stay away from all those detail regulations! Go back
to the old "compas" telling the peopel about the principe of subsidiarity. Noone beleive in that anymore as you
in the top of EU seems to all have forgotten about what yopu told us in Sweden (and other countries) befor
joining. I am positive to continue to be a member of EU but very critical to the way EU has taken most power
from national parliaments and individual countries. Currently you try to build someting most people do not ask
for. And you seems "speed-blind" and have lost focus of what EU was ment to be. To be onest the current EU
looks more and more like the old Sovjet with a "central committé" taking all the decisions over the head of the

1148. global warming - economy - state of the dipraved / disabled (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 18)
Pollution, global warming, water resources should be on top of the list simply because our children will be
much more affected than we are. If we care about them if we want them to keep living in a decent world,
then EU policies should be set in motion towards this direction. It's not a question whether we can reduce
emissions, stick to the Kioto protocole or punish the violators, it's a case of simple human or better still
parental sensitivity of those in charge. Synergies between countries, and exploitation of all those who want to
help should set the first step towards fighting the problem. It's not the leaderships of the countries who can
do it, it's the people within the countries. However, leaderships and governments can inspire simple people.
As far as the economy is concerned the problem is not poverty, the problem is not the world crisis, but it is
much simpler and we all know it; it is a matter of how wealth is divided. It is simple mathematics (which does
not have any relation to politics whatsoever). If each one of the 6.7 billion people had half a million dollars,
everyone in the world would be rich and still the money the banks have received as an extra aid would not
finish.

1. Bulgaria needs better laws to be passed. If there are less loops in them, less inconsistencies and better
alignment within legal texts, both judiciary and executive powers wouldn't be able to bend the law. No-one
would be able to make excuses for not obeying the rules. 2. Better rules mean less corruption but that wouldn't
be enough. People would need to change mentality, so NGOs and the government should promote resistence
and intolerance to corruption in any possible way. Non-governmental bodies should be more active on drawing
attention and exerting civil pressure when instances of legal inconsistencies/development are in a standstill.
3. Infrastructure would help Bulgaria's economy to develop better and promote the civil society development.
Achieving announced deadlines for finishing up infrastructure projects is something both municipal and
government bodies should put much greater effort into. 4. More programmes for raising environmental
awareness is needed as many people (officials) here allow business interests to ravage on nature. That is
irrevocably bound to the actions needed under 1. above. Strict policies for sustainable development should be
implemented and energy/nature preservation activites encouraged within the Bulgarian population itself.

mitigate GHG release: threfore your lack of commitment to authoirse biotech crops cultivation is totally
unacceptable: insect resistant crops can save a lot of chemicals applications - everybody knows that

1200. The "saving the climate" policies (importance: 75%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 15)
For years European governments including the EU institutions are increasingly busy in passing legislation and
regulation in order to "save the climate". While most of us agree that we want to live in a intact environment,
the science and (real) politics of the climate policies are not discussed. With Europe one of heartlands of
science I wonder how little politicians care about the science. Many people, including me have a vivid memory
about the last environmental scare, when the "forests were dying". Sure, there were serious issues to be taken
care of, but in the East of Europe. While the then communist countries destroyed the environment for the sake
of industrial output, Western Europe was in a much better shape. Nevertheless, we had to hear doomsday
stories about the German forests. Today, the similarities are striking. With one difference. Today it is also
about redistribution and industrial politics. Again, more honesty would help. If the EU keeps on as it does, it
will keep on undermining the credibility of the political system and even the credibility of science. The latter,
because science is depending on public money and, therefore, does best, when it does not doubt main stream
positions.

The European integration has reached its limits in the present framework. Without fresh ideas and more pan-
European approach Europe will loose it pace and wil become a museum instes of being a competitive player
on the global field. The open coordination of the Lisbon strategy, the opposition against more integration in the
field of taxation of the Member States and the overall slow down of the EU will not lead to more success, more
competitiveness, more wealth but only to a slow and longlasting agony of the idea of the European Integration.
The global economic downturn hit Europe badly but also gives an opportunity to restart our effort to reach our
declared aims. It is time to work harder but create something new, effective and common.

I think the most important is the information because the majority of Europeans don't know exactly what EU
can do for them and are even less aware of the decisions taken at summits and presidencies. The main
areas should be the culture and ecology because they are the basis for education and information. People
interested in "things" of life (culture) are able to understand them to modify or interact in any case. Few
people are actually affected by the ecology, just to see the number of person who is "green" electricity or solar
panels or even interested in the ecology outside the television ... very little ! People must take more time to
think, understand or pay attention to others. They quickly take consciousness that things are bad in other
countries but do nothing to change that part to complain about anything they are offered here. Until there is an
awareness of the population we can not move in the right way, especially if European politicians continue to
defend their constituents ESSENTIALLY You can take the example of "We Feed the World" with Jean Ziegler.
Although he works for the UN it presents facts which does or which are created only by the Europeans which

The EU's Lisbon agenda regarding the knowledge economy has been shown to be based on false premises

sustainable economy in which financial services are relegated to a minor role and are in public ownership.
Manufacturing industries have a great opportunity over the next decade to rebuild the transport and energy
infrastructures of Europe in a sustainable way. America is uncompetitive in many areas such as automotive
engineering and Europe needs to exploit its leadership in this area. In the agricultural sector, Europe needs
to concentrate on becoming self-sufficient with a robust set of policies based not on direct subsidy but on
realsitic pricing for farm products and a much stronger research base than at present. In energy, the effort put
into renewables should be massively increased, together with far more emphasis on energy saving. There
needs to be increased cooperation in education across Europe and an emphasis on wellbeing rather than
competitive assessment in schools. EU research policy in this area should be better supported particularly in
science education.

European Commission is away from reality, its employees are interested in how nice things look on paper,
they don't come from real life. This deficiency is demonstrated perfectly in Agriculture. European leadership
hates farmers and does not want to understand their role in the society and how much cities depend on
them. The crisis started because people had not enough liquidity to buy homes,consumables,pay for their
health,education and for their entertainment. The solution lies there. Increase the salaries of all people so
that they dont need to borrow or they may pay what they borrow. Farmers will soon stop producing because
no one controls the wholesalers that buy their products at ridiculous prices and sell them to us at exorbitant
prices. This also has to stop. Banks -Stock Markets and financial services showed their ugly and most
unreliable face. Banks must be forced to give money to people and then to businesses. Stock market should
be forbidden to play over the real value of a product or service, the real value based on the official turnover
profits&assets, allowing a minus plus 10% maximum for speculation. Nobody needs more growth and
nobody needs low inflation. There is no stability and dont push governments to implement an accord that was
conceived before the crisis, grow up and adopt to the new reality. Stop the use of oil and oblige everyone to
use electric cars and alternative energy. You can imagine the world without Gates but you cannot imagine it
without us.

regional authorities. In the place where I live there are plenty of surface waters (rivers, lakes) and an
marverllous natural environment. However, its quite obvious that we do not do our best to secure this beauty
and to perseve it in the best possible way. Talking again for my Region there is a huge energy production
based on firing of lignite. This is taken place in 40 years old power plants that do not meet the high standards
established by EU for air pollution. (I have heard somewhere that these power plants are the most polluted
industries in whole Europe-again at the top!) In the contrary there are many cases where they inactivate
the special filters that hold the micro-components and the CO2 to the atmosphere in order to have bigger
production!! The technologies are exactly the same as 40 years ago without any specific effort to improve
these technologies in order to burden lower the local environment. Apart from the air pollution a large
discussion could take place for the soil pollution and the change to the morfology of the soid due to huge
mining activity. There is of course a kind of plan for the restoration of these areas but without any economic
interest. For the pollution of lakes and rivers these is due to human activity (agricultural activity, urban waste,
industry waste, mining activity) and the low interest of the State to these matters.
I believe that unless EU forces my mayor (of Bucharest) to be more eco-friendly he will never take any steps
to make the city greener. It is not nice to tell your voters you might need to increase taxes to have a cleaner
air, but if EU forces us to - than we'll do it. I hope EU intervenes to force tougher rules to make Europe cities
greener.

1233. Global Warming and free press (importance: 74%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 11)
I have noticed a drive to push global warming to the forefront, with critics virtually shunned by the mainstream
press and scientific communities. Given the huge carbon market that's been created out of thin air, the
religious zealotry with which it is being propagated, the absolute media silence over the alternative theories
or the simple fact that the global warming model is finding it hard to predict the earth changes happening right
now, aren't you starting to see the resemblance to Eugenics and the many other Scientific theories thrust upon
us by mad scientists and megalomaniacs! The climate is shifting and global warming theory may predict some
of the changes, but it doesn't make the premise right.
1234. responses to climate change and reductions in emissions (importance: 74%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 11)
- reducing emmissions at source - The economic downturn will prevent leaders from pursuing more
sustainable economies, due to the costs of initial outlays, and economic short-termism. It's important that
MUCH more money is put into research and development of new energy sources, energy efficiency and
environmental technologies (in truth these should have been invested in more heavily decades ago and this
is quite a failure). This downturn and the stimulus packages CAN be an opportunity to leapfrog old emission-
heavy industries and set Europe up as a leader in the field. As the Stern report argued, in the long term,
investment in CC measures is small compared to the long term losses we face - when/if the environmental
systems we depend upon for our survival collapse further, it will make this economic crisis seem a storm in a
teacup. Our leaders must be strong enough to to safeguard our future. Internationally, Europe must be strong
and set responsible parameters in the post-Kyoto era; they need to encourage the laggards in order to enable
global soultions. - CC mitigation - Fear not enough is being done: the use of the CAP by MS still encourages
inefficient/inappropriate land use & South Europe is increasingly threatened with severe soil erosion and
desertification. Old-style dependence on cereals in almost semi-arid conditions is not encouraging. More
attention needs to be paid to buffer habitats e.g. wetlands, carbon sinks, technologies (eg. drip irrigation) &
land use.

As a citizen from a country that is situated on Border with the EU, without having the possibility to travel to
the countries of the Eurpean Union, I am finding my self locked in a small country with a hole variety of issues
with democracy, especially with judicial system. Due to the fact that we are a least developed country, we do
not posses financial means to improve and promote sustainable development, environmental programs and
projects. We have no access to the course and trainings in EU even for a small part of specialists that have
to improve there knowledge and skills the Bologna process and other programs are useless if our students
from Moldova have a very small chance to go to EU tu study due to small cooperation programs between
universities and governments.
1240. The Environmental Protection (importance: 73%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 14)
I strongly believe that the issue of protection of environment affects all people in European Union and
neighboring countries as well. Even though the EU does not contribute to global pollution that much, it
equally suffers the consequences of global warming along with other countries of the world. That is due to
environmental problems which do not recognize the borders of countries. In order to achieve restitutio in
integrum, EU is taking political and legal initiatives. However it might not be enough. Because the other world’s
leading countries are not aware of this problem to that extent. Therefore the EU has obligation to their citizens
to take all the necessary political measures to persuade their partners to change their attitude in order to
become more responsible. The European Environmental Agency finds that in the nine out of the last 12 years
were among the warmest years since 1850. Also it reminds that high-temperature extremes like hot days,
tropical nights, and heat waves have become more frequent in our continent. The annual average temperature
is projected to rise this century by 1-5.5oC (best estimate). Therefore EU countries are reconsidering the
necessity of researching the alternative clean sources of energy. First benefit is that it increases energetic
stability of countries and second it achieves better quality of live for their citizens through clean and healthy
environment. I strongly support all EU administration efforts in this matter.

1244. Education, Culture, Environment, Quality of Life, Society (importance: 73%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 11)
The quality of life is probably the first and foremost issue that I think is important, and comes as a result of a
development in all fields such as Education and Culture. Education needs even higer standards if possible
and with an even better cooperation of schools and universities in the EU. The European Union should
also promote culture within the member states and help secure the cultural and civilazational diversity the
describes this Union and sets us apart from other Unions and countries like the USA. Environmet is of course
the greatest threat facing the contemporary world and it is one of the major goals on which the EU focuses on
and of course more work needs be done, stricter measures towards the members states, more suggestions,
promotion of scientific research in this field and etc. Society was the last factor I mentioned and I generally
mean the social and political instability. The greatest crisis that the contemporaty democratic nations have
to face is probably the mediocre representatives of political life who cannot live up to the expectations of an
ever changing society. And while the EU by its very nature may not enforce changes or measures towards the
relative governments, it could suggest or help ensure higher social and political standards in all nations of the
Union.

country; development of rural areas with equipments (schools, hospitals, etc); building structures prepared
for earthquakes; urban planning regulations that consider climate changes, mobility and population growth/
sociological factors
Climate change affects us all. I want to offer my child a safe and healthy future, which can ONLY be
guaranteed if the EU takes responsibility for our share in use and abuse of resources.
1251. Harmonisation, EU Green Card (importance: 72%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 5)
As a long term plan, the EU should work towards increased harmonisation of the legal systems in MS given
the fact that a crime in one MS may not be considered a crime in another. This is absurd given the nature of
the EU itself which has no internal borders. As a foreign student, an EU Green Card should be available as i
have studied in France (Sciences PO) and now in Belgium at the College of Europe, and i have a lot that i can
offer the EU but due to my single nationality, it is tough for me to find a job here. If it could be tken into account
the number of years i spent in EU MS, and offered a green card, it would certainly facilitate things for me as
well as for the EU as otherwise instead of bringing in the right kind of immigrants, the EU will end up with a lot
of immigrants from countries with starkly incompatible cultures leading to current problems like radicalisation
and terrorism. Internal laws should be made more strict. The Public provocation directive is a right step
forward. If the EU puts laws ahead of society and culture, it can deal with terrorism very effectively.
1252. Air pollution (importance: 72%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 17)
The quality of the air that millions of people in my city are forced to breath on is a very worrying issue! When
will true measures be forced to eradicate the dangers we all face since local governments dont seem to act.
The effects are so indirect that the casualties pass us by unnoticably as part of general statistics. The EU must
force ruthless rules to save our children and the dignity of living in a city.
1253. education, immigration, ecology, racism (importance: 72%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 15)
Education: European citizens should possess the civil right of equality of opportunity. Education should always
be free and open for all, otherwise social injustice (income gap) is inevitably generated since richer people
will always have the opportunity to attend the best academic institutions and in the long term find better
paying jobs. Money should not be the tool to open doors in life, but the academic interest and the passion for
learning instead. The E.U can improve people's lives by encouraging and promoting this right. Immigration:
stronger policies are needed in order make Europe a place which will welcome all immigrants and under
its umbrella and values (democracy, human rights) give the opportunity to these people to succeed and
enjoy equal opportunities in life together with indigenous people in all aspects of social life. Together with
immigration, emphasis should be given to the phenomenon of racism. Culture of peaceful co-existence among
human beings should be further cultivated in order to avoid any more unpleasant incidents in the near future.
Ecology: Environmental policy should gain higher status. All together we should strive for a green-er Europe,
this could be a common goal. We should put the environmental issues on the political agenda, on the highest
level of the hierarchy and create European environmental law under which states should be abided and all
together work for the reduction of the greenhouse effect and emmissions of polluting gasses.

Buildings with numerous parking places:underground and over-ground (many-storied). That's the biggest
illness of each big city in Bulgaria from the time of comunist power and nobody thinks/works to overcome it.
All the downtowns are indeed closed from the numerous of parking cars over the pavements. I know and see
that the nowadays BG-comunist power steals the EU-funds but I keep my hope for the next Government. Our
Elections are in the beg. of July,09 so now is the time to give us that Expert Help. Moreover the Municipality
is elected an year ago and it doesn't belong to the "reds" in many cities. Our town Municipality works good,
opened and clear. Also the town is situated on Sea-side and the trafic happens terrible in the Summer season.
But the same is available in the other big cities in Bulgaria. I hope EU can help us. Thanks in advance! Finally

The city I was born and raised is a fast developing industrial one. The existence of more than 2 hundred
factories within a 30-kilometers diameter cause some environmental problems regarding the quality of air and
soil. Another important fact is, the same area is also being used for agricultural activities. When agriculture
and industry is extremely close to each other, I do not think it's 100 % healthy for human life. Finally, Turkey
needs to do a lot in order to achieve in the area of rural development in order to serve the citizens better
opportunities. After defining the major problems, I'd like to talk about how EU should its energies on the
issues I listed. It's a fact that Turkey is a big country and she will drain the budget of EU but since we're a
candidate for membership, I think EU should not worry about that. In the long term, Turkey will have the same
life standards just like in EU and EU will be powerful than before. In the long term it will be a win-win situation
for both Turkey and EU.

the EU is simpler and transparant, and of course this means a much bigger change than the Lisbon Treaty
objectives (although many necessary things, like QMV, are in there already).

1290. Green cars (importance: 66%, disagreement: 31, evaluations: 20)
Green cars should become compulsory for new sold cars as soon as possible. The car market itself will never
move quicklier than it is obliged to do so, because of higher costs and reduced profit margins. This behaviour
is rational from an economical point of view. On the other side, as a rational consumer, I will never tend to by
a green car (electric, hybrid etc) if the alternatives are by some thousends of euros cheaper over the entire life
time of the car. Therefore, by strictly regulating the market of new cars, to green cars only, e.g. from 2014 on,
you will be able to create the requested market demand in order to allow for competitive reductions in the price
of the technology. The car manufacturers will have a 5 years transitional period in order to addapt to the new
regullation. They will still have the world market to sell their conventional cars. In addition, this step will make
the EU car manufacturers leaders in this field. Therefore, the export of green cars could play a significant role
in the future.

The environment in the city in Athens is continually being degraded and every open space is being built
most of the time illegally. The 2004 Olympic facilities have been left desolate and derelict, and the ordinary
citizen has absolutely no place to go and walk and relax during bank holidays. Instead incentives are
continually being given to people to buy cars most of them second hand that contribute to the already polluted
atmosphere of Athens and the absolute congestion in the streets. Athens was a respectable city 20 years ago
with a lot of forests in the surrounding area. Unfortunately during the last 4 years most of these have been
burnt by unscrupulous building contractors. Furthermore the area around the old airport in Athens that was
declared a new future park is quietly negotiated to become a vast complex of residences that will contribute
to the pollution of the city. Telecommunications in Athens is completely unreliable and broadband is non-
existent and extremely expensive even more so than certain so called third world countries. Sometimes one is
wondering whether it is worth living in this city any longer.

There is a silent majority who think that, while the environment is important, there are other aspects that

lobbying and using the tools of governance to take over the issues - Europe has been sidetracked into no
win issues like stopping global warming, removing all chemicals, growing all food without crop protection or
fertilizers, and getting all of our energy from wind and sun. Wonderful dreams, but the NGOs' increased power
is making this the top of the agenda in Europe - it risks bankrupting us, leading to economic decline and,
perversely, environment and health deterioration (who had the idea for biofuels in the first place???). So Mr
Barroso, do continue to meet with NGOs, you have no choice since they found the fast track to your office, but
please, get credible advice from scientific and economic experts before you put their dreams into policy.

The environmental regulation the EU sets down is very welcome. However, with regard to recycling, etc.
some member states are starting off from a lower level of development than others. I approve of the sanctions
for member states who do not comply with environmental legislation, but there should be more recognition
that sometimes market forces act to make it harder for some member states to improve as much as should
be possible in this area. For example, in Ireland (north and south), we have to compete with Britain for the
"attention" of businesses who provide the services and technology for more environmentally friendly waste
disposal. More funds should be pumped in to countries for environmental projects to offset the disadvantages
of having a small national market.

evaluations: 13)
As of today, there is no effective and efficient mechanisms for provision of effective security at schools or
kindergarten, or any other education institution. Recently many accidents occur exactly in such places.
Internet is also a non-secure and non-friendly environment for children and young people at all. All kind of
dangers are easy accessible and all of us, including you have to think about how to make it safer. There are
many strategic and programmatic documents focusing on these issues, but nothing comes after that. We,
the citizens, and you who represent us and our interests ther have to think ot for the elaboration of these
documents only, but their application too!

Ecology is a very fashionable topic and is frequently mentioned by politicians but not much progress seems

member states not follow Germany and ban all wireless spots from schools ? Are firms that produce mobile
phones, wireless, or even microwave ovens more important that the European citizens' well-being ? Some
more information should circulate about those problems.
1312. environment, human rights, rightful development, kurdish iss (importance: 60%, disagreement: 31,

i think the main problem of todays world is environment. especially developing countires like turkey is facing
environmental problems every day. I expect europe to cooparate turkey and turkish green establishments
and support the turkish civil society more on this issue. human rights, the minority rigths, workers rights and
liberty of conscience are the other important issue that should be considered very carefully. The negotiations
on these particular issues should be opened asap and the political difficulties should be minimized on these
issues. the other issue is related with the equality of development, turkey's economy is growing but the
distrubiton of the income is not right based and equal. I believe that EU should support the social development
and social goverment in turkey. kurdish issue is particularly crutial for us. The rejection and denial of violance
should be supporter more intensively and democratic participation of kurdish community also should be
promoted. Moreover, I think EU should help Turkey to differentiate the violent and non-violent kurdish
movement.

In my country, Greece, the regulations about housing and urban environment are not effective and everyone
builds whatever he wants wherever he wants. Sidewalks are very small and the people are forced to walk
in the road, the electrical cables are visible whenever we look the sky, everyone builds many-story houses
even in small cities covering the totality of his land leaving no room for parking, plants and sidewalks. It is not
probable that the Greek government will ever address these issues therefore I plead with the EU to make our
government respect our daily life.
1319. Climate change forces us to act; let's take this chance! (importance: 51%, disagreement: 45,

The European countries are for a great deal responsible for global climate change, this should not be denied.
In order to be able to keep the world as healthy and liveable as it is, we Europeans should act - together with
the international community - to help slow down (and finally stop) man-induced climate change. We should
take this change to regain our leading role on a global level. If we Europeans don't invest in environmental-
friendly technologies, other countries (like the United States, India or China) will do this, and we will once

Athens has one of the lowest ratios of parks/green per inhabitant in the EU. Politicians are making (no) plans
for the growth of the city for the next year. For example, creating new highways all around athens instead of
metro/train lines, giving permission to build on the surrounding forests of athens which are burnt every year,
not creating a park (as it was promised) in the land of the old airport of athens and more. Would be more

Countries have too diverse (and sometimes useless) priorities, (like France fighting against Peer to Peer) to

affect the everyday life of our children! Please please please, make it the responsibility of the EU to protect
the environment. And this doesn't just mean listening to the sounds of sirens like Total-Fina-Elf or EDF. This
means: REALLY becoming a green continent. Increase taxes (drastically): on cigarettes (they pollute our
environment everyday), on non-green cars, on petrol, have hackers pay fines (don't just cut their internet
access, this brings NO money to the State!), and USE ALL THIS MONEY to make Europe a green continent.
This requires a long term view, that can only be expected from a supra-organization such as the EU. Protect
forests, planting trees in and outside cities, invest in green cars, support small inventors who have great green
ideas but just don't have the money to develop them at scale, create cycling lines in cities, develop green
public transport (like really developing!), which then makes it possible to close all big city centers to cars...

I spent 5 years trying to build an NGO for my kind of people, returning from the US, with a high degree or
professional experiences, and trying to reintegrate in our native land. I had to work in place of 10 people,
because I had no employees, the government did not sponsor my idea, and I had no apparatus for EU grant
proposal writing. The project was even featured by The European Commission in Baden (several years ago)
as an interesting pilot done by a civic activist (me). The planning, grant proposal writing, research, PR, and
community work, as well as all the nonprofit organization's administrative work had to be done by me. The
enormous task that I undertook alone, has taken a toll on my health. You should focus on realistic support for
innovative middle aged females, trying to build something meaningful, when they are unable to get a job (the
employers' motto was: "you are over educated..."), especially in backward countries, like Hungary, especially
in a men's world. At this point I have to sell or close my project. This is devastating. 5 years of work... a
unique private project, and would be especially important now, when so many middle aged, middle class
professionals are unemployed around the EU.

Every human right is connected with a need. Education is a basic human right, because it enables us to
excercise many of our other rights. It is important for our economical survival, for the quality of our lives and it
is esential for the self-realisation of every individual. I expect from my politicians to overcome the wish to work
for one legislative period and to work for long-term benefit of the citizens. The investment in education is by far
the most profitable investment - every parent knows that, but the profit comes after many years.

As a student in Sofia, Bulgaria, I experience the biggest issue with the transport. I own a bicycle and want
to travel by it but the roads in Sofia are not meant for cyclists. The result is the following: I cannot use an
environment- friendly mean of transport and have to wait on the traffic jam in a public bus. The travel time
by bus here is significantly longer compared to the one by bike. Although, our country doesn't plan to invest
in building cycling roads and creating eco- friendly environment. I often come too late to school because
of the traffic jams in Sofia which causes big problems to me. Next thing I would like to be improved is the
educational system here. Our school for example is in a terrible condition. The building is about to collapse
any moment and the classrooms are very old. We have no garden, only asphalt and dirty corners around the
school. There are many other issues I would like to find a solution for but the country doesn't give the youth as
a whole a chance to work with the government.

Nevertheless, the governments and the EU should not forget that in some countries, like Belgium, universities
receive a lot of subsidies. This advanced system should not be sacrified in order to make all European
universities identical. In other words: don't make the students pay for your reforms.

As a student of international relations, I know that is a huge difference between what the EU is seeking to
proclaim and what is fact in the individual Member States. I had the opportunity to live, work or study in
several EU Member States such as Belgium, UK or Hungary and I know that a student who finishes his study
for example at the Prague University certainly does not have the same conditions as' indigenous' students.
What the EU wants to do and want EU to do something? The Czech Presidency is seeking for Europe without
barriers but wants the same Europe itself? Is´t it just an idea of a little state in the center of Europe? One
example for all: To make money on my studies, I often worked in the UK. In every job agency they always ask
for your education. When a man shall University, which is not in the UK, it means, for automatically, that you
dont have any University. It is the same for a driving license. When you do not have a driving certificate issued
in the UK, automatically it means for job agents that you do not have any certificate!

In Romania, after the '89 revolution, there have been too many changes into our education system,so
many that children cannot keep the pace with it. Almost each year, the study programme and examination
conditions are modified. In order to work better, I think any system should have a better continuity (with small
improvements, of course) and EU could also elaborate a common strategy with local government on this
issue.
1346. provide a vision for Europe, education, economy (importance: 90%, disagreement: 9, evaluations:

Unless we share a common Vision for Europe, we'll never be a real Union. What is the purpose, the reason
of the existence of EU, what Europe will look like when the purpose is fulfilled? What will be different and how
different. If the EU is to become, it should have a culture with a shared core and visible boundaries. Between
the two, the core and the boundaries, individual nations should have room to live their heritage culture.
This requires educated people, adults who understand that life is about serving and not being served. The
economy is on fire now, so we've better extinguish it to ensure we have a future worth living.
Please make sure that private education do not substitute public one. We need to make sure people has a
standard high level of knowledge, or we would be exposed more than ever to labor intensive competition from
Asia.

I believe that Europa has two hands. With the left one, the one concerning research and development, Europa

concerning Education, you don't get any words concerning the use of ICT in schools and universities. You
get advices concerning Bologna process, Learning outcomes, future competencies needed by enterprises
... nothing but nothing about the tremendous power of technologies in order to foster teachers professional
development ans students perceptions about learning. How is this possible ? How is it possible to ignore
the fact that our digital age students will reject the education as it is proposed today. Learning outcomes are
speaking about a lot of competencies but nothing about team work which is (1) necessary in all actual sector
of activities and (2) which is supported by social network over Internet. Did you know that 5000 years ago
the "tool" develops the power of the human arm ... Now, the web is empowering the human brain. Ready to

facilitate access to affordable education, also for adults
Europe's citizens must receive a free high quality education, for all ages and all abilities. Education should be
provided by the state and not by private companies. There should be far less focus on exams and results in
schools and children should not receive homework. Children should be provided with far more outdoor and
indoor space to play, children in inner cities in particular should be provided free access to countryside and
countryside activities. Primary schools should encourage creative thinking. There should be a particular focus
on nurturing children's confidence, among other ways to do this, class sizes should be very small, max 15
children. Teachers and professors should receive a very good salary.
Should be the prime focus. Keeping it affordable, providing bright students with enough opportunities to
complete a PhD, providing money to universities. Facilitating access to more funds with sufficient diversity.
Second: ameliorate primary education. Nobody should be left unable to understand for example biological
evolution. A proven concept (just like the fact that the earth is round), but due to ignorance and lack of
education often doubted.

I think that in the times of the inancial crisis it is extremely important to have people with 'proper' abilities

there should be more subsidies and more support provided to the young generation to give the ambitious
young men and women an opportunity to further study and develop relevant skills as well as exchange good
practicies. This in its turn will battle the problem of offer-demand that many companies now have and thus,
will ensure the creation of the EU 'task force', a new generation of employees ready to take over the most
challenging tasks for the well-being of the European Union. Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is a good start!

Education is a sphere that is essential to broaden horizons and give the power to understand the world
better. The processes that run in the global environment. Proper education allows every citizen of the world
to gain the knowledge and use it in the way that brings a positive value to the communities all over the world.
Education is something that can always be supported more as there will always be new things to learn. This
is he governments' duty to promote and deliver proper education to every person capable of receiving it,
appreciating and using it in the name of public good. After all the knowledge is something that can connect
people all over the world and bring them together to create the world better and better. Education is an
essential part of continuous development of nations and particular people. Knowledge gives the ability of using
the talents and skills we all possess. As long as we have lack of knowledge about the world there will always
be people who were given their talents by God but they simply don't know those talents and opportunities
because of lack of proper education. Education is investing in people and the result can only be the growth.

Low and middle social levels can't solve for their own day-by-day problems. If UE cannot settle basic
education rules and principles the gap between rich and poor will continuously growth. So, stop investing in
higher levels of education, and invest on basic education for all, with long term human values and a strong
social culture. The dream of UE is not getting accomplished at all, from my point of view. I am portuguese
citizen living and working in Spain. I came here in the year 1994, 8 years after Portugal has joined UE. Today
european citizens still don't have a european identification card, which means that one of the principles of
free people circulation in UE area is not true today. If I hadn't a job here, for the first months I arrived, with an
identification and fiscal number I would be considered ilegal in spanish territory. I don't really know what kind

Education and research are the basis of progress. Individual countries tend not to be reliable, like Italy where

more exchange of ideas and workforce. All energy and environmental problems would benefit and new
technologies are known to create more jobs.

The educational system should be the first and main focus of the EU. The vast majority of highschool
students throughout Europe are not getting the same quality of education older generations that had the
opportunity were able to get. The educational systems seem to be degenerating instead of improving. The
higher the level of education the harder it is for public opinion to be swayed by uniformed propaganda. A
good example today is the poor understanding of the majority of the European citizens of the current global

I think it is unfair that in some countries there are very high fees for university education and in others there

high a level as they would like simply because of their financial situation.
There should be a more harmonised system of education, especially at tertiary level. Harmonising diplomas is
not enough. there should be minimum standards applied to all universities for example in terms of recruitment
of staff, examination system and evaluation/grading. I wish the EU would also be more implicated in
secondary education that is: - launch information campaign - encourage middle/ high schools to inform their
students on the EU. They are the future. - encourage cultural exchanges between european countries (staff
and students) in that level. Have a high school "ERASMUS" equivalent.

again it's a good one to work on collaboratively although member states like to keep education as a national

This is as a teacher in Lithuania, I find it very disturbing that the schools, colleges and uni's I have been in
in this day and age in the 21st century, that teachers do not have money to do basics like photocoping of
education material to give to students, the cost of this MUST come from the teachers own pocket. Teachers
are not well paid in this country, like most profesinal people. Schools etc do not even have toilet seats in the
toilets nor toilet paper, or means for students and teachers to wash their hands afterwards. This is a health
risk. The youth of these countries are the future and should be given every opportunity t gain a proper
and safe education as other members of teh EU, where other member states would not accept this below
standard. More efort should be made to ensure that any monies given to these countries that monies given
for the purpose is monmitored 100% to make sure monies go where it is intended for. 2)To bring up the level
of proffesionlism in policeing, help should be given to enable for the police to be able to do their work as
their counter parts in other EU countries. Having equipment and transport to the same standard as in other
countries. the police here do their best with what little they have. There should also be monitors placed to
ensure that any monies given are spent in the correct manner. Police pay should come in line.

as possible, and they need to be taught by natives. Each European citizen should have the command of 2
foreign languages by the time they reach the employment market. Ideally, an introduction of Esperanto over
the coming 10 years could lead to a new generation of people capable of interacting with any EU co-citizen;
this would induce a better feeling of a European common identity.

DO NOT SHORTEN ERASMUS. a semester is already too short to integrate, a shorter period will only
encourage more binge drinking and erasmus students to stay in their own bubble with no external exchange.
I come back from erasmus in Estonia and I would like to highlight the heavy drinking in erasmus programs
due to a lack of integration with locals. Most of the students come back with a deep regret of this lack of
integration. Moreover, I believe exchange programs at a high school level would help to better grasp what
europe mean for pupils but also parents. Favoring the learning of european languages (italian, polish,
swedish, ...) beside the regular languages (english, french spanish and german) would help getting a better
grasp of our community. I love europe, i have been traveling to almost every country, backpacking all around
and I believe geting to learn about the Other to get rid of negative stereotypes would help bridging a greater
Europe. One should not only focus on Germany, UK or France to exchange r we will stay in our own little
western elite bubble, everyone should get the same seat aroud the EU family table.

Due to the crisis many people lose their jobs.These people have nothing to do with the cause of the economic
crisis and they should not pay for it. I am one of them.Everyday I live with the fear that I may lose my job in
the near future. I am afraid of my own futyre. What should be done is to invest money in research, education,
on the job market, to maintain the job positions and create new ones.I do not agree with this idea that Europe
should focus on the dept stability. Europe should do as the Americans do but not to that extent. Invest money
in new areas so that when the crisis is over new things may rise.We should not be selfish...

First of all, I do not know if this is related to the education, but there should be more free places for the
children in the kindergarten. Secondly, schools have to advocate evenmore than now foreign languages. This
would mean a better future for our country, for EU and for the whole world.
Maybe a program to ensure the same standard - and more important - the same cost of education within all
the countries of the EU
1433. Education the root of all good (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 18)
I would like to see more people educated in our area! I would like to see effective programs on bringing
children from the poor, and troubled families, the schools. And they don;t visit the schools not only because
they don't want to, but also because their parents are not educated thus they can't see the power of
knowledge. I am mostly talking about minorities like gypsies where you are qualified as a genius if you have
passed the eight grade in school. But minorities and majorities should be treated the same, because sometime
the majority appears to be neglected and the same problems appear there no matter that the reasons might
be different. I would like to see more done in the field of food quality EU wide. When you buy a snack you
see plenty of words ment to be ingredients that you don't understand. Some are potentially dangerous and
there is no marking on the package what this ingredient may cause you. The other part where no control form
the buyer is directly applied, is the fruits and vegetables trade. What chemistry have they used to grow the
product, I can never know if would want to. If I am allergic to some insecticides how would I know if they were
applied. For our region, I would like to see a program that would inform the population about the ways and
means to control politicians. We are poor of freedom in our recent history, and many of the people have no
idea how apply their right of control. So support this kind of initiatives.

An effective intra-European high-speed rail network at affordable prices to encourage travel between
European countries, to improve carbon footprints, to encourage rail haulage over lorries. More emphasis in
schools on learning foreign languages and sharing other cultures. One high-school year obligatory in another
European country with different language (not England to Ireland or Germany to Austria, etc.). Let the EU
blow its own trumpet more effectively: few people (in France certainly) are aware of gains and advances made
thanks to the EU yet anti-EU voices are very quick to publicise mistakes made. Schemes could be set up
whereby young (repetitive) offenders be sent to help dig wells in Africa or similar projects. Rather than let them
become ever-more bitter and dissatisfied in jails let them understand the comparative advantages they have
had in the EU while learning aid through teamwork.

in those cities where a European Institution is based, and open them to everybody (non only children of EU
officials)
1452. CO2 emissions reduction (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 17)
In fighting the climate change, an important role have the emissions of CO2 in the atmosphere. Therefore,
their limitation is a key point for the future policy actions. One of the measures recently approved (in a diluted
form) by the Council and the EP was to impose fines on the car manufacturers on each new car sold after
2012/2015 and for each g of CO2 that exceeds the 120g/km level. As I can observe is that the lesislative
institutions focused mainly on the production side and not on the consumer side as well. In my opinion, the
consumers should be imposed similar restrictions within their consumption patterns. In example, each car
owners should pay for his car's yearly CO2 emissions. This measure will bring the majority to rationalize their
consumption and mileage. The CO2 emissions from the consumers should also be included in the EU ETS
system.

1453. Education and social integration (importance: 83%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 12)
Nowadays I see in my country, educational problems arising in schools, not only in the matter of curricular
success, but also in social interaction. I see children ill-fed going to school, showing that their parents don't
feed them right, I see bullying increasing and violent crimes happening inside school grounds. I believe that
EU should have an stronger grasp of educational issues all over Europe, since education is the basis of all
societies. I believe that most social misbehaves are directly related to one's background and education. When
parents have bad educations, they will also be bad parents and react in a wrong manner when dealing with
his children issues. Bad behavior and bad social interaction are passed from generation to generation. Best

European Union should invest more resourses in the mobility. travelling or making a job experience in another
country is a fondamental thing for creating more possibilities for all the Europeans citizens. So I'd suggest to
elaborate policies for reducing mobility cost, creating a European job list, becoming obbligatory an experience
in another UE country. (could help the creation of a european voluntary civil corp?In Italy we have) About

1458. University - Bologna Process (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 17)
Unlike there are many ideas to improve the present Bologna process in the EU, i think that for students there
are still many obstacles to study in another countries. If we just focus at the many types of different Credit-
point systems in a master`s degree we could see that there is much work to do. Additionally, we just have
a 3-years bachelor degree wherefore the chance to go for a master-degree to america diminshes sharply.
Probably, as the EU has such elaborate mechanism like Leonardo or Erasmus there is probable a broader
and more unite solution or better to say harmonization for an unite degree system possible.
it's the base for further development
1461. Education & Research, economic stimulous and job creation (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 17)
Education and research are landmarks in current day society. If leaders do not stimulate higher levels of
education and research, society and economies will not be able to leap forward. There is a clear backlash
in terms of research if one compares to the other side of the Atlantic (US). It is of paramount importance
to narrow the gap and fund education, training and research more in line with the social, economic and
entrepreneurial fabric within the EU. Despite an ever more active ESDP, the EU is a civilian power whose
desideratum is to emulate itself and thus avoid the intergovenmental limbo and become a most active actor.
I strongly believe that education and research cannot be ignored if the EU is to devise a economic stimulous
to launch the EU policy, help its "near abroads" and other nations around the world sharing common values,
norms and patterns. Insofar as the job creation issue is concerned, it is essential to path social stabilisation,
"plenty" and well being.

Everyone should be given a chance for proper education. The Greek secondary educational system is at
least ridiculous. We go to high school and through exams we pass to the university. This should stop and the
universities should take control of the examinations. All universities should be free for all with no exams to
enter but with the right to disqualify you after 2 or 3 failed tries.
1463. student mobility, culture differencies and stereotips (importance: 83%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 12)
I think the future of Europe is strongly connected with mobility of young all over Europe. We already now
many of programs that offer that kind of possibilities to us but still there is many students that cannot afford
investment like that - living in another country is expensive and sometimes parents cannot help their children
and also year by year grants are smaller. I was as Erasmus student in Turkey for half year. Not only that I learn
new language, I get lot of friends and I learned a lot but I realized that sometimes people are to influenced by
media, politics or any other activity and they make stereotypes that are many times wrong and unnecessary. I
think many conflicts could be saved if young would be informed better and would understand differences that
make Europe so diverse, but on the other hand it makes Europe bond in strong Union.
1464. The school system needs to change with the society (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 13)
The EU schools are too traditional and are not preparing youths into the real world. To force youths to work
on subjects which they dislike and feel they don't have any talents in is not very rewarding. In fact it will only
increase more dislike to attend school. Schools need to empower youth’s self-esteem by allowing youths to
interact with each other. Practise presentations, practise budgeting using excel, practise diary management
and time management using outlook. It is vital to let youths explore what their strengths are, understand it and
work on it. Average living age is 60, and therefore we need to establish at a much earlier age what we want
to do. There is far too much youth who are spending ther mid 20s studying to the wrong profession or not
studying at all cause they just don't know what their strengths are. By the time they have come to realisation
and perhaps working towards that direction, they are in their mid 30s. At that time the society is pushing us to
have a family and by the age of 50, you have time to enjoy life. THIS SYSTEM NEEDS TO CHANGE. How
it should be: From the age of 6 youths should practise 3 languages - the sooner the better & children are
cleverer than adults think. From the age of 12 some subjects should be optional. Working more on projects,
presentations, time management, leadership, language techniques etc, media... From the age 16 they should
know their strengths
Improve education in form of understanding of proceses rather than facts. This should make the EU a
knowledged society

As a university student,more specifically a law student,the European Union constitutes an integral part of
my daily life.Through educational experiences in Europe,I have discovered the beauty of being part of a
community that means so much more than a common market.The truth is I would have liked to explore the
European vision earlier in my academic life:the common march through history,the common principles that
hide behind a legislation imposed to states by a supranational establishment,the European nations and their
people .I would have liked to learn about the EU in real depth,to understand it as a vivid community of cultural
interchange and learn not to be intimidated by its strengths.I would have liked to visit European countries
with my classmates and partcipate in student exchanges.I would have liked to see that the EU is not just
about money,not just about politics.All my wishes could have become true if there was a common course in
the schools of all EU members,raising EU awareness and helping EU students discover each other to form
together a better EU future.This could make our EU citizenship much more meaningful to us.
A good way to stimulate studying and researching is organising summer courses in other countries for those
students who have excellent marks or achevements.
EU should focus on lifelong education and in training as a way to develop EU's human potencial. People
should have the opportunity to participate in quality training independently of their monetary resources and
therefore to be empowered in their professional and personal life. Education and training resources are still
not at the reach of everybody (some training is quite expensive) and therefore only possible for few people.
There is training offer but people can not access it (for instance for lack of econo0mical resources). New
scholarships can be created and well as sponserships and education programs for less qualified people.

1482. Education: Good standards overall, but a bit wimpy. (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 13)
In Europe we take pride in pursuing a strong education. However there are a few points to be made: 1)
We have a lot to learn from the Russians in this respect. The Soviet Union was able to produce a science
workforce of 1,5 million people. The USA was able to produce half of that and purcase the other half from
elsewhere. As Europe we can't outbid the Americans. When I came to the UK from Greece I was astonished
at how bad they are at math. Doing quadratic equations while we in Greece were doing Matrix algebra was a
disgrace. Education should be shaken up and the best way to force that change is to found 4-5 EU universities
directly funded from the EU with very rigorous entry criteria and employing the best of the best. We must be
ready to pay the price for it. Double the salary of the average professor would be a good starting point. Or
turn some already existing universities into EU ones. I'm sure none here in the UK would accept, but France,
Germany, certainly Greece, Spain and Italy are countries that would accept to give away one university and
transfer authority diectly to the EU. 2) Please, please, please understand that education is NOT a business.
Use tech-transfer offices and contract research to help sustain them, but make sure when it comes to students
they are not ran like businesses. 3) Use these to do research on sustainability and please give special
attention to energy technology.
1483. Education of EU citizens of EU institutions (importance: 82%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 8)

1484. Freedom of movement! -student exchange (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 14)
As a student and employee, I would like to have more possibility to travel freely to the EU. The cultural
exchange between EU and non EU states must be a priority for the Union. This sort of exchange could be an
added value for the Union and for average citizen since the exchage of knowledge, experience and opinions is
a value and imperative for the future to come!

there should be actual IT services serving to the houses of people about the facilities of town. Some
easy ways have to be coordinated for the transportation problems of social activities. By these kind of
organizationbs such as street promotions, stand activities etc. there could be an increase of job opportunities.
These sound as temporarely solutions. But they are really helpful for the student population. Meanwhile, there
should be more education centers in all speacilized areas for the ones who didn't have chance to graduate at
a university etc. So it'd be easier to provide educated staff to the job opportunities.

I know attempts have been made to deal with this problem, but the EU is too obscure for most citizens and
some radical solutions need to be thought of to deal with the flaws in people's understanding of what the EU
does. Public willingness to integrate has always lagged behind that of national leaders, and this is probably
because the people are less informed about the EU's work and possibilities. The EU must be seen as
transparable, interesting and relevant.
1489. Intensive education on European Union issues (importance: 82%, disagreement: 13, evaluations:
12)
I am from a member state, which recently joined European Union, and I spend two years of my master
studies in Germany. My experience is, that citizens of European Union need more education on that really
is European Union, and this statement is especially applied to new member states of European Union. Only
after every single person will understand the power and the possibilities of common European market and
common policies in the areas of vital importance for our life, European Union will have an irresistible role in the
world. The education should be started from the very beginning and overwhelm both: the formal and informal
education. From my point of view to give a sense of being European is of the same importance as to give a
sense o being Spanish of Bulgarian. This would impact my daily life so far, that living between people, who
believe on European Union and its future as I do would be so much easier. It also would make the common
work for the future of EU much effective and progressive. The extended educational network on EU would also
be a perfect opportunity for me to start the informal educational work for young Europeans with the goal to
persuade them on the benefits, which they can and should gain from EU.
1490. University Education Should be Free (importance: 82%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 18)

outside their home country, as they are the future of the EU.

in bringing Europe together.

1500. More and easily accesible student exchange programmes (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 6)
Even with the Bologna reforms and different exchange programs (Erasmus...), it is still hard to be able to
do an exchange. Why should the wish of a student to study in one country be limited to the question "does
the university have a contract with an university in that country"??? Another thing is that universities should
start the process of equalizing their study plans so that it doesn't make any difference where we study, if we
are to have philosophy class why can't we have the same number of classes and do the same topics???
The problem is that because of these things many students face difficulties later on when they go to another
country, or if they have studied abroad, when they return home???
1501. Ethics & education (importance: 81%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 15)
Every individual knows what is right and what is wrong, what is injustice and what is not. Education and ethics
should be our major focus in order to make strong, coherent societies with people that are happy and live
productively. Ethics in every day life should be major. Not in the form of fear, as church wants it- but in the form
of respect of what and who is near and around us, respect of those who cannot protect themselves from us.
These are the signs of culture and civilization.

1502. Education for sustainability, eco-literacy, civil engagement (importance: 81%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 13)
Education for sustainability is the most important area for future generation s well-being. Excellence in
education has in the West led to technical knowledge base that has produced leading new technology and
products, but at huge social costs. Mass production and consumption after the IIWW raised the standard
of living, resulting in acceleration of the throughput (energy,material). With development, environmental
movements begun to emerge, pointing out the to the problems produced by existing socio-technical system.
Moreover, the development of sciences such as biology, ecology etc., meant also their separation in education
curriculum. Their integration in other fields was left out, as there was almost no demand for such knowledge
in the prevailing industrial system. Assuming that today we want (need) a shift in the existing paradigm; to
change the socio-technical system to meet the carrying capacity of our planet, but so that we will still maintain
the same level of standard. To achieve this, fixing the present system failures is necessary. We need to use
the current knowledge about the interaction of human and his natural world and integrate it in the curriculum of
future economists,engineers and those involved in production and prepare them for the transition to new more
sustainable system. EU has to set a target to achieve eco-literacy of all citizens(consumers) and find the most
effective means for it.Decision makers and CEOs should support and participate.

and the students try to make their place to live better - they clean round the hostels but is that their job? I think
that the EU should focus its energies on the clash between people from different cultures, because it is still

where exactly they could study (in EU).
1509. Education for all children (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 15)
There is a big issue for children that may not be of Belgian origin, and where the parents are on local
contracts. If your child has any learning problems the local system cannot support you. Each parent has to fin
a location and often pay as much as 15.000 euro per year for their child to be educated, even though they pay
local taxes. This is a major growing issue with such a migrant workforce.

1510. education and student exchanges (importance: 80%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 13)
The EU should invest more in projects which would help to create a common identity of the young citizens
of the EU. I find the LLP Erasmus a great idea and it should be developed further so that more and more
students can participate in it. I know from my own experience that such an exchange is the best way to
broaden your mind and open for other cultures. More shorter exchanges and projects should be created as
well. As far as education is concerned, the EU could support foreign languages learning (especially those
commonly used in the EU such as English, French and German). It would bring about better communication
between the nations of the EU society.

benefits of ERASMUS programme. However, the investments, that has been made are not enough - my
government is assuring only few studying programmes for free. The rest is ether private financing or study
credit. If Europe wants to have a brighter future, than it`s naturally to invest more money and efforts into not
only higher education, but also professional and intermediary. At the moment I can not point another issues
with education, I guess some analysis is required (But let`s face the fact that more and more young people are
going abroad in seeking of a better education). Another thing is Latvian economical situation. I know that it`s
a local govermet`s responsibility, but since EU is an economical union as well, I believe, that there has to be
more control on legislation and made decisions form EU commission`s side, than before. It`s ridiculous that
to cover Latvian politicians dullness they are using money for pensions funds to plug that budget hole. And
not mentioning that my nation is dieing out, who will pay our pensions and debts in the future? I know that`s
a lot of issues, but a bottom line to all that things is, that, unfortunately, Latvian nation is extremely indeferent
to political life. Plus our politicians has no resonsobilety to their actions. So i suggets to ivest more time and
resourcies promoting propolitical behaviour
1512. EDUCATION AND MOBILITY (importance: 80%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EVERY EUROPEAN CITIZEN I THINK
FOR STUDENTS TO PARENTS.ERASMUS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE
COOPERATION,CULTURAL DIALOGUE AMONG EUROPEAN COUNTRIES BUT I THINK IT SHOULD
BE MORE THAN THAT.MAYBE SUMMER PROGRAMS OR A SUBJECT IN SCHOOLS FOE EU AND ITS
ACTIONS.FURTHERMORE A STANDARD FEE FOR ALL COUNTRIES IN THEIR BACHELOR,MASTER
AND PHD COURSES.
1514. students mobility, financial help for students (importance: 80%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 21)

competancy and services is going downwards.
1517. Education/work mobility (importance: 80%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 7)
The Bologne Treaty needs to be fully accepted and implemented across EU. The same goes for work as there
are still a lot of bodies restricting free mobility of workers within EU (e.g. Accountancy bodies or Air pilots).
This means that countries tend to protect certain professions within its borders. It will be impossible to have
a completely free movement of students and workers until we ascertain a main language for the EU. Even
tough, I can go to study/work in Germany (me not being a German citizen) the language will always be the
main barrier. The EU needs to have an official language in order to progress.

1520. Education and motivation of young people (importance: 80%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 15)
It feels as if young people have lack of motivation for various areas of the modern society. The general interest
is distracted to things of lesser importance, such as short-termed aspects of life (entertainment, material
objects). This distraction, combined with apathy about politics, lack of concern about important social /
economical / ecological / cultural issues is in my opinion, a nemesis for modern societies and the generations
to come. Young people should be motivated to participate in: 1. Politics, being aware of the present and the
past, developing their own opinion and minimizing the influence from people who actually take advantage of it.
2. Ecology. It affects us all. 3. Financial crisis. The impact it has. How not being part of the admass. Commerce
is valuable. Effuse expenses on material goods is not. 4. Sociological issues. Human affairs, modern forms of
addiction. This is a very serious issue
Enhance history teaching from a pan-european perspective, instilling pride in being European rather than
national. Transition to using English in all instances while legacy languages are spoken at home and in private
surroundings. Anyone can grow up to be bi-lingual and people do not loose their local culture or flavour
because they speak perfect English (I am not British).

Why the Eu institutions don't develop a coordinated university policy which points to teach the languages

improve in all of Countries the language learning? In Italy this is doesn't happens and the differences between
italian students and other are large and worrying.

With good incentives from the EU I hope that each country can develop a great educationsystem. Bologna
was a good start, let's hope Louvain can do it even better. Thanks to a great education system in Europe we
can stay in competition with others regions in the world. (Higher) education is the core thing that each person
needs to be fully developed. In my opinion it is necessary to make our economy more able to work even
harder in the research and development. That is only possible if each person gets a proper education.

Unequalities are growing, there is too much done for poeple who already have a lot of money and not enough
for the lower classes. There are not enough means allowed to education, its the basement of our society,
Europe seams to forget it!!! The political decisions have to be done with long term in mind and european
politics are too focused on the economical side of things without any real integrated vision of the society even
if it is an evidence that every aspects ofd our society are connected!!! Think about it and good work. Marc Klug
1534. Health & Taxes, Education, Energy, Foreign Aid (importance: 79%, disagreement: 14, evaluations:
15)
Health & Taxes: I am a very "active" European citizen, that is to say I have worked, studied and lived in a
bunch of different EU countries. Every time, though, I am confused with the different health care and tax
regimes. I just feel lost! I think they would have to be regulated in the form of directives on a European
level, although it is unpopular. This is a truly European topic and with the mobility of labor and citizens
"Europeanization" can be well argued. Education: Will have to be standardized in some form. I think, an
ethics class should be compulsory. I dont see how segregatin children of Christian and Muslim faith (etc.) as
students in religion will contribute to mutual understanding. Also, English has to be compulsory from day one.
This is also a very effective social measure. "Rich" Children will always afford an English playground, a stay in
an English speaking country an the like, while "poor" children are seriously disadvantaged in this respects. In
the private economy one's profficiency of English is one of the main determinants to be successful. Energy:
Europe will have to push interconnected power grids and renewable energy. I cannot understand how
Northern Stream (i.e. circumventing Poland and the Baltic States) would benefit Europe. Foreign Aid: All
EU27 bilateral aid should be trasnformed in multilateral European Commission Aid. Studies clearly show that
bilateral aid is driven by strategic considerations rather than need. This is unacceptable!

1540. Education (funding) (importance: 79%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 9)
As I grew up in Germany as a Dutch citizen and moved back to the Netherlands for my studies I have
experienced several issues of imprtoance. I can evaluate on numerous aspects; still I would like to concentrate
on unequal treatment of EU students. The right to receive study funds by the Dutch state is only given to
Dutch students while, if I would study in Germany, I would receive German funds very well (I would also get
a ticket for public transport which Germans here do not receive). While I thus have suficient money to spend
my living, some of my German colleagues hardly can afford the money they need, also because the German
agency responsible for giving funds is working very slowly. Due to lacking money, and now I will be quite
personal, my girlfriend and I could not yet look for an appartment to live together, because she is German and
waits for her "Auslands-Bafög" since one year almost. If the aim is to create a European public sphere which
will also have considerable impact on the internal market, a harmonization of education financing is a good
idea and could thus be done for example with regard to Art. 95.3. EC. The coming generation is most probably
the most European or EU-ish generation and if it will be given better opportunities to study thankts to the EU,
this will foster a sense of European people.
1541. Education, higher education, research (importance: 79%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 11)
We should strengthen our support to public, cheap and quality education institutions. This is because some
countries are still low on higher-education degrees. We should provide citizens with the tools to be more active
in social and technological change. This is where public higher-education institutes and research centres
come to play. The EU should finance more of these in order to create a better and more competitive Europe!

Bilateral Research Programmes like LLP/Erasmus
1543. More education (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 19)
Good education is the base for a steady growth of economy leading to a better social life. New education

All cross-boarder experiences in the EU should be a lot more easier. Maybe there can be a bachelors/masters
program that are taught in four different countries. If people live abroad for a period of time they do get more
acceptance of immigrants in their own country and maybe EU can be a role model in the educational area in
the world. Education is the key of knowledge and self-respect
evaluations: 15)
The EU should become more actively involved with education throughout Europe, mostly by giving students
chances to know more about it and also by encouraging educational reform, guided by interest in the student's
well-being and not by economic policies.
1555. More benefits for students. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 19)
The tuition fee in the universitys should be smaller or there should be more free places (government payed
places). As a student it's not possible to live only with a student loan, you have to go to work and you can't
concentrate on studying 100%. But that should be the meaning.

1563. economic viability for all, education, working and vocations (importance: 78%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 13)
Social cohesion and social justice is important. People less "fortunate", who are not born "rich" should not
have to suffer from social unjustice that is currently the case. Everyone should have decent life conditions,
irrespective of gender, IQ factor, beauty or other such parameters. Taking that into account, less people would
be affected by exploitation for money or selling their vote to parties. Being able to guarantee a security level
at basic every-day expenses and comforts for everyone would create a society of less violence and crime.
Utopia is possible. We should stop dividing people in two categories - rich and poor, ugly and beautiful, smart
and stupid, successful and mediocre... All these have to be reflected in an ethical educational and vocational
system. (ethical not meaning strict but having a core of set values acceptable by the majority)

balance between economy, culture and law as is described in the threefold society by Steiner
1567. More resources for school (importance: 77%, disagreement: 35, evaluations: 5)
The teachers need a better status in the society, but also allowed to take more responsibility. They also need
one or two assistants in each class to be able to help all students, find out if someone has more problems than
understanding the subject. Those who skip class will need to be taken care of and find why they lost interest,
what will catch their interest and how to keep them off the streets and criminality. What will motivate them to
study hard?

adjustment of university conditions in the EU states

1570. Sharing education and knowledge, preferably in science (importance: 77%, disagreement: 26,
evaluations: 11)
The sharing of education and science should start early in our life with a exchange of school between
european countries. So swedish children could study in spain schools and spanish children should study in
swedish schools. This should be done several times under the time you are been educated. This should, after
some time, vastly improve the connection between european countries.

As a young working mother, I am concerned I cannot cope with the demands of my job and the schedule
of childcare facilities, and the school which ends at 3:30pm. Can Europe give incentives to make better
childcare, and better daycare for kids after school? or alternatively we need to organise better part time jobs,
which are often not well paid and not well considered.

The Union will be made by the people, not only by rules or institutions. The more people can circulate and

the governments mean more and more people paying for their childrens education. that's a big shame. the

I think the first and foremost taks of the EU as a trade block is to provide clear cut regulation regarding
consumer standards. I think the EU policy concerning mobile phones is a resounding succes. I can travel
throughout Europe using one type of GSM frequency. In the US, this standardization has not yet come so far.
I would say, keep up the good work. The EU is in my opinion the prime instituion to stimulate the exchange

charging higher fees for courses - it is unfair to expect an 18 year old to want to shoulder such levels of debt at

E.U as a whole. Why is this? We employ more of them than they do us, our GDP is higher by over 2 trillion

offering them, by Sweden and other countries, so much unmonitered credit, without any education to help
them understand the consequences in their lives of this new responsibilty was completely irresponsible and
the EU needs to recitify this. We live in a little community of Ergli and yes EU money is filtering in but where
is the help and expertise to encourage them in community planning and education. Latvia is a disallusioned

Provide scholarships a la marie curie at graduate, post-graduate and doctoral levels, and make it ENTIRELY

and has increasingly less value for employers. Make it a high profile merit-based scholarship much like the
Fulbright scholarships, available only through application through the commission to fund any field of study
in any country of the world. This way the EU can make a contribution to education of its best and brightest at
an early level, creating a tighter bond with the EU (creating EU identity and elite beyond those involved with
brussels activities) while also carrying the EU name as supporting excellence. Suppose you have a 1000
scholarships for one year each giving 10.000 EUR per year, this would cost only 10mio + organisation, and
with some good marketing you can give it the 'value' of some of the top scholarships like Fulbright etc.

Dear Mr. Barroso I have recently turned 28 years old and after dealing with my education, few months ago, i
made the decision to start my own business. I am a health professional (Dietician-Nutritionist). I did make the
choice to come back to Greece after i finished with my postgraduate studies in Scotland, and my fiancee will
soon follow (she is Portuguese). The issues that I have to deal with personally are irrelevant to what troubles
me. And what troubles me is that i see the world I live in getting a worse place. I do not need to state the
obvious. Reality is something relevant, but yet we can all see it is getting worse. The few words I wrote above

and ideas, virtues, that the society of nations should really attempt to achieve. You know it Mr. Barroso, that in
fact, we do miss these principles. Kind regards from Greece Kelaiditis Christos
1611. More flexible and accessible education programmes (importance: 74%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 6)
I would like to see European universities/colleges offer more flexible programmes that suit working
professionals. Here in Europe the situation is a bit less flexible than in the US. Also Master degree
programmes should be encouraged to be in English so that EU citizens can easily do them in other member
states. Everything must be done so that the EU stays competitive and Europeans are more and more
educated. A must is some Blue Card programme to be implemented across the bloc albeit it will be difficult to
convince all the states. More highly qualified immigrants from 3rd countries have to be attracted. Technology
developments/start-ups must be supported by programmes that people can EASILY find.
1612. Motivation and education is of utter importance (importance: 74%, disagreement: 20, evaluations:

I saw a cloud of opinions and thoughts which are really interesting, there are a lot of people whose voices
actually meet each other. But most of the problems that people are concerned of, are like oil floating on the
sea. You can treat them by absorbing a single spot, but it's more efficient and important to stop the leak, which
is the root of "evil". People should be more aware, thus educated and motivated.

Open source software (also called "free software") has a role to play in the future of humanity. Many software
tools are not just commercial products. They allow the human beings to share their precise knowledge, to
describe their common solutions to lots of problems including technologies used to decrease the global
warming or to improve the quality of life for millions of people who do not have a decent life. It is the role of
Europe to consider open source software as a major communication tool that helps scientific and technological
education, and drives positive innovation and peaceful evolution.
1614. Educational preparation for a University (importance: 74%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 14)
My name is Bartłomiej Wrzesiński, a 20-year-old man. I work as a cashier in IKEA Targówek, Poland. This
year I applied to an University in the UK and I had been accepted. However I am not sure of my language
skills, considering them as not sufficient, so my entry will be next year. Within a gap year I would like to
improve it, but as long as I know there is no possibility to get money for my private lessons with an elder
lawyer, a graduate of Cambridge University with whom learning is very constructive and fruitful from my point
of view, unfortunately also expensive. I am not a student or a graduate, so I feel excluded becouse of my
extremely low earnings. Renting a room takes most of my budget, so I save my money on food or just cancel
my lessons. How Europe can help people like me - after secondary education, but not ready to study, living
alone, but not having enough funds, working, but not earning much becouse of lack of 'experience', 'skills',
'education'?

1620. responses to climate change and reductions in emissions (importance: 74%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 11)
- reducing emmissions at source - The economic downturn will prevent leaders from pursuing more
sustainable economies, due to the costs of initial outlays, and economic short-termism. It's important that
MUCH more money is put into research and development of new energy sources, energy efficiency and
environmental technologies (in truth these should have been invested in more heavily decades ago and this
is quite a failure). This downturn and the stimulus packages CAN be an opportunity to leapfrog old emission-
heavy industries and set Europe up as a leader in the field. As the Stern report argued, in the long term,
investment in CC measures is small compared to the long term losses we face - when/if the environmental
systems we depend upon for our survival collapse further, it will make this economic crisis seem a storm in a
teacup. Our leaders must be strong enough to to safeguard our future. Internationally, Europe must be strong
and set responsible parameters in the post-Kyoto era; they need to encourage the laggards in order to enable
global soultions. - CC mitigation - Fear not enough is being done: the use of the CAP by MS still encourages
inefficient/inappropriate land use & South Europe is increasingly threatened with severe soil erosion and
desertification. Old-style dependence on cereals in almost semi-arid conditions is not encouraging. More
attention needs to be paid to buffer habitats e.g. wetlands, carbon sinks, technologies (eg. drip irrigation) &
land use.
1621. Better education opportunities at all leves (importance: 74%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 14)
The EU should encourage its member states to increase the support for education at all levels. Starting

with democracy, especially with judicial system. Due to the fact that we are a least developed country, we do
not posses financial means to improve and promote sustainable development, environmental programs and
projects. We have no access to the course and trainings in EU even for a small part of specialists that have

1634. cheaper mobility, social traversability, financing Education (importance: 73%, disagreement: 18,

Cheaper mobility. Mobility is a key issue in the European Union. People will only appreciate the potential of
Europe's vast cultural diversity if they can experience it. You have gotten rid of the national borders. Thanks
for that. But it's kind of like passing your test for the driving license but not having a car. Many People cannot
experience the new freedom. So in our minds Europe hasn't changed very much since the 80's, while in
fact it has changed a whole lot. Suggestion: Cheap & Highly efficient electric cars. -Yes! I would buy one
of those immediately. Social traversability. It's a shame. -Europe has this vast number of inhabitants, but
most of them don't get the chance to live up to there full potential. Here in Austria for example, if you come
from a socially difficult background (co-alcoholism, broken families), you are better off not even trying to
get an academic degree. Access to the third educational sector is limited, and it's difficult to focus on your
studies with problems like the ones i mentioned following you. Nobody seems to recognize or understand
that. Financing Education Education is not valued in the same way in every county. In societies who do not
recognize it's value, public education is financed poorly. The EU must act, and establish equality, EU-wide.
And there's got to be EU-Quality Assurance of Teachers. Same Hours spent in class per teacher per week,

1639. freedom to work/live/study anywhere in the EU, migration (importance: 73%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 19)
Many EU citizens from some new EU Member-States such as Romania and Bulgaria still cannot work freely
in all the EU Member-States without holding a work permit. While this is promoted as a temporary means
of protecting those Member-States' labour markets, it clashes with these very Member-States' schemes of
recruiting qualified third-country nationals. As long as access to some EU Member-States' labour markets
remains restricted to new EU citizens, offering Blue Card-type work permits to third-country nationals seems
to be quite illogical as priority should be given to the EU citizens. The European Commission should enable
the access of all EU Member-States to the Schengen Information System and to a common European labour
market database as soon as possible. Moreover, the European Commission should encourage more actively
cross-border student, teacher and researcher exchanges (through ERASMUS/SOCRATES/COMENIUS/
LEONARDO programmes), mutual recognition of all academic degrees (including medicine, architecture,
law and other degrees), twinning of workers' unions and professional associations, periodic bilateral or
trilateral meetings of the neighbouring countries' governments (as with France and Germany or Romania and
Hungary), interconnection of the public utilities/energy/transport (railways, highways, waterways, airways)
networks, movement of goods, services, labour and capital, healthcare services and social benefits on the

option instead! The children attend the public-school in the morning and in the afternoon thay are forced to
attend private lessons because seems like in the morning the classes are not teaching anything. Which means
that all families, poor or rich, must pay about 800 euro per month on private afternoon lessons: how can this

Dear Mr. Barroso, Like in the telecommunication market there are many players in the market for universities
as well. For a high school graduate or an undergraduate student it is often very complicated to apply for a

1652. External affairs & Education (importance: 71%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 4)
I believe that external affairs is important in the sence that if we in the EU have a good external relation to
other countries, the EU as a whole will be something to strive to become for other countries. We should
become a role model and by doing this the relationships with other should improve. And if we have good
relations with others, the possibility for conflicts with other countries will decrease magnificantly (i.e. the
gas-conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the implicit conflict with EU-RU by this conflict, was solved
quite peaceful and in good matters). The Bologna process is a good step in the EU educational area - but
the knowledge of going abroad within the EU should increase more. The possibilities of going to another EU
country should increase, and it should be a lot easier. Me myself has been studying in two countries (USA and
Estonia) and it was almost equally hard going to Estonia as USA in the sence of "fixing" things. There should
be more information (and if there is, it should be more visible) about work while studying, possibilities for
financing your studies while being abroad etc. More practical information about the country of destination.

I beleive that there is not an equal status for all the countries in the E.U The central administration so has
to put as it's main goal the reinforcement of the less developed countries and the gap between north and
south,west and east should be the less one. The closest concetration should be paid in great projects such
as the roads, aiports,ports,hospitals.The attempts also sould be more tensive to the effort of minimizing the
unemployment which is gettig higher the last period due the financial crisis. EU countries should have more
tide relationships between them ,we see some countries to feel and behave more like allies of the U.S than
members of the E.U The European mentality should be cultivated among the members of E.U and this will be
only if education and culture,two of the oldest and strongest characteristics of our continent have the priority
which they deserve in the system of each country member of E.U The European matters should be reinforced
in all the matters like a)the common law system, b)the common foreign policy, c)the common financial route,
The great advantage og Europe is that it was the founder of almost all the great discoveries in the so-called
Western world.It's products still are known as the best or at least of the best in the world,it is really pity to see
great trade marks of Europe to move their production units to other continents due to lower costs. We need

Studying should never again be a matter of having the finances for it or not. Today students are severely
restricted by time budget (BA-MA structure forces them to finish studies quickly and enter labour market)
and money budget. Consequence: no time for Erasmus or study/intern abroad. Universities should adjust/
harmonize their curricullums to each other! This will surely attract more students!

1660. University/Higher studies (importance: 70%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 14)
The EU should focus on studies because the EU is and will be an economy based mainly on knowledge. A
problem that exists is that by harmonising education it doesn't always improve it. The EU has to look at some
issues. For example the Erasmus programme, too often this leads to a big holiday trip. The EU has to take
care on this. Erasmus students are often evaluated easier. This leads to the idea that the EU only wants to
create a European minded elite by the Erasmus programme but doesn't really invest in qualified education.
An other issue on education is the harmonization of the study structure. This will probably lead to longer
studies in some countries. By this the EU has to take into account that it is a bad idea for society if people
have to study longer and thus begin to work later. It has to be taken into account whether or not this leads to
better educated citizens. Sometimes people get the impression that students have a luxurious live. Of course
this is not a full competition of the EU but the EU has to take it into account.

EU has to stop those States that act illegally in certain cases. As we all know, and especially us that are in
the legal field, some people/entities only act according to law ONLY when the "space" to move around in an
illegal manner has been eliminated. The matter I'm referring to, is the recognition of degrees from universities
outside the host country. As you know, Greece still has this organization called NARIC, and still is not working
according to the Geneva Convention. Once you show up with your degree from a foreign (within the EU)
university, the degree should be recognized at once. Well, this is not happening, and this is what I am talking
about; OUR EU, should create a legal framework stating that if an EU member state does not apply the laws/
convention within 1 year from signing it, should be threat with an exit from the EU. That is the only way EU
will come to be really United, and a super power in today's World era. Education is after all, the cornerstone of
everything!
German, etc...) in public schools. Not in the traditional way though. There should be "optional" courses in
schools (eg - EFL), thus allowing students to get more familiar with the language. In my opinion, the time
reserved for the teaching of such subjects, isn't enough. Another thing I'd like to add is that the EU should help
those who want to take a language course in a country where the language is natively spoken, this could be
through cutting the fees/financial aid to pay them; helping with accomodation costs.

can no be that Europe spends fifty times more for agricultural subsidies than in very important educational

among students of different schools is being achieved particurarly by internet. EU could focus on student
communication by several ways: developing sites where students from different universities (and,however not
necessarily, similar schools) could discuss for several subjects, improving/creating projects where students
would visit foreign universities for a few days (in a way of educational trip) and find out how other universities,
except of their own, run (such as Erasmus Project, but in a more academic style). These would help students
discover other, foreign cultures, exchange ideas, knowledge (both students & teachers) and ,mainly, discover
the labor market of Europe (and not stay only in the market of their country).

achievements. Within the EU, women such as those mentioned, have to start life all over again. This leaves
little or no scope for them to enjoy the freedom of movement, work and all the other rights accorded under the

integrated by one study level to another. The problem of course is not at the final examinations but at the job
that is taking place until that level. There is no any assesment of the teachers and proffesors by their students
as it happens elsewhere, but the most important for me is the structural way of teaching (one book, very tight
framewok of the lesson, no interaction with the students, no promotion of active participation, no promotion
of the students imagination and their personality. From the other hand when the students graduate they is no
any organisation to assist them to enter smootly into the market, to explain them what the choices of work (of
course these should take place much earlier at the age of 15!). Another point has to do with the low level of
innovation and research in my country. There is no any specific interest to promote research to the universities
and the industry research is something unknown here. The research of the univerisities is usually the EU
programmes that give some money to the Universities and to professors but there is no actually a research,
there is no such real planning! Therefore with have large braindrain.

1684. Increase EU related education for younger children (importance: 67%, disagreement: 40,
evaluations: 5)
The EU will not be fully democratic until citizens understand it - understand its history, development and
current functioning. These are complex issues and brochures and websites are not enough. yound students
need to learn about the EU the same way they learn about their national political systems.
1685. Recognition of praktikums for students as worthy of stipends (importance: 67%, disagreement: 26,
evaluations: 17)
Many University students arrange practicums to supplement their theoretical studies; often course
requirements make these practicums mandatory. Primary research shows many students put in large
amounts of time, energy, and emotional-intellectual capital doing these practicums for both non-profit and
for-profit organizations. Yet, in far too many instances, their human labor is not seen as worthy of monetary
compensation; not even a small stipend for travel or meals or other incidental costs. Granted students often
gather "priceless experience", nevertheless, there are far too many instances (maybe you know some from
personal experience) where students feel/are exploited. Using students as a free/captive labor pool is totally
unacceptable and contrary to the founding principles of the EU. What can be done about this practice? I think
this survey is a great idea; may it serve its intended purpose well
1686. Languages at school (importance: 66%, disagreement: 46, evaluations: 4)
Students should learn more languages at school. Belgian students know at least 3 languages (Dutch,
French and English). Some learn even a fourth language. However Spain, France, Germany, England, Italy,
there people know just one language. If we are to think of a united Europe people should at least have one
language in common. English seems to be the best feasible language to promote.
1687. let european students know what the job market needs in eu (importance: 66%, disagreement: 37,
evaluations: 4)
When students are still in the university, allow them to know what are the main necessities of the job market in
various different european countries, besides your own. have a list with activities that are more needed at the
time being and others that are not, do so to avoid unemployment
1688. Hamonizing and reducing the fiscality within the EU. (importance: 66%, disagreement: 30,
evaluations: 8)
Furthermore, the fiscal system is too burdensome for the EU producers, too. Why should our producers
face such of high-level taxes and such of protective social system when they have the possibility to work
with Chinese/Indian people, who more productive and efficient?! On the one hand, they have to pay bigger
salaries for the European workers, while assuring their social rights. All these are very good, but we have
now to consider the fact that there are almost 2.5 billions people eager and able to work 24/24 hrs. only
for surviving. On the other hand, the EU producers have to pay high taxes therefore, in order to sustain
an inefficient and anachronistic social system. As a matter of fact, there are some countries within the EU
where an entrepreneur is working 2/3 of a day for the state, and only the rest for himself; why is he waking-
up anymore? Or why is he still remaining to produce here, in EU?! The solution I figure out is to harmonize
the fiscal system within the EU very soon and to reduce the social protection and the taxes to be paid by the
producers. Otherwise, we will remain without production in EU, and this way, without jobs, because we can
not all - over 493 millions of European people - become advisers or councilors. We can not compete with the
Asian inventiveness... Why not paying only VAT in EU?! The economy will become this way a very transparent
one and will attract for sure other investors in the EU, while our will remain home, continuing to work here
1689. Higher education (importance: 65%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 7)
It's hard for some very talanted students to go and study abroad in best universities because of lack of money
or opportunities. Itis hard to study and work at the same time, so some can't apply f.e to Oxford, even if
they are intelligent enough and only because they come from a poor family and their country do not support
them. Also it's hard to achieve some academic requirements, if needed tests can be made only thousands of
kilometres away from home.
1690. Culture, justice, education and good will would erase egoism (importance: 65%, disagreement: 26,
evaluations: 7)
Looking vertically at the issues I noticed to different words that were not, at the first vue connect with the rest,
but thinking better they were to far advanced... sometimes the most simple are the most complex.... If egoism
didn´t exist we wouldn't need EU, there would be justice, comanded by cultural issues and great education
values, shared by all, in a permanent contact between different countries and people. If all this conditions were
observed there would be peace, love and respect... but this If is to ideal to come true, lets just believe... that
we can?

1691. Bring media, education and copyright into the 21th century (importance: 65%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 10)
Copyrights harm recorded history. We have millions of hours of audio, black and white film, and millions of
books some going back hundreds of years. Very little material is available to the public. To know who we
are we need to know know our history. "Owners" should be compensated. Education needs to become
more social, embrace creativity and self expression. Parents should be involved, children should participate
in evolutionary creation of visually aided educational material using the above copyrighted material.
Documentary films should replace books where possible, education should be fun. Discipline is not the same
chapter. Passion for a topic outperforms discipline 1000:1. A computer is basically a studio, students can
direct great films after learning something. We have to much uninspired uninteresting people creating our
media. We need passionate experts to illustrate their fascination with real world development. Our thousands
of professors and experts don't need a journalist to be able to talk. Constructive topics like robotics and
automation in stead of shock doctrine and entertainment. The media should cover the same topics as schools
at that specific week to allow for parent / child dialog. "Inconvenient truth"; is mandatory viewing in many
schools around the world. Here is the Dutch flood [1953] with the whole world sending aid. http://www.

1692. International students (importance: 65%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 7)
Students will be the next entrepreneurs. Allowing students more acces to experiences and education abroad
in Europe would definitly improve the international relations and businesses of the future.
1693. Employment for freshly graduated students (importance: 64%, disagreement: 30, evaluations: 11)
Being myself a newly graduated student (I do have a tri-national master degree in Law) I find it hard to get
a job because most of the companies in the private sector ask for a several year working experience and
it is obvious that new graduates cannot have this experience. In addition I think the companies should give
to the freshly graduated students a chance to work and to get working experience. It is only by trying and
doing sometimes mistakes that one gets this experience. So why somehow excluding the young work-willing
generation from the job market? For me this should be an area the EU may focus on by developing new
employment friendly politics for young graduates.
1694. A uniform educational system. (importance: 64%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 17)
At the moment I am applying for masters around Europe. The lack of one uniform system of education is
indeed making things harder.
1695. reducing healthcare costs (importance: 63%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 10)

1697. Consumer education (importance: 63%, disagreement: 31, evaluations: 8)
The EU should become more involved in citizens receiving, through regular education (curricular level)
and life-long learning, education related to consumer protection . These could involve financial consumer
education, education for health in relation to consumer products, education for protecting the environment in
relation to consumer products, etc. While these are done through various means at national level a Directive in
this respect could push national consumer protection associations and Education ministries to move to larger-
scale actions.
1698. Increase student aid (importance: 63%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 9)
European Union should increase the ammount of student aid given to it citizens. I believe that there isn't such
thing as student aid in many countries, but in Finland we have a decent system, but it isn't enough to get by,
you can't live with it. Education is extremely important for me.
1699. reducing labour charges (importance: 63%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 9)
if we want to keep some jobs in eu, we need lower social charges, we must no longer accept goods
produced in unacceptable conditions, in the long run, even chinese salaries will be high,then what next?;
in really long run, all countries should have smilar wages and hence all assume some productions for
itself and then others as well (some goods traded, some goods locally sourced) EUROPE SHOULD HAVE
HIGHER CONSUMPTION TAXES AND LOWER WAGE TAXES SO THAT OUR OWN PRODUCTS STAY
COMPETITIVE
1700. The European university policy (importance: 62%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 5)
Why the Eu institutions don't develop a coordinated university policy which points to teach the languages
(english, french, italian, spanish or Oriental languages) for giving to all students the same possibility and to
improve in all of Countries the language learning? In Italy this is doesn't happens and the differences between
italian students and other are large and worrying.

1702. Low chance for non-EU residents to study in Western Europe (importance: 61%, disagreement: 29,
evaluations: 6)
On this issue I think EU should focus more on non-EU residents who wants to achieve high education in
Europe but do not have the necessary resources. Special program must be elaborated for Eastern European
non-EU countries, thus to make the integration of individuals and countries easier. Also to support export of
know-how from EU to Non-EU countries. For further development it is vital to cooperate as much as possible
with countries from EU at the level of simple citizens.
1703. Polution, global worming,education. (importance: 61%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 7)
First of all, there must be done something about the air polution in big cities immediately in order to prevent
people's lives of cancer and other diseases. In addition to the first issue, it is undoubtably urgent a solution
to stop global worming. All in all, I reckon that the changes that are about to be made should definitely take a
place in every country's educational programme in order for the next generetion to get used to a certain type
of "green" life and to behaviours absolutely friendly to the environment.
1704. The EU should focus on stenghtening research and education. (importance: 61%, disagreement:
32, evaluations: 5)
Research & development is the future. Member states don't do enough to promote scientific research and to
support young scientists. In order to stay compatable in the knowledge society, this should be different.

it bothers me the fact that I won't be able to take a student loan for my Master's degree.
1708. City Center and University (importance: 59%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 3)
The center of the city of Thessaloniki in which i live, "bleeds" by car traffic and lacks of parking. For students,
getting downtown is a daily problem because as you can imagine lessons are not consecutive so many times
we must return home to eat and rest, and then get in the university again. This is very difficult and complicated
since the only mean of transport in Thessaloniki is the bus and it's extremely full anytime. To sum up, i believe
first that the underground's construction must accelerate and second that a very large free of charge for
students parking must be established near the Aristotele University of Thessaloniki.
1709. reducing cost for governing by being innovative (importance: 59%, disagreement: 42, evaluations:
3)
By using modern technology the Peoples representatives, irrespective of them being local, national, EU or
UN, by using new solutions they can be more effective, better tuned in with their voters and the people they
represent. Furthermore it will reduce the costs of governing their "parish" and reduce the time for passing
laws. Civil servants can improve their efficiency as well and of course the CO2 reduction that can be done will
help the EU tremendouslyl

I am a Psychologist – Writer, Life Long Martial Artist, born in Athens, grew up and educated in South Africa (21
years), returned permanent to Athens... In the past I wrote a letter to you (President Baroso) and requested
a personal meeting, so to introduce to the European Community a unique Art of Fighting where its main
objectives will be: To develope a strong - discipline character, thus by introduce it to the Primery Schools of all
the European Countries, we will create worthy citzens, away of all bad habitts of knife killing, drugs, alchool,
theft, rape, stilling... Also, to teach them a Fighting Art where injury their opponent will be forbitten, thus in this
way they will respect its other and a strong foundation of friendship will develope thus to make Europe be
proud of its young Citizens, where they will be a fine example for the rest of the world. Although I do not feel
the age coming, I will not live for ever, thus decision has to be soon! For more details about my Art, please

evaluations: 12)
EU is not America, we are not built on ideals but on more or less closed communities with strong identities
coming together. Immigration will cause a huge problem unless it is reduced significantly, to the level where
integration takes over segregation. This can only be done when the population sustains itself, so childbearing
should be encouraged even more.

1717. spiritual and cultural education with a Common EU policy (importance: 51%, disagreement: 21,

Mr President, On 13 April 1868 a British Army Looted the churches of Ethiopia of artifacts and manuscripts
valued by the Guardian newspaper at over 3 Billion sterling, the looted church property can be found in
England today, the six manuscripts in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle are owned by the Church of
Madhane Alem at Magdala, they and the other treasures were taken by sacrelidge, what is the responsibility
of the Elected Officials of the European Union concerning this matter that affect the belief system of every
European citizen, can the voters of the European Union express an opinion on this matter? President Hans-
Gert Pottering is aware of this spiritual and cultural policy objective, can the European Commission and
Parliament agree a common policy concerning the looting of the Ethiopian Church on 13 April 1868 and the
looted property in England today, can the contents of the manuscripts be disseminated to the citizens of the
European Union? At the recent G20 meeting in London the Queen of England refused to present President
Obama with digital copies of the manuscripts, to provide hope faith and confidence to the American peoples,
what is the responsibility of the members of the European Union concerning the looting of the Ethiopian
Church on 13 April 1868 and the looted property in England today? I am Ras Seymour Mclean, International

1718. The power of the EU must be reduced (importance: 49%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 12)
This website is an attemp to select the views of a few pro-EU people and then present them as the Voice
of the People. ---- In a democracy, the citizens have individual rights, but the citizens in their entirety have
a political impact only from a quantitative point of view -- one follows the decisions of the majority. For Ur-
Fascism, however, individuals as individuals have no rights, and the People is conceived as a quality, a
monolithic entity expressing the Common Will. Since no large quantity of human beings can have a common
will, the Leader pretends to be their interpreter. Having lost their power of delegation, citizens do not act;
they are only called on to play the role of the People. Thus the People is only a theatrical fiction. There is in
our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be
presented and accepted as the Voice of the People. Umberto Eco "!4 ways of looking at a blackshirt"

People in Lithuania are being discriminated against on the ground of sexual orientation, as well as other
grounds. The institutions such as Equal Opportunities Ombudsmen Office does not protect them and the
courts are ignorent as well. People do not have money to look for justice in courts. There should be an EU
institution which protect them and force national governments to obey to EU directives.
1723. Gender Discrimination should be eliminated (importance: 94%, disagreement: 6, evaluations: 4)
In Greece we have a major problem of gender discrimination. Women who dare to work in fields that are
dominant by men face serious issues of discrimination and if they are better than men at what they do they
are still being treated awfully. This happens not only when you have a job but when someone is looking for
a job in certain fields the gender plays a major role. I don't understand why this keeps happening and EU
should force the Greek government to place a strict legislation with fines and sue policies to individuals and
companies in order to protect our rights to work.

1729. equal regulation in all states of the EU (importance: 91%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 5)
e.g. taxes: the system is not easy for people living in a state having a job in the neighbour state. In order to
send papers to one office you have to go to one institution in one land have a signature from an institution of
the other to verify the you made it right. e.g. same identity card in all states! It is not possible. I have to make
hundreds of kilometres to go to my embassy to get only a passport that even do not has my address on it.
That means other problems ... e.g. car regulation. a German car can not be imported without problems to e.g.
France. the other way it is the same thing. so are many "small" problems you will have when you live in an
other country of the EU that could be avoided simply

I see lots of efforts put into the fight against corruption in the new member States or in the countries aspiring to

Italy and corruption is an every day problem. Beginning from our Government and Parliament, a huge part of
them have been involved and found guilty of corruption by our Courts. Why doesn't the EU have a say on this
and force our institutions to commit to honesty, rule of law and the democratica values that the EU is putting
forward?

The eu should use it's power of inclusion/ exclusion of nations to pressure them more on these issues, also
when nations are allready member it should be able to exclude them again. It's outrageous that countries like
poland remain a member while homosexuals are being discriminated even by state officials. It's outrageous
that Berlusconi is able to have power over state and media. They should be excluded untill change has been

1744. human rights and solidarity as the basis of society (importance: 88%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 18)
The respect of human rights should be the basis of our society. In past the emphasis was strongly on the civil
rights. Lately more emphasis - at least among NGO activists - is put to economic, social and cultural rights,
so that today we have a healther and more balanced view. Unfortunately, the society stays behind these
thoughts. Three decades of neoliberalism have been a time of neglecting the social and economical rights of
the world population's majority. Traditionally human rights movement dealt more often with individual rights
than with solidarity, which is equally important for a healthy society. Phylosophy, science, religion - they all tell
us, each using its own wording, that human beings self-actualise only through others. For these reasons I see
human rights and solidarity as a basis for a healthy society in which I would like to live and which I wish for
others.
1745. Human rights and civil liberties (importance: 88%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 16)
The E.U has a responsibilty as a large supra-national organisation to ensure that universal human rights are
awarded to its citizens. As terrorism becomes a bigger threat to Europe, the E.U should ensure that national
governments don't use that as an excuse to erode basic rights such a privacy and freedom.

Today Eastern Europe suffers disrespect to human rights. I would say it is the main difference between
Western Europe and us. Europe is not united not because of economics, but just live in different worlds with
diffrerent values and life style. I think we should spend much more money to change it.
1748. national corruption (importance: 88%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 4)
There is so much corruption in Greece and I see it every single day working in the public sector. The EU
should think of a better way to control national expenses that have led to such a high debt. In the organisation
I work in, there is a need for scientists. However, they keep employing new administrative staff that simply
don't have an office -or even a chair- to sit in. If you don't know someone who is in the administration you're
very unlikely to get a new position. Greece WORKS this way and, no matter what the political party in power
is, the same story goes on and on. We NEED external audits. Otherwise, Greece will remain the same.
Paraeconomy is also a big problem and it is not even controled. Go for a coffee in Thisseio and you won't get

1749. downsizing bureaucracy inside the Eu (importance: 88%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 13)
1750. Human traffiking and human rights (importance: 88%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 9)
Obviously, even though we live in the 21st century, we can see that there's still lack of respect to the human
rights, and especially towards weak categories, for example children. It's clear to see that we, people,
can't understand that we're all equal to each other. We see everyday examples of human exploit ( women,
immigrants, kids, employees ) but it seems that we don't think that it's a very important issue, probably
because it doesn't happen to us. In my opinion the E.U. should pay more attention to the problem of the
human rights' violation.
1751. Fight corruption (importance: 88%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 15)
enforce the law and fight corruption
There are suspected corruption problems in many European governments and the courts in the affected
countries seem oblivious to the situation or actually incapable of dealing with it. The EU should setup a
corruption oversight committee with the power to investigate and prosecute heads of state and government
leaders in those countries.

I am a dentist. Each year more and more regulations get enacted by the EU, which in a low income country
like Malta are difficult to implement whilst still earning a living.
US offered people this unalienable rights: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. But in fact it was Europe
which abandoned death penalty and imperial wars after very painful experiences, the US offered the liberties
and freedoms, but more like in quantitative manner, we should offer quality - no too much kinds of ketchup
in local supermarkets and poor education which would lead the people to accept the previous as a fulfilment
of a "dream", but the choice based on the deep roots, mutual respect and tradition. The right of pursuit of
happiness, OK, but doesn't the life need the real sense too? The key is to offer more - but qualitatively. The
people and principles of society didn't change too much since American revolution, what is our real advantage
- the possibility to communicate the ideas this way - it's THE real revolution - we don't need to fight each other
anymore to come to some common agreement on basics of the structure of our relationships.
The corruption at each level affects my daily life, because there is no single moment when I feel that I am
treated in an equitable manner if I don't bribe some authority.
1758. The EU must protect Human Rights in Lithuania. (importance: 87%, disagreement: 22, evaluations:
26)
Lithuania is non-democratic state because here violate Human Rights.
1759. Human Rights protection (importance: 86%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 21)
Governments' interference in private lives [UK - article 44.2, inititive to monitor webcommunities; Finland -
internet control, Italy - antiterror law] is beyond the line of tollerance. What made this Continent great and
mighty in the past were free and unconstrained citizens.
1760. Corruption of the governments (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 17)
EU was created in order to - among other things - progress united in economical and social sectors.
Unfortunately this progress never came to Greece due to the corruption of the politicians. Large amounts of
money have been granted from the EU in order to built up an economy, to make citizens' life better and to
compete with social needs. But due to political incompetence and corruption, no goals were achieved, no
progress has been made.
Europe should become a champion for human rights around the world, without putting the issue aside in
favor of economic or strategic benefits. It should also actively work to improve the human rights situation in its
member countries.
1762. electric cars, freedom of speech, legal sharing of informati (importance: 86%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 7)
Making a good enviroment for human rights.
This is a very touchy subject for any country, as none country exists without it. There is a certain inertia in
Romania after the revolution, when stealing and using connections were just like breathing the air. It is sad
that even after so many years people didn't understand how to rule without taking advantage of their positions
in making fortunes. I guess EU can only warn the states regarding this practices, but cannot much intervene
in the internal politics, but I hope in the future, there will be a common punishment system for serious cases of
corruption.
1766. human rights and safety (importance: 86%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 14)
Human rights also have a border crossing character, when it comes to themes like human trade. Here,
security also comes in. At the same time, privacy and other human rights should be protected (especially in
dealing with terrorism).

1767. Protecting citizens privacy and civil liberties (importance: 86%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
No cameras on street corners, no DNA-registers, no Internet censorship, no spying of citizens on the Internet,
no listening of their phone calls or reading their emails etc. Please. :)
actively promote and safeguard equal rights for all, regardless of gender, religion, appearance (fat/slim),
sexual orientation, race, etc. not just in words but also actively through legislation, education, media, etc.
across Europe and by pressuring / lobbying countries that do not respect human rights (e.g. Iran, Saudi
Arabia, China, Israel, most African countries, etc.)
The European Union should also ensure that the same principles on Human Rights apply all over Europe.
Europe has top monitor the situation in the Member States and impose solutions when needed and moniot its
implementation.
1770. Education and Law & Order (importance: 85%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 15)
1) more help should be given to new members of the EU, such as the Baltic States and others (ex Soviet)
This is as a teacher in Lithuania, I find it very disturbing that the schools, colleges and uni's I have been in
in this day and age in the 21st century, that teachers do not have money to do basics like photocoping of
education material to give to students, the cost of this MUST come from the teachers own pocket. Teachers
are not well paid in this country, like most profesinal people. Schools etc do not even have toilet seats in the
toilets nor toilet paper, or means for students and teachers to wash their hands afterwards. This is a health
risk. The youth of these countries are the future and should be given every opportunity t gain a proper
and safe education as other members of teh EU, where other member states would not accept this below
standard. More efort should be made to ensure that any monies given to these countries that monies given
for the purpose is monmitored 100% to make sure monies go where it is intended for. 2)To bring up the level
of proffesionlism in policeing, help should be given to enable for the police to be able to do their work as
their counter parts in other EU countries. Having equipment and transport to the same standard as in other
countries. the police here do their best with what little they have. There should also be monitors placed to
ensure that any monies given are spent in the correct manner. Police pay should come in line.
1771. Very few. EU regulation is too burdensome now (importance: 85%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 6)
EU Directives and Regulations, and their national support regimes, are complex, ill thought out and too prone
to shabby political compromises rather than addressing the issues involved. Some are sanctimonious, others
hypocritical and others just simple political grandstanding. A free society should allow people to be free. The
EU fails.
1772. Human Rights within the EU (importance: 85%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 21)
The EU can ensure via sanctions that Member states uphold human rights for all within their control. By
this I mean, the rights of gays, lesbians, the disabled, the elderly etc. I am aware that in many member
states, mostly the newer ones, that homophobia and other forms of discrimination are widespread. While I
acknowledge that one cannot change a peoples' prejudices overnight, the EU can and should ensure that
such prejudices are not institutionalised in government and government agencies.
1773. Human rights as a global standard (importance: 85%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 34)
Human rights should be the most export product of Europe!!!!
1774. political corruption (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 20)
should be banned from european union, and applied the Law to all politicians envolved in corruption, because
this affect europe, with serious consequences-degradation of morality, ethic values, health services, because
no funds enough to support all the above with reasonable standards
1775. Corruption in the public sector (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 17)
The EU should try to enforce its laws and regulations not only in a national level and top administrative levesl
but also run (suprise?) checks in all levels of public administration, so that it will be able to strike pockets of
corruption that are untouchable and useen by the control mechanisms of each country.

179

EU should spend more attention to the matter of human rights, especially in Eastern-Central-Europe.
Since the 2004 and 2007 enlargement the Union adopted many prolems as well, with roots in the last 3
yearhundreds. These unsolved problems (mainly of ethnic and national minorities) often turn into hostility,
with governmental supports. The EU does have to try to show a path, how to handle minorities properly, in
a European way. There's also a problen of positive discrimination. Although that's a matter of the member
states indeed, but the Comission, as having the most influence in the EU should have some words conerning -
and condemning - that. I believ that discrimination (even positiv) should be replaced by giving a helping hand,
social reforms and equality.
1778. So, what am I supposed to do in a corrupt system? (importance: 84%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 3)
I have my moral standards. So, I can forget about developing my project, because I have my moral
boundaries? Is it all over for me in my country because rules of EU grant applications are not realistic? Is it
over for me, with my US Ivy League degree, because I am not playing according to impossible rules created
between the well to do old states and the totally run down new states? Also, why over-sponsor the under
classes, when the middle class in Hungary is thin and undeveloped? How am I supposed to pull society
upward with returning professionals from all walks of life, if your programs are only focusing on romas,
uneducated women, the slightly educated unemployed, and unemployable scientists? How about young,
female, middle class entrepreneurs? Why only educate us, when we are already over educated? Why offer me
a business training when I have a business degree? Why offer me a training in how to create an enterprise,
when I have one already? Why not offer me the SEED money for 5 years to build my enterprise? Why not give
us funding for new initiatives, but under realistic circumstances, and not based on the decisions of our rather
rotten elite, that never made it beyond our borders for over 2 months. Why not position returnees beyond the
local, static elite, that is afraid to give up its positions? Why does my future depend on a couple of corrupt civil
servants who are only jealous of me because I had the courage to travel and study in several countries?
1779. less corruption and more accountability (importance: 84%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 10)
we have too much of one and too little of the other. we do not need more regulation to do this. just the freedom
as citizens to oversee affiars affecting us.
1780. Freedom of movement (Article 45 of the Charter of rights) (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 10)
Here in the UK our freedom of movement is being erroded day by day, by the government. Why should we
have to have a passport to travel into Europe, when other countries citizens do not have to.
1781. No to Sharia law in Europe! (importance: 84%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 31)
Selected Muslim clerics like for example Mustafa Ceric of Bosnia-Hercegovina want to implement sharia law
in Europe. Sharia law discriminates against women, against sexual minorities, and against other religions.
Sharia law curtails the freedom of expression when it comes to crticism of Islam. Sharia law does not accept
the principle of secularism. Sharia law is therefore not compatible with EU law and specifically Art. 6 of the EU
Treaty.
1782. Intellectual rights (importance: 84%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 6)
There is no creativity without intellectual rights.
That's one of the most dangerous problems in politics today, that distorts efforts and generate enormous
waste of resources and of credibility. EU should study how to help developing countries to tackle the issue, but
before doing that it should focus on its own mechanisms and states, intervening in a more decisive way (eg in
Italy!)
Since I was 14 my mum is fighting for at least a bit of the property after divorce. Tomorrow I will be 26 and I
don't care, that my father took all what we ever had (even my own bed), never paid my studies (Hopefully I will
get my diploma this month and I'm proud that worked for it on my own). The story would be too long. The only
thing which worries me a lot is, that my mum doesn't deserve that after over 12 years nobody could help her
and the jurisdiction don't mind even take her house and all health. To whom do I pay such a high taxes when
there is no protection of battered children and women?
1785. protect worker rights (importance: 84%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 3)
A balance must always be found between professional and family life. I don't want to end up like the
Japanese, working 10 or 12 hours a day for the same salary as I got working 8. This is not what globalisation
should bring for us. Instead of copying the Chinese, we should ask for minimum labour standards from them to
import products over here.

1786. Stop the violations of European Laws in Lithuania (importance: 84%, disagreement: 19, evaluations:

The EU should compel Lithuania to respect the Human Rights and to carry out the European Convention on
the Human Rights.
1787. Bureaucracy & Corruption (importance: 84%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 22)
The system in Greece works fast only if you are a politician or an influencial person. People not involved in
politics find it very hard to get things done, there is a lot of bureaucracy and you need to spend endless hours
queuing in order to finish finalize state related work. There is little technological equipment and too much
paper. And this is the method governments follow to maintain things as they are, not do any efficient work and
keep the number of people employed by the state growing. Promising work positions is a way of "bying" votes.

1789. Bureaucraucy in EU (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 9)
Most of the time it seems EU is spending way too much on administrative functions, and many times new

make the EU organization slinner and leaner, and more efficient?

1. Please rever to my answers from the first section of the survey. 2. As I read some of the other poller's
opinions I think that the Lisabon treaty might be of an extreme importance as it would be the basis on which
greater EU unfication or unique European identity would be promoted. Probably the EU officials should work
for bringing closer the EU structures to its citizens. I live in Bulgaria and Sofia is much different from Brussels.
I know there are European institutions in Belgium but I don't feel any connection with them. Their actions are a
bit fuzzy and the reason for decisions aren't clear as they aren't announced in a manner easily understood by
the common citizen. I know The Lisabon Treaty lays the foundations of a greater and stronger union. But how
would that affect my daily life? People want to know this, nothing else. How would that affect people mobility
within the EU? How would that affect immigration policies? How would it make me feel closer to the Hungarian
or the Lithuanian, for example? Mil thanks for the attention.

The level of corruption in my country is extremely high - from local municipal structures to the highest level of

Bulgaria has been accepted in the first place.
1793. CORRUPTION IN PUBLIC TENDERS- NO TRANSPARENCY (importance: 83%, disagreement: 17,

1794. Privacy - EU law should protect the privacy of individuals. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 11)
Universal EC rules (in the form of Regulations rather than Directives) should grant more privacy protection
to individuals. Data collection on individual's activities are exponentialy increasing with the more widespread
use of IT system. Individuals' move are traced using travel cards. Individuals's online behaviour is carefully
monitored, registered and stored by internet companies including among others Google/Yahoo but also by
own Internet Service Providers. Yes those data mining technology enabled practices are beneficial for a
more targetted marketing or service offering but their simultaneously open a singificant threat to the privacy
of individuals. (e.g. Imagine if Google Health was to provide information to Insurers or Employers about the
condition of one's health. Imagine if ) Yes the governments should better control online and international
criminality but the currently implemented methods fails to adequately control cybercriminals*, while the
general population under close monitoring fail to control criminals. *Indeed cyber-criminals can easily use
sophisticated technical means to avoid identification. (Imagine if the people were to elect an unscrupulous
government.)
1795. about the rights of citizen and the pubblic sector (importance: 83%, disagreement: 16, evaluations:

I think that private citizens has to fight the pubblic sector power i.e. the burocratization of the economy, for ex.
the monopoly in the water sector, the lack of communication and the maintenance of not meritocratic system
for ex. in the italian univerity where for young researcher is fast impossible to become professor for his results
not for his friendship. another ex is why i have to pay a minimum consumer of water ( 120 liters per year
without really to consumer )? Isn't a way to induce to consumer more water? why i cannot opposite to this ?
who defend me?

Corruption at all stages of political and social life, should be faught at all levels-both national and european.
Speaking from my own's country perspective I am covinced that at least 30% of all its problems could be
solved simply by fighting corruption (tax evasion, black labour market, etc)
evaluations: 11)
1798. Bureaucracy (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 11)
The every day life of a greek citizen is filled with bureaucratic issues, often resulting to red tape. Even in
employment and sustainability matters, red tape seems to prevent every effort for a fast and easy way to
"get the job done". Finding models which provide fast and easy answers and solutions for the problems of
every citizen will solve many of our everyday situations and give us more time and more appretiation to our
community.
Respect of Human rights globally is an essential goal, if we want the global community to work.
1800. Corruption and Corrupt Governments exploiting nationalism (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14,

evaluations: 16)
Tackle corruption and nepotism. Especially in southern Europe but also at the European administartive level.
1803. Corruption and Transparency (importance: 82%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 11)
1) The good intentions of the G20 must be implemented rapidly and publicized. 2) The accounting on the
companies must be 100% transparent (no more creative accounting!) in order to reflect thoroughly the wealth
and the status of the operations. The Country States need, more than ever, tax money and cannot afford
to see billions going under the carpet in Tax Paradises. The countries that do not understand this must be
brought quickly to reason as there is no time to play around. 3) Bonus and Benefits packages must be linked
to good performance and not to no performance at all! 4) Mechanisms should be put in place to prevent that
Bonus Seeking does not turn into unacceptable Risk Taking. Everything should be audited and controled by
independant entities.

for example a high % of subsidies are 'lost' to corrupt government officials, bureaucracy hinders all aspects
of dealing with the state (e.g. taxes, building permits, starting a business, etc.), you have to pay extra / bribe
to get your job done either at all or in time (e.g. paying doctors in public 'free' hospitals, bribes for driving
licenses, bribes for housing licenses, etc.)

1807. european citizenship and consumer rights. (importance: 82%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 13)
As an individual citizen, I feel there are a lot of barriers within europe on european citizenship on one side and
on consumer rights and protection on the other. The EU should concentrate more on becoming a single space
for citizens/consumers (not just companies). Examples: - I am Italian, resident in belgium. The commune of
St Gilles issued me a "residency permit" instead of an ID. I cant use it for travelling, need to go to Italy every
five years for my ID. Conclusion: feel like a B-class citizen in Belgium and not very clear on what difference
the treaty of Maastricht did for me on this... worse of all: in the capital of europe I dont know where to turn
to. Suggestion: create european citizens advise bureaux to provide advise (not brochures). - You purchase
a good in one country and you cant use it in another country because it doesn't comply with local rules. So
you have to buy the same product of the same brand in the other country. This enables companies to limit
competition and impose different prices of the same good in different countries. It happened to with several
goods I purchasec while renewing my apartment in Brussels (boiler, eletrical systems etc.... and they all
have the EC mark on it!). - airlines are totally untrasparent about how they make prices (some still have fuel
surcharge; BrusselsAirlines has higher airport taxes than others on same route, often abuse passenger rights
(still very weak anyway) and you dont know where to report these cases.

When one moves to another country there are often limitations in the rights people have. Many rights take
years or one's whole life to build up. Pensions, certain insurances (with companies), health insurance takes a

1818. Human rights - culture humanism (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 24)
Never lower the standards when it comes to human rights. The single characteristic unifying all Europeans is
the realization of the firm dignity and worth of all people based on the ability to determine right and wrong by
appealing to universal human qualities. Never accept lowering of these standards but continually raise them
and punish those who do share, respect and practice them, by isolation.
1819. Equality - nondiscrimination (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
The EU has been a leader in equality and non-discrimination and the brussels side has definitely led the
member state side. I give the EU the thumbs up here (even if much much more work needs to be done). I
hope this continues to remain at the heart of thigns that the EU does.

1821. ensuring the fully functioning of human rights (importance: 82%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 19)
Still, human rights remain a problematic issue in many candidate members of EU. As a citizen of turkey, here,
there are deep violations of human rights.Police force still remains as a dramatic societial problem, it is hard
to talk about free media which is an attack to right to access to information, freedom of speech is still far from
being achieved, gay and other marginal groups are subject to maltreatment or sometimes violence,hatred
towards minorities.That s why I think, EU should focus its energy on improving the enjoyment of human rights
ar broad sense.
1822. Promotion of democracy and human rights (importance: 82%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 16)
I think the EU could stimulate the development of democracy in other countries outside the EU. The EU is
the primary focal point of hope of most residents of the western Balkans. The EU should strive to modernize
society both within its own borders, and outside of them. It cannot be allowed that a member state like Poland
wants to enact a law banning gay people to exercise their profession as teachers. Only the EU is strong
enough to protect those people that are not protected by their own society.

1830. Regulate financial sector! (importance: 81%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 14)
The EU should work for a re-regulation of international finance. Today, the EU is all about neoliberalism. The
freedom of capital to roam freely around the globe: banks, hedge funds, private speculators of various kind,
should again be regulated. It destroys safety networks for people all over the world. The current financial crisis
is just the recent evidence of this. The freeing of capital in the 1970s has created undemocratic neoliberal
fundamentalism in the whole EU (as elsewhere). The EU should also work towards establishing a new global
reserve currency; some basket of several currencies perhaps. The dollar as a global reserve currency is very
unfortunate and creates huge inbalances.
Forcing member states to drastically reduce the bureaucracy burden on their citizens. No more than two
institutions should be able to levy taxes. The states should keep their complexity internally. The EU should
force them to simplify their interactions with their citizens

I know the EU is also a rather big generator of rules and regulations. You can make it less and maybe as a

mechanisms every time. There must be a way to do this without generating only more rules and regulations.
That would be useless.

For the present moment I see significant gaps and discrepnacies about the introduction of EU legislation in the
national level. On one hand theoreticaly it works, because all sufficient norms are adaptend in national level,
but it fails to work in enforcement level. For example, in non - food product safety. There are law in Latvia, but
government does not take care of allocation of financing for the product testing in the end there is a risk that
there are unsfe products placed not only in Latvian market but also in EU market.

The hungarian constitution states, that: all the power belongs to the ordinary people, to the nation. In reality
the people do not have any power, and the political parties uses this power, against the nation. So while all
media say that we, the people have power, we can record the misuse of power by government, by media,
by parlament, by poltitical elite, parties and representattives. There is useless to think about the renewal of
the syístem when even we are not asked what is our main problem, what is the main problem of the current

1842. Free economy VS regulation (importance: 80%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 6)
The Keynesian age has come to an end, since Reagan and Thatcher, which gave birth to a wild, speculative
global capitalism. Everyone knows capitalism produces wealth but I believe that, as an economic system, it is
not as good at producing equality. That happens because it has a distributive problem. I think the new wealth
of the nations is their population, and we should invest to make sure EU citizens will be more empowered,
more educated, more socially responsible and that only comes with better economic chances.

often accorded these groups protections in the workplace, dealings with state etc. However, I believe that
regardless of these laws, discrimination is still too widespread. The EU can help tackle this problem, not by
making new laws but, through information campaigns as to the effects discrimination has on the lives of those
affected, and to by explaining why it is wrong to discriminate aganist people on the grounds of race, gender,
religious beliefs/values and sexuality.
1856. Anti corruption (importance: 80%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 19)
A substantial amount of my taxes go into the EUrine, yet, over the past years, accountants have not been able
to sign off the EUrine accounts because of the way they have been drawn up to disguise blatent corruption
within the system. One could also include in this the obscene amounts paid into the EUrine Gravy Train
of perks for MEPs and EU Commissioners. If the current situation is allowed to continue, then the EU will
collapse under the weight of it's own incompetance.
1857. laws - regulations (importance: 80%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 7)
In my country, the legal system is dated, chalenges are more quick, more global and it is hard to keep up.

Right of the people to choose the name of the country without oppression from more powerfull state should
be guranteed in EU. People of Macedonia call their country Macedonia and I think that should be respected by
EU. But in contrast ,EU violate our right and impose change of our country name as precondition to enter EU.
If that is not against fundamental right to dignity of the person, than I don't know what is. I feel that injustice
toward a small county and its people it is only a beggining, as EU is growing more racist, intolerant day by
day. Small gesture of just decision and recognition of Macedonia asd Macedonia will show that EU is Union of
values and defender of human rights.
1864. Legal systems (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 10)

1868. Environmental and corporate regulation improvements needed (importance: 79%, disagreement:
21, evaluations: 8)
I strongly believe in personal liberty, but not when it negatively affects humanity as a whole. The two biggest
problems facing our species today (climate change and the financial crisis) are the direct result of selfish
people who don't care for the consequences of their actions. Please, more legislation is needed to restrict
the harmful and damaging activities that have lead to these interrelated crises. Ban incandescent bulbs, limit
plastic packaging, insulate all buildings phase in hydrogen fuel cells, nuclear power and renewable energies.
Ban tax havens, regulate hedge funds, prevent toxic debt from accumulating, cancel third world debt, and put
caps on how much any one person can earn.

1871. women's rights, climate change (importance: 79%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 8)
Women still earn much less than men (with equal qualifications in an equal position) and are subject to
domestic violence (and murder) and rape to a much higher degree than men. In many MS only about 5% of
all rape charges lead to a conviction, which then is often far too lenient. There are not enough women in high
positions in either government nor companies. However, women hold up half the sky, as the saying goes and
there continued harassment holds us up as societies and keeps us, the EU, from reaching its full potential.
Concerning climate change: It almost seems silly to have to elaborate. This threatens our common future. It
affects all of us and may destroy this earth completely. This problem cannot be tackled by one member state
alone, it requires by its very nature a EUROPEAN response.
The amount of corruption in the EU is enormous, it just creates resentment and a them and us situation

1873. As for Bosnia, more efficient and less corrupt governments (importance: 79%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 6)
Governments at all levels in Bosnia, are not really functioning, and are terribly corrupt and incompetent. They
don't care about their citizens, as long as they can steal without being punished and legal action taken against
them. Europe must find way to force them (because no other plan would work) to be more responsible and
act in accordance with their citizens. Also, better education system is essential, especially higher edcuation
(universities) which is terrible. Visa free travel is important. Brussels must lift visas for citizens of Bosnia,
because how can one expect citizens of Bosnia (regardless of their nationality and religion) to have European
perspective and mindset, when most of them (especially youth) never set foot in Europe... Overall, the EU
must work harder on integrating Bosnia (and the whole western Balkans), because it will lead to stability and
reforms in all sectors. And those reforms are badly needed in each and every sector and daily life too. If EU
doesn't recognize that, Bosnia might fail as a potential candidate country (for EU membership). I'm sure mr.
Barroso (and his associates) knows all this, but one has to repeat it, every once in a while, just to make sure...
1874. Lithuania is a state of lawlessness indeed. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 19)
My wife got a heavy concussion of brain after the car accident and she has not participated on the
hearing of crime case at the court. Lithuanian Court left her without the lawyer's help and any juridical
defence. My wife has not recieved the compensation for lost health . The hearing of the crime case Nr.
1-13-356/2008 carried out the 1-st court of Vilnius . The judges violated many lithuanian Laws , lithuanian
Constitution , european Convention on Human Rights and Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities too. I can explain this only by discrimination and corruption in lithuanian court. The health of
my wife every day is worst. I can't treat my wife for an illness because I left the good job and now I
have not money. We are european citizens . And we believe that the EU will be able to protec our Human
Rights. In Lithuania this is impossible, because here do not respect Human Rights and European Laws.

The all nations of Europe should know the truth about Lithuania.This is a state of lawlessness and
discrimination . The authorities of Lithuania do not perform the European Convention on the Human Rights.
1876. Privacy: Data Protection (importance: 79%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 16)
The EU can help the EU citizen in his/her daily life by putting in place safeguards and protections regarding
that citizen's private and personal data when they deal with public and private bodies. Consumers are
increasingly using the interent for banking, buying goods and sending mail, where they give very important
information about themselves. The EU must ensure that firms, governments have the necessary systems in
place that protects that information from unauthorised access.
in young EU members fught against corruption is more likly to declarative than practical
1878. Enormous public sector, corrupt and unsufficient (importance: 79%, disagreement: 21, evaluations:
14)
We have the biggest percentage of public servants in relation to our population. Most of them have been
employed from government officials, parliament members, members of the public administration. When one in
Greece knows someone in a high position, it's easier to find a job for his/her child and ensure a better future.
At the expense of everyone else! We have employees doing nothing all day long, waiting for their pension or
early retirement(!) and enormous lack of personel in areas that we do need people (hospitals). Furthermore,
in some "hotspots", public servants have been used to make their living on steeling from the state, wether that
is with bribes or actual steeling. We can't trust our taxing services because they will always find a way to take
money from citizens either at the form of a fine or a bribe so that you will avoid being fined! At the same time
noone controls how many of these people have enormous fortunes. We have laws but nobody dares to apply
them. to avoid the political cost.
1879. Corruption and problems with banking institutions. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 18)
The banking institutions misuse their powers and take advantage of the consumers that cannot react to any
possible raise of their interest payable on loans. Many houses are often seizured and saled under auction
even for a debt of only 500 euro.

1880. laws and legislations (importance: 78%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 11)
laws and legislations: I think there should be a president for Europe and more strickt Europeen laws so be
become more of a union. I feel that we don't make enough effort into uniting our countries. All the countries of
the EU have different standards and rules and assets. If we can try to take the best of each country, be can
we a lot stronger and united than we are now. I feel that in a way we are discriminating some countries, we
don't include everyone in the dicisions we make. Somethimes i think the EU is getting to big because there is
always a country who doesn't agree with a new law or agreement.
1881. EROSION OF BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS - NO PRIVACY (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 8)
evaluations: 8)
1. Bulgaria needs better laws to be passed. If there are less loops in them, less inconsistencies and better
alignment within legal texts, both judiciary and executive powers wouldn't be able to bend the law. No-one
would be able to make excuses for not obeying the rules. 2. Better rules mean less corruption but that wouldn't
be enough. People would need to change mentality, so NGOs and the government should promote resistence
and intolerance to corruption in any possible way. Non-governmental bodies should be more active on drawing
attention and exerting civil pressure when instances of legal inconsistencies/development are in a standstill.
3. Infrastructure would help Bulgaria's economy to develop better and promote the civil society development.
Achieving announced deadlines for finishing up infrastructure projects is something both municipal and
government bodies should put much greater effort into. 4. More programmes for raising environmental
awareness is needed as many people (officials) here allow business interests to ravage on nature. That is
irrevocably bound to the actions needed under 1. above. Strict policies for sustainable development should be
implemented and energy/nature preservation activites encouraged within the Bulgarian population itself.
1883. Services to persons using their free movement rights. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 10,

EU citizens using their right of free movement should really have a quick access to services (e.g. health
insurance) in the new country. In my case, I have been waiting for my health insurance for 9 weeks and my
case is treated together with French people having health insurance and waiting for changing their address in
the system. I think that changing an address is not the same as having access to the health system...

1885. Authority corruption (importance: 78%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 17)
Scandals, political favours ... the political mechanism in Greece has become so remote and superficial that
everything seems to get worse while no one cares or dares to act. Apathy is the worst thing and its all around
us. Laws are being breached every day and no one seems to bother, even politicians fail to give the right
examples and trust has been completely lost. Since the december riots in Athens more will coome and if we
fail to meet our dignity needs , we will have to face our worst fears!
1886. Corruption. Injustice. No "rule of law". No state. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 19, evaluations:
16)
Romania is a country lead by ex-communist structures that have not gave up power and control. Helped by
population reflexes "educated" in so many years of communism (such as bribing at ANY institutional level,
be it hospital, police or high governement officials, getting jobs by being related in one way or another with
the bosses or doing sexual favors), our current political regime mimes democracy and does not enforce it.
The citizens are allowed to talk, true, but after that nothing happens. The press wrote for years and years of
abuses, corruption, even murder (car accidents where people died, drove by Parliament member's wives, with
no legal repercursions). The system defends itself through a system of reciprocalities (we've got your balls and
you've got mine), just like the italian/russian mafia.
1887. costumers rights (importance: 78%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 11)

1888. EU should focus its efforts on ensuring human rights (importance: 78%, disagreement: 24,

Specifically, in Turkey and many other recent members and candidate members of EU, violation of human
rights remains almost the same. There should stricter enforcement by EU for the fully functioning of human
rights. If I talk about my country, in Turkey human rights are quite far from being achieved. Still, the police
tends to use force, still there are remarkable restrictions on the freedom of speech, pressures of free media,
torture and maltreatment for the prisoned,, hatred towards minorities, gays ,transexualls and to some extent
violent against them. EU shouls concentrate its energy to human rights issue for guaranting run of the
democracy.

1892. citizens rights, retail financial services (importance: 77%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 13)
The EU should do more to promote the liberty ands freedom aspect (citizen's right aspect) in the context of
JLS. Until now acquis has been focusing on the represive i.e security part (i,e Schengen, police co-operation,
etc.). Finally, what about enforcement of court decisions from otehr MS in civil matters. More European
governance is needed on economic issues, esspecially in times of crisis. Better co-ordination of economic
stimulus packages might create additional sinergies. As financial services and financial markets are
interconnected (at least this is true for the wholesale market), there might be a need for an all EU supervisor
for the big fianncial service providers. In other words the problems a financial service provider has with its
assets in one MS might cause liquidity problems of subsidiaries in other MS. Are national deposit insurance
shemes sufficent? Why is there no retail financial service market. Currently I can't ensure my car for civil
responsibility or kasko in another MS.
1893. Cut red tape! Less regulation! (importance: 77%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 26)
Abolish unnecessary EU regulation. Do not adopt EU regulation which contains unnecessary regulation for
citizens and companies.
1895. Eliminate bureaucracy! (importance: 77%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 8)
In Greece, government employees receive better treatment than other workers! That is not right, does not
apply the basic principle of equality and why should they enjoy greater benefits! Added to the fact that you go
to a government office and they may start working at 11am, after they have coffee, go shopping for personal
reasons and chit chat the morning away. If they feel like it, they will help you but if for some reason they do not
like your looks, dream on, service will not be provided. I am speaking from personal experience!
1896. measures against rising unemployment, protecting rights (importance: 77%, disagreement: 21,

The global economic crisis is a fact. We are going to face even tougher times. What are the measures you are
going to undertake in order to soothen the rising unemployment? How are you going to protects employee?
How are you going to prevent employers from misusing the economic crisis and get rid of employees?
1897. Corruption in office. (importance: 77%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 16)
We've seen enough of politicians caring for nothing but to increase their wealth and the wealth of their,
already, insanely rich friends. Economic inequality is increasing and this is largely due to people in office
obliging to large corporations' demands. Commissions is another major factor of money "bleeding" out of a
country's economy. In Greece, we've even seen the state purchasing yogurts at the price of 100,000 Euros
each! EU funds should be strictly monitored and week economies should be under constant inspection &
supervision.

Because I don't have the Belgian nationality, I don't have the right to vote on the Provincial level. However,
because I live in Belgium, I have lost that right in my country of origin too (the Netherlands). I feel like I'm

As I said before (having not enough characters to elaborate) the most important problem from my sight of view
is quickly to ameliorate The Bruxelles II bis with referring to the case of ABANDON of the family with sevral
CHILDREN and of 2 nationalities in the 3rd country (means different from their 2 nationalities), so that in this
case (abandon) - not "sejour habituel" is a joint for jurisdiction but these CHILDREN 2 NATIONALITIES is a
joint to choose the right for the interest of the CHILDREN jurisdiction. Always better is to refer to this country,
where is possibilities of their education, have a healthcare - the base. Why I speak about it? As Tribunal of
for me 3rd country, estimated its jurisdiction as a right jurisdiction basing on The Bruxelles IIbis and referring
to last "sejour habituel" (art. 3), and in the same time giving us alimony inadequate to even continue children
education -expensive, healthcare -expensive as abroad but the BASE - so erasing habitual stay, closing
our possibilities "to continue to live in this 3rd country" - but on the other hand anyway arguing its rights of
sticking us to its jurisdiction as based on "sejour habituel"- so an ABSURD. Mon opinion: Pour juridiction
en cas d’abandon joint séjour habituel est un absurde. Tant plus si un pays/Tribunal, utilise cet joint pour
argumenter sa juridiction et au même temps fait cette séjour impossible par l'incompréhension de la situation
de différentes cultures, que l'éducation, les soins mé

Stop the greek government corruption and help people live similar life to the west part of Europe. The greek
government loses 30% of its contribution each year, so they are not able to build new roads, streets, national
ways etc. Just check the disaster of Patra's avenues and the national high ways to Athens and Pyrgos, they
are terrible and many lives were lost on the roads. The second big problem is unemployment which verges

construction truly respects the opinion of Member State's citizens. Increase transparency, simplify procedures
and listen more. Take a slow approach in legislating processes. From the outside Brussels, EU looks like a

profit should be taxed with a given rate, with no option for deduction dismantle tax havens within the EU and
punish companies that trade with those outside.

Discrimination is a horrible thing. When it happens to you, you feel like the last person on earth: lonely

backgrounds, cultures and educations and types of discriminatory events happening to them, have felt
otherwise. I am a 1,56 metres woman weighting 45 kg - but if there s one thing I would go on the streets and
shout on the top of my lungs agains is war and dicrimination. You KNOW it just isn t right so WHY do it ?

1923. Do not over regulate (importance: 76%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 10)
The EU is fairly heavily regulated, and it would appear to be stifling business and growth in the E.U. I know
that the E.U. cannot change National Legislation in terms of Taxes etc. but perhaps they could encourage
governments (or offer guidelines) to review their financial regulations and redtape to ensure that Governments
are not stifling new and existing business and not to make the cost of employing people too prohibitive.
1924. responsabilization of corrupt and/or incompetent governing (importance: 76%, disagreement: 13,

Portugal seems to be, for the last few decades, ruled (at all levels) by corrupt or incompetent people. This is
visible at all levels of our society. I am tired to see bad (and stupid) decisions taken by the governing bodies
and, worst than that, the lack of responsabilization and punishing for those who should take good care of the
people. This is, of course, a result of corruption (low-level and high-level) and a culture of favours in polithics!
This is WRONG and it's a shame that nowadays some keep doing whatever it's best for THEM and not for ALL
OF US, and go unpunished. I guess this happens also in more EU countries so...someone should take care of
it. How much power and money does one need? How many people one powerfull person/company is allowed
to step over?? Do something about it - and I'm sorry for this one - if you (EU rulers) are really serious and
humane people.

evaluations: 14)
Internet, is since Mr. Gutenbergs innovation of the Printing Press, the greatest innovation in a ways we
poeple communicate and share information with each other. It's important that Internet should stay free
and not be controlled by anyone. You have suggested that Internet should be controlled. That is bad thing.
Controlling the flow of information kills our freedom and the creativity of our industries. Please reform our
copyrigt and patent legislation, like EDRI have suggested to you in this paper: http://www.edri.org/docs/edri_
copyright_consultation.pdf EU needs a broader review of copyright law. The Commission should examine
in depth all the current conflicts with competition, employment, environmental and consumer law. According
to the statement, an important failure of the current copyright regime is that many copyrighted works are not
available to the public, but locked in right holders' vaults. A possible solution for this problem is giving the
creator the right to reclaim the copyright from the publisher when a work has been unavailable to the public for
three years. The work should automatically become public domain after a further two years if the creator has
not exercised this right.

The EU should be more actively involved in equalising anti-discrimination laws troughout the union. Why are
homosexuals allowed to love and marry one-another in Holland, and not in Italy or Latvia? Why can't every
homosexual couple inside the union marry officially? Why doesn't the EU provide some form of recognition of
this contract between two individuals? If free transport of people and goods is already so easy, how can it be
so hard to socially open Europe more?

12)
Czech Republic is violating its own constitution by discriminating against Czech Americans in restitutions of
property stolen by Communists and in other benefits in which these people are also discriminated against. The
European Union is not trying to resolve this problem and is turning a blind eye because it incorporated article
no 295 into the Agreement about European Communities which proclaims that the EU will not interfere in
any property disputes in its member states. The same article appears as no. 345 in the Treaty of Lisbon. This
was another reason why the European Court for Human Rights refused the claim for the return of property
to Czech Americans and never ruled against the CR in property disputes. In this way the EU favors the past
and present unlawful and anti-Constitution stealing of private property. Jan Sammer, Secretary of Czech

Corruption in the public medicine services is an old problem in our country. I also experienced this, although
I rarely go for the doctor consultations, but when I need to, I find it a very big problem. May be it depends on
the doctor's competence, but I still cannot understand how a person who is responsible for my health for about
six years is unable to provide me with the neccessary and attentive medical consultation. I often feel insulted
or feel having wasted my time after the visits to my family doctor who seems is not concerned to consult
me without any extra payment. I am not sure about my doctor's position, but some more very similar cases
occured for me when beeing consulted by other doctors.

As an individual, I want to be sure that my basic safety is guaranteed by an honest police. As a taxpayer,
I want to be sure that my money is spent wisely, and not embezzeled or spent anyhow so that kickbacks
will finance political campaigns. As a future parent, I want my children to be able to trust their officials. As a
citizen, I want my country to be clean of corruption. But investigating the police, appointed or elected officials,
friends of politicians, and the way public contracts are awarded is a touchy issue. National governments are
too deeply involved in political games to be able to do it properly. Even if creating a fully European police is
impossible, tackling corruption should be in the hands of EU institutions.

1965. Lisbon Treaty, Laws, Regulations (importance: 73%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 12)
I voted no to the Lisbon Treaty not because of its impact on me, but because of its impact on the entire
500million plus EU citizens. It is an infringement of citizen's democratic right that a group of elitist bureaucrats
can "force" a treaty such as this to be implemented. I happen to agree with most of the proposals set out in the
treaty. The people of France and The Netherlands who had already overwhelmingly voted no to a constitution
which was 90% identical to Lisbon were ignored. Their democratic voice snuffed out because they voted the
wrong way and they want to bring europe in a different direction to the unelected millionaires of Brussels. The
pressure and threats Brussels has put on my country if we don't vote YES next time is propaganda and again
is there to coax and deceive the voter. The very fact that we may lose certain powers within Europe because
of our right to vote is disgusting. Brussels and other EU leaders are using fear tactics and the recession to
terrorise Irish voters to vote YES. I also feel that EU law making is getting over-powerful. National government
should make most laws maybe with the EU acting as an advisory or implementing regulations. The EU has
done many great things. A focus on the environment and the safe provision of essential services has been
enhanced in Ireland due to EU contribution. But, it is my feeling that the EU should remain a largely economic
body and should become less influential in day to day goings on in each coun
1966. Interstate commerce, basic human rights. (importance: 73%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 13)
I believe the EU's only mission should be regulating interstate commerce. Nothing else. How each state
decides to operate within it's borders should be it's own business, not that of its neighbors. I also believe
that the EU should consist only of thoroughly democratic countries that have respect for basic human rights.
Therefore the EU should monitor that very basic human rights are guaranteed to all citizens of its member
states. That's all. The EU should have no other rights or duties.

Blanket data retention constitutes a disproportional infringement on the privacy of EU citizens. Aside from that,
the first pillar is the wrong foundation, even if the ECJ has a different opinion. A third pillar based regulation
would be even worse however, since the democratic level of third pillar regulations is even lower than
those taken in the first. Abandon the pillar system ASAP and provide for proper (parliamentary) checks and
balances. Checks by the European Parliament are not enough, since EP members aren't close enough to the
general public.

1971. Rights of european citizens living outside their country (importance: 73%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 6)
Since 2007 I've lived between Berlin and my home city of Warsaw. As a freelancer (I'm a composer) I work
and live in Germany and in Poland and have to face the bureaucracy of both these members of the EU. Often
I have to go through the same bureaucratic process twice simply because the systems have not been properly
synchronized and there is no exchange of information between polish and german authorities. There are
probably millions of europeans facing the same problem. We want to have the same rights, wherever we live.
Why do I have to explain myself to the germen policeman, who asks me about the polish licence plates on my
car? Why can't there be - for example - one system of vehicle registration for the whole Europe? This, along
with opening the market of vehicle insurance, would make the life of Europeans easier, the market - more
integrated, and the national prejujdices - weaker. If nobody knew, which country You come from, the local
drivers wouldn't honk at You just because You are a stranger. And this is just one example. There is a lot
more of them. What about the right to participate in an election? Why can't a Pole living and paying his taxes
in Germany become a member of the german parliament? He commits to the society of his host country and
should be allowed to participate in its decision process. And not just on the local level. These are some ideas
drawn from my own and my friends' experience.

1978. Equal access to work within EU, high level corruption (importance: 72%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 15)
First and foremost, the EU should focus on determining the Romanian authorities to efficiently tackle high level
corruption cases, and to considerably increase the performances of a corrupt and highly inefficient, politically
controlled judiciary. It is a contradiction in itself that Romania being a country rotted by corruption has not had
a convicted official accused of corruption in 20 years. Public prosecutors continue to investigate selectively,
mainly opposition members while those in power are untouchable. The judiciary is shadowed by accusations
of corruption and incompetence while the judiciary control mechanisms are purely formal with no de facto
efficiency. Local cliques control local communities and the central authorities. The Romanians are losing
their hope, a fact that is evidenced by the extremely low turn in the last parliamentary election of only 29%. If
the EU wants to create a European identity, to make us feel truly Europeans, then it should be more actively
involved, within the limits of its powers of course, in order to ensure the respect for the rule of law in Romania,
and consequentially restore people’s trust in the statal institutions. Last, but not least, I would like to see an
increased openness of the EU companies in hiring trained Romanian professionals.

EU regulation is costing the UK perhaps £60 billion a year. This is causing massive economic damage.

Nobody should be forced to go on pension if healthy. Remove age limit. If forced to go on pension, but still
finds work, then the pensioner should not loose the pension because he has found some paid work. Pension
money is money taken out of ones pay throughout working life. We have worked for it. It should not be taken
away for any reason. Pension should be tax free. Tax should only be paid on moneys earnt.

a broad range of issues (from what to do when settling in, local taxes to pension trasferability etc); also online

1989. Legal harmonization (importance: 71%, disagreement: 7, evaluations: 9)
Barriers have been eliminated between member states, there is freedom of movement for working force, I
believe it is time now to place European law over national law, and not to expect each country to harmonize
their laws to directives. I believe that apart from me, many Europeans believe more in the EU parliament
than in their own country's parliament. I will be more than happy to cede a significant amount of national
independence to favor a pan-european government.
1990. Deregulatiouns, Privatizations, Nation State (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 9)
The whole Eu-Project is a rightwing project. The common man in the European countries, and "especially
those in the northen countries" don´t want the policy that EU stands for. We don´t want your Derugulations,
Privatizations and dissolution of the Nation States. The only way to maintaine a general welfare state is to
uphold a strong NationState. The European history shows many examples in that direction. The general
welfare state was born in Europe, in strong Nation States not in any international co-operation. The whole EU-
project is in the long run doomed to failure. Charlemagne, Napoleon and Hitler tried to unite Europe and they
all failed. There is nothing that indicates that "project -EU" will succeed any better. After have lost two world
wars Germany had to come up with a better plan to conquer Europe than with military power.The chance
came in 1989 with the fall of the Berlin wall. The German imperealism in co-operation with France and the
Netherlands cuickly took the initiative to expand the European Uninon and incorporate the other European
states into the Union. But they havent succeed to convince a majority of the people in the northen countries
the advantage of belonging to EU, nor will they. EU is barely more tolerated than the Soviet Union was for the
people in the former East-European countries. It is seen, and rightly so, as an intruder not as a liberator. No

1998. Freedom of regulation. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 9)
The EU produces a law or directive every 40 minutes. Many are appallingly drafted, the impact has not been
properly considered and being pan-European, makes no allowance for the difference between countries. The
impact of regulation in the UK is now put at £15-20 billion per year with huge amounts of time being wasted
on attempting to fulfill these regulations. Personally I would like to see Brussels downsized to 25%, and a
strict limit placed on the number of regulations issued each year. This might ensure that the regulations
are properly thought out, meaningful and do not, as in the case of the UK, impoverish its citizens. Since
the European dream is a vast bureaurocracy that knows everything about its its citizens, through modern
information systems, so that it can minutely regulate our lives, I doubt that this will happen.
1999. instruments / institutions that support employees rights (importance: 71%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 15)
The 40/48 hour working week is rarely if ever enforced. Most international firms ignore it completely. I know
of many cases where well known global names (Deloitte, PWC, EY etc) regularly flout this rule, expecting
their employees to work 11 hours a day. In a recession, when there are plenty of skilled unemployed people
to hire, and in an age when birthrate is falling in many countries because women cannot choose careers
AND children, it seems incredible that such firms are allowed to break the law and squeeze their employees,
body and soul, rather than being forced to hire more workers. Nevertheless, instead of punishing them, the
EU continues to award these firms lucrative contracts. As a former employee of one of these firms, who was
urged to work harder for greater rewards, and who was recently given a paycut when I was due a promotion
and pay rise, I can tell you that I had nowhere to turn to for support. When the firm regularly demanded a 55
hour working week from me, and I still had clients and colleagues calling me at home after hours, there was no
institution or organisation who would support me. If I had complained to the HR department, they would have
informed my manager, which would have meant bad relations in the office, or even dismissal. The EU needs
to stop rewarding such firms and start building institutions and organisations which regulate their activities and
enforce the 40-48 hour working week. It is a sensible law. Now, start to enforce it!

here in Greece and revolves around bribing and favoring friends over people who deserve opportunities. We
are constantly blackmailed by members of the state organization like the Taxing and building service people in
order to do your job or build a house. There is no real development and most of the times to get a European
development support you need to hand in as commission a percentage to the people in the state services so
they can process you application, dimming it impossible for you to go on and finish the planned development

Harmonization of certain
While the right of free movement of persons is enshined in the EC Treaty and there has been developments
to help EU citizens to realise that right through the ability to transfer social security rights/family members etc.
I believe Member States do not make it easy for EU citizens to excerise that freedom. Many member states
have either chaotic or overtly complicated national bureaucraties, that spill over into complicated/confusing
rules and procedures that must be completed in order to satisfy national registration requirments when moving
to another Member state to live/work. I think the European Commisison should get involved to make it easier
to for EU citizens to exercise this basic freedom of movement. The Commission could do this by helping
Member states to standardise procedures for EU citizens and making available the paperwork in one of the
EU's working languages(French, English, German) across all Member states. This however, does not go in
any way to prevent the newcomer to integrate into their new country, but it does significantly help them deal
with Member State bureacracy in a country that may not have a widely spoken national language. e.g. Poland
to offer paperwork in English/French/German to EU citizens who are dealing with freemovement of people

storing phone and datatraffic and giving companies the right to blackmail citizens is not compatible with the
EU or UN charter stating that we as a people have the right to privacy. We must be allowed to communicate
in private without someone watching over us, no matter if the communication is done face-to-face, in written
mail or electronically. For the same reason, the goverment should not try and limit what kind of information is
available to us. Blocking web-sites with uncomfortable content is not compatible with a free and open society.

they are of no surprise anymore to them. Therefore they do not even protest about them. Some of those
scandals have to do with funds given to Greece from the EU. It would be good if the EU would be able to
bring those involved in scandals, in front of a European court, which for sure would be more legitimate than
the corrupted Greek ones, and punish them.
2027. Why the authorities does not carry out the Human Rights? (importance: 67%, disagreement: 23,

2029. More responsiveness to the regulatory needs of SMI sectors (importance: 67%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 9)
Consumer communication on products (composition & origin labelling) is not a common feature in Europe.
Products of daily use by EU citizen such as leather articles are not subject to compulsory composition labelling
except for shoes and this does not favour a knowledge based economy. Communication through labelling
can empower EU citizen to become actors in supply and value chains. The EU leather sector requests a EU
labelling system for leather.
2030. EU needs to push internationally for complte rights for gays (importance: 67%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 12)
Europe has been a leader on the international stage in acknowledging the rights of homosexuals. In the recent
expansion of the EU , there has been a lack of insistence that the new members must respect in law and in
words the rights of homeosexuals as human beings and indivdual. With this in mind the EU should be a leader
and sponsor to force the united nations to pass a motion to decrimnalise homosexuality and to give equal
rights on par with every other citzen

2032. Too many laws, too much regulations. (importance: 67%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 5)
Our freedom in the soon-to-become EU (formally) will be greatly limited by too many laws and too much
regulations. It's not necessary. People don't need that. Please deregulate! 99.5% of all laws can be safely
deleted. life will be better for everyone.
2033. The Human Rights for all. Drive out Lithuania from the EU. (importance: 67%, disagreement: 30,

Lithuania has no right to be a member of the EU. The authorities of this state every day violate the Convention
on the Human Rights.
2034. Bureaucracy of Greek goverment (importance: 66%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 19)
The bureacracy to Greece is not targeting on helping the EU citizen but to create a not ''clear'' enviroment that
helps grow up the state corruption. In simple words... If you don't pay the right person to the Greek bureacracy
''machine'' you will never manage to do what you want to do and even maybe you find yourself occused for
things that you never did in case you dare to complain about the certain person.
2035. worry that the EU is wasting money and may be corrupt (importance: 66%, disagreement: 26,

2037. Better incomes, acceptance of gay rights, safety (importance: 66%, disagreement: 6, evaluations: 3)
Greeks must receive better salary than this. All prices go up, but the incomes seem always to be poor. As a
state Greece is the the most expensive one in many cases, but the salaries are always insufficient. Greece
must make the big step of acceptance of gay rights. Gay population is a group of people too. And people
are eligible for the same rights, regardless of sexual preferences. Greece must accept at least the civil rights
of gay people. The gay marriage seems to be so far for Greece yet. Safety and security. The government
must stop revoking conflicts between the police and the population. Obvious example: 6- ... December 2008,
Athens.

2040. minimizing EU bureaucracy (importance: 66%, disagreement: 43, evaluations: 6)
Some EU procedures require huge effort, filling in complicated forms, and take a long time to be completed.
This discourages people from using them. Perhaps some areas of competence in EU could be decentralized
in some way?
2042. Presence of too much regulations (importance: 65%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 8)
There is such a huge number of different regulations on all areas that there is no way to know them all. Thus
likely every business is breaking against something even if they try not to. This is obviously not a situation that
is helping in getting people to start new businesses.

2044. Enabling,stimulating lustration of communists. Supervision! (importance: 65%, disagreement: 5,
evaluations: 5)
The communists in our country are now positionned on ALL most important posts: President of Republic,
Prime minister, President of State's Ccouncil, President of Parliament, Mayor of our Capital Ljubljana, and
the most important: they are controlling nearly all former statal businesses, having become the richest people;
we name them tycoons. Having in hands huge amount of capital they are controlling 90% of mass media,
which manipulate public opinion, especially in the prelection period. So they fabricated, starting one year
before elections 08, the PATRIA affair which caused the loss of power of Mr. Janša. The other example, EU
being directly financially involved in, is the managing the EU-Projects in Ljubljana, where EU-Commission is
cofinancing a big proj. called Improvement of Ljubljana Drainage System. Instead of »This is the Contribution
to diminishing Social and Economic Differences among EU-citizens« as it is written on the construction
sites, the mismanagement of Mayor Janković and his staff contributes to anger and distrust against EU-
commission too. My proposal to Mr. Barroso is to control stronger the Implementation of Projects, cofinanced
by his Commission, to give us the adresses of his controllers to enable us to bring them on critical sites and
explain them all the problems. SUCH A MUTUAL COOPERATION WILL REALLY REALIZE «Contribution to
diminishing Social and Economic Differences among EU-citizens« and diminishing power of communists as
well!

2046. Stop discrimination of Old versus New member states (importance: 64%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 18)
What I mean is that the discrimination of new member states versus the old ones should be stopped. And
this should come from the leaders of EU countries. There is a clear division between old gentlemen club and
second class countries in the eve of G20 summit! The discrimination should be stopped in the EU Institutions,
which has been started with the Staff Regulations reform before new MS entered, which downgraded the new
employees of EU institutions.

2050. visas, fairness, discrimination, hope (importance: 64%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 10)
I am subject to unfair visa regime that threatens my privacy everytime I have to apply for a visa to go to an
EU country to visit my friends who live there (finished my masters in Spain) And even though the European
Court of Justice clearly stated that visas are illegal I see no attempts on the EU side to solve the injustice I am
subjected to. I see how the EU approaches the Turkey's membership and I think to myself.. well I guess the
fairness, and equality that is preached in EU applies only to white Christians. That in turn slowly but surely
destroys my belief in EU as an institution and consequently in sincerity of the ideals it upholds. Hope, I see
hope, because The European Court of Justice showed me that there are still people within the EU that uphold
rule-of-law and fairness above their short-term political benefits. That there are still people that believe in the
ideals that in the first place created the EU (well then called the Coal and Steel Union and so forth as you well
know!)
2051. Best possible regulation. And I have 35 characters left... (importance: 64%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 9)
Better regulation is not enough. The EU needs to achieve the best possible regulation. Only if the EU
becomes a good, solid and efficient regulator, it can become an area of social and economical wealthfare.
The financial crisis has again largely proved it. But also the so-called "fight" against terrorism and the
deterioration of citizen's rights all around the EU. And also the collapse of the European Constitution. And the
lack of importance given to the "Plan D" and the subsequent problems with the Lisbon Treaty and also the
fourthcoming degree of abstentions in the next elections. Why will there be so many abstentions? To me it
is clear, it is not only the fact that EU campaigning is national campaigning: the EU, the decisions taken (or
rather those not taken) are behind euroscepticism. It is also due to the still minor importance of the EP in the
legislative area and also because the European institutional environment is not sufficiently democratic. In this
same line, a lot of work needs to be undertaken in enlarging and visualising the rights of European citizens? A
lot of effort needs still to be undertaken so that the EU is not anymore a States community only, nor a market
community only, but a citizen's community first. Muito obrigado, Presidente. And my best regards.
2052. The regulation of commerce/industry (importance: 64%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 19)
The EU already seems to lead the way in many sectors, but it should do more. Member States are often
more keen to support business than to protect citizens. Particularly in developing a strategy for reestablishing
financial stability, it is essential to establish a strong, fair, EU-wide regulatory framework for the financial/
business sector.

2057. Poitical partys law, election law system are not democratic. (importance: 62%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 7)
I am sory but ı am not good at english. I will try to elaborate. İf you are a leader in a political party in Turkey,
you are a king. İf you want, until you dead you are chairman of the party. İf you do not win any off the election,
it is not importnat. Peopele can not manege to the political partys or partys chairman. But king of the political
party can manage and control the system. My people do not have democrasy culture. We no not have enough
non-govermantal organisations. Second most important subject is election Law system. Election law system is
not democratic. Pepople can not cull member of parliment. Because our kings (chairmans of the partys) culls
member of the parlimens or mayors of our citys. These two subject are the key of Turkey' s democrasy and to
be a member of EU. So I thing, EU should focus its energies these two subject.
2058. The gipsy peoples rights in the EU (importance: 62%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 6)
After Romania was initiatet as a member of the EU there has been more and more beggers in my home
town. Poor people come from Romanias countryside to become beggers in different EU countries capitals. I
do understand that they have the right to come, but their living conditions in this cold country are inhuman in
this cold country (especially during the winter). There are little what Finland (or Helsinki) by its own can do.
The change in living conditions should start from Romanias countryside. If these gipsy people would have
possibilities to stay and have essential living conditions in their own neighbourhood, they wouldn't need to go
and beg all around the EU.
2059. Legal recognition of same-sex couple's in the EU (importance: 62%, disagreement: 36, evaluations:

I really feel like a second class citizen in my home country. And its not like I haven't tried to change it. I have.
I have stepped up and said: I will help to change my society. But it is just so pointless with absolutely no
backing up from political level. I am glad that my friends in Belgium or Sweden can get married. And I hope
that one day I can. But I am sad that when my married friends come to Estonia - they are not a family in
the eye of the state. And this saddens me. We are all equal. Our marriages or civil partnerships should be
recognized all over EU. Protection of rights can't end with crossing a border within the EU.

evaluations: 16)
I am from Bulgaria and I want energy security. The gas crisis that happen this year should not happen again.
Please help us in the struggle to be a truly independent nation. Second thing is consumer should have the
right to chose what software is being installed on a new laptop or computer he is about to purchase. I bought a
laptop with a Microsoft OS. I have deleted it and put Linux instead. But the thing is that I've paid for something
I don't need. I and now I have a legal copy of windows for 100 dollars collecting dust in a drawer I rarely open.
Roaming. The mobile operators just squeeze their customers for money. I had a sim card from Globul, which a
Bulgarian operator 100 percent owned by Cosmote group. I went to Greece and the roaming option switched
me to Cosmote Greece and for 20 minutes talk my bill was 3 times more than normal. The same thing happen
when I went to Romania. They switched me to Cosmote Romania and again the roaming was very expensive.
I have been to another state yes, but this is actually the same network, is it not. The problem with stopped EU
funds was because corruption and main source of that corruption comes from the clerks that actually work
with this money. And the state clerks in Bulgaria a totally inexperienced with EU programs. Second things is
they usually have very low salaries. This is perfect environment for corruption. This is the problem I don't see a
solution. I hope that someone can think of one.
2063. Improve Immigration Policy and Minority Rights (importance: 62%, disagreement: 33, evaluations:
9)
As a dual US/Swedish citizen, I can't help but compare the two entities. In my opinion, one of the secrets of
American success is it's remarkable legal system which guarantees fundamental individual rights, and places
these rights above all others. Europe is particularly weak when it comes to the rights of immigrants and
minority groups living in the EU. The levels of discrimination - in housing, employment, education and daily life
- which I witness in the EU are a deep rot which undermines European society. The EU needs to strengthen
the EU Court of Human Rights, strengthen the rights of individuals, and improve the system of justice. As long
as people feel they have recourse to justice there is hope. And as long as there is hope, there is peace and
prosperity.

2064. EU Divorce Law not considering rights of CHILDREN (VICTIMS) (importance: 62%, disagreement:
1, evaluations: 2)
Different countries obviously have different divorce, ancillary relief and children law. The same set of facts may
produce very different outcomes depending upon which country’s law is applied to those facts. Choosing the
best jurisdiction, “forum” for a particular case is a very important decision. The Brussels II Convention doesn’t
include the case ABANDON. Le Code pénal français réprime par l'art. 357 l'abandon de famille, comme délit
sanctionné de peines correctionnelles d'emprisonnement (3 mois à 1 an) et d'amende (300F à 6000F). If
the family is ABANDONED – not séjour habituel doit être joint de juridiction, mais d'abord et premièrement
nationalité des ENFANTS. If I am (1st country) abandoned in the 3rd country with my three little children
by my husband (2d country) who is leaving me and little children going alone to 4th country - IT CANNOT,
MUSN'T BE jurisdiction based on sejour habituel but more appropriate: NATIONALITY OF THE CHILDREN.
No interest, goal, will - is to stay in 3rd country alone with little children if habitually we stayed there ONLY
FOR HUSBAND who now LEFT. So this country SHOULDN'T stick me and my children to be there by using
Brussels II Convention and joint for jurisdiction "sejour habituel". I don't agree. It is NOT in interest of my
CHILDREN. Goal: EU include ABANDON in 3rd country as a different case. "Sejour habituel" IF ABANDON

Rightly, there are calls for transparency of private sector lobby interests. Where is the same transparency
for the myriad of non-profit lobby groups, many of which receive taxpayers money from the European
Commission? Europe, societal and economic progression are being held to ransom by an unknown number
of activists whose real agenda is often hidden beneath the snazzy media campaigns that they unethically and
unscientifically use as a front.
2066. An economic crisis? or a regulations crisis? (importance: 61%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 11)
The over exposed economic crisis has come to be known as something that American financial institutions are
at fault for. Although this may be true, I believe that the roots of the problem ultimately lie in the people behind
the regulations that the banks have to abide by, politicians who are not strong enough to take tough decisions,
and administrations who are too proud to unite with other countries to secure a better future for their own
economies and of Europe overall.

Financial mess did a deep anarchy out of productive structures. All those MBAs that rule society are
«creatively» dismantling the life of people in countries across Europe. Financial mess is continuously distorting
people's life and their ability to survive, with the help of politicians and political institutions. Political closeness
is killing could-be Europe. Europe is not able to overcome divisions and private interests. As a citizen, I have
no future: everyday I have less freedom, I am more under the control of a headless system. Europe as a
hole says nothing to the world. It is true that the president of the US can now call Mr Europe, but Europe
depends on the states: not even an operating system, not to talk about iron or... Citizen's rights should be the
top priority of political agendas. But it isn't. Basic concepts like fairness compare individuals to corporations
and that is not true. Corporations don't grow good-will and use and abuse people, and are supported by the
governments. We are back to the middle ages: citizens are «included» in the property.

2076. EU must force Romanian leaders to respect the law (importance: 59%, disagreement: 39,

EU accepted Romania to be a part of Europe. And, since then, nothing changed in our country. I don't know
how the Europeans see the situation in Romania, what I can tell you that it's far from the reality. Everywhere
is corruption. There are some "image movements", but nothing is finalized. No big corruption case (the media
is full of corruption cases) is solved. Only talks, nothing happens. The justice is far from being independent
or not corrupted, I think only 20% of judges are clean. That's why (among other reasons) the Romanian
citizens choose to live in other European countries, more civilized, with more respect for the law. Please force
somehow our leaders to respect and to apply correctly the laws.

respect low regulation because of their inside control system. There is no control organizations in any field of
state. If there is some, but they can't function independently. These kind of organizations must be independt
from politicians for my country. During the discussions hope to put on table this subject. This matter will make
our life economicly better.. Thanks and kind regards. Celal Deliorman istanbul, Turkey 4.Kısım, O 170 Dai.5

The free flow of information is a fundamental issue in our democracy. However have the "inventor" of a written
piece the copyright to it from the moment it is created to 70 years after his or hers death. No one can use it
without the writers permission. On the contrast, an inventor who invents a very useful machine (like the sewing
machine if it was not already invented), can have his/hers idea protected only for a few years. It is considered
important that others can be able to do the machine after some reasonoble time. The protecting time of 5-10
years is fair. Both issues is the result of a persons creation capabilites. Both shall basically have the same

In my country, Greece, the regulations about housing and urban environment are not effective and everyone

in the road, the electrical cables are visible whenever we look the sky, everyone builds many-story houses
even in small cities covering the totality of his land leaving no room for parking, plants and sidewalks. It is not
probable that the Greek government will ever address these issues therefore I plead with the EU to make our

presidents (Czech Rep.) are very sceptical..... Let's all try to work together and show a unified front. I am NOT
talking ill of each nations sovereignty here!
2098. Society stability and integration (importance: 89%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 7)
Strengthen national and EU wide integration of the society, avoiding the traps of nationalism.
2099. The EU should be an economic cooperation. (importance: 89%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 7)
The EU should be an economic cooperation, not a political entity. Well, at least not to the inside, perhaps to
the outer world. But the EU having the power to force all kinds of laws on its members is antidemocratic. The
power moves away from the people to a level where we live in a Europe where for example Fins, Austrians
and Portugese have more to say about how things should happen in for example Belgium, Ireland or Italy.
Europe never was and never will be a single entity, Europe is diverse, a diversity we should cherish. A EU with
too much political power leads to a Europe where people can't live in the way they desire themselves. That
Europeans vote no on the so-called EU-bill is not per se a message they don't agree with it but a clear signal
that they don't want the EU as their supreme government. Most people don't even care about the European
elections anyways, most of the time they will just vote for the same parties they vote for in any other elections.
The growing power of the EU government will only cause more unrest and opposition against the EU and will
result in a rise of extreme right nationalist and populist parties because the current establishment fails these
people. In the old member states support for the EU is falling freely in all corners of society. The EU should be
reduced to an economic board and a gathering of national leaders and political figures to discuss certain items
but the EU should hold no real power whatsoever. Don't go where Hitler went.
2101. Freedom of movement (importance: 88%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
Normally, working in the whole EU should be no problem as we have a freedom of movement, paper based.
Facing reality there are are plenty of problems i could imagine to start to work in another part of europe. A
system that improve`s the freedom of movement like an EU-ID card or a possibilty or monitoring mechanism
that informs about specialities of other countires would be very helpful.
2102. The United States of Europe (importance: 88%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 4)
Are the USE the future of Europe and the EU and or are they only one of many options? And how can it be
done to create a feeling of European 'nationality' without suppressing peoples' identities?
2103. !!! A common social security and taxation system accross EU. (importance: 88%, disagreement:
15, evaluations: 8)
We can only be as strong as the the strength of the group we're representing. Easing trade etc between the
different nations is obviously an improvement over a few decades ago, however, due to inequality in taxation
and social security, different nations suffer unfair competition. Therefore, one system across all nations are - in
my humble opinion - required. Next to needing one army, one EU government ruling by one EU constitution,
etc... (let me know if I can help ;)))
Common market is working, but as not well as it should! Europe should focus on that.

2105. Secundary knowledge structure for a participative economy (importance: 88%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 6)
The primary knowledge structure: universities, government and corporate think tanks are not enough and
don't promote bottom-up activities. Using the power of the Internet, local communities can organize in
telecommunities and peace houses - ref. http://www.telecommunity.info with a combination of white collar
jobs and jobs for eco-farmers, lowly skilled people. In these telecommunity centers (or Peace Houses) people
obtain informal training, get support and can network in enriching ways.
2106. wage harmonization (importance: 87%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 11)
I remember from my university studies a whole chapter about "tax harmonization". The problem affecting our
daily lives is "wage harmonization". Minimum wage in Greece is round 600 euros. A person on that wage
literally cannot visit any other European country! The European Union has no future if its residents cannot get
together.
2107. international cooperation (importance: 87%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
give more support, on many ways and forms,to people, NGOs and governments who are in serious need for
help, such as food, money,education, health, etc. make sure the member states at least fill the condition of
spending 0.7% of their GDP to devcelopment cooperation
2108. The EU must communicate directly with the European citizens (importance: 87%, disagreement:
15, evaluations: 8)
The national governments put all the bad news on the count of the EC. On the contrary positive actions are
hardly explained. Only a direct communication can change that
2109. Stable and common economy (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 16)
Some countries must work harder to acheive at least a fraction of good beeing that others have. So let EU
promote and support all good activities, like infracstructurial projects, recreation, education in each and every
EU country..
2110. A common environmental programm (importance: 86%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 9)
A common environmental programm and fines to anyone who doesn't obay that. Enough with the garbage in
the streets. Recycling and energy saving should be mandatory!!!
2111. deeper integration (importance: 86%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 3)
2112. Brussels closer to the EU citizens (importance: 86%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 24)
Many EU citizens still don't have a clue what importance the EU policies have on their lives. Even though I
am in favor of the Lisbon Treaty, I wonder why the EU (the Commission and member states) didn't encourage
more public debate on all the good things the reform treaty will bring to the functioning of the EU. It should
also have used a tougher stance against the critics and nationalist parties in EU member states in order to
persuade people. I know the first attempt to get a EU Constitution Treaty failed, but I think one of the causes
why people were against it in the first place and why the Irish voted NO at the recent referendum of the reform
treaty is that they weren't informed enough about it. The campaign that the European Parliament launched for
the EU elections is a possible answer to bringing the EU policies closer to the people. Simple posters like that
in the EP campaign show alternatives and various options which have important messages that will get our
citizens to understand the importance of having a quasi-federal structure like the EU.
2113. Enhancement of the democratic participation (importance: 85%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 17)
i believe that a main issue that not only does affect me, but also all european people's lives, is the
enhancement of the democratic participation. I support that issue because it's the only way for the European
Union to gain the trust of every single european citizen. It's widely spread that E.U. has a lack of democratic
participation, that European Parliament doesn't have the power to solve european citizen's problems and that
Commission proves that E.U. is a union of governments. We have the historical chance to attest that E.U. is a
union of eupean people!
2114. Unity (importance: 85%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 7)
Steps should be taken to increase a sense of Unity among EU Member States. Tough economic times have
put a strain on European Solidarity, as Member States concern themselves with rebuilding their economies.
The EU should take steps to promote and encourage the existence of a dual sense of belonging in its citizens;
one stemmed in national pride, the other stemmed in European pride.

More and more Europe is a melting pot, full of different people coming form all parts of the World. The

2120. The Lisbon Treaty may be adopted due to the EU's enlargement (importance: 84%, disagreement:
I think the Lisbon should be adopted if the EU will be enlarged. Especilly due to EU's intitutions. The problem
is the more members of EU the more members of European Commission, the European Parliament nad
European Council. The more members of these institutions the worse decision making. Honestly, I don't
image the EU has for examle 30 members. This means fox example 30 members of European Commisssion.
Therefore the Lisbon Treaty should be ratified.
2121. Full integration of all EU nationalities (importance: 84%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 6)
There still seems to be a gap between West and Eastern Europe-we should be focusing on developing
people's perceptions of the new member states, particularly in schools.
2122. Freedom of movement (Article 45 of the Charter of rights) (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16,

Here in the UK our freedom of movement is being erroded day by day, by the government. Why should we
have to have a passport to travel into Europe, when other countries citizens do not have to.
2123. Mobility within the European Higher Education Area [EHEA] (importance: 84%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 14)
There can be no "leading knowledge-based economy" [as proclaimed in the Lisbon Agenda] without
necessary competition and exchange.
2124. mobility (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 15)
We must be mobile, and make use of the falling boundaries between the different countries. international
students should be the majority in every EU university. Workers from other EU countries must be at least a
certain percentage of the workforce of every company.

2130. Lisbon Treaty / Future of the EU (importance: 83%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 12)
The Member States, the Parliament and the EC should discuss more openly what they think the EU should
look like. What powers it should have, how institutions should work, what its Members should be. The Lisbon
Treaty or any other concept of the future of the EU is too important to be subject of bargains in European
Councils.
2132. Education and social integration (importance: 83%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 12)
Nowadays I see in my country, educational problems arising in schools, not only in the matter of curricular
success, but also in social interaction. I see children ill-fed going to school, showing that their parents don't
feed them right, I see bullying increasing and violent crimes happening inside school grounds. I believe that
EU should have an stronger grasp of educational issues all over Europe, since education is the basis of all
societies. I believe that most social misbehaves are directly related to one's background and education. When
parents have bad educations, they will also be bad parents and react in a wrong manner when dealing with
his children issues. Bad behavior and bad social interaction are passed from generation to generation. Best

2133. Mobility,University,Politic (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 10)
European Union should invest more resourses in the mobility. travelling or making a job experience in another
country is a fondamental thing for creating more possibilities for all the Europeans citizens. So I'd suggest to
elaborate policies for reducing mobility cost, creating a European job list, becoming obbligatory an experience
in another UE country. (could help the creation of a european voluntary civil corp?In Italy we have) About
university:IT'S TIME TO HAVE THE SAME ACCADEMIC COURSES AND EXAMS to permit to students to
have immedially the opportunity to work in an other Ue country with a recognized degree. Also is IMPORTANT
TO USE ENGLISH FOR EVERY UNIVERSITY OF UE!! (I'm Italian and 'm trying to write in English...i hope
this is becoming normal in the next future). We hope to vote OUR EUROPEAN PRESIDENT,it could give to all
European the sense of unity and this fact will give more democracy to the Eu! Thanks, Marco Carbini
2134. Information & Communication Technologies (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 20)
If the EU would realize full connectivity of its citizens through digital means, it would feel much more like a big
family: all citizens would be able to share information with one another at any time, in any place.
I think EU needs to improve communication in order to improve mobility and securyt, which will bring more
economic growth

Young people such as myself, recently graduated, ought to have easier access to higher education in the EU
and/or first jobs at home and abroad. Information about how to move abroad, find work, a place to live, and
find funding, scholarships or awards is also very fragmented and under publicised. If I wanted to move aborad
or go into higher education abroad, I would not know where to start looking. There ought to be EU agencies
operating in every major EU country offerring specialised advice on where to move, how to find work, study
and funding from the EU. I knwo there are alot of funds available but they never seem to reach those who
need it, only a select few.

As a student and employee, I would like to have more possibility to travel freely to the EU. The cultural

a value and imperative for the future to come!

special interest group in Ireland and well we all saw what happened. What can I say. The EU relied on the
main Irish political parties to debate the treaty. Given the complexity of the document that was quite simply a
mistake. Simplify the document. Explain the function, intent and benefits of the treaty. Describe a rational
system of veto for all member states. Don't leave this up to the local teachers, developers and publicans (aka

The EU can not work as a huge assembly of random countries with no aim. What needs to be done is that
at some point those with a committment to the EU will have to be let to go ahead and those not committed
should no longer be allowed to block everyone else. A 2-gear EU is a necessary step forward now that we
are 27 members and still clueless on how to run ourselves. Let the committed ones go ahead. Organise a
big referendum where people will vote on which gear they want their country to switch. Make sure people
understand that either choice will have a tremendous impact on their lives. Unlike the constitution vote where
NO means no change and YES means a whole new era of experimenting. This will be the day that will change
Europe more than any other after the fall of the wall.

I find it unaccepable that the EU is actully talking about blue card and third-country nationals getting equal

haven't been fully lifted. I agree with arguments taling about demographic changes and ageing of population,
global economy etc. Nevertheless, I strongly believe the discussion should first focus on workers from new
Member States.

2159. Science, technology, social integration (importance: 81%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 11)
Science and technology have improved our daily lives by a very large amount. Further improvement of this
kind relies on funding for science and a creation of centres of excellence. In comparison with the American
universities, our best universities suffer from the lack of funding and endowment. This could be remedied
by creating a fund giving certain universities, deemed best according to a set of criteria, very large sums of
money. Such policy has a potential to attract the very best minds to the universities thus chosen and would in
this way significantly improve the European scientific landscape. Social integration: Here what I have in mind
is a social integration on the European scale. To this end I would propose implementing a form of the Swedish
education system in other EU countries. In particular, I would copy their use of English in the schools. English
could play the same role in Europe as Mandarin plays in China, it could be the language that binds us together
and our various accents would make us European. Such policy would go a long way to reinforce the European
identity.

Dear sir Barosso, Please harmonize the social security schemes in a broad sense. By this I mean creating
the opportunity for the young European generation to make use of the free movement of persons by more
easily to travel/migrate to other Member States to work and establish. With a harmonized European social
security scheme in general and pension and insurance rights specificaly the true free movement of persons for
the next generation will be created and the European integration will be realized. Also the European identity
through a true European citizenship will be achieved in the future where perhaps the next generation would
not feel affraid to vote in favor of an European Constitution since next generation will have the feeling that they
are European citizens and not merely the citizen of one single Member State and being scared about other
European cultures and states. This is much more important to finaly realize the true internal market which
has been only written on paper for decates now. And this is more relevant then just further enlarging Europe
without solving the current problems. Your sincerely, Ambrogino G. Awesta

2164. Communication about knowlegde in all it's aspects (importance: 80%, disagreement: 16,

I'm convinced of the fact that a lack of knowledge is the basics for stereotypes and discrimination. In order
to create a better mutual understanding, a good communication of eachothers way of thinking about religion,
politics, economics, history, the whole range of social issues, healthcare, enviroment and the mutual influence
on these previous mentioned aspects are utterly important. However, people all over the world are humans,
meaning that the freedom in their way of thinking and their unique character must be guaranteed. The thin
line between guiding EU citenzens in stimulating good communication in order and respecting their differences
is without a doubt the biggest change the EU faces these days and for many years to come.

At the moment, as one fellow citizen said, we are just an economic entity. To teh greater population of the EU,
being a part of teh EU means little more than using the same currency. We ought to strive for more. There is
no sense of belonging, no sense of proudness in being a citizen of the EU, because the EU does not reach
us directly. We feel little of the work it does. There ought to be pan-european referendums, where we all felt
we were voting and contributing to a change for all, not just nationally. IN the UNites States people say there
are American and feel proud but are also proud to say there are from Texas, North Carolina, San Francisco
or Washington. None of us say we are European, my mother is from Portugal and my father from Italy. I am
Portuguese/Italian but I am also European. One thing does not negate the other and people need to know that
they can be patriotic to their country and consider themselves Europeans also.
2170. Labour Mobility. (importance: 80%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 14)
The EU can help the ordinarly EU citizen by streamlining the bureacracy and social security entitlements of
EU citizens who wish to exericise their Treaty rights of free movement. The EU can do this by a creating
a standard system for transfering social welfare entitlements and easing or standardising the level of
bureaucracy in the new member state. I would propose that all member states provide official documents in
the 3 working languages of the Eu: french, english and german. These lnaguages are widely spoken and can
act as a medium to interface with member state bureacracies.

The Bologne Treaty needs to be fully accepted and implemented across EU. The same goes for work as there
are still a lot of bodies restricting free mobility of workers within EU (e.g. Accountancy bodies or Air pilots).
This means that countries tend to protect certain professions within its borders. It will be impossible to have
a completely free movement of students and workers until we ascertain a main language for the EU. Even
tough, I can go to study/work in Germany (me not being a German citizen) the language will always be the
main barrier. The EU needs to have an official language in order to progress.

huge gap between the EU institutions and its citizens, even in brussels where I live! the EU starts to improve
its communication but not in the good way. EU is sexy and it must be said, there is a need for more events
close to the citizens and not only for the 9th of may. i wont develop here all my thoughts but it would be a

2174. Communication on the European Union (importance: 80%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 14)
Make it more visible to European citizens what the Unino is doing for them; increase the use of already known
symbols like the European flag and the European anthem and in such a way that these symbols become
part of one's cultural and intellectual property; support the creation of a yearly recurring EU-wide mandatory
Bank Holiday on 9 May, with in the evening spectacular fireworks in the major cities of the Union; Subvention
education systems in teaching the symbols of Europe; have systematically played the European anthem at
each major sportive event (e.g. football matches for the Champions League and amongst national countries);
Issue recurring clear non complicated information of what has already been achieved in Europe, including
assumingly obsolete thems like lasting peace, sufficient high quality nutrition, economic welfare with a sound
unique currency and free movement of persons and goods; do not fear this being qualified as propaganda: if
the message is good it will sell itself, whatever may be observed about it; better coordinate the communication
channels used by the Member States in order to prevail the justly deserved positive image of Europe with
the citizens; set immediatelty and widely communicated straight whatever incorrect information is being
spread about the EU and its Institutions; Better involve, at communication, persons who are not only good
communicators and/or professionals but who are, on top of that, genuinely convinced in the EU project.
Europe should act united and decisive as one and less as 27 states with their own personal agenda's.
Transfering more power to the European Union seems like the only way to accomplish that. European
elections are a great way to involve citizens with the role of the EU. People should feel that it benefits
themselve to be united, not by deceptive words, but by real measures.

There are many things in society that can and will be changed for the better, but few of these matter when the
fundamental human right of personal integrity is set aside for the sake of profit and interests of corporations,
that have no other agenda than filling their own coffers with more and more money. Yes, money is important
for the running of society and companies alike, but these monetary interests can never trumph the interests of
the citizens of the European Union and it's member states. Unfortunately, integrity and privacy are continually
put at risk when private corporations lobby their money-making agendas that can and will invade the privacy of
the individual citizen. The right to make a profit should never, ever be more important than the right to share
information without fear of being investigated, monitored or brought to court to satisfy corporate interests.
When private companies influence what laws and bills are passed, we are going down a slippery slope indeed
- and when individual citizens are prosecuted because their beliefs and ideologies do not match these private
companies, we are indeed descending into plutocracy.

So far europe was build on numerous enlargment, which is positive. Nevertheless, my opinion is that now
we need stronger institutions. We shall give more executive power to the commission and the parlement. For
instance, european's election that occur in June 2009, are not at the center of any debate in any country !!!
Which I don ' t understand. Furthermore, what the point of going wider if the integration is less deeper?? I
understand economic and politic priority that forces the members to think about integrate turkey, ukraine...But
so far nothing is done withing the Union about fiscal policy, foreign policy, european companies...Which is a

make sure that employers make suitability, effectiveness and efficiency and not nationality the main criteria

it easier for mixed nationality couples to both acquire jobs in another country (at the moment mobility is

2184. Youth participation in civil society and politics. (importance: 80%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 8)
There is a growing disinterest in politics from young people (age 16-30) in almost every European country. If
the leading generations of today fail to include the big masses of young people in both political life and civil
society the result will be a divided society in ten-twenty-thirty years. As an active youth it's demotivating
to see how little the "normal" youth cares about the big issues of our time. The EU has a lot of good
programmes for young students and school pupils, but is not good enough to promote the opportunities in
Europe to the "big masses" of young people. For me this simply means that the EU needs to change its way
of promoting both student exchanges, cultural exchanges and youth participation programmes. Often these
programmes looks more as EU-marketing, than promotion of the great opportunities for the participants.

2187. better communication (importance: 79%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 10)
I guess it is highly important that the EU focusses on what really matters! The EU needs also a better
communication towards the citizens because these days the local politicians blame the EU for the regulations
the citizens maybe don't like, but they say that new rules which the citizens like are theres, even when it
comes from the EU.

2188. The EU should focus more on the needs of the common people. (importance: 79%, disagreement:
Unfortunately there is a tendency in some parts of the EU administration that tend to lose touch with the
"common people", the same people that vote for these representatives. There is also another fact that has
to be considered, that is, in Europe unemployement is increasing daily, thus making it hard for the people to
make ends meet. Nowadays I see a lot of beggars in Antwerp, obviously the same thing can be seen in other
towns. Only those that use the ostrich politics do not see this. There seems to be a lack of urgency to help or
even a sign of compassion towards these unfortunate people. It seems that they do not count because they
do not or cannot or may not vote. Is it not a good thing to help the poorest in our communities? The economy
crisis is being used as an excuse to sack people, bosses are misusing their power against their workers.
CEOs are benefitting from this situation and are getting bonusses that where never dreamed of here in
Europe! It seems that we are becoming like the USA in the Bush era, remember the Enron scandal? Here we
have the banks!! It is Easter weekend and the banks are closed for four days. Well after all they deserve the
long weekend, or do they?
2189. More Mobility (importance: 79%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 15)
Less Bureaucracy when trying to move between countries. We are already well ahead in many things there
needs to be more mobility, and less bureucratic barriers.
2190. highlight common among European citizens (importance: 79%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 5)
I believe that the efforts of European institutions to focus on highlighting common among European citizens
because if the citizens feel more European, then the EU will achieve its goal.
2191. EU citizen participation (importance: 79%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 6)
Dear Mr. President. The EU's founding fathers had a broad understanding of the europe they hoped would
come to be after 1945, and wasn't solely an economic union, nor was it abdication from national heritages.
We seem to have forgotten their ideals, but haven't substitued them with other ideals (I'm not judging whether
positve or negatives). Europe without ideals; with little respect for instutions and with institutions' even lesser
respect for its citizens and especially indivduals, we are close to a divide that may make or break europe
because of indifference and of indifferent eurocrats. Europe needs to be representtive of its members, through
the rule of law and msjority vote. Insitutional issues should need qualified majorities; eu council needs to be
elected by europeans, not by national governments. Institutions can have a strong impact on individuals' lives
and ambitions, but they can become irrelevant to if they aren't understood. We all need to take daily courses
on Europe - even those who believed in it from its earliest days, because we tend to take things for granted
when we have them; its too late to cry when they are no longer with us. Remember, Mr. President, liberty,
freedom, the right to dissent and equal opportunity are not 'givens'. We have to cultivate them day after day in
order to keep these unalienable rights alive. With respect, Serge Lewithin, Switzerland
2192. Energy Security - make energy a common European policy (importance: 79%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 10)
Although there exists already activity from the side of the European Union in the energy sector, still the
member states of the European Union have the biggest say concerning their energy policy. Following the
principle of subsidiarity, a policy should be dealt with at the level at which it can be pursued most efficient -
for the energy sector this has changed in the last years to become the European level. Both with regard to
diversification of energy supplies, environmentally-friendly energy and energy-saving, as well as from the
perspective of energy providers - Russia, OPEC, the Middle East Europe is the most efficient level, and only
a common European Policy can be succesful: 1) With regard to environmental aspects Europe has always
had a strong stance. This clearly makes sense; because rivers or clouds do not stop at borders. This policy is
easiest to explain to citizens as the positive aspect of a European policy here becomes visible at once. Also
concerning energy strong environmental effects are involved. A more environmentally-friendly energy policy
in one member state still may be contradicted by a less environmentally one in another state, taking away
positive effects. 2) Europe as a whole has much more bargaining power vis-à-vis other states than individual
member states could have. Therefore the Commission should negotiate for the side of the EU with energy
providers. This would give Europe a more unified voice!
2193. Common response to security and other foreign threats (importance: 79%, disagreement: 8,

Strong, forceful stance when it comes to direct threats to its members is absolutely essential in justifying EU

None of the EU countries can compete to the superpowers such as the USA, China, Russia. Therefore
European countries should agree on one foreign policy in order to better protect interests of the EU citizens at
the international community. Especially for the small EU countries it is nonsense to have own foreign policy.
2197. Common policy on immigration (importance: 79%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 8)

2200. communicating EU better to the citizens (importance: 78%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 15)
This is crucial with the approaching EP elections and the alarmingly low percentage of Europeans who bother
to vote. It is a serious threat to democracy and to the legitimacy of the EU.
2201. Facilitation of free movement of employees (importance: 78%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 10)
I think that the EU should concentrate in reducing the hurdles as well as the administration of movement
to work between the member states (in all respects as social insurance, recognition of diplomas etc.). In
my opinion there are still a lot of hurdles that hinder free movement of labour between the member states.
Moreover, I think that the movement of labour both among the member states as well as within the member
states shall be promoted and supported by measures on european level. Interconnected with this area are
also measures that would facilitate integration of the migrated labour in the receiving memebr states.
2202. EU-wide labour mobility for member state visa holders. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 9)
I am a young American citizen married to a German but since my freedom of movement is limited to the
member state where my husband works, I can only seek jobs in Germany. Highly qualified couples, however,
increasingly work in different cities within Europe and commute on the weekends, thanks to low cost airlines.
The current visa rule assumes I work in the same member state where my husband works, which limits my
career options more than EU spouses. Unfortunately, due to the common market, certain jobs no longer are
available in certain member states because these industries have naturally moved to those locations within
the EU with the best factor endowment for their production needs. This means that I can't find a job which
meets my qualifications in Germany but can't move like an EU citizen to the EU member state where the jobs
are are without my husband. Changing this rule and allowing EU-wide labor mobility (at least for spousal
visas) would adapt the Common Market to the new ways couples are using labor mobility rules and ensure
that foreign spouses aren't disadvantaged.

2206. Harmonization of social policies (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 8)
As you know, EU is already a well defined economic community, yet, as a political community, much has to be
done in order to have true harmonization. For instance, welfare programs are completely different. To achieve
this, I believe we have to look at the best examples inside the community, like the Scandinavian countries, and
try to level up the others.
2207. Common European foreign policy (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 16)
2208. Services to persons using their free movement rights. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 10)
EU citizens using their right of free movement should really have a quick access to services (e.g. health
insurance) in the new country. In my case, I have been waiting for my health insurance for 9 weeks and my
case is treated together with French people having health insurance and waiting for changing their address in
the system. I think that changing an address is not the same as having access to the health system...
2209. Integration and standardisation (importance: 78%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 9)
Means to an end. To make us all europeans first and members of a member state second. Introduce a
European passport. Also goes for a lot of products based on/in the different nations or states but with common
standards the market gets so much larger. Work for worldwide standards as well. An integrated world is a must
if we want world peace.
2210. I want a common health, retirement, insurance policy (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 11)
I want to be able to have all european citizens treated equally for pensions, labour rights, insurance, medical
benefits and it should not be a least common denominator.
2211. cross-border employment (importance: 78%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 9)
simplifying employment in other EU countries, with a prospect to be hired without local language but with
opportunity to study it; wider recognition of foreign work experience and qualifications
2213. The Common Agricultural Policy (importance: 78%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 10)
The EU and especially DG Agriculture can help the ordinary citizen by making the CAP better and fairer
and with a stronger focus on food safety, environment and its affects on developing countries. The Farm
Commissioner has made great reforms last year in the CAP healthcheck, but like always, she came up
aganist strong opposition by the Member States, who are often overly influenced by strong farm lobbys,
which represent the large landowners, agri-businesses. The EU can help by ensuring that Member States's
Department of Agriculture provide CAP payments information clearly and as required by EU transparency
laws. There are small NGOs such as Farm Subsidy which have been monitoring the extent and nature to
which Member states have released the CAP information and many country's efforts have been minimal and
complex. Ireland for example has published the information, but it is hard to access and when you access it,
it is not in a single downloadable format. The Citizen would be greatly assisted if such information was more
easily available, especially since the CAP takes about half of the EU budget.

2215. Why EU citizens don't participate in european elections? (importance: 77%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 7)
In my opinion, the main root for this phenomenon is the ignorance which they have the european citizens
about European Union. I suppose that many european citizen don't know how the EU functions. Maybe, they
don't know the important role of european parliament. I think that EU should communicate with us, not only
every 5 years but every day. First of all, the european people should learn for european institutions from the
school age. Futhermore, visits in the main bodies of EU, is an another way to contact with european citizens.
Finally, the citizens of EU should be informed for their rights inside EU and especially for the freedom of
movement.
2216. Enforcing Common values (importance: 77%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 15)
Europe is a community of values. With more member states our coherence is a challenge. We need to do
more to remember our common values.

2217. Application of common laws in all European countries (importance: 77%, disagreement: 26,

There should be common laws in all European countries and be applied!!! In areas like labour - maternal
benefits, salaries, pensions-, education-recognized diplomas from eu countries. For example in Greece there
are many european laws that are not being applied.
2218. Complete the system reform and harmonize country practices (importance: 77%, disagreement:
21, evaluations: 7)
Challenge and assist new member countries with system reforms such as completion of the health system
reforms, fair and enforcable tax systems. Provide modern and relevant regulatory framework, which also aims
harmonization over time. Establish funding and development programs, which also provide follow through
and supervision of the results, to reform public sector: such as public transport, public eductation support
the advanced use of IT in public administration towards citizens for example in Hungary. Provide sense of
belonging to larger community and highlight the advantages of being a European citizen through educative,
informational 'adds' via TV and internet.
2219. Participatory democracy (importance: 77%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 18)
1) Politicians meet face-to-face cross-border. Very good! 2) Business people meet face-to-face cross border.
Very good! 3) Citizens? What about them? Very bad! .. well, we do meet. We have NGOs in Europe, but
to be honest something is missing here. We need to be much more ambitious. We need a "democratic
infrastructure" which will facilitate face-to-face meetings and co-operation between thousands, and thousands
of citizens. Otherwise we will not succeed in taking the European project to the next level and the whole thing
will be history within 25 years. (Still, we will have something that we call the EU, but it will be an empty shell).
2220. Economy and common actions. (importance: 77%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 11)
One must have his "belly full", in order to think about other issues as ecology, constitution etc. Another think
that bothers me, is that there is no sence of comunity in the countries of the E.U. Everybody thinks and acts

i mean) and also the other way around.

2225. Mobility of workers and social issues (importance: 76%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
Although the job market is becoming more and more European, there still persist national security systems
which are very different from one another. I do not know whether it is necessary to change these, and I do not
know whether this should be done, but still it is difficult to move from country to country with regard to -health
insurance - although the system has been facilitated it is still in many cases more expensive to get health
services in another country -pensions - it is for many people unclear whether they can transfer their pension
funds from one country to another - unemployment - what happens if you move to a country that doesn't have
an unemployment insurance, but you paid into the fund in a country you previously worked in? - maternity -
here attempts are made to harmonize systems, but still, which systems count in which case remains unclear
Thus for the most part what is needed here is transparence. It would be an idea to step up the advise of
EURES and to give out a brochure on those issues as well as to more actively contact "transnational workers",
for example to hint to employers to supply brochures on those topics by EURES. This would be a contribution
for a part of the population for whom Europe is most visible.
2226. Communicating better the benefits of EU enlargement to citiz (importance: 76%, disagreement: 14,

People of Europe have lost conception of the historic importance of EU as a peace-keeping and stability
creating power that must be expanded to a wider area in Europe for increased wellbeing for all. it is very
important that the commission focuses its efforts on promoting benefits of enlargement and tackling
xenophobia for economic growth and a better functioning internal market with less national protectionism

2231. Reforming the Common Agricultural Policy (importance: 76%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 22)
The EU's agricultural policy (the CAP) is barbaric. It props up an industry in decline and prevents the countries
which receive the subsidies from innovating into more productive industries. Not only is it wasteful, it reduces
the EU's ability to compete on a global scale. The EU should be funding the strong technology and specialist
sectors which exist in almost all of the countries within the EU, not attempting to score political points by
giving subsidies to undeserved farmers. More importantly however, the CAP marginalises developing nations'
agricultural industries by preventing them from competing on price with their wealthier (subsidised) EU
competitors. Because of this, developing nation farmers are forced into growing products, like cocaine, which
the EU farmers do not grow. In this way, the CAP indirectly helps fuel the drug cartels which cause the EU and
its citizens so many problems. It is wasteful and, most of all, dangerous.
2232. Integration, unity (importance: 76%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 12)
Europe is divided. Between "Old" and "New" countries. Between north and south. There is too little agreement
on key issues. My feeling is that this union won't last long keeping it that way.
2233. Immigration and integration (importance: 76%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 13)
There are many immigrants living in Europe. Their integration is a real challenge. This is especially the case
with young people who cannot burst out from the category "immigrant" and they rarely have the possibility to
go higher on the social ladder. I beleive that - in the framework of its competences - the EU should do even
more to work on the integration of population with foreign origins.
2234. Common foreign policy (importance: 76%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 12)
Though it is clear that different EU countries have in foreign policy their own priorities, it still should be a
common one. Terrorism, peacekeeping, illegal immigration, world economical recession etc are issues to
be addressed not only on the national level but EU as a world leader should have in these issues a definite
common opinion based on the democratic values EU shares.

people who are voting a law are never concerned themselves of it as they belong to a privilegied class. it's a
bit like in society system of india with the untouchables...then, the people who ARE concerned are not very

2237. To foster all sorts of exchanges between Europeans (importance: 76%, disagreement: 33,

There should be more exchanges between European schools. A 18-years old European should already have
visited two European countries. At the university level all sorts of exchanges are already fostered but it should
be made easier to decide to study in another European country from the start. The teaching of languages
should be better in many countries, notably in France.

2242. Further European Integration (importance: 76%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 6)
2243. mobility of EU citizens within member states (importance: 76%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 4)
EU should work on developing procedures, laws, programs, etc. that would facilitate moving inside EU in
connection with changing job and residence, especially for short periods of time. Each country has its own
specific (bureaucratic) regulations that are often impenetrable and discouraging for foreigners who want to
move to work there. These regulations vary from state to state and the institutions responsible for helping
foreigners are not always well prepared to do their job. There should be more synchronization and uniformity
of procedures between the states.
2244. integration (importance: 75%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 9)

2249. Communication and intra community movement (importance: 75%, disagreement: 13, evaluations:
7)
I think that one of the best aspects that EU has brought to the lives of its citizens is the easier movement
from country-to-country brought by the Schengen Acquis. While I personally do not like the fact that EU is
becoming more of federal year by year, I do honestly think that still the pluses overweight the minuses. While
communication between people from different states is super-important for the whole Europe, I hope that the
EU would also take care of rights like freedom of speech and privacy of its citizens, when taking action in for
example police matters the EU should still strive to strongly protect the rights of the individual and especially
the privacy of the individual. I have come across of this fact in for example in connection with the new bio-
passports that require you to submit your fingerprint, feels a bit police-state-y, does it not? To me it does feel
like limitation of the privacy of the individual. I look this issue from a purely professional perspective as a
law student and a freedom-of-speech activist. While I have gained so many new friends around Europe just
because the fact that it is so easy to travel from country to another, and especially since I am a Finnish citizen
who lives in Estonia, still I would not like to see the coercion of the rights of the individual to continue.

2252. Mobility (importance: 75%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 15)
It is important to increase the mobility within EU. Better mobility which is better and more efficient road system,
cheap air transport and railway will improve communication. This will allow to exchange goods and technology
with lower costs which will in long term assure sustainable growth for the whole EU. Traveling allows people to
experience different culture and expand knowledge. Give the poorer country resident the ability to transfer the
technology or experience on the other ground and develop it.

2259. Integration Politics (importance: 75%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 14)
It's my personal belief that integration politics is far from being good enough. By putting all foreigners in
one area (as happens generally in many cities i.e. in Belgium, France, Netherlands, Luxemburg, ...) creates
criminal energy. By waiting up to 5 years before definitely deciding if one is allowed to stay in a certain country
or not, we do them more harm than good. On the one hand they see the luxury and lifestyle of our countries,
in some cases their children are being put in our schools and start to integrate themselves (even if their
parents might not). Sending them back after all this time, is inhumane. In other cases, when they are allowed
to stay, but are being put all together within what one could call 'Ghettos', it is normal that criminal energy is
created. Picking up on each others misery, without any real effort of the state to become fully integrated in
our culture, they live on the border of society. It is quite normal that this generates feelings of envy, in some
cases even hate or despair. Paris burning is not only to blame on 'foreigners', but most of all on a failed
integration course by the State of France. And than I haven't spoken about the tests they have to undertake,
which in some cases are designed in a way that it is impossible for them to 'pass'. I agree that we cannot
load our countries up with foreigners, because we are too afraid to send them back. Taking into account the
complicated character of this matter, I still believe more work is due
2260. European identity and social integration of migrants (importance: 75%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 10)
How many citizens ages 18 to 45 identify themselves as Europeans instead of Italians, French, Greeks etc?
Not many! in fact none! One of the primary objectives of the European Union lacks results and this is mainly
due to the fact that Brussels bureaucracy and services are not capable in disseminating the message of
Europeanization to the main stakeholders, i.e the citizens of the EU. The European identity remains a "label"
of the few who are lucky to be accomodated by the European structures mainly earning a "more than dissent
leaving" which is based on the taxes that the rest of the Europeans are paying. The "Europeanized" at the
end they become servants of their interests but not "servants" of the whole (EU) . And this is the paradox!
European policy and structures suppose to work in a direction which benefit the whole and not the "individual
parts"; Europe needs to re-identify its principles, values and direction as social unrest will continue to grow
mainly on the basis of a growing gap between those who benefit from the system and those who support
the system but cant see any benefits at all. Equally important becomes the integration of migrants into the
European societies which to a large extent benefit from their presentce but when it comes to the issues
of legalizing and providing benefits to the migrants then they "look on the other side". Europeans should
remember that they themselves were immigrants only 50years ago and abolish short-memory symptoms.

evaluations: 11)
As an expatriate, I struggle with the differences in the banking system in the different countries. I do not
understand how we can so easily cross a border and still pay lots of amounts in fees when we want to do a
simple money transfer. I have payed till 25 euros on my salary because it was paid by my Belgian employer
on my French acount. As an intern, this amount was not negligeable. I wonder why the EU has not yet
harmonized this aspect of mobility, which would make the life of a lot of EU citizens abroad easier and less
costly.
2265. More funding for cross-border cultural projects (importance: 74%, disagreement: 18, evaluations:

2266. EU citizenship (importance: 74%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 11)
Is there a project in the eu commisssion to allow eu citizens to choose between a european nationality and
their former nationality? I mean some people describe themselves as european instead of french or german,
so they should be able to pick which one describe themselves at best.
2267. The future of the E.U and the Lisbon treaty (importance: 74%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 13)
What exactly is the future for the E.U? As a politics student myself I am studying The E.U at the moment, its
origins, how it became what it is today and what it may become in the future. Also I wonder what will become
of Ireland and the E.U as a whole going into the future if the Lisbon treay is rejected for a second time. Will
Ireland really become the "Piranha" of Europe and is the Lisbon treaty really the answer to all our problems.
What is it that makes it so criticial to our future? Was ther so much wrong with the E.U that a new treaty was
needed. Why wasn't it put to the people of Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Spain etc etc and just Ireland? What is
it that Europe is on the road to becoming? A federal State perhaps? A growing together of the countries or a
growing apart? What do you feel is the best path for the E.U to take? Do you know or indeed does anyone? Is
it much like the beginning of the E.U where the federalists, Nationalists, Liberals and (whisper it!) Communists
came together to form what we know now as the E.U, or as it was called when it was initially formed the
E.C.S.C?
2268. Communication, protection of freedom, security. (importance: 74%, disagreement: 21, evaluations:
13)
People and businesses alike needs to communicate to be able to trade. We need access to regular
transportation, but more so fast access to telecom. A video conference saves time, environment and costs,
but the infrastructure must support it, something that is a problem today. At the same time, the communication
must be protected from snooping, as ideas, thoughts, questions and answers must be allowed to flow freely to
ensure progress, and not be hampered by snooping authorities. It's by bringing people together that we solve
problems, and by surveillance we supress the very same. The surveillance culture adopted by many states
and policians is at the brink of becoming the terrorism itself, with it's "if you have nothing to hide, you have
nothing to fear"-mentality". Businesses needs communication. People need communication. Public bodies
needs communication. We all need secure, cheap, reliable ways to communicate, because communication is
what brings people together, and solves problems. EU should act harshly on excessive surveillance, as it only
shoves the problems underground. The best way to deal with "nutjobs", is to allow them to speak openly and
freely, and not force them to go underground.

2269. ıt should heavily encourage student mobility programmes. (importance: 74%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 21)
As I student studied in the netherlands through Erasmus Programme, I would definitely say that EU should
pay much more importance to that kind of networks.It is a great experience for the intehration of different
cultures and to see how the system works in other European countries.
2270. Solidarity and common goal (importance: 74%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 9)
European Union looks to me like a financial Institution. Union is only for economic issues and nothing more.
Weren't for the common usage of euro, we Europeans would have a zero connection among us. We have to
invest in our common values and history. We have to bring closer to the people the European Parliament. As
a Greek, I get no information at all about the debates, the issues discussed and the resolutions. Lets introduce
EU's institutions and values in schools. SOLIDARITY is the key word. We should think of countries borders,
interests and problems as EU's matters. We are not a nation but we should respect and stand for each other
as family. No further countries integration into the EU until we establish the values that will strenghten us as
one true Union.
2271. integration and education of people (importance: 74%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 15)
the better educaton of the people will improve the business climate and the relations between people in every
area
2272. Social mobility (importance: 73%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 17)
- launch more programs to promote Europeans that wish to work abroad
2273. Lisbon Treaty, Laws, Regulations (importance: 73%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 12)
I voted no to the Lisbon Treaty not because of its impact on me, but because of its impact on the entire
500million plus EU citizens. It is an infringement of citizen's democratic right that a group of elitist bureaucrats
can "force" a treaty such as this to be implemented. I happen to agree with most of the proposals set out in the
treaty. The people of France and The Netherlands who had already overwhelmingly voted no to a constitution
which was 90% identical to Lisbon were ignored. Their democratic voice snuffed out because they voted the
wrong way and they want to bring europe in a different direction to the unelected millionaires of Brussels. The
pressure and threats Brussels has put on my country if we don't vote YES next time is propaganda and again
is there to coax and deceive the voter. The very fact that we may lose certain powers within Europe because
of our right to vote is disgusting. Brussels and other EU leaders are using fear tactics and the recession to
terrorise Irish voters to vote YES. I also feel that EU law making is getting over-powerful. National government
should make most laws maybe with the EU acting as an advisory or implementing regulations. The EU has
done many great things. A focus on the environment and the safe provision of essential services has been
enhanced in Ireland due to EU contribution. But, it is my feeling that the EU should remain a largely economic
body and should become less influential in day to day goings on in each coun
2274. The distance between the EP and the common European voter. (importance: 73%, disagreement:
As it has been said many times, the members of the EP have very little control above them - a part of it
comes from the government from which they originate from, yet the other one, that is supposed to come from
opposition is not always clearly present. However, I believe that lately all this is on a good way to come to
an end, since we can clearly see stronger parties form in the EP as well, who will generally have to fight with
other parties so as to assume power.
2275. harmonisation enforcement across EU Member States (importance: 73%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 11)
In particular in the fields of environmental protection, consumer protection and waste treatment not only
the same criteria in all EU Member States should apply, but also the enforcement should create the same
obligations and should take place in the same level of strictness
2276. Cooperation and creativness (importance: 73%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 20)
The crisis is bringing us into new era - this the era of cooperation and creativness. Thouse, who will manage
to cooperate, will be thouse, who will survive. The advantage of economic bloc is that in principles we should
cooperate in any way, I should admita that the tough protectionism among the memberstates gives other
(outsiders) to win the crisis better than we do. Other - the EU needs to be as much creative in new markets
findings and new relation foundation. Why the passive EU diplomacy cannot develop more active relationships
with The Middle East countries and South America. These regions have suffered less from the global crisis, so
they are able to develop promising relations, which may turn in to new markets for EU goods.

2277. Harmonisation of health prices & reimbursement systems (importance: 73%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 13)
Product information is ongoing to be hamonised through all EU countries leading progressively to same
indications, side effects, warning, etc... Don't lought at that, in the past, the same medicinal products didn'have
the same side-effects or indication between the countries ! So big improvment of the situation now. BUT,
there are still huge differences between the prices, the reimbursement and the health systems between EU
countries. That is the result I think between the differences between the salaries and taxes. There has been
big improvment in Europe that this issue does not seem to evolve while this is a condition for a real union in
the future !

2281. A more integrated European defense market (importance: 73%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 12)
If the EU could present unified import/export rules and harmonise internal regulation on the subject, we
would be a more credible entity internationally, and the possiblity of greater specialisation would help to
reduce defense costs. An ESA-style system of optional participation could imrpove efficiency and lead to the
development of more projects like Galileo.

2288. Integration of new EU citizens (importance: 73%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 13)
The Polish and other "new" EU citizens are replacing the Turkish and Moroccain citizens who moved here in
the sixties for work. The same situation is being created by the Polish in big cities. They all live in the same
neighbourhood and pretty much don't speak the Dutch language and nobody is controlling this situation. In a
few years we will encounter the same problems with the Polish as we have with the Turkish and Moroccain
immigrants. The EU should set up rules and regulations for all EU countries.
2289. THE ENCHANCEMENT OF DEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATION (importance: 73%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 4)
I believe that a main issue that not only does affect me, but also all european people's lives, is the
enhancement of democratic participation. I support that issue because it's the only way for the European
Union to gain the trust of every single european citizen. It's widely spread that E.U. has a lack of democratic
participation, that European Parliament doesn't have the power to solve european citizen's problems and that
Commission proves that E.U. is a union of governments. We have the historical chance to attest that E.U. is a
union of eupean people!
2290. How the Europeans can feel united and secured? (importance: 73%, disagreement: 15, evaluations:

Psychology is a main issue always. Europe is not united and we need to feel that we have the same dreams
and that we can depend to each other.We have to establish a common european conscious for what is good
for all of us and which are the dangers and threats for us.We have to grow a common European proudness
and to stand up for all issues.If we feel that we are all together we will feel more secure and united.

2293. The EU citizenship should be reinforced (importance: 72%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 20)
Each country tends to think small and to look only after pros for their own interest. By putting EU first in our
minds, a lot of behaviours would disappear in a generation's time. For instance, the ID, Driver's licenses and
passports should be european with only a small mention to the country, not the opposite. At University student
exchange should be mandatory, and subsides should be given so that each pupil has a chance to visit at least
3 european countries before being 18 years old.
2294. Harmonisation, EU Green Card (importance: 72%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 5)
As a long term plan, the EU should work towards increased harmonisation of the legal systems in MS given
the fact that a crime in one MS may not be considered a crime in another. This is absurd given the nature of
the EU itself which has no internal borders. As a foreign student, an EU Green Card should be available as i
have studied in France (Sciences PO) and now in Belgium at the College of Europe, and i have a lot that i can
offer the EU but due to my single nationality, it is tough for me to find a job here. If it could be tken into account
the number of years i spent in EU MS, and offered a green card, it would certainly facilitate things for me as
well as for the EU as otherwise instead of bringing in the right kind of immigrants, the EU will end up with a lot
of immigrants from countries with starkly incompatible cultures leading to current problems like radicalisation
and terrorism. Internal laws should be made more strict. The Public provocation directive is a right step
forward. If the EU puts laws ahead of society and culture, it can deal with terrorism very effectively.
2295. Fundamental right of research as basis for mobility (importance: 72%, disagreement: 30,
evaluations: 2)
The Fith Freddom is a very prominent idea of tackle a mobility of researchers in Europa. But without the
fundamental right to do research Europe fall behind. All Member States should sign this findamental rigt of ree
research otherwise they should be not allowed to take part in European Research Programmes financed by
the EU.

231

2296. Integration before further enlargement (importance: 72%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 11)
A stronger Union is in the interests of all EU citizens. A lot of institutional changes need to be made in order to
achieve political integration to the same degree as economic integration. That's the only way to create a stable
Europe with peace and security for all. Member states cannot go on speaking with 27 different voices, as they
do now, in important matters, because nothing useful comes out of this approach. In order to play a leading
role worldwide, the EU needs among other things a common foreign policy and a President with a substantial
role to represent the Union. In case the Treaty of Lisbon does not come into force, the EU has to continue the
reform of its institutional framework in other ways, because now it is unmanageable and has strayed from its
purpose. Further enlargement should be made conditional on the ability of the EU to make decisions as a
political Union with one voice and not as a loose economic entity. Enlargement should also take into account
the will of the citizens and the borders of the European Union which cannot expand indefinitely. The EU
affects the lives not only of European citizens but also of people around the world who see the EU as a major
force in promoting peace, security, democracy and the rule of law, among other things. All these can only be
achieved by a strong political union capable of playing a decisive role in world politics.
2297. Integration of the three pillars (importance: 72%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 9)
It's important for the EU to find a proper way of governing. Such as federalism or confederalism. a real
system with separation of powers (more power to the parliament, less to the commission) and democratic
accountability.
2298. Communications and information flows. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 15)
The European Union seems remote, complex and disconnected from our daily life in two dimensions. One
the institution itself is hidden behind the regional, national institutions and few of us understand it and how
it affects us. People seeking information about the union can get it and very good information too, but it is
probably the other majority that matters. Second the union spands many cultures and geographical realities.
Only those of us who have lived overseas will probably call ourselves European first and nationality x
second. An effort could be made to lower communication cost and access to further interest and awareness
across member states.
My parents are Portuguese, I was born in France and I had the opportunity to work in Spain. I think mobility
is a good way to become a "good" european. It's really nice to promote mobility as it allows us to better
understand the other ways of living and to work efficiently in coordination with our european colleagues. I
know that some programs are already existing in education area but it could be nice to develop it regarding
working policy. I contacted some "euro conseiller" by email in the past and never had any answer.
2300. Better communication of EC aims (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 18)
Centralise the communication of the European Commission so that it is more coordinated and accessible to

2305. The EU has managed to create one united europe. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19, evaluations:
10)
I do not agree with those who claim that Europe cannot be united. The enlargement has certainly improved
life for those who felt isolated as we did in Malta. Coming from a small island makes this belonging even more
important. A desire to feel that your country does not stand alone.

There is no common energy policy though its been a long standing discussion within the EU. Morever, the
EU via its lending arm, the European Investment Bank, keeps undermining its own climate change goals.
The Commission needs to work much harder with Member States in order to ensure that energy policy will
be coordinated on Eu level, that the transition to low-carbon energy generation will start immediately and that
transmission networks will be robustly improved. External activities of the EU need to go hand in hand with EU
climate targetting - this means that the EIB needs to phase out investments into fossil fuels ASAP.

2311. easier communication (importance: 71%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 13)
There are more than 20 official languages in the EU compared to English (and maybe Spanish) in the USA.
This causes a barrier to migration between the EU countries. According to the official statistic data less
than 2% of the EU citizens live outside of their home country. The EU should try to remove this barrier. One
common language would not be realistic. Maybe automatic translation equipment implanted into everyone's
head... (joking as I don't have any good idea)

2314. Legal harmonization (importance: 71%, disagreement: 7, evaluations: 9)
Barriers have been eliminated between member states, there is freedom of movement for working force, I
believe it is time now to place European law over national law, and not to expect each country to harmonize
their laws to directives. I believe that apart from me, many Europeans believe more in the EU parliament
than in their own country's parliament. I will be more than happy to cede a significant amount of national
independence to favor a pan-european government.
2315. Better communication with EU organisations (importance: 71%, disagreement: 37, evaluations: 6)
I would like to see EU becoming more open in terms of direct access from citizens to EU services. It is very
difficult andtime consuming to directly address the EU for a single citizen. In terms of legal disputes between
individuals or betwenn individuals and governments the process is time consuming, and VERY expensive.
Maybe an idea could be, for EU to establish via internet channels of communication for individuals. To address
the issues raised from ciizens, a special organization under EU must be established and staffed accordingly.
The EU citizen will have the opportunity to communicate its problem or issue or case directly, with no cost or
a minimum cost and EU will have either to answer and give further information for actions to the citizen, via
standing operational procedures, or process the issues and issue directives in the near future for the member
countries. Best regards, Christos Xaghas Greece

2316. Strong, moral, united foreigh policy (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 16)
The EU needs to do much, much more to leverage the global power of Europe to push for human rights (as
defined in the UN charter) globally. Only with a common voice can the EU be effective on a global stage. It
will increase the pride Europeans feel in the EU, which is also much needed.
2317. Rights of and participation of older people (importance: 71%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 8)
Older people are often marginalised in our societies. They have contributed a lot but are often excluded
bacause of poverty, technology and ageist attitudes and policies.
2318. Communication of the EU (importance: 71%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 11)
I currently work at the Commission so you, Mr. Barroso, are my boss. I can witness how policies are made. I
can witness the input of the Commission and that of Member States. And I really, really cannot understand the
accusations of a democratic deficit. Member States sign everything. The Parliament scrutinizes and changes
almost everything. Where's the problem? It lies in the fact that people don't get it. People don't know. People
don't care. Someone somewhere in a small village in Bulgaria or in the centre of Luxembourg doesn't care
about you and me, Mr. Barroso. They care for their own business and what they see is their Prime Minister.
They vote for their party and hope to see its leader in power. They didnt vote for you. But that's besides the
point because anyway their PM agrees to the Directives and Regulations! What are we doing wrong, Mr.
Barroso? Many people in Bulgaria might not even know who you are! I tell you that and I'm not proud to say
it. I think it all comes down to simple education. There will always be people who prefer not to know. But just
as we educate the youth about their own country and institutions, we should educate ourselves about the EU.
Otherwise, what are we doing here? Why did we join (in Bulgaria's case at least)? We can open info centres,
set up stands, celebate Europe's Day, etc. but until structured lessons about the EU make it into the textbooks,
generations will still grow without having a clue what's going on.
2319. Higher education - harmonizing European systems/mobility (importance: 71%, disagreement: 24,
evaluations: 14)
Studying should never again be a matter of having the finances for it or not. Today students are severely
restricted by time budget (BA-MA structure forces them to finish studies quickly and enter labour market)
and money budget. Consequence: no time for Erasmus or study/intern abroad. Universities should adjust/
harmonize their curricullums to each other! This will surely attract more students!
2320. Common and Improved Social Standards particularly the aged (importance: 71%, disagreement:
11, evaluations: 8)
In the UK caring seems to have become a for profit enterprise measured by profit and not by the happiness
of the aged. Other countries seem to have low or poor standards Romania for example while such as France
and Germany seem to have high standards. Having all 27 countries achieving the upper quartile standards
would be good
2321. EU Citizenship and individuals (importance: 70%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 11)
I have recently attended a seminar by Professor Jo Shaw in connection with EU Citizenship in Malta. On a
general note, the message which I perceived was that in order for an individual to make better use of his /
her EU Citizenship rights, one has to have the mobility factor. While I do understand this view, that in order to
make use of EU Citizenship rights, one has to be living in other member states other than his member state of
origin. The formula is in my view only fit for those individuals who are either single or do not have any social
handicap (social handicap meaning: being a disabled person or being a close relative of a disabled person).
My argument lies on the fact that if restrained persons would be able to benefit from such rights (which are
majority of EU Citizens for one reason or another) then also those with mobility factor would be able to enjoy
such rights in a more 'friendly' fashion. Such an approach would push for an enhanced EU sense of belonging.
2322. Common identitiy (importance: 70%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 20)
The EU should help to create a common identity as a European citizen sharing common values, cultures and
political views.
2323. Women's participation in politics (importance: 70%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 13)
The EU should do everything it can to ensure that women participate more fully and actively in its

2326. taxation - pension - worker mobility (importance: 70%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 18)
different tax systems within the EU creates loads of troubles for SME's even individuals. I know that many
studies got to the point that harmonisation would not be as positive as it seems, because of the spill overs,
and there is a commitment problem with member states but more importantly, today if I go to work in another
member states, I loose a part of my pension. This should not happen. I know that the Commission is aware of
this, and work in order to solve this problem. in the field on worker mobility, the European Union has a role to
play that Member States are not likely to cover - and should not.
2327. Integrating the 3 pillars (importance: 70%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 14)
While this wouldn't affect me directly, I think that in the next few years greater European integration will be a
big benefit to all citizens, as we move towards a multipolar world. Unless the EU can make its presence felt
as a whole, the influence and negotiating power of all its members will decline. I think it would even be worth
abandonning the Lisbon treaty for the time being, and having people vote on this one, key issue alone.
America is a union of different states, so is the EU. The difference is people from Texas are Americans first
and Texans second whilst in Europe one would English, French or German etc. first and European second.
Until this attitude changes the EU will never be truly successful. I feel this can only be brought about by time,
education and perseverance.
2329. Minorities integration (importance: 70%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 11)
A very sensitive issue here is the integration of minorities, especially the rrom minority. Discrimination is
common and people seem to find it ok to discriminate. Only a few ong try to tackle the problem. Linked to this
problem would be education of the children from these minorities.

2331. Cross-border transportation (importance: 70%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 12)
Finally, I also feel that the EU should put very strong focus on cross-border transportation, particularly by train.
Much of continental Europe already has a good amount of this but us here in Scandinavia don't have much
yet. I would love to see real high speed trains running between Stockholm and Copenhagen, for example...
2332. equal opportunities in EU - free tranfer of EU citizens (importance: 70%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 4)
EU citizens can study and work to any EU member country. The connection between education and labour
is not yet so clear, with many difficulties for the citizens. Equal opportunities doesn't have the same meaning
everywhere in the EU. I see a new kind of "mercantilism" in the sectors of education and labour market. Even
within EU, countries seem to be very sceptic, but reacting in such a way within our EU community will make
us even more "claustrophobic" of the outside, of the unknown. I think it is a necessity to create a safe and
secure environment for our citizens in order to explore their capabilities in the EU as a big community of free
transfer of people, education, ideas, market and economy. Although this does not includes a development of
a common policy (internal and external), this will create that policy and the agreement, that the politicians can
not come because of national priorities, automatically. It will be a need in our mind that the politics will have
no say any more. So, EU needs to go further with policies that can create certain standards for all citizens and
take advantage of the equal opportunities that lie ahead. I wonder, Is it possible for the EU to succeed this
goal in my lifetime?
2333. A united Europe? Hardly. (importance: 69%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 16)
Why do 'old member states' assume they can tell 'new member states' what is right and what is wrong? It is
now clear that Europe is not really united. France and Germany still see themselves as the natural leaders of
the EU and think they can overlook the interests of CEECs and get away with it.
2334. United in diversity (importance: 69%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 12)
A wonderful moto. I am a citizen of the world. But I have so many questions about Belgium!!! How can we

different cultures are totally anable to have a fruitful cooperation. Good luck! I am with you
2335. Agree on common rules for citizenship (importance: 69%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 6)
The rules for acquiring another European citizenship are usually compex. Plus, the requirements differ
depending on the country. When 2 citizen from different countries have children, the problem gets worse.
If the member states could agree to all sign the Strasbourg convention, or to all renege on it, or to create
another system altogether, life would be all the more simple for European citizen. Creating a single form for
birth registration, or marriage registration would spare us a lot of red tape.

2336. Cross Border Internet Sales: Readdress for problems (importance: 69%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 16)
While consumer rights have almost been harmonished across the member states, I think there are issues to
be addressed concerning cross-border internet sales, when things go worng. It is very difficult and costly(often
you have to post the faulty good back at high expense) if a problem arises with a good you brought on the
internet from another member state.
2337. Transport integration (importance: 69%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 10)
TGV is unique and European, it should merge with Thalys, ICE and others and the network should become
uniform, fast and expanded towards the south & east. Fast trains should be an European trademark. Also, a
smart integration with airports/city centers could make travel much easier inside Europe.
2338. integration of new member states (importance: 69%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 13)
some people think that the EU has reached a point where it is too big to be able to manage itself. I think
however that it must continue accepting new member states, become even bigger, even more inclusive, and
spread around the values that we all cherish.
2339. Common agricultural policy (importance: 69%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 12)
According to my knowledge, memory and press releases the CAP is the most expensive part of the
EU budget. EU was not created as an agricultural club, was it? I believe not, look at the treties ECSC,
EUROATOM, ... I believe the EU should only support those areas that are competitive. I know it is hard to
push it through, but in many cases this subventions are unfair and consume money that could be used in other
areas. We have a financial crises here!!
2340. improve cooperatinin between countries in South East Europe (importance: 69%, disagreement:
26, evaluations: 9)
about gas market integration and security of gas supply, crossborder projects could be subsidied by EU. But
cooperation between countries is not so obvious (especially Bulgaria-Greece, but also Romania-Hungary and
Bulgaria-Romania). expecially Romania and Bulgaria are recent in EU, the region has a heavy history with
political tensions between countries. My understanding is that they need to be invited with more intensity to
cooperate. The region needs recoomic activity and the projetcts are here : EU should come and review the
projects to investigate about the local political will, especially in this period just after the russian-ukrainian
crisis. A local move of EU one team, in order to understand better local positions (ROmania, BUlgaria and
Greece) would in fine ease and speed up cooperation between countries in the region (because they respect
EU).
2341. EU should focus its focus on student's communication. (importance: 69%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 13)
I'm a secondary student in University of Aegean,Greece. As far as I know is the only university in Europe-
if not in all over the world- which its schools are spread in 5 islands. As you may realize, communication
among students of different schools is being achieved particurarly by internet. EU could focus on student
communication by several ways: developing sites where students from different universities (and,however not
necessarily, similar schools) could discuss for several subjects, improving/creating projects where students
would visit foreign universities for a few days (in a way of educational trip) and find out how other universities,
except of their own, run (such as Erasmus Project, but in a more academic style). These would help students
discover other, foreign cultures, exchange ideas, knowledge (both students & teachers) and ,mainly, discover
the labor market of Europe (and not stay only in the market of their country).
2342. cross border pensions (importance: 69%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 15)
in the moment it's quite difficult to get pensions from different countries. but as my generation grows older - if
there is any money in the pension pot left by the time that we retired - then there should be a system by which
our pension is put together from different EU countries. A lot of people in my generation will have worked in
several countries by the time they retire.
2343. Common defence (importance: 69%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 17)
Europe needs a common army!

evaluations: 3)

2345. Lack of philosophical reason - why participate? (importance: 68%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 8)
Although the most important obvious problem is the non-participation in EU matters (and yes, I believe
that everybody is doing their best to fix it), this is clearly just a simptom. If EU were to present a larger
supranational body that would embody the European dream of how to join together, the nations would be quite
eager to join and participate. But the problem is, that they don't see the picture which those who work with
the EU's Vision do. The Idea of the European Union has not yet proven to be as equally strong as...well, you
see, there is nothing to compare it to. Which is why European Union can only survive if people take it into their
patterns of thinking about the world. That cannot be achieved woth promotion - only with following the idea.
2346. Having a more united and responsive Europe (importance: 68%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 9)
With its numerous member states, all having veto power, we all know that moving at a fast pace, responding to
global economic or political crises effectively is near impossible. I would support a European super-federation
on the long term, or at least a confederation with a directly elected govenment. Changing european institutions
is, in my oppinion, an emergency.
2347. Communication (importance: 68%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 16)
Along with the culture and education the communication factor is of the same importance as it gives the
ability to exchange the information and knowledge. As we improve our ability to communicate we increase
the efficiency of education. We are able to deliver knowledge between cities, countries and continents. Fast
and low cost communication for the whole world is the key to build up global societies focused on increasing
knowledge and share it withe others. The communication is essential factor in education and culture as
it allows the to be spread all over the world. The quicker and simpler the communication will be the lees
expensive it will be to exchange the information and share the knowledge. Today in the age of internet
there are millions of people who can share their knowledge with people from every place in the world. This
knowledge gives the the opportunity to improve their lives. Sometimes it only gives a glimpse of a better life for
the simply proving that the better life actually is possible. This can be enough to inspire people and encourage
the to look for better education, knowledge and develop culture in societies. As we are still in the process of
creating European Community we must provide the citizens with appropriate means of communication so they
will not only believe they create a union but will find themselves personally involved in creating it.
2348. Lisbon Treaty (importance: 68%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 17)

2349. common tax system, common health insurance (importance: 68%, disagreement: 21, evaluations:

2352. Cross border Insurance. (importance: 67%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 12)
My car/ house etc. insurance has to be with a Belgian insurance company, because I live in Belgium. The
insurance regulation in Belgium is much stricter than the one in the Netherlands, so I would like to 'shop'
across the border. The European Union should do more to make this possible. Insurance is a product, so as a
consumer I want the biggest choice possible.
2353. EU cooperation (importance: 67%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 10)
i was wondering about ways that european nations can find and explore alternative sources of energy,and
become more energy efficient,independent from oil or gas exporting nations, and more "green". but from
what i see, nations are encouraged by EU or by their own countries to do so, on a national level only.looking
after their issues,problems or exploiting their resources on their own,by themselves.well that does not sound
too european oriented at all. what if two or more nations co-operated, co-financed or co-built a source of
alternative energy provider,together,and belonging to both or to the whole of europe....??i mean the south
states have the sun,the wind and the waves,the northern states have the waves and the wind,but some
states in the middle of the continent have nothing..so how about getting all involved? example, if greece and
czech republic co-financed and co-built air-mills,or solar panels, they both put knowledge,money ,efford and
expertise,so eventualy the outcome would be bigger better and both countries would benefit.or if slovakia
and ireland invested in wind mills in the same way.and perhaps not just two,but more countries involved.or
even better, if all EU nations did that at the same time? all countries invested for solar panels in greece,italy
and spain,and wave power in ireland,norway,britain and france?so we all become independent and energy
efficient? shouldn't that be an EU wide project?aren't we all equally affected by it?

2354. unity (importance: 67%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 10)
The EU shall become a single state, i.e. confederation. Each citizen has to have the same rights and
obligations in every Member State. The Member States shall compete between themselves to offer the
most convenient conditions of living. This can be done by e.g. taxes, pensions, education, health care etc. It
requires the complete abolishment of all necesarry obstacles, e.g. no state borders (cf. Schengen and UK), no
visas/residence permits for anything, uniform university system. There is much to do, and we all need to start
talking about this.
2355. Common monetary politics (importance: 67%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 15)
Some EU countries have (and likely will preserve) their own national currencies. This is not a problem, if
these national currencies would be fixed to EURO. Today, devaluation of national currencies results in unfair
competition and evokes national protectionism.
2356. The communication of the EU toward the european citizens (importance: 66%, disagreement: 32,
evaluations: 9)
Information toward the European citizen is a major issue. It's important to create a european public opinion,
and for this, the citizens must know what is EU. Moreover, the national politicians should not adopt a double
comportement, one when there are in the European Union, and an other when they talk to their own citizens.
In adition, i think it is very important to continue the processus of integration before enlarge the EU. In fact, I
think UE has to grow stronger, particularly in the political field, but this construction should be done with and
explain to the citizens. Now, EU will not ba able to continue without a strong sustain of the citizens, that is why
I think i is the first issue for EU now.
evaluations: 6)
In my opinion, the main root for this phenomenon consists that the eu citizens don't know about the function
of European Union and I suppose that they don't know what is the role of European Parliament. I am sure
that European Union forwards informational campaigns via press and television, but these measures aren't
effective. As far as I am concerned, the eu citizens should be informed for european institutions from school
age. Furthermore, visits to the EU institutions is an another way to communicate with European Union.
2358. Common Agricultural Policy (importance: 66%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 12)
The agricultural sector in Europe is still a very delicate subject. The competition from Southern-American or
African countries could be enormous which could cause European farmers to loose their income. A major
part of the European budget goes to the CAP. Therefore continued research and development is needed in
the European Agriculture. So that funds can be made available for economic and cultural integration of less
developed EU countries.
2359. Ensuring the "common-market" aspects of the Union work well (importance: 66%, disagreement:
27, evaluations: 8)
In discussions with people who initially supported the UK joining the European Union but who now are either
against or unsure about our membership, a repetitive comment is that "we signed-up to be part of a Common
Market, not a European State". This, while on the one hand can be seen asboth a negative point and a
disappointing point of view, it does provide a ready vehicle for the Union to present its work in a way which
people can better understand and relate t5o. Success in showing people why and how particular things are
necessary for the fair and effective working of a Europe wide common market would help grow the realisation
of the good things the Union brings. If this could be achieved, it would move the control of the debate agenda
away from the anti-Europeans, thus allowing for a more balanced and rational debate to develop.
2360. Need for an internet portal for every EU citizen. (importance: 66%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 9)
Would be nice if you would create a personalized web portal for every citizen of the EU. That would be the
'gate' of every EU citizen to all the services of the European Union, information, newsletters, news and more.
2361. Cross Border Shopping (importance: 66%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 12)
As an internet buyer, I often buy items from other member states and while I have never had cause for
readdress, I am aware that consumer protection for cross border shopping is weaker and more complex than
national consumer protection. The EU can help, by streamrolling simplier consumer rights legislation, that
opens up protection to cross-border shoppers, especially internet shoppers. A possible example would be
that sellers would provide freepost addresses for goods that needed to be returned. Of course, sellers should
charge a levy for the service, that could be included in the selling price. The EU could control this, so that it
would not rip off consumers.

2362. environment, integrity, participation (importance: 65%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 17)
"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."
Europe is going down the wrong way. Don't let hollywood and the elite push the little guy around. I like my
integrity and I want to keep it. IPRED was horrible, and you're trying to make it worse. I don't even file-share
illegal content but with IPRED hollywood gets to be the police, I don't trust them.
2364. Encourage deeper integration with a single language (importance: 65%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 7)
A single language would facilitate greater integration and would provide the EU with a completely mobile
workforce which it currently does not have. This is something that will inevitably occurr and so should be
welcomed and accepted with all the benefits that come with it. Benefits would include a hugh financial saving
of the cost of translators, it would be easier to explore the culture of the other 26 countries.
2365. economic and secotral integration (importance: 65%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 15)
2366. Communications (importance: 65%, disagreement: 44, evaluations: 15)
Although the internet gives us so many possibilities to stay updated about other countries' affairs and the EU's
progress it would be nice to simplify things by establishing a european TV network so that every European
citizen residing in any country can receive the same input on important issues. It's a fact that television has a
great impact on people and though it is important for every country to maintain their cultural heritage, it is just
as important for everyone to also engage a common European culture. I believe it is important to be able to
see how the foreign networks and foreign public opinion react on different occasions because it will help us
understand our fellow European citizens and promote the unification in a most positive way.
2367. Communication and roaming rates (importance: 64%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 15)
Keep up the good work! The excuses of media companies that they cannot lower their roaming rates
("because their dealing with international companies lending their network" - citation) are mere excuses. Why
they can on country level, then? They can because they are regulations which obliege them to do it. If there
were regulations of EU level (which is not so big, USA is bigger and they have cheaper calls) I think we can
go to reasonable rates. There are many ways of solving this problem, for example some kind of international
(EU-wide) exchange where all companies can sold their transfer (there was similar initiative issued by Google,
though I don't know of it's status). The possibilities are vast when we're thinking on international level (the
country as a part of something bigger, not as an completely independent entity).
2368. Mobility for people with disabilities (importance: 64%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 17)
Mobility, Education and Social care for people with disabilities
2369. Greater chances for political participation (importance: 64%, disagreement: 30, evaluations: 5)
The European Union cannot remain an economic club that deals only with the maximisation of our finances.
It has to drive the way to closer cooperation between the centre (Brussels) and rests parts of Europe by
engaging citizens to its decision-making policies. A greater political union is needed that will send a message
to everybody in Europe that EU is the main centre of reform for better. Also, de-centralising decision-making
bodies to other parts in Europe, accompanied with stronger presence in internet and local councils across
Europe, are some ideas that EU needs to be a pioneer.
2370. Social integration & Intercultural Dialogue (importance: 64%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 15)
Although going through the financial crisis is so difficult along with other economic matters that affect our daily
lives, I suppose that these are temporary problems that can be solved within a few years. What I find more
important is the urgent need to have a successful integration of the third country nationals in the European
Society. By integration, it shouldn't be forgotten that this must be a bilateral process involving also the peoples
of the EU. Keeping in mind that the number of migrant people are drastically increasing thanks to both high
birth-rates and continuing immigration, the EU should not underestimate the importance of the issue and
invest more time and energy on this issue. Because unless strong/well-analyzed policies are found and
carried out, the most important issue that the EU will have to tackle with after no longer than 10 years will be
the problems with those people.
2371. A common energy policy (importance: 64%, disagreement: 35, evaluations: 11)

2372. Cheaper communications (importance: 64%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 13)
UE citizens should have the opportunity to travel cheaper. If you want to build a solid Europe you should allow
people to move. If you don't invest in mobility people can't and don't want to see what's europe, it is just to far
way... Internet rates. Internet prices are huge over internet, compared with America.

I hear a lot that people don't actualy know what is going on, they know that the EU is working and deciding
things but there is no real clarity on what it is. Same as for local governements.
2377. harmonization of EU business licences procedures (importance: 63%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 13)
once a business licence ("autorisation de commerce") obtained in one of the 27 countries, it should be valid
in all the other countries. this would bring many services from one country in another, beside and non-obstant
the schengen treaty. i.e. luxembourg is a very small country surrounded by france, germany and belgium. we,
as sme companies, have a huge interest as of our very small market, to expand to other markets/countries.
with 3 borders, it lies on the hand to look in the immediate neighbor countries. our luxembourgish business
licence should at least be valid in these three countries to be allowed to work in the border zone and bring our
services and/or products in these countries without the need to demand an extra domestic licence separately
in every country!
2378. common system in metrics, measurements, applications, tools (importance: 63%, disagreement:
2379. Taxation harmonisation and efficient immigration (importance: 63%, disagreement: 26, evaluations:
8)
It would be important to ensure taxation is harminisated and simplified. At the moment when people move
from Eu country to another they might end up apying more taxes that they would have stayed in one. This
happened in my case I paid taxes in Finland and Germany of the same income (twice). Efficient immigration
for us means people including non-Eu citisent can move freely within Eu. All bureogratic processes should be
harminised so that each Eu state has same model and process handling immigration and employement taxes.
It would be great if you Mr Barruso could speed up this.
2380. Make a United States of Europe (USE) (importance: 63%, disagreement: 36, evaluations: 12)
At present, the EU is mainly an economic entity, although many issues are cross-border,eg environment,
mobility, social laws, tax laws, foreign policy and defence. Its times for an EU government and a direct elected
EU president. The EU and what it stands for is far away from its citizens. You have to get them direct involved.
Look what the Obama effect had during the last presidential elections. More people than our politician want us
to believe have opinions about questions that affects them. Let the national parliaments handle only national
issues. Without speeding up the modernisation of the way the EU operates, the EU will become trivial in the
globalized world.
2381. Security player in defense of common values. (importance: 63%, disagreement: 43, evaluations: 4)
No feasible effort should be spared to protect members and their natural interests on World stage versus
global and regional players. This is the weakest current abilities of the EU.

2384. The European Union should become the United States of Europe (importance: 62%, disagreement:
The European Union can not be considered an "unidentified political object" anymore. It is time for the EU
to become a federal state, which was also the ultimate goal of the Schuman Plan. Global pressure from old
and emerging powers will suffocate the EU even as the biggest donor for development. The EU is now totally
surrounded from mammoths such as the US, Russia, China, India, which are going to have a bigger say
worldwide. In order to deal with this situation which could become more than just economically dangerous in
the future, the 27 MS have to leave aside their convergences and accept the fact that it is time to unite. The
Treaty of Lisbon should not only be ratified, but it seems too soft for final federalism. It is also a shame that
they are trying to find another "Face for Europe", when the President of the Commission is already there.
I suggest that all MS should give up most of their sovereignty in the benefit of the European Commission,
which could finally become the official federal government of Europe and not just "the very good secretary"
of the European Council. In this way nobody will use the EU as "scape-goat". As Albanian, I would prefer my
government to have the least sovereignty possible. I also understand that it is very hard for an ex-empire
such as Britain to give up its sovereignty, but it will be much better for the Britons, the French, the Germans,
Italians, Spanish, Dutch and so on... IN THE EU (as federal state) I TRUST!
2385. Forget the Lisbon treaty. (importance: 61%, disagreement: 38, evaluations: 15)
Lisbon means further centralization of power. EU needs exactly the opposite.
2386. A European commun policy for European expatriates (importance: 61%, disagreement: 26,
evaluations: 14)
A European commun policy for the Europeans who live and work outside their countries of origin at he same
level that inmigration and asylum policy. Take care of the local specificities of these European citizens in civil
rights (free movement and staying), political rights (right to vote), civil and familial matters (marriage, keep of
children), social security, tax policy, etc. It would be useful to have an European office to assist and to help
European expatriates oving within the EU.
2387. An EU social security for Expats (importance: 61%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 8)
In some fields of EU law, the EU only has a legal influence on citizens who do not live in their own Member
State. This new generation of Europeans is bound, and should be encouraged to grow. For many expats
now, the social security situation they are in is complicated to say the least. Non-workers and their families
are even required to prove they have sufficient means not to become a burden on the social security system
of their host member-states to be allowed to live there, let alone being socially covered like they would in their
own country. Other Europeans move between member-states and therefore find it very hard to stick to one
public coverage. People whose professional life takes them in many member-states then have to manage
a complicated - and often inferior- retirement pension paid in different and small parts by several national
pension systems. The solution should be a separate social security system for mobile EU citizens. As soon
as an EU citizen resides in another member state than his own, s/he should be able to immediately, and
for as long as he wishes, join a separate system by and for EU expats. This would cover Health insurance,
unemployment schemes and a common retirement fund. People who choose to do this would then be
exempt from payment to national social security systems, and would pay the EU one instead. This would be
economically viable as many Eu expats belong to the higher-paid, while others are young and mobile.
2389. Create EU harmony (importance: 60%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 3)
Some countries have a strong historical awareness where others are more willing to sacrifice parts of their
autonomy. When personalities are representing their voters or their people it even firther increase the risks
that the EU will be used by these countries whenever they feel it benefits them; otherwise they stall and veto.
Naturally, in order to create this, the EU governement and it's organization should be well managed at an high
efficiency and with the People as the true driving force.

person basis, separatelly for each individual and for a longer period of time. in a society which is growing old
this the only way to provide pensions for the elderly.
2404. Employment, social security, barriers to the 4 freedoms (importance: 96%, disagreement: 6,

I consider that the EU has to improve the way the Member States react to the mobility of other Member States'
citizens. Legal and administartive procedures are not to be eliminated or limited but banned. A coordination
(real one) in terms of emplyment and social security is compulsory if we want the people able to move in
Europe which will be vital for the cohesion of the European population.

Society has a responsibility to care, integrate and support all members of our community regardless of race,

everyday life. If someone should through an accident lose his mobility it is always a dramatic event but here
in BG a death sentence would have been kinder! Wheelchair (or pushchair) access is still very sporadic,
pavements are in a disastrous conditions and society's attitude in general towards people who are physically

2435. Health Treatment for everyone in the European Union (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 19)
There are some places in the European Union which don't have proper health treatment. The hospitals in
these places don't offer proper health treatment and the people have to travel many hours away to get health
treatment. This problems mainly occurs in the islands of the Mediterranean sea, isolated by the mainland,
where thousands of people living there. The situation is getting worst during the summer period when many
tourists are visiting these islands, the hospitals are not capable offering medical treatment which makes the
health of the patients worst. Poor people not capable of travelling away to get health treatment are dying in
their homes, isolated and forgotten by the people. EU should design and create a pan European health
system, funded by the European Union, offering health treatment to everyone.

2436. Family values (importance: 85%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 11)
If the EU wants people to be emotionally healthy, it has to pay much more attention to family issues: ensure
bigger opportunities for young parents, especially those who study, pay more attention to kindergartens
and the food children eat, perhaps give some support to kindergartens and schools, clean and elaborate
public spaces, like parks. Moreover, there is widespreat violence at schools, it reflects the violence children
see at home. Women are said to be more unsafe at home than on the streets at dark because of violence
against them. So instead of supporting gays the EU should take care of families. Because now they seem
to be discriminated against - supporting gays is a good thing and supporting heterosexual relationships is
considered discrimination. If we support families, if we show that having children is a good thing, if we can
create lives of parents and children interesting, not only will people grow up emotionally healthy, with fewer
divorces and fewer crimes, but also the population of the EU citizens will increase, in this way helping to save
the welfare states.

Health and cure are going to be major matters of question in the coming years with the population of all our

Living and working across the EU is still fraught with bureaucratic traps, basically some member states qualify

and Slovakia as well as the UK spring to mind... They must be made to respect the EU health cards that are a
great measure, but the EU needs to check how well the scheme is working through secret checking because
national providers are dragging their feet..
We should be able to have the same health services across countries. If I travel in the UK for example, and
something happens (ie accident) I should be treated the same (or in Greece's case, better) as in my own
country.

The EU is a bond of peace but why in times of crisis does it seem so passive? Solidarity and Faith are no
trade goods. Although a billion euro economic help fund has been established, the Union still has a divided
face. National interests often hinder the common goal. A globalized market will not allow the EU to fall into
internal disputs. I sit here in Luxembourg and although we define ourselves through our neighbours hence
the EU thus being a truly European Nation, I find it difficult to identify with it. It seems to far away, beyond my
reach. Imagine what people in Eastern Europe must think. Why is there no common European Television
Channel that broadcasts in every single country of the Union? Soldidarity starts with knowing the other. We all
share the same roots, the same soil and the same problem. This is the time where the Union has to reinforce
its status. You Mr. Barroso and you colleagues have to prove to 500 million citizens that there is a need for the
EU. A Union where each and every one should have a chance to improve and follow the life she/he desires.
2455. Healthcare (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 6)
Healthcare is certainly one of the sectors in which Europe will not be able to face the challenge raised by

2460. -medical care (importance: 83%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 10)
Health care system is very focused on bottom up model, which means that health care professionals assume
primarily that there is nothing wrong with the patient.After the patient's symptoms prolong, get extremely
serious that is when medical investigation starts taking a place.I have seen several patients getting into really
serious conditions like this,which could have been avoided if the doctors immediately started investigated the
patient's complaints. I believe that the primary concern in medicine here is to save money on the first place, as
understandably any medical testing costs a lot of money.Many people prefer to get treated in other countries.
As well as this, there is a lack of medical assistance.It might take a month till you are able to schedule a dental

Consolidating sound bases to a general social security for every citizen in EU, with the same rights for
everyone, inspired by the most generous countries and not by the minimal basis we can actually find among
the countries ; implementing in the "constitution" the defense of the right for a strong social security
The EC should do everything to put the Health Services directive straight back on the agenda and have it
passed before the end of the year! Agreements should be found between state health services around Europe
so that anyone state-insured in one MS should be insured all over the EU, and not only for 3 months as with
the current European Health Insurance Card. The system should aim for automatic cost-free access for the
patient, like the British NHS functions. Europeans who at one point reside in another Member State should
have the possibility of joining an EU social security system managed independently from the Member States
(described in 'an EU social security for expatriates')
2468. assistive technologies in the healthcare industry (importance: 83%, disagreement: 5, evaluations: 5)
The usefulness of assistive technologies in the health care industry has already been proved nevertheless a
bridge needs to be built between on the one hand the technology (automation) industry and the health care
industry. Nowadays the technology industry is manufacturing innovative assistive products for the health
care market without taking into consideration the needs of end-user (the person with a handicap, the elderly).
Making assistive technologies work is listening to the needs of the end-user and taking into consideration
his suggestions. If the technology industry is prepared to listen to the end-user and vice versa, assistive
technologies can be a future new market that can save a lot of money to the government etc. Living labs is
already one step in the good direction but many steps have still to be taken.

If we do not want that the EU transforms itself in a space of disease (because there are no borders and
transportation is easy, people are getting unemployed, poor and older) Healthcare must be accessible to all
and affordable. All efforts must be made at European level to keep costs under control and avoid speculation.
Lobbyists should be banned and prevented to give contributions to electoral campaigns. Corporation Interests
(Medics, Doctors, Pharmaceutical) should be kept under a tight leash and subbordinated to the society
superior interest.

Besides what any person perceives or can perceive as "quality of life", there are certain areas that one has to
believe what one is being told. For example, the quality of the air, water or food cannot be guaranteed except
by sampling, measuring and testing. There are four things that can be improved this: (i) tests cover all possible
areas that can be tested, (ii) test samples are collected correctly, (iii) test results are correct, and (iv) public
trusts that i, ii, and iii are indeed made adequately. Point (i) is probably not feasible, but in relation to (iv) it
means that at least the areas that the public is sensitive are covered: feasible by an EU-level mechanism to
collect opinions and complaints. Point (ii) is probably subject to corruption by authorities thus requires more
than one sample to be gathered by more than one organisations. Why not let well known (and respected by
the public) environmental organisations contribute to that? Point (iii) requires (a) that samples are not tested
once and are not tested by the same organisations and (b) that the organisation performing the tests and the
organisations affected by the tests do not know each other. This means that samples collected at country
level should be tested by independent organisations at EU level, while at EU level (preferably) there is an
organisation that guarantees the anonymity. Point (iv) is accomplished by the above plus by informing the
public about it.

Even that the private sector of Health (private clinics - hospitals) are enterprises looking for increasing their

as the "guardian of the law" in such cases. Evenmore, in public hospitals a portion of doctors, directors etc.
act as they were kings in their own kingdom, and the Greek goverment stands and looking. Only with severe

it will not be our governments who will look after our welfare. Such policies need to be regulated across the

and there hasn't been since Delors and the single market. Even the EU institutions are run by puppets to the
anglo saxon world. We had such hopes and they have been destroyed by the current leadership at nationa
and international level. The multinationals run this world eg pharmaceuticval companies and unless there is
a 'group effort' we cannot stand up to them. The current crisis is the result of greed and deregulation. and
for that we thank our leaders! We are creating a disillusioned and detached youth. The future is so bleak. We
do not need another thinktank; we need a commission with efficient and capable leaders and not a nepotist

There are some places in the European Union that they don't have proper medical care, people need to

in the Mediteranean sea, and these islands have every summer millions of tourists. Many people die every
day because there is not proper medical treatment in the hospitals into these places, often people need
to travel many hours in order to have access to medical treatment and when they reach there is too late...
Why not EU create a unified plan drived by the European Union and not the EU members (because they
don't do it properly) to have proper medical care in every place in EU, with special care for the islands in the
Mediterranean sea which have millions of tourists every year. This wil save many lifes and will improve the life

2502. Health care (importance: 81%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 19)
I again will concentrate on differences between within the Maas-Rhein-area as I, being Dutch but having
lived in Germany mostly, experience difficulties in this region especially. The Dutch health care system does
not know a difference between regular panel patients and private patients as the German system does very
well. I was a panel patient and had a serious knee injury. The time I had to wait for proper MRI (magnetic
resonance imaging) treatment was three months. If I had known before I would have gone to Belgium, as I
have been told that I would be treated immediately. Since good health is one of, if not THE most importance
things in our daily life I think that every European citizen should be given adequate medical help. I have heard
about cases in which German health care insurances deny the payment of medial treatment because it is not
foreseen due to the rules of procedure of the company, while other companies, even other German companies
due so. The payment of MDs is chaotic why some deny treatment if the patient's does not pay in advance. If
we want to create equality among all Europeans we must begin in this inevitable aspect. As even countries
such as Germany cannot provide proper health care for everybody it might be helpful to create some sort of
a European arrangement. I am well aware of the regional differences and the need for a system to adapt to
regional circumstances but I think the EU needs at least to develop a process of coordination or funding

Dear sir Barosso, Please harmonize the social security schemes in a broad sense. By this I mean creating
the opportunity for the young European generation to make use of the free movement of persons by more
easily to travel/migrate to other Member States to work and establish. With a harmonized European social
security scheme in general and pension and insurance rights specificaly the true free movement of persons for
the next generation will be created and the European integration will be realized. Also the European identity
through a true European citizenship will be achieved in the future where perhaps the next generation would
not feel affraid to vote in favor of an European Constitution since next generation will have the feeling that they
are European citizens and not merely the citizen of one single Member State and being scared about other
European cultures and states. This is much more important to finaly realize the true internal market which
has been only written on paper for decates now. And this is more relevant then just further enlarging Europe
without solving the current problems. Your sincerely, Ambrogino G. Awesta
2505. Education for all children (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 15)
There is a big issue for children that may not be of Belgian origin, and where the parents are on local
contracts. If your child has any learning problems the local system cannot support you. Each parent has to fin
a location and often pay as much as 15.000 euro per year for their child to be educated, even though they pay
local taxes. This is a major growing issue with such a migrant workforce.
2506. Education, Pension funds, Demography, Political indeference (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14,

Latvia is a EU member since 2005, and personally I, as a student, had only a pleasant experience with
benefits of ERASMUS programme. However, the investments, that has been made are not enough - my
government is assuring only few studying programmes for free. The rest is ether private financing or study
credit. If Europe wants to have a brighter future, than it`s naturally to invest more money and efforts into not
only higher education, but also professional and intermediary. At the moment I can not point another issues
with education, I guess some analysis is required (But let`s face the fact that more and more young people are
going abroad in seeking of a better education). Another thing is Latvian economical situation. I know that it`s
a local govermet`s responsibility, but since EU is an economical union as well, I believe, that there has to be
more control on legislation and made decisions form EU commission`s side, than before. It`s ridiculous that
to cover Latvian politicians dullness they are using money for pensions funds to plug that budget hole. And
not mentioning that my nation is dieing out, who will pay our pensions and debts in the future? I know that`s
a lot of issues, but a bottom line to all that things is, that, unfortunately, Latvian nation is extremely indeferent
to political life. Plus our politicians has no resonsobilety to their actions. So i suggets to ivest more time and

No matter which country or name, a human being deserves to be treated with proper medicine. Copyright
or patents should not be a hindrance in the medical development or in treating the needed. Giving medical
aid may be seen as a business, but there are human lives at stake and human lives are lost because of
greed. Medical discoveries and innovations should be free to redistribute, but the innovator should also be
compensated. Maybe from a fund or an international governmental organisation. For example, an innovator
that finds the cure for HIV/AIDS would get €1000/month for life, but if someone finds a cure against asthma he
may get €300/month etc.
I would like the EU to make sure that all its citizens can live long lives that are free from diseases or any other
health problems. I would like to live in a place where a strong prevention culture and a healthy lifestyle avoids
possible health problems, but if there are some there's an efficient and caring system that takes care of it.

During the current economic crisis environmental issues seem to be associated with less or no importance

also ´many citizens get angry when you try to discuss with them, why we nevertheless have to stick to
environmental sustainability. Furthermore I think that EU (and its member states separately as well) have
to do more to create social 'cohesion' and make the people feel part of their society. On the one hand it is
outrageous that in the developing world the prosperity levels between rich and poor diverge more and more,
and this already for decades; when politicans hide cowardly behind statements 'that is the market' or 'we can
not do anything against it' they just lie - of course you can do something against it, if you want. In the next
decades this cleavages between rich/poor, educated/uneducated, citizens/migrats, men/women will get worse
if nobody is doing anything against it - we need action: on the one hand with financial redistributation, but also
more culturally/socially that people feel belonging together more again. (what is strongly linked to this: right-
wing radicalism among younger people - mostly on the countryside; it is rising and if we can not go on just
ignoring this problem!)
2518. Social security (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 12)
Social security - keeping in mind that the EU is currently undergoing an institutional reform (or it will if the
Lisbon Treaty is ratified in the near future), the EU should then concentrate more on providing greater social
security to its people and not only on economic matters, such as free trade and full competition in unregulated
markets. In times of financial/economic crisis, the "social character" of Europe got even more vital for ordinary
citizens who lost their jobs.

It is important to balance public good interests against individual industry sector/company interests. Too often
the commission makes decisions heavily biased towards industry/shareholders interests. The decisions are
based on impact assessments that consider earning capacity and bottom lines without equally considering
negative consequences on public health and the environment where a precise causal cost cannot always
be calculated. Moreover, even where the costs to society can be calculated, the benefits of health and a
sustainable environment go beyond the economic costs.

I think the EU should do more in trying to harmonize the different approaches to health care funding in the

No matter which country or name, a human being deserves to be treated with proper medicine. Copyright
or patents should not be a hindrance in the medical development or in treating the needed. Giving medical
aid may be seen as a business, but there are human lives at stake and human lives are lost because of
greed. Medical discoveries and innovations should be free to redistribute, but the innovator should also be
compensated. Maybe from a fund or an international governmental organisation. For example, an innovator
that finds the cure for HIV/AIDS would get €1000/month for life, but if someone finds a cure against asthma he
may get €300/month etc.

Maybe the most urgent issue as the actual system is very discriminating against people with small/no income.

2548. Uncertainty of social security, growing violence. (importance: 77%, disagreement: 19, evaluations:

Concerning Belgium we hear and read daily that the pension payments will be at stake because of the aging
people and the lower employment. An EU entity that impose and controlls the savings by each member
country to ensure the payments of the pensions and social security in the future should not be a luxury. It
becomes more and more hazardous to be present in some areas or places because of the ruling streetgangs.
Drugs is one of the causes followed by the ethnic problems. I think that the EU has to emit clear rules about
the dealing of drugs, in particular prohibiting the so-called coffeeshops in Holland and also in respect to the
education and occupation of immigrants.

2561. International Law regarding family, divorces - CHILDREN (importance: 77%, disagreement: 6,

As I said before (having not enough characters to elaborate) the most important problem from my sight of view
is quickly to ameliorate The Bruxelles II bis with referring to the case of ABANDON of the family with sevral
CHILDREN and of 2 nationalities in the 3rd country (means different from their 2 nationalities), so that in this
case (abandon) - not "sejour habituel" is a joint for jurisdiction but these CHILDREN 2 NATIONALITIES is a
joint to choose the right for the interest of the CHILDREN jurisdiction. Always better is to refer to this country,
where is possibilities of their education, have a healthcare - the base. Why I speak about it? As Tribunal of
for me 3rd country, estimated its jurisdiction as a right jurisdiction basing on The Bruxelles IIbis and referring
to last "sejour habituel" (art. 3), and in the same time giving us alimony inadequate to even continue children
education -expensive, healthcare -expensive as abroad but the BASE - so erasing habitual stay, closing
our possibilities "to continue to live in this 3rd country" - but on the other hand anyway arguing its rights of
sticking us to its jurisdiction as based on "sejour habituel"- so an ABSURD. Mon opinion: Pour juridiction
en cas d’abandon joint séjour habituel est un absurde. Tant plus si un pays/Tribunal, utilise cet joint pour

2563. Healthcare: a problem heading for disaster. (importance: 76%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 15)
Healthcare has the same problem everwhere. New technology is made avaiable too quickly to be cost
effective. As such, countries never have enough money to fund it. There is a huge amount of investment going
into medicine at the moment and that is enough. The EU must not fund it any more but must fund medical
technology optimisation instead. This will focus on cutting healthcare costs. Making a huge million-euro
medical scanner cost half the price by intrducing new manufacturing technology will not only save billions in
healthcare expenses but if made in Europe (i.e. Germany) it will bring business back to the collapsing giant.
Sensors and home-care are a great area where such savings can be made. In physics I've seen a paper
(from the Soviet Union actually) that decribed technology by which replaced the bolometer (150$ currently)
with a single MOSFET transistor at the right bias. The transistor costs far less than a eurocent and the biasing
circuitry can be made easily tunable and reusable for many, many other uses. In fact it can be even made
by an amateur if top-notch performance is not an issue. Home-care with the ultimate goal of AI diagnotsic-
treating robo-units will enormously reduce strain on hostpitals. It is just a way of transfering system stress from
doctors and nurses to machines and move the infrastructure to the patient's home where it is more likely to be
able to respond fast.

hazardous materials in cosmetics would be forbidden or even more restricted than it is now. Some say that
small usage of them is ok, but if we think that everyday we use shampoo, cremes, toothpaste, powder... it all

Currently each Member State has his own health system. The doctors’ education, the facilities and

it is not easy or possible to make comparison between the EU countries, in practical life the result of being ill
and getting better after the best treatment depends on the location. I feel this as unfair and I would appreciate
having more homogeneity within EU. Having a more homogenised health system could have many impacts
beyond fairer chance to survive health problem as more travels, more dialogues and more retired person
living abroad. I believe that this could have and important impact on daily lives and quality of life for many EU
citizens.

six years is unable to provide me with the neccessary and attentive medical consultation. I often feel insulted

the EU should focus on everything regarding quality of life for the citizens which has a cross-border aspect; so

confronted by borders which are physically easy to cross, but cause unimaginable - except possibly by Kafka
- difficulties regarding education, work, social security, health care and tax, just to name a few. I know a vast
amount of effort has been expended since the early days on co-ordination of social security, but now that the
most recent effort on 883 is almost finished, I see very little palpable improvement in the lives of citizens as a
result.
2614. crossborder health care issues (importance: 72%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 8)
The EU should further engage in defining a legal framework in which certain rules are laid out and by which
the Member States are held responsible in dealing with crossborder health care issues in a coherent way. This
framework would bring more certainty and a high level of efficiency for the European citizens especially those
living near borders or those looking to get the best treatment available in the EU. For the moment there's still
too many focus on the sovereignty of the states and there is no clear authority within each Member State
about which actor should engage in providing sufficient support and information concerning cross border
health care. I know there are several efforts made with the new directive 803/2004 and the creation of the
new directive on patient mobility, but these projects do not succeed in clarifying enough how the issue of
crossborder health care and the cooperation of social security systems should preferably evolve in the future.
My idea is to create a think tank that hypothetically looks at the health care within the EU within 20 years. One
could then address issues like if it would be worthy to try to reach a harmonisation or convergence to a certain
degree between ALL European Member States social security systems. There's a lot of specialists in the field
of health care who would be willing to participate in such a project.

The EU should foster projects that aim at: 1. Decentralization- Zagreb is "exploding" (too many citizens), the
quality of life is decreasing, alienation growing. By declaring certain regions in Croatia "EU undeveloped/less
developed areas", many smaller towns would have the chance to develop (investments, new employment and
education opportunities, development of health care and cultural life..and in this way their inhabitants would
not be forced to move to Zagreb. 2. The traffic in Zagreb is unbearable. Instead that the local government
strives more towards environmental-friendly solutions to cope with the huge traffic, it supports the building
of garages in the centre of town. Maybe the EU should pass laws which make environmental-friendly
traffic-solution in big-towns a MUST and maybe support them in some countries. 3. Health - Promoting
wholistic/"alternative" health care that can give answers to problems and diseases which are the consequence
of the unbalanced, stressful and complex life of today, also leveling out the quality of service between private
and state health care (in order to prevent that quality health care is accessible mainly to people with higher
income), promoting organic food, promoting gastronomy based on healthy food 4. Politics - Many competent
young people do not enter politics at all, seeing corruption, fight for power/money instead of the ideals for
changing things for the better. Maybe supporting political engagement among the young

I prefer organic (but it doesn't have to be) - but if farm animals are treated decently (no confining into horrible

forbidden, if farmers only get paid when using minimal amounts of pesticides or fertilizers, if they set aside
some part of their fields for wild animals, Europe would look differently, would eat differently, and would be in a
better health situation

In some countries, like Belgium, an extensive healthcare repayment system exists. Unfortunately, some

should get more money if the index rises, but they should not exaggerate!
The EU should encourage countries to adopt uniform health systems in their own countries to avoid the
current 'postcode' lotteries affecting patients and to put a halt to potentially dangerous health tourism.

I spent some in France studying French and international business. I had a health insurance in my country
and I also was extra insured due to potential extra medical expenses. But, when I was ill and had to visit a

Only recently women in Greece have been obliged to leave on pension once they reach the same age as men
and women of other EU citizens. I believe that this is just and fair, laws should be the same for everyone. But
there is also an unfairness embedded here, regarding working conditions and all the state provided services
amongst EU countries for women and those for women in Greece. There are no well organised schools or day
care centres open long enough in order for a working mother to cope. It's practically impossible for a lower
wage employed in the private sector mother to juggle family and work. The EU could push to create a better
daycare system, with people adequately educated that can provide help to families with children and as a
result help create healthy new members of our society.

in the moment it's quite difficult to get pensions from different countries. but as my generation grows older - if

Undoubtedly,a significant percentage of our population in Greece is consisted of elderly and that percentage
is becoming higher in contrast with that of young people,who are the productive part of a society.It seems
that during last decades there has not been a strategic planning of an independent and effective pension
system.Significant funds were lost owing to wrong investments and much more due to misuse and to the
intense corruption.As a result people who are 40 or 50 years old are afraid that the possibilities for a satisfying
pension are dwindling.Matters seem worse for us who have just got into the job market.So something different

I have been working in the Netherlands for 3 years and worked previously in Portugal for 12 years. As part
of a generation of Global Workers, we are moving fast in Europe and we seek high qualified employment
opportunities in the unbalanced work market in EU. Mobility is a new trend but due to the current different
EU systems for pension, it is creating a bottle neck (uncertainty) when it come to decision making to move to
another country. For example I work in the NL and i contributed to a Dutch pension scheme. Since I can not
carry on this arrangement to my next assignment, this is making my life difficult to move again. I don’t know
the arrangement of the next country where i will work in, and i fear than when i reach pension age I will have
to contact all the different country pension organization to get my pension paid. Why don’t You create a EU
Pension system for Global workers that can have a simple arrangement every time they move country ( within
EU)? I happen to know more and more people that are becoming Global workers and we see that this is a
raising question, or should I even say, a problem in each other lives.

One of the solutions against polution is a good structured traffic infrastructure and service. We must

(Switzerland, Germany, Holland). If we can help companies using intermodal (very difficult because
complexity) and provide good infrastructure, we can decrease CO2 till 80 % caused by Transportation. This
also lead to reduced traffic and incidents, especially for Chemical sector. I'm already busy implementing
Multimodal transportation since 15 years, but for now I can only concentrate in 3 countries.

Different countries obviously have different divorce, ancillary relief and children law. The same set of facts may
produce very different outcomes depending upon which country’s law is applied to those facts. Choosing the
best jurisdiction, “forum” for a particular case is a very important decision. The Brussels II Convention doesn’t
include the case ABANDON. Le Code pénal français réprime par l'art. 357 l'abandon de famille, comme délit
sanctionné de peines correctionnelles d'emprisonnement (3 mois à 1 an) et d'amende (300F à 6000F). If
the family is ABANDONED – not séjour habituel doit être joint de juridiction, mais d'abord et premièrement
nationalité des ENFANTS. If I am (1st country) abandoned in the 3rd country with my three little children
by my husband (2d country) who is leaving me and little children going alone to 4th country - IT CANNOT,
MUSN'T BE jurisdiction based on sejour habituel but more appropriate: NATIONALITY OF THE CHILDREN.
No interest, goal, will - is to stay in 3rd country alone with little children if habitually we stayed there ONLY
FOR HUSBAND who now LEFT. So this country SHOULDN'T stick me and my children to be there by using
Brussels II Convention and joint for jurisdiction "sejour habituel". I don't agree. It is NOT in interest of my
CHILDREN. Goal: EU include ABANDON in 3rd country as a different case. "Sejour habituel" IF ABANDON

I believe that the "anti-smoking law" must be applied in the same way in every EU country. For example
there are countries like Italy , the UK etc where smoking is prohibitted everywhere, but there are some other
countries like Greece that they disobey in every EU law regarding smoking without any consequences. An
action must be taken as soon as possible by EU, in order to protect everyones health by this harmful habit.

2678. An EU social security for Expats (importance: 61%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 8)
In some fields of EU law, the EU only has a legal influence on citizens who do not live in their own Member
State. This new generation of Europeans is bound, and should be encouraged to grow. For many expats
now, the social security situation they are in is complicated to say the least. Non-workers and their families
are even required to prove they have sufficient means not to become a burden on the social security system
of their host member-states to be allowed to live there, let alone being socially covered like they would in their
own country. Other Europeans move between member-states and therefore find it very hard to stick to one
public coverage. People whose professional life takes them in many member-states then have to manage
a complicated - and often inferior- retirement pension paid in different and small parts by several national
pension systems. The solution should be a separate social security system for mobile EU citizens. As soon
as an EU citizen resides in another member state than his own, s/he should be able to immediately, and
for as long as he wishes, join a separate system by and for EU expats. This would cover Health insurance,
unemployment schemes and a common retirement fund. People who choose to do this would then be
exempt from payment to national social security systems, and would pay the EU one instead. This would be
economically viable as many Eu expats belong to the higher-paid, while others are young and mobile.

Mr. Baroso, Since European Union was formed, many statistics saw the way of leaving for each European
Country, thus Greece among some others (like Portugal) not only were having to pay more for every day's
commodities such as: Clothing, food, motor cars (heavily taxed)... but also their salaries and pension were
the lowest (still are), thus, crime, theft and drugs are getting dangerous high!! Also to give a change to the
pensioner (without interfearing on his pension) to do any additional work or management as such he can
manage, as here in Greece, we the pensioners are not allowed to do any work any longer!!

economies stay stable. MS can and should move towards together (no regatta principle) and guarantee
that the EU speaks with the one voice in global level too (IMF, UN Sec Council etc). Guaranteeing energy
supply and have common energy policy. Furhter stimulus (direct, fiscal) for renewable energy sources and
applications. Institutions need to promote directly in the MS (creating Media Agency) by adapting message to
national discussion and making it in all official languages. The EU values should form a new school course in

a job in certain fields the gender plays a major role. I don't understand why this keeps happening and EU

Linguistic and cultural diversity is one of the pillars of the European Union. This diversity should be cherished

solely in English, for example in the publication of institutional texts or during press conferences. The EU
should also force its member states into helping their cultural minorities. For example, Flanders still hasn't
signed the ECRML (which is a disgrace). It should help develop tools for learning those languages and using

The respect of human rights should be the basis of our society. In past the emphasis was strongly on the civil
rights. Lately more emphasis - at least among NGO activists - is put to economic, social and cultural rights,
so that today we have a healther and more balanced view. Unfortunately, the society stays behind these
thoughts. Three decades of neoliberalism have been a time of neglecting the social and economical rights of
the world population's majority. Traditionally human rights movement dealt more often with individual rights
than with solidarity, which is equally important for a healthy society. Phylosophy, science, religion - they all tell
us, each using its own wording, that human beings self-actualise only through others. For these reasons I see
human rights and solidarity as a basis for a healthy society in which I would like to live and which I wish for
others.

Western Europe and us. Europe is not united not because of economics, but just live in different worlds with
diffrerent values and life style. I think we should spend much more money to change it.
2714. We need a constitution that is a statement of values only (importance: 88%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 6)
We need a Constitution that is a statement of values only not a definition of how the economy should work. If
you add an economic chapter with national exceptions you have to add a social chapter with teeth that applies
everywhere and without national exceptions.
2715. Human traffiking and human rights (importance: 88%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 9)
Obviously, even though we live in the 21st century, we can see that there's still lack of respect to the human
rights, and especially towards weak categories, for example children. It's clear to see that we, people,
can't understand that we're all equal to each other. We see everyday examples of human exploit ( women,
immigrants, kids, employees ) but it seems that we don't think that it's a very important issue, probably
because it doesn't happen to us. In my opinion the E.U. should pay more attention to the problem of the
human rights' violation.
US offered people this unalienable rights: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. But in fact it was Europe
which abandoned death penalty and imperial wars after very painful experiences, the US offered the liberties
and freedoms, but more like in quantitative manner, we should offer quality - no too much kinds of ketchup
in local supermarkets and poor education which would lead the people to accept the previous as a fulfilment
of a "dream", but the choice based on the deep roots, mutual respect and tradition. The right of pursuit of
happiness, OK, but doesn't the life need the real sense too? The key is to offer more - but qualitatively. The
people and principles of society didn't change too much since American revolution, what is our real advantage
- the possibility to communicate the ideas this way - it's THE real revolution - we don't need to fight each other
anymore to come to some common agreement on basics of the structure of our relationships.

mighty in the past were free and unconstrained citizens.
Europe should become a champion for human rights around the world, without putting the issue aside in
favor of economic or strategic benefits. It should also actively work to improve the human rights situation in its
member countries.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL DUMP !!!! in Andros island, Cyclades, Greece. The three mayors of Andros function
the illegal dump of entire island, in an official archaeological area at STAVROPEDA, where among archaic,
Roman and other monuments, is found the neolithic settlement of Strofilas 4500-3200 B.C. Was discovered
initially in 1994 and is considered the most ancient “CITY” in Europe because of it’s size (25000 m2 with
vaulted and rectancular buildings), organised social structure (TEMPLE, FORTIFICATION wall, harbour),
as well as the developed technological and cultural society (NAVIGATION, gold, and 250 m2 ROCK
ENGRAVEMENTS that render him as UNIQUE OPEN AIR ART gallery)!!!! The DESTRUCTION BECOMES

2724. Cultural exchange especially in regard to young people (importance: 86%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 5)
Why this answer? We could say that especially in Bulgaria, people have too many other issues and negative
situations to deal with, much more "urgent' than the cultural exchange in itself... And effectively, poverty,
corruption, low life quality, unemployment constitute capital priority in terms of politics... Nevertheless, as a
young women and student in Bulgaria, I believe that through cultural exchange, within more flexibility and
ability to make comparisons, young people could be empowered, given them more self confidence pushing
into pro activity and civic participation . While analyzing the current situation in Bulgaria, I'm arriving to the
conclusion that several political and social issues in Bulgaria are grounded on retrograded mentalities unable
to face the today's challenges. I's also valuable for young people because through an unadapted education
and conflictual family relationship in period of crisis we "embody" past and we reduce our horizon to the past.
In so described situation, going abroad, meet others and other priorities could be a liberation in terms of
conscience and civic participation as well.

Without education, culture and justice we are anable to think, to propose, to respect and to reach our plans for

2726. agriculture (importance: 86%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 7)
All agriculture in Europe should be organic. Industrial may be more productive in the short-term, but in the
long term it is non-organic that is most productive in terms of energy input-calorie output, because of how
non-organic agriculture drains the soil of nutrients. Also, industrial agriculture requires far more water, in terms
of the pesticides used, and water is a very precious resource. Also, organic is far healthier and would save
billions in terms of public health issues (carcinogenic chemicals etc) Subsidies to agriculture must be reduced
and no more dumping of agricultural products in third countries. Farmers must receive a fair price and the
monopolistic position of supermarkets must be dismantled so that they no longer receive the biggest 'cut',
indirectly benefiting from EU subsidies and thus EU taxpayers.
2728. human rights and safety (importance: 86%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 14)
Human rights also have a border crossing character, when it comes to themes like human trade. Here,
security also comes in. At the same time, privacy and other human rights should be protected (especially in
dealing with terrorism).

actively promote and safeguard equal rights for all, regardless of gender, religion, appearance (fat/slim),
sexual orientation, race, etc. not just in words but also actively through legislation, education, media, etc.
across Europe and by pressuring / lobbying countries that do not respect human rights (e.g. Iran, Saudi
Arabia, China, Israel, most African countries, etc.)
The erosion of civil liberties in many countries within the EU is scary - particularly in the United Kingdom.
Please implement EU-wide laws to protect civil liberties for when individual governments go too far.
The European Union should also ensure that the same principles on Human Rights apply all over Europe.
Europe has top monitor the situation in the Member States and impose solutions when needed and moniot its
implementation.
2734. Family values (importance: 85%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 11)
If the EU wants people to be emotionally healthy, it has to pay much more attention to family issues: ensure
bigger opportunities for young parents, especially those who study, pay more attention to kindergartens
and the food children eat, perhaps give some support to kindergartens and schools, clean and elaborate
public spaces, like parks. Moreover, there is widespreat violence at schools, it reflects the violence children
see at home. Women are said to be more unsafe at home than on the streets at dark because of violence
against them. So instead of supporting gays the EU should take care of families. Because now they seem
to be discriminated against - supporting gays is a good thing and supporting heterosexual relationships is
considered discrimination. If we support families, if we show that having children is a good thing, if we can
create lives of parents and children interesting, not only will people grow up emotionally healthy, with fewer
divorces and fewer crimes, but also the population of the EU citizens will increase, in this way helping to save
the welfare states.
2735. Human Rights within the EU (importance: 85%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 21)
The EU can ensure via sanctions that Member states uphold human rights for all within their control. By
this I mean, the rights of gays, lesbians, the disabled, the elderly etc. I am aware that in many member
states, mostly the newer ones, that homophobia and other forms of discrimination are widespread. While I
acknowledge that one cannot change a peoples' prejudices overnight, the EU can and should ensure that
such prejudices are not institutionalised in government and government agencies.
2736. Freedom of speech (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 15)
Let the new world communicate without being wiretapped by our own perfect government. The new way
of getting information is by listen to people who describes issues, political , environmental or anything in
the world that interest the reader and the influences the writer gets. There we see the big difference from
"yesterday", now people can read what they are interested in, not the opposite, the government tells us what
they think we are interested in. People also learn to be more critical to sources of information. Everything you
read or hear is far from the truth, even when politicians leave the information.
2737. Projects for multicultural integration (importance: 85%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 11)
More and more Europe is a melting pot, full of different people coming form all parts of the World. The
adaptation is not always easy and problems arise. It's necessary to build integration projects were peolpe feel
welcomed and not estigmatized. Respect for their own beliefs and culture and also to learn from tehir culture
to improve society.
Human rights should be the most export product of Europe!!!!
evaluations: 11)
EU should spend more attention to the matter of human rights, especially in Eastern-Central-Europe.
Since the 2004 and 2007 enlargement the Union adopted many prolems as well, with roots in the last 3
yearhundreds. These unsolved problems (mainly of ethnic and national minorities) often turn into hostility,
with governmental supports. The EU does have to try to show a path, how to handle minorities properly, in
a European way. There's also a problen of positive discrimination. Although that's a matter of the member
states indeed, but the Comission, as having the most influence in the EU should have some words conerning -
and condemning - that. I believ that discrimination (even positiv) should be replaced by giving a helping hand,
social reforms and equality.

2742. civil liberty (importance: 84%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 14)
net neutrality, data protection and strict limits on the use of personal data by public and private actors are
crucial so that our liberal democratic systems can survive. technological advances offer great opportunities
for development, but also contain the risk of surveillance. liberty comes with a degree of uncertainty and
insecurity. this fact must be accepted and communicated by politicians. otherwise trust in the state per se will
be undermined and all efforts to maintain a functional together will be in vain and further reduce the positive
aspects of the system.

2746. gender equality (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 14)
In Turkey, the percentage of women in Parliament is 9,1. The number of women in local governments is
an even more miserable picture. The percentage of women mayors is not even one percent, and in local
municipal councils it is a little bit over one percent. In gender equality, Turkey is placed as 105th out pf 115
countries, behind Ethiopia and Tunus. The reason for this is that the men dominated (patriarchial) society,
seems to give the duty of representation to men, in an anthropological meaning. Women are expected to
comply and be content with the traditional gender roles within the family, from their childhood onwards. Even
when they work, their sphere of dominance is limited only with the borders of their homes. Even in the home,
they are auxiliary and men are the chiefs. This social expectation is undeniable and was even engrained
in law until 2002 when the Civil Code was revised as a result of the demands of more than 125 women’s
organizations. Of course, this mentality constitutes a detterent for women who want to become political
candidates. Additionally, women’s traditional gender roles of taking care of the children, the house, and their
husbands, leave no time and energy for politics, especially when the miserable condition of the social services
in Turkey are taken into consideration: the lack of childcare facilities, the shortness of the paid maternity leave
etc. The same is true when we look at professional, high level positions in public and private spheres
2748. freedom of speech (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 16)
2749. Youth, Agriculture, and respect for each other (importance: 83%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 9)
1) Youth organisations all over Europe are underfunded and at the same time loads of money is spent on
organisations/projects for older people. This should be rectified. 2) Agriculture is the most basic form of work
there is, and without agriculture there wouldn't be any food for anyone. Agriculture should be promoted and
funded, because Europe has to have the ability to foresee itself of food in hard times. If they don't have to buy
their products overseas it will be a lot cheaper, better for the environment, and people overseas will not have
food shortages. 3) Europe is known for its racism and disrespect for different cultures. (eg, "A fortress europe")
So i think the EU should try to promote openmindedness, and organise opportunities for different nationalities,
races etc to mingle, on a large scale.
Respect of Human rights globally is an essential goal, if we want the global community to work.

I'm deeply concerned about the threat of mass moslem immigration present to native european populations.
In 50 years there will be regions in Europe where native european people are going to be ethnic minorities.
Even today certain countries are hard pressed to deal with the problems brought by high volumes of moslem
immigration. The lack of willingness to integrate on European values, ethnic violence, intolerance towards so
called infidels and support for terror. I fear that Europe is facing full scale Palestinezation if the situation isn’t
addressed in the next couple of years. I see multiculturalism as a stepping stone to a new monoculture. Even
we as a Europeans have the right to our own culture and religion. A quick look into countries that have moslem
majority reveals discomforting fact that religious minorities are oppressed and persecuted in those countries.
Even in Turkey, which is considered fairly modern country. I’m deeply disillusioned how spineless direct
postwar generation has become. Cultural sensitivity is more important than our future. In the Great Britain
the situation is, the law isn’t the same for everyone anymore. European politicians have become a legion
of Neville Chamberlains selling our future to multiculturalism and eventual totalitarian monoculture. We’re
being conquered from inside. It’s up to European politicians not to allow ethnic cleansing of European people.
Current politics will lead to a submission or war.

2757. Human rights - culture humanism (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 24)
Never lower the standards when it comes to human rights. The single characteristic unifying all Europeans is
the realization of the firm dignity and worth of all people based on the ability to determine right and wrong by
appealing to universal human qualities. Never accept lowering of these standards but continually raise them
and punish those who do share, respect and practice them, by isolation.
2758. ensuring the fully functioning of human rights (importance: 82%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 19)
Still, human rights remain a problematic issue in many candidate members of EU. As a citizen of turkey, here,
there are deep violations of human rights.Police force still remains as a dramatic societial problem, it is hard
to talk about free media which is an attack to right to access to information, freedom of speech is still far from
being achieved, gay and other marginal groups are subject to maltreatment or sometimes violence,hatred
towards minorities.That s why I think, EU should focus its energy on improving the enjoyment of human rights
ar broad sense.
2759. Promotion of democracy and human rights (importance: 82%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 16)
I think the EU could stimulate the development of democracy in other countries outside the EU. The EU is
the primary focal point of hope of most residents of the western Balkans. The EU should strive to modernize
society both within its own borders, and outside of them. It cannot be allowed that a member state like Poland
wants to enact a law banning gay people to exercise their profession as teachers. Only the EU is strong
enough to protect those people that are not protected by their own society.

that the EU should focus its energies on the clash between people from different cultures, because it is still
tangible, especially in my country.
2768. Gender equality (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 17)
Gender equality is another question to be addressed to. Differences in sex, age, race or religion are not

beeing European. The world is beautiful because it is various!
The EU should try to improve the gender equality in many different ways by offering women the kind of help
they need so that they can fully exploit the potential they have and find a balance between work life and
familty life.

The hungarian constitution states, that: all the power belongs to the ordinary people, to the nation. In reality
the people do not have any power, and the political parties uses this power, against the nation. So while all

by parlament, by poltitical elite, parties and representattives. There is useless to think about the renewal of

I feel there is no sense of being 'European'. Me, as a Dutchman living in Poland it never occurs to anybody
that Europe more and more is not a 'us and them' but an 'us only'. It's great that we stimulate the diversity the
EU has to offer, but we don't focus and stimulate that we are all Europeans (apart from election time). I lived
in many countries in the EU and I truely feel 'European': I speak 5 European languages fluently and I adapt as
much as I can to local culture. But people see me still as a Dutchman, not as a fellow-European. So I would
like to see a more pro-active European Union that stimulates the fact that we are all Europeans and I'm not
talking about the issues that are crossing our national borders, I'm talking about daily life. Be pro-active at
sporting events, cultural events, provide EU radio with local chapters, a European newspaper, a more diverse
TV package other than the very sterile Euronews. Focus on the things that would makes us feel good to be a
European, rather than pointing the finger at issues that makes the EU necessary, but not wanted. Stimulate
initiatives that makes it possible that you can visit, or at least take a sneak peek at neighbours: 'How do they
do it?' Apart from stimulating 'Europeanism' make EU law more universal. One Union, one direction, the same
rules and rights everywhere. It makes things clearer and more understandable to the common man and that

If that is not against fundamental right to dignity of the person, than I don't know what is. I feel that injustice

Europe, concrete and tangible symbols/experiences should be encouraged in order to create the real feelings
needed for an identity. The euro was a good progress in that aspect, but we should go much much further.
One example could be a single European passport, looking the same whatever the country. As education

tends to use force, still there are remarkable restrictions on the freedom of speech, pressures of free media,

the EU countries should not be forced to be overly liberal in relationship with third coutry immigrants. They
must become a part of the national member state culture, and if not, we'll keep getting such results as killings

2824. Export of EU values and experience.Come closer together. (importance: 77%, disagreement: 13,
evaluations: 13)
It is very important to sell what we have-the understanding and value of democracy in the changing world.
EU can not be crude oil or diamond producer, we will not give work to EU citizens with those. But we can give
work to EU citizens by opening the technical assitance, knowledge exchange and other expertise fields to the
Asia and Africa, may be Americas at some extent. We should sell our values as vigorously and metodically,
as Americans have done. This-marketing for the rest of the world, is what EU leaves at hands of its Members
and I think it has proven to be wrong. At the end of the day each Member cares only about its own business.
This is no way to survive the tough times.EU must become cheap in operation and massively effective on
doing things together. This means bureaucrats and paper-minglers must go. Political hair splitting internally
must go and freakish Old school Parliament to be reformed. In short-we have done so well in transforming
the economic interests of 3 big nations to the advance of whole region around them. But it has poured out
into huge and ugly political and bureaucratic incarnations, who have instead become self sustainable and
self-focused at the expense of our tax money. An later does not allow to export the success and values of EU.
And this is why EU can not focus on any aspect of my daily life altogether. This is an irrelevant answer to the
personally irrelevant question, if you may.
2825. European language policy (importance: 76%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 12)
This is not possible to build an Europe where people cannot communicate effectively. There is today no
globally defined policy concerning the languages in Europe (to my knowledge). The fact that England has
made it optional to learn a foreign language in its school is in that aspect an awfully bad signal. The idea 1
+ 2, mother tongue, english + one more language is a reasonable goal, but the means needed to achieve it
should be implemented. That does not necessarily means giving away money, but for example taking Holland
or Flanders as a model for language policy (no dubbing ever, whatever the language appearing in television
for example)

This is also one of the weak points in my view. How can the EU try to promote certain values (democracy,
environmental conscience etc) if these are not better anchored within the EU itself. As long as there is no
consensus and written "philosophy" that is also visible in all member states (also the recent additions), people
will be frustrated

I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to develop my European citizenship during my University years
and now living in a country that is not my own. More people would need to be given that opportunity, which for
the moment is restricted to well-educated segments of society. There may be different ways to achieve that:
a bigger effort to learn foreign languages early on, more exhanges of programs between TV stations, cultural
exchanges for youth in high school, even producing a soap opera of the live in the the European Institutions
that was able to capture both the richness in the 27 member states and the good work that is being made to
advance the European project !!!

English over other languages.

2848. Science, philosophy, music, art, the cornerstone of EUROP (importance: 75%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 14)
Europe as grown from the flourishment of the christian faith to the heights of science. Philosophers, musicians,
artists, scientists have made Europe the best of the places to live with its cultural heritage, tolerance and
social system. We must honour this tradition and heritage taking it to new heights. Investing on Schools and
education, raising moral standards, are the best politics for taking us out of the crisis and making europeans
drivers of the future. Yes, we can.
2849. Freedom of speech and art (importance: 75%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 18)
Current state of technology needs us to redefine terms of intellectual property and 'allowed usage'. The
development of internet gives us never experienced ability to share our thoughts with easiness. Unfortunately,
laws and regulations concerning the flow of knowledge and art are way behind, so as the thinking of big
audio-video companies. They want to block all un-official sharing of art, by using arguments of 'piracy' and
'stealing'. In the history of mankind faced many ways of blocking any communication channels except official.
The difference is, in late times only governments could do this, now there's also business. But in methods
and goals there's no difference - to make people use only 'allowed' routes of distribution. This failed in most
cases. The most important argument used in this battle is that free sharing of - eg. - MP3s 'rapes' artists from
money they should receive. It's incorrect in two ways. First of all, most money artists make on live shows and
everything connected, not the music itself. So sharing MP3s spreads the fame and raises their income. It's not
the ARTISTS who make less profit, it might only be the COMPANIES making CDs. And that's also not true.
There's an example of famous writer, Paulo Coelho, distribution of his books over P2P resulted in BIG raise of
sold paper version. It's realy, only a matter of redefining the business model. They fear to do that, but why we
all have to pay for their incompetence?

2851. Violation of Human Rights in the Czech Republic. (importance: 74%, disagreement: 18, evaluations:
12)
Czech Republic is violating its own constitution by discriminating against Czech Americans in restitutions of
property stolen by Communists and in other benefits in which these people are also discriminated against. The
European Union is not trying to resolve this problem and is turning a blind eye because it incorporated article
no 295 into the Agreement about European Communities which proclaims that the EU will not interfere in
any property disputes in its member states. The same article appears as no. 345 in the Treaty of Lisbon. This
was another reason why the European Court for Human Rights refused the claim for the return of property
to Czech Americans and never ruled against the CR in property disputes. In this way the EU favors the past
and present unlawful and anti-Constitution stealing of private property. Jan Sammer, Secretary of Czech

2854. Managing inter-cultural relations at all levels. (importance: 74%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 10)
I think that one of the pressing issues in Europe (as well as beyond) is the challenge of successfully managing
inter-cultural relations. This, I think, depends on the type of citizenship envisaged within states as well as the
promotion of respect, tolerance, equality and equity. It also depends upon increasing people's awareness of
other histories, cultures and religions.

The authorities of Lithuania absolutely do not respect the Human Rights. The Mr Adamkus often speak about

in Lithuania. The lithuanian court is a clear example of these violations, where is a lawlessness and disrespect
to european laws every day.

2860. EU enlargement, islamization (importance: 74%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 7)
I think that it is time to stop EU enlargement. Why? 27 countries already and few more are coming. Brussels
have become a huge bureaucratic machinery and it really doesn't help to work as one strong organization.
With new member countries there will be even bigger mess. However, I do agree that it is essential to help
Central and Eastern European countries to cooperate with Europe, probably even without a full membership
in EU. This cooperation is possible either by financial assistance, or by education of leaders of Post Soviet
countries. Even if there are more gains from the cooperation with those countries, the dissatisfaction in the
minds of Europeans will remain high as it is in a situation with Turkey. The EU must clearly define - how far
will the enlargement go? Is Turkey Europe? Not geographically!

2863. promotion of multicultural society (importance: 74%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 14)
There are various cultures in Europe. On one hand they have a lot of common features (history, religion etc.).
On the other hand they are each different. EU should promote the interactions between the people having
different cultural backgroungs in as many fields as possible (e.g. education, employment, hobby (not only
sport)) in order to: 1) provide the EU citizens an opportunity to learn from the other cultures, 2) provide them
a view on their culture from the outside, 3) make their everyday life more colorful trough discovering the other
cultures. OR simply give the EU citizens an opportunity to benefit from the cultural variety.

2868. Interstate commerce, basic human rights. (importance: 73%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 13)
I believe the EU's only mission should be regulating interstate commerce. Nothing else. How each state
decides to operate within it's borders should be it's own business, not that of its neighbors. I also believe
that the EU should consist only of thoroughly democratic countries that have respect for basic human rights.
Therefore the EU should monitor that very basic human rights are guaranteed to all citizens of its member
states. That's all. The EU should have no other rights or duties.
2869. de bureacratization, easier trade, less gender fascism (importance: 73%, disagreement: 26,
evaluations: 3)
EU should refrain from all forms of social engeneering, especially mad gender control like gender
mainstreaming. This theories behind this is based on mad marxist feminism from the 197os. Women in the
West are not class victims, they redproduce more than men, they live longer, they are not forced into death
professions, etc. Allthough it has become easier, there are still too many trade barriers and especially for
small or medium sized businesses. EU should concentrate on the essential, make trade easy but stay away
from more regulation of the individuals.

to achieve goals in life: family, health, social security and peaceful living in harmony with neighbours. Since
decades it's really hard to find jobs to old people, not so old: I mean even under 50! This the same for young

There is a too high price difference from what is paid to farmers and what consumers are paying in the

this system will not be sustainable in the future, unless there are food tracing system, including the distance
covered by the food, producer name, place of origin, presence of pests and so on. Moreover it should be

The Internet gives us the unique ability to communicate and publish ideas and information in a n
unprecedented way. This free flow of information scares especially older people. They are thus trying to
regulate the net, which effectively means to bury one's head in the snow. The net is a mirror of the real world,
censoring information will only hide problems, not solve them. It was designed to withstand a nuclear war,
therefore censorship will probably never be successful, only against uneducated (in technological terms)
citizens. Until now the EU has not endorsed censorship on the net, various member states did. In my opinion,
the EU should take a stance against such things. In order to become a leading power in the world, the EU
needs this free flow of information and creativity. If criminals and terrorists use them for their puroposes, the
internet shall be used to track them down and deal with them in the real life. Forcing the terrorist to read about
bombs in a library won't stop him from building one, but it'll take away the possiblity to educate themselves on
such issues from law-abiding citizens. It will also not save any child if child-pornography is blocked on the net.
It can transmitted through encrypted ways or even real life mail. On the other hand censorship could be used
to influence public opinion and weaken our democracy. Don't allow that!

My impression is, that there is not enough commitment in bringing the east cultures near to the west societies.
This is an very old problem since the Roman Empire was divided in East and West Rom. There are two
completely different views of the world. It is a big misunderstanding, that Europe is united because of the
same religion. We live in an special time in the history of the world and have the chance and responsibility to
fix the mistakes of the past generations. I don't know the instruments, which has the EU, but there should be

Europe must protect its values, meaning freedom, democracy, transparency. Europe has fought for these
values so long and now when everything is going so well, it must not fall asleep, but has to be fully awaken a
see what dangers are on the way. Europe must stop letting the different culture to invade our land. The other
cultures will never assimilate nor integrate. They are simply different cultures who developed during many
centuries or many thousand of years. We must stand for our European values and protect them. We must
not be blind and think that we can invite everybody to Europe. Because it can mean in few decades that we
will face really difficulties in everyday life, on streets, at home, at work. Do not let enter the Turkey to the EU,
protect our values and stop with trying to integrate different cultures, it does not work. Let´s pay the people

EU should take a greater responsibility for promoting gender balance-issues across Europe. This is a win-win
situation for the union. As today, the EU is known by its four freedoms (which of course is a good thing), but
a EU known mainly as a free market promoting organisation will never win over the big groups of electors
and people in Europe. One first step is for the European Parliament to actively promote gender issues and
gender balance. For example it must be possible to demand a percentage of female representation in every
parliamentary election list. By stating this, it would be more easy to promote the elections as well.

I am aware of the fact that the EU supports already students to learn not widely spoken languages, for

your studies abroad and successfully completed the EILC course, there is no programme that supports you in
continuing your efforts in learning a new language. You have to finance it yourself and learning languages like
Greek is rather expensive compared to languages like Spanish or French. The EU should subsidize language
courses in all of the member states in order to ensure a real language diversity in Europe!

I would like to see each country in Europe ascribe to the principles found in the 1948 Universal Declaration

conscience, to practice or not practice a belief system of their choice, and to change their belief if they choose.
All religions should occupy a level playing field with all having the same rights, the same access to registration,
privileges to build places of worship and other rights accorded religions.

language in common. English seems to be the best feasible language to promote.

A country like the Netherlands that is very liberal is handing in lots of its liberal achievements due to the
fact that large muslim communities do not accept certain liberties. As a gay man myself I face the constant
discimination by muslim people in my city. This varies from verbal to physical aggression. It's time that Europe
faces these problems and tries to educate people with this religion and helps them adjust better to our culture
and not let them live in their own ghettos which doesnt help them to integrate.

I have been wondering why is it so difficult to find in formation on European movies. Every country has(or
rather not) their own film archives and some kind of internet portal for it. Why don't we establish an European
Film Archive portal, like the IMDB which recognizes only American movies. This portal would give information
on all national films/directors/actors etc. And all this in every european language.
2930. Language equality (importance: 65%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 11)
English is unequal. Most europeans, especially from different language families such as Latin and Slavic
languages, Hungarian, Finnish are at a disadvantage to compete for positions and employment with english
speakers. English is a non-intuitive illogical language that is impossible to pronounce for most and should
not be a working language within EU. There are other much more equal and efficient alternatives such as
Esperanto.
2931. Culture, justice, education and good will would erase egoism (importance: 65%, disagreement: 26,

Looking vertically at the issues I noticed to different words that were not, at the first vue connect with the rest,
but thinking better they were to far advanced... sometimes the most simple are the most complex.... If egoism
didn´t exist we wouldn't need EU, there would be justice, comanded by cultural issues and great education
values, shared by all, in a permanent contact between different countries and people. If all this conditions were
observed there would be peace, love and respect... but this If is to ideal to come true, lets just believe... that
we can?
2932. Encourage deeper integration with a single language (importance: 65%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 7)
A single language would facilitate greater integration and would provide the EU with a completely mobile
workforce which it currently does not have. This is something that will inevitably occurr and so should be
welcomed and accepted with all the benefits that come with it. Benefits would include a hugh financial saving
of the cost of translators, it would be easier to explore the culture of the other 26 countries.

The EU should contact directly its partipants in a comprehensible, straigtht ot te point language. Mr. Obama
has understood that. I understand that organiszing referenda on every issue is impossible, but hte Eu
emplyees live in a bubble. Once we have elected our representatives, we don't know very much over what

It is not the first time that the system has been undermined and brought economy to collapse. So, shouldn't
there be a new system being instaured, beyond capitalism and communism, instead of trying to save the
Titanic. Second thought: the system is the right one! However people living within do not behave like humans
with ethical values. There's obviously something wrong. The values, the system, maybe both?
2937. Culture Clash (importance: 64%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 11)
Unfortunately, as much as some cities (London, Brussels) may be as cosmopolitan as we wish them to be,
there are minorities (within that community) that are discriminated against even by the administration of the
country. Mentality is something that can only be changed over time so overcoming a racist culture can only be
done through thorough education with the young and old alike
Stop the regions demanding more language investments, we have enough of them
2939. Social integration & Intercultural Dialogue (importance: 64%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 15)
Although going through the financial crisis is so difficult along with other economic matters that affect our daily
lives, I suppose that these are temporary problems that can be solved within a few years. What I find more
important is the urgent need to have a successful integration of the third country nationals in the European
Society. By integration, it shouldn't be forgotten that this must be a bilateral process involving also the peoples
of the EU. Keeping in mind that the number of migrant people are drastically increasing thanks to both high
birth-rates and continuing immigration, the EU should not underestimate the importance of the issue and
invest more time and energy on this issue. Because unless strong/well-analyzed policies are found and
carried out, the most important issue that the EU will have to tackle with after no longer than 10 years will be
the problems with those people.

No feasible effort should be spared to protect members and their natural interests on World stage versus

2945. Re-localize agriculture (importance: 62%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 10)
Agriculture has always been heavily subsidized, with the result that the biggest potential earners (i.e.
cultivating the largest areas or breeding the largest herds of cattle/flocks of poultry) always catch the biggest
amounts, whereas they do not necessarily need the help. The commonly admitted consequence is a totally
de-regulated market, where retail prices are not dictated by actual production costs, but by demand and offer
rules. This has led among other things to peasants in third world countries giving up subsistence agriculture to
mass produce mono-cultivated soy beans to feed western cattle. It defies human understanding that a lamb
raised in New-Zealand can be brought over to EU and still cost less than one from Texel or the Mont St Michel,
for instance. The costs are here hidden, totally obliterated by subsidies and mutualization of transportation real
cost (and this includes ship or airplane pollution). In order to achieve a fair re-localization of our agriculture, we
need to set up a measuring device that enables us to have a clear picture of "real costs". Any country refusing
to provide those real costs would face duties corresponding to an assessed production real costs value. It
must be made the norm that food products are originated from the nearest suitable growing area. Buying
baby animals in one country, raising them in another and selling them in a yet another one should be avoided.
Gradually, prices should adjust worldwide to sensible values.

2946. Re-define values: responsibility (importance: 62%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 10)
The EU should try to bridge the gap between different religions of its members states, e.g to ask what
"responsibility" means for Christian, Jewish or Islamic people (just to mention a few). This will be just a start
to help to bridge cultural and religious differences. Why not ask children in the kinder garden and in primary
schools about this and then cascade this into the "adults world"?
2947. Will Europe support there own agriculture in the next 50 yea (importance: 62%, disagreement: 31,

Hello, I think that I will be very important that Europe remain the support at there own agriculture. A country

responsible for there own food, they came into trouble. greetz Van der Sypt Piet - Belgium
2948. Promoting european culture (importance: 62%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 12)
The acceptation of UE go trough a connexion between people. Each citizen have its own past and its own
tradition. But these local aspects do not have hide the european belonging. Make an emphasis of a real
european culture will for sure create a link between all these different people. That could make people answer
fisrt at the question "where do you from?" : Europe, instead of saying commonly France, Germany, Slovenia or
wherever. I think UE citizens need a cohesion feeling. Promoting an european culture could be a good way to
success!

2950. Improve human relationships (importance: 62%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 8)
Most of the problems here rise from a lack of empathy amongst people. Every problem seems to start there,
from road aggression to finding a specialist that cares to detect a medical problem, from customer service
to getting decent legal help. As an invalid, I know what it's like to survive a lack of empathy amongst people.
Starting at the basis will make this society a better one.
2951. Différences des cultures (importance: 61%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 2)
Les différences de culture mais aussi de richesses font que tous les pays doivent rapidement arriver au même
niveau, comme l'Espagne ou la Grèce ont pu rapidement rejoindre le niveau de la France et de la Grande
Bretagne.
Though all languages of the members states of the EU are considered as official languages, English is the
more powerful one, mainly, for historical reasons. I see all the practical aspects of the case and the difficulty
to treat all languages in the same way. Nevertheless, to my opinion, EU must recognise the significant role
of other languages spoken by european "minorities", as Greek language, for example. The evolution of
European thought and culture is considerably due to the greek language. Why not greek as the fourth work
language of European Union? It would be the proof that language=culture and culture = language...If we
believe it.

2960. Neoliberalism. Democracy. Local culture. Transpar. Welfare. (importance: 57%, disagreement: 28,
evaluations: 18)
Most EU documents, esp. the Lisbon treaty, express neoliberal thinking. This is only one possible ideology, it
should not be enthroned as eternal truth. EU is too large. Democracy works best when decisionmakers are
close to citizens. EU could work well as coordination of certain large issues between sovereign states. The
current efforts to make it into a superstate are terribly dangerous, for democracy, equality, citizen participation,
general welfare, alienation, etc. But if it must become a superstate, it should at least be a democratic one! And
not a clumsy hybrid, as envisioned by the Lisbon treaty and the previous proposed constitution. If we compare
with the USA, we can see that its democratic institutions are weak and citizensä participation very low, in
spite of a democratic constitution. EU is even larger and would therefore find it even more difficult to maintain
meaningful communication between its institutions and among its citizens. Furthermore, the EU has a problem
the USA does not, namely various languages and very varied local customs and histories. This would not
necessarily impede peace and collaboration, but it requires fine tuning if it is not to destroy local societies, and
as to political debate, a Europe-wide common public debate would have to be built up, in spite of the many
communicative difficulties. As long as serious suggestions are not put forward for how these problems can be
solved, I think my life would be a lot better if EU were scrapped!!
2961. one language (importance: 56%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 9)
I think it's important for everyone to speak the same language (next to their native language). It could be
sorted out which language is the best for it: English, Spanish, French, German, Esperanto, Latin. It will
improve the exchangeability of people if we start to educate them at a young age
2962. Common EU Identity (importance: 55%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 13)
EU citizens are proud in their heritage and traditions. There is a need for a common European identity for
every citizen in the EU. A share identity and values that define all people in the EU; but also segments us as
Europeans.
2963. Religion, Divorce, Abortion (importance: 54%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 16)
Finally we should be free regarding abortion and divorce. Malta is a strong catholic country and both issues go
against our morals. We should not be obliged to introduce things which go against our beliefs. Neither should
we be obliged to remove signs which mark us a country such as crosses etc
2964. religion (importance: 54%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 9)
IMO responsible for many of today's problems; is historical I know but while everyone should have the
freedom to believe whatever, politics and civil administration ought to be secular - without compromise.
2965. European Language and Culture (importance: 54%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 10)
Before a European government can become successful people must start to think that they are Europeans
and not for example that they are "just" Austrians. This can be achieved through common values across
Europe such as a hymn or flag. Further a unique language like English in de United States might be required
(because we have too many language in Europe, which makes communication in Europe difficult). Note that
German is the most spoken language in Europe. English is spoken by a minority. Nevertheless the decision
on one unique language should be made by the European people in an election or at least by the European
parliament.

All Europe is dependent from oil and gas extracted mostly in not politically stable and democratic countries.
Europe should focus on using as efficient as it can its natural resources: wind, water, and waste to be less
dependent on oil products. It is not only the economical benefit for the country, to keep money in the country,
and not to spend them on import, but it is an ecological issue too. Using more renewable resources means

E.U. encouraged people to use solar energy for their own homes, by funding part of the investment, a big relief
would be given to the economy. All the Greek islands, along with many other places around the Mediterranean
can produce enough Solar, Wind, and Geothermal (Nisyros, Mylos, etc.) energy to power not only themselves,
but most of the mainland. The island of Samso in Denmark is a perfect example, and projects like that should
be done all over the Mediterranean, which can above all others, use solar energy better than anywhere else in

Climate change is one of the most serious issues that will affect the average EU citizen, regardless of
whether that citzen believes it is an overiding issue in their daily lives. The EU can be of great use in the
area of energy effiency and usage through funding research and development in effiency technologies,
harmonising Member State rules on energy production standards and public campaigns regarding energy

The recent gas crisis hit many European countries hard, where citizens suffered without being able to do
anything about it. It also proved the lack of solidarity among member states and highlighted the importance
of a common energy policy. The EU needs to step up and ensure that Europe has access to the energy
resources it needs, by placing particular emphasis on renewable energy. The EU should not only provide
funding for investing in renewable energy, but also bring pressure to bear on the member states to reduce
their oil dependency and improve energy efficiency. This is a matter that has consequences on other fields of
politics and undermines the unity of the member states. Therefore, coordination is necessary on a European
level and only the EU can plan and supervise the implementation of inter-european energy projects, as well as
the interconnection of existing infrastructure.

I heard a lot about the possibilities to build a mega electricity grid in the EU, with the latest technology of

Europe, so that renewable energy can be produced where the natural circumstances are at best (e.g. solar
energy in the Spain, hydro energy in Scandinavia and the north sea, ...). The electricity could be produced
where it is the cheapest, and be transported to where it is needed. This would help countries that do not have
enough environmental factors to produce renewable energy to meet the 20-20-20 targets, or even go beyond.
Some scientists even speak of building solar energy in the Sahara and transporting the electricity to Europe. It

Energy consumption in the EU is a key factor for our development as we do have to import most of it;
on the other hydrocarbons do have an impact upon climate. In this light, the EU should model a strategy
equating the twin challenge of climate and energyconsumption/supply to be emulated globally. The EU
should tailor a common model stimulating further the renewable energies portfolio to foster sustainble
develpment and growth; diversify its energy supplies; undundle the enrgy sector in order to avoid the EU
resorting to its intergovernamental cocoon whenever a mojor problem arises; and re-design its "near abroad"
and enelargment policies. It is obvious Russia did resort to realist and double standard policies and "tit-
for-tat" tactics, whilst using the energy supplies as a foreign policy lever. The EU needs to build a common
stance, speak more in tune internally in order to rise as a powerful international actor able to stable Europe
eastwardly. The last energy crisis is a sign to be carefully pondered in the equation energy production-transit-
consumption. It is about time to realise Russia is an unvoidable partner to be handled subtely and that it
ready to take any sort of action to be the major actor worldwide on the assumption Putin is right when he says
Russia holds the biggest natural gas and oil resources. To sum up, it important that the EU learns quickly "how

proximity agriculture (short distribution networks)
There is a clear need for incentives and drives towards the use of green energy in the EU. By motivating
countries and intensifying the exchange of technology and the general knowledge, we will find a viable
solution to the environmental issue. Moreover, one should better focus on green issues in a time of economic
crisis. Let's be realistic: we will not win against the BRIC countries in the heavy industry sector. Let(s put
more efforts towards green energy and industry but also in the education in this sector. My brother wants to
study it but the possibilities are blurry and not clear. By orienting the whole society toward a new mode of
consumption, towards products with a lower environment footprint it will kick start our economies, create jobs

3076. Energy consumption. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 13)
The EU should entice/impose a constant reduction in energy consumption. -new buildings should be energy
neutral or positive. This can be achieved by promoting local low impact micro power plants (wind, solar, or
whatever local natural resources combined with heat pumps) -vehicles should decrease in fuel consumption
instead of getting heavier due to extra technology on board: all the gainings on fuel efficiency are annulled by
the extra weight of "safety features". We need lighter vehicles than run on 1 liter/100 km. Accidents can be
reduced by better education. Primary school teachers can introduce the subject of speeding and tailgating as
"bad behaviors". It is proven that adults change when their kids at the back claim their parents aren't driving
safely. This has to be achieved by pressure exerted over the car manufacturing industry (e.g. punishing VAT
levels for brands whose average fuel efficiency don't drop by a given percentage between succeeding years;
they will soon focus on lighter cars, less electronic gadgetry and cleaner engines), and rethinking the role of
primary school teachers, emphasizing civic attitude.

strategy view isn’t good. I know, for now alternative energetic is not so cheap and effective as we need, but
researches not stopping today and I’m believe that on 2018 year scientist find more efficient and cheaper way
to use alternative energy. I’m thinking, for now I can’t change something in my country politics plans, but EU

The most important thing today is the energy. The EU should continue researching nuclear fusion power,
printable solar power based on plastics and other efficient energy sources. The key is to get the most efficient
power, not the cheapest! Waste energy is a problem, so efficiency is of top priority. We should not use the
USA as raw model for the EU. Let freedom reign. Safety is not that important. It's not political correct, but
generally it's better to have some deaths than a union living in fear. If all would just ignore "terroist" attacks,
the terrorists would have no reason to attack us, because their killing would not have any effect. I guess this
would prevent bombings etc. Of course we're made believe that the terrorists are killing invidels and doing
this for religous reasons, but the people who equip and instruct them surely do this for politcal reasons only.
Also political transparency is very important, as is the independenc of state and religion. We may not combine
those. But the EU has so many different religions that I think it's very improbable that this could happen.

gas (get energy from several bad countries is better than from just one). - Diversifying the sources of Energy,
alternatives such as wind and hydroelectric, but also nuclear power.

solar energy and wind energy equipment should be cheaper ,with no tax or lower tax than other products.
In many places with high sunshine most of the year or high wind areas should be able to produce their own
energy or more of 50% of energy needed.and even when you want to spend money in solar energy etc the
government should be able to give permission with less paperwork needed!!!this is the worst part of the whole
theme.anyone who wants to install such equipment is obliged to go around government offices at least one
month!!!
Green energy is already a hot topic on EU level. A great problem is that appearantly a large amount of money
is spent on the wrong kind of green energy. Why is solar power being encouraged that much, when scientific
studies show that solar panels cost too much (not for the subsidated consumer, but in general) to pay off, and
still costs a lot of non-green energy to produce these solar panels. Solar panels become less efficient every
year. In contrast to wind energy. Only the gear wheel of a wind turbine needs replacement after a while, but
the created energy stays the same every year. Also, to provide the same amount of green energy than one
wind turbine, a whole field of solar panels has to be placed. Besides from the nucleair energy that is still the
greenest way in proportion to the amount of energy it creates, wind energy should be encouraged so that
more constructors of these wind turbines enter the market and they compete to create an even better wind
turbine.
renowable energy must begin to play an ever increasing part of europes energy supply - for the sake of the
climate and its independance in forgin affairs, russia, the middle east etc. etc.

The creation of EU ETS is quite a good decision and implementation of a motivation mechanism for the

10 EUR/t. The emission certification methods are used only on paper and present abstract results. There
are technologies that will be applicable only if direct measurement is applied. In addition, there are vast
amount of money invested by the EC for examination and possible implementation of carbon capture and
storage technology, which is too expensive and too risky to be applied.. ever. There is a need of examining
not only one technology related to GHG and climate change, but exactly the oposite - the EC should support

In my country, Greece, there's practically no interest for using new types of energy to exploit. Greece is so

kind of campaign as to inform the citizens and especially the people who are occupying with industry and
business, about the other forms of energy and how they could facilitate our lives and avoid the environmental
pollution. Another fact that aggravates the situation is the absence of places where there could be a sanitary
burial or process of wastes. Unfortunately here in Greece these places are extremely rare and that's another
factor that doesn't help the protection of the environment.

Much more energy needs to be put into making individual transport more environmentally-friendly, the streets

protection. And nuclear energy must not be the key solution. More sustainable, renewable sources must
be promoted. Institutional reform in the end is the key for a functioning, understandable political and
administrative structure for the EU. Without a slimmer, more democratic structure, public support will always
remain as sadly low as it is right now.
Energy is the key to a lot of modern problems. I myself am not a very green person but recycle, don't trow

problem with renewables is to stabilise the grid, but if we convert petrol cars to electic cars that are able to

what if it does not have money or simply forgets because this situation was not here before. I believe that the
EU should show its solidarity to the most on energy import dependent states more obviously. It should work
on interconnecting pipelines and electricity networks between the countries and make its projects public. In
Slovakia politicians blame the EU for fake solidarity with only those who do not need it. Maybe an international

Europe has the ability to become energy independent with the right innovation... As a bloc there is no problem
in becoming energy independent (and without excessive use of outdated nuclear technology). Once this is
managed, then the bloc, as a whole can have a real, tangible, and sustainable competitive advantage. This
is a key requirement. We all know about the theoretical "Gains from trade" (from Richardo et al). However,
this is lazy. This makes us lazy. Without scarcity, we lose our ability to innovate. We need a challenge to
overcome. If we don't think about overcoming those challenges, we will no longer be able to overcome them
when they really arise. So, how do achieve this? We do it by creating a new innovative industrial base. We
self-regenerate. Specifically, we must ask: what can be done to help small businesses get up and going, or
get to the next stage of growth, employ more people, and help the economy? - The first answer we have -
hand out the tools... Arrange schemes whereby small companies / individuals could get access to useful and
interesting tools (often software) at a price that makes sense (Pay-per-play)... It may sound trivial, but the
costs are not that trivial. There are a number of good reasons for this... Competition (they have it in China!),
Scale (in a small company, multi-tasking is absolutely essential), Self-regeneration (tools have changed, and
are needed) - Then - use the competitive advantage to do more...

3144. Green Energy (importance: 80%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 13)
I would like to see the EU pass more stringent legislation concerning simple things such as light bulbs, for
example. I am amazed and shocked to see how little interest there seems to be in safeguarding our future
upon this Planet. One does not need to look far to get to studies that show the exponential rise of CO2 caused
directly by human activities. LEDs, for example, use 10% of the energy that current incandescent light-bulbs
use and are noticeably safer than the mercury-containing alternatives that are currently being hailed as the
next best thing. In addition to this, I am more and more outraged by the EU attitude towards agriculture and
our overall food consumption chain. Walking down the aisle of any supermarket is truly a pain as almost 90%
of produce come from afar. Bringing them to our insatiable plates requires so much energy and creates so
much unnecessary pollution that the whole process seems totally absurd. I would like to see the EU get really
tough on this issue, but I recognise that it is politically way too sensitive to make it past any first steps. I wish
the EU politicians would be able to see further than their noses and actually work for the people and this single
Planet we live upon and not just their own insatiable desire for wealth and comfort.
3145. Consumer potection, energy and climate change, minorities.. (importance: 80%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 14)
The EU should focus on providing education/information to people related to enery saving, waste recycling,
water recycling, etc. As I am ure people will be willing to stick to the recommendations, provided they have
information. Pollution, and the exhaustion of natural resources, greenhouse gas emissions are things we
all should care about. Also focus in public health sector - food labels, ingredients /min levels og GMS/, toys,
cosmetics safety, disease prevention, campaign for healthy lifestyle. All these things are to fight two of the
problems of modern Europe - aging and obesity. And of course the safety of population. More information
about people mobility /working, studing/ in the EU. Programmes stimulating creativity and innovation. More
facilities and social integration for disabled people. Programmes on gender and race equality. Agianst sexual
harrassment at work. Stimulating creativity and innovation. Introducing biofuels in the coutry and educate
about fuel saving.

there is a need to improve cooperation within EU in order to provide to all states equal, high level of energy
security
3148. Energy, Economics (importance: 80%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 16)
There should be a combined energy politics in Europe. And a combined economy politics.
I would have liked to say foreign policy, but I'm not that crazy to believe that the old thoughts of the EU fathers
and grand-fathers ever can be achieved. I think that EU's in a great position to pump money and incentive into
green policies we desperately need today. Especially building regulations could be greener and states could
ofer help for people who want to make their house a little greener. Windpower is also a great idea. Although
it's uggly, itn deffinitely looks like a good option.

3152. Safe and green energy. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 15)
Why the wind and sun energy is so expensive? It's because no suficcient R&D is involved. So we must focus
on leverage of efectiveness of renewing energy instead of fosile fuels. And atomic energy is also an option for
a while. But instead of spending money on fusion reaction research lets to spending on wind, sun energy.
3153. environment, green energy and energy independence (importance: 79%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 11)
i think the main focus of the european level today should be in the environmental issues and green economy.
a relance of the european economy should be possible in a sustainable way. also, as recent incidents have
proven, energy independence is important. why not go for energy independence with green energy and very
ambitious projects? look at some small scale projects that are happening in iceland today (nattura!).
15)
The E.U should work towards a united power policy that allows all member states to benefit from the
technological advances of other states that make energy cheaper and/or more environmentally friendly.
It should also promote green energy more aggressively and and strongly discourage older, polluting
technologies such as coal.
3157. Create energy from waste, in a sustainable way. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 16, evaluations:
6)
Turning all kinds of waste can have a great impact on CO2 reduction, prolong the availability of fossils for
raw materials in stead of burning it. Some of it can be done locally and thus reduce the need for extra power
lines; the local visibility will also be a way to involve the local people in improving their awareness for the
environment. Even better, turning costs into profits!

3158. Energy Security - make energy a common European policy (importance: 79%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 10)
Although there exists already activity from the side of the European Union in the energy sector, still the
member states of the European Union have the biggest say concerning their energy policy. Following the
principle of subsidiarity, a policy should be dealt with at the level at which it can be pursued most efficient -
for the energy sector this has changed in the last years to become the European level. Both with regard to
diversification of energy supplies, environmentally-friendly energy and energy-saving, as well as from the
perspective of energy providers - Russia, OPEC, the Middle East Europe is the most efficient level, and only
a common European Policy can be succesful: 1) With regard to environmental aspects Europe has always
had a strong stance. This clearly makes sense; because rivers or clouds do not stop at borders. This policy is
easiest to explain to citizens as the positive aspect of a European policy here becomes visible at once. Also
concerning energy strong environmental effects are involved. A more environmentally-friendly energy policy
in one member state still may be contradicted by a less environmentally one in another state, taking away
positive effects. 2) Europe as a whole has much more bargaining power vis-à-vis other states than individual
member states could have. Therefore the Commission should negotiate for the side of the EU with energy
providers. This would give Europe a more unified voice!
3159. Focus on the problem of energy sources, diversification (importance: 79%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 21)
Help Eastern European countries to depend less on Russian energy and natural resources, don't demand
Eastern Europe to close their nuclear power plants, if they can't afford anything else without getting more
dependent on Russia, getting more depts and worse life conditions.

a big future invironmental change through europe due to engine oil,petrol and other liquid form petrol derived

3164. Smooth but firm transition to renewable energy. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 23, evaluations:
14)
Whether to debate if men is really responsible for a possible climate change or not (different opinions exist),
cleaner and independent energy will benefit us all. Not only for the (obvious) importance of a more healthy
living environment, but also economically. The best way to achieve this would be - in my humble opinion
- to look at the current and future energy needs, and shifting budget from the least cost-effective energy
investment into the creation of industrial think-tanks, that would then provide their knowledge to the industry,
for them to productize. All this, while maintaining the better cost-effective energy, even if we know this form of
energy (e.g. nucleair, but I'm not the expert) will last only for a certain transition period...
Make sure Europe has a secure supply of energy. This possibly means less reliance on outside sources of
energy and the aggressive development of internal energy sources... preferably clean ones!
3166. Energy independence (importance: 79%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 10)
We should spend money on wind farms in England, Solar in the southern countries, and Bio in the North and
hydro power wherever available. Eastern countries still have a lot of potential for this. The gas dependence
on Russia and other countries should be reduced and eventually eliminated, even if this means building more
nuclear plants.

314

3168. The acess to renewable sources of energy (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 13)
I think that all EU should incentivate more and more its citizens to have renewable sources of energy, by
making afordable to get the equipments necessary to that, since they're very expensive. For exemple in
Southern Europe countries to fully fund the instalation of solar panels, and for exemple in nothern Europe
regions the instalations of small turbines to produce energy locally. Or if not in a individual way, to promote
together with the local authorities the management and acquisition of those equipments.
the EU has to become autark and independent through renewable energy. It has to abolish nuclear energy.
Never again should there be a gas crisis like in 2006 and 2007 and 2009. crisis reaction mechanisms, storage,
diversification of sources, energy efficiency, removal of light bulbs, prohibiting plastic bags, etc that all shoudl
be done
3170. Illegal Immigration and energy alternatives (importance: 78%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 14)
Illegal immigration is indeed one of the biggest challenges Maltese society is facing. Its repurcussions are
being felt in other EU countries and EU can't remain inactive. Other European countries need to share the
burden of illegal migration. Also, energy alternatives are the way forward to restore our world! We need
energy alternatives incentives.

research and capital should be invested in technology that makes alternative energy more feasible for
domestic use.
3177. The realisation of opening the energy market in Europe (importance: 78%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 4)
It should be adapted to the average income of a nation. There are countries where the citizens have to pay
way too much for their energy (water, electricity, ...) and there a countries where everything is really cheap. I
think there should be a standard price for every form of energy in every country that's a part of the European
Union.

315

As soon as possible we should stop the monopoly of energy and growing prices in this sector. For example,
Ignalina nuclear power sell energy for 6 cnt/kWh, however citizens pay 37 cnt/kWh. And there is no arguments
for such price which becomes higher almost 9 times..this is the result of energy monoply. Is it fear that we give
energy to niegbouring countries even cheaper, but here in our own country, for our own citizens we sell it more
expensive. And now what we see...and hear..new disscussions have started that from 2010 we will pay 1 lt/
kWh.. even now the majority of people live below avarage level due to economic crises, and it is too difficult
for them to pay monthly for energy services..can you imagine what will be next.... In my opinion EU has to
perform a huger role in this sector, because we are also EU citizens, we vote for EU officials, we pay you for
representing our interests... and now we see that our national officials are in the pocket of bussness monopoly,
and we need the voice of EU officials... and if you want to know the truth waht is going n in energy sector
never ask national officials, speak to people, speak to those who are simple employee in this sector, only they
will tell you the truth... and please do smth., otherwise the majority of citizens will emigrate outside the EU, and
will deepen the economic and social problems even more...

Many EU Member States are highly dependent Russian gas and oil. And politicians are not always ready to
look for alternatives. In the result consumers pay ridiculously high energy bill every month. EU should work
with Russia as a single player in order to get the better price deal. And at home EU should encourage Member
States to do everything that's possible in order to work on green energy solutions.

3184. Energy. (importance: 77%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 11)
All European citizens need a more secure source of energy with a more stable price. In Malta prices have
gone ridiculously high. We have no steady source of energy which often makes our lives more difficult. An EU
aproach rather than a national one will certainly have much better results.
Important to continue and reinforce energy savings and alternative energy research programs. EU is heavily
dependent on other regions for energy. This may be a very problematic situation that we have to deal with

There were already experiments with alternative fuels. I have read cars that run with methanol in the arctic
area as petrol is not useful due to low temperature conditions. It causes much less pollution. Biological fuels
are also available. EU could make it profitable to use these alternative fuels in cars -- with taxes on traditional
petrol based cars and on petrol and on tax allowance on less polluting fuels and cars and financial support on
converting cars. It would be desirable as it helped the EU's Climate Change policy and would make Europe
less dependent on Russian oil and gas resources. (Some gas based power plants could be substituted with
petrol based when petrol consumption of traffic is reduced)

Non-polluting vehicles must have priority on the roads and high quality cycle tracks must be provided, with

3201. Alternative Energies (importance: 74%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 9)
Again, this is a complicated matter, in which I (just as in the case of integration politics) do not see myself as
to hold the perfect solution for it. But more effort should finally be put in alternative energies. We have the
technology, but we are too hung up on our nuclear way-out. It is probably easier to say that the atomic power
plants cannot simply be turn off, therefore we are going to keep on using them (..?!). But if we take a closer
look at the vanishing base materials, than it is clear that we cannot keep on going the way we currently are.
Especially solar energy would be a program to focus on. Why not try to focus upon some parts of the desert,
of course without necessarily destroying its most vital parts (which are again vital parts to us as well, even
though we like to forget that on this planet everything is connected to one another)? I agree that it is hard to
find a solution to this, but instead of focusing on banal problems (sometimes just in order to keep the focus of
the 'normal' people away from the actual dramas in this world) it might now be a time to clinge on to the harder
things. If it takes 4 years to come to a solution, so it is, but than we got to get started soon, or else, it might be
too late before we actually realise it.

3203. Energy security & the Russian infiltration of energy policy (importance: 74%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 16)
My biggest issue here is the EU and Russia and what is in the best interest for their long-term relationship.
The EU will never have a good relationship with Russia if it remains as energy dependent as it is now. It has
handed over too much power and tied its hands in foreign policy options. Similarly, Russia will never have
a good relationship with the EU while it remains afraid of what the West thinks and of it not respecting its
interests. Russia fears further European integration and yet it fears the lack of it because this favours the US.
Thus, Russia’s security and interests rely on how much power it has over Europe and its strategy is aimed
at increasing this power. Because opinions take years to change and often fall victims to American political
games, the easiest is to have something that Europe cannot do without - energy! Hence Russia is acquiring
EU energy businesses but and is courting individual member states. Nabucco was a step in the right direction,
but certain EU states sleeping with the other side are undermining this and damaging European interests
as a whole. Azerbaijan will now only sell to Russia and so will Central Asia. Russia is jeopardizing the
independence of EU energy policy right under the Commission’s nose and increasing the dishonesty between
the two. Moreover, how can the Commission claim that unbundling its energy sector will reduce prices when it
is allowing a Russia to build a monopoly that will only raise them? This is hypo
3204. Take care of energy issue (importance: 74%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 12)
Pool financial resources, get scientists interested and equiped, lobby the world for support: the Tokamak
reactor is also an example of international cooperation for researching nuclear fusion. Continue this. Perhaps
the to be build European Institute of Technology (or find another name for it since it is copy-pasting the US, for
the sake of getting recognized) can play a role in facilitating sustainable energy issues with research capacity.

evaluations: 2)
We need to come out from the economic crisis with are heads held high. I think tha one of the key factores
in achieving this is to find a cheap and enviormentaly frendly energysource. We also need to include new
important members in to the EU like Turkey and Kosovoa. They are to countries with great potential if they
are given the support of a larger international union. The EU als needs to concentrate on upholding a good
business and security relationship with Russia, this is something that needs to be done by every country in the
EU not just the ones sharing a border with russia. And the cyprus problem must be figured out, the demands
on turkey membership should be that once the north of cyprus is reconected with the republic of cyprus theyr
membership is possible, because in the EU we dont have any other territorial disputes.

3211. private and public sectors stimulus to develope clean energy (importance: 72%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 12)
I think that Eolian (to give an example) technology as used at present is still very inefficient. I think the public
and private sectors should work together on a common policy of the EU to make (green Energy) an industry
that would benefit all sectors of EU society. Often good ideas never come to reality because of an economic
and political structure that make their implementation unprofitable. I think a common European approach
might well be the parameter that is missing on the equation.
3212. Energy dependency (importance: 72%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 19)
The EU should help the East-European countries to reduce their dependency on Russian energy. And keep up

Political policies that drive decreased energy usage and innovative ideas for new energy sources. make it

3214. Energy policy harmonization (importance: 71%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 9)
There is no common energy policy though its been a long standing discussion within the EU. Morever, the
EU via its lending arm, the European Investment Bank, keeps undermining its own climate change goals.
The Commission needs to work much harder with Member States in order to ensure that energy policy will
be coordinated on Eu level, that the transition to low-carbon energy generation will start immediately and that
transmission networks will be robustly improved. External activities of the EU need to go hand in hand with EU
climate targetting - this means that the EIB needs to phase out investments into fossil fuels ASAP.

3217. Energy concerns are part of a a chain (importance: 70%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 12)
If we create list of the more urgent criteria to focus on, we notice that energy stands in the middle. Research

3218. Energy Security (with economic stimulus on the side) (importance: 70%, disagreement: 24,
evaluations: 12)
The EU should focus in long-term real integration by finishing the electricity and gas interconnection and
coordination of the whole EU, to prevent other countries taking the EU hostage for political reasons yet again,
and fostering development in all the member states in the process (particularly the new ones now in economic
trouble). The current scheme where some MS and regions are isolated only benefit non-MS. Interconnection
will finally realize the single market in the energy sector and help lower energy prices in the whole EU, further
boosting the economy and allowing MS to diversify their energy supply and consumption. Secondly, the EU
should see that alternative energy supplies (be it alternative green energy from wind or alternative supply lines
like Nabucco) are strongly supported and quickly built.

North East of England has suffered a double blow. What I would like to see is investment from Europe with
the money that has been agreed by G20 to be invested in jobs foremost. Invest in jobs = People with wages
= People buy goods = Employs people to make them. Circle of growth which we need again. No point in
throwing it down the pit of bankers funds.... That pit is forever and always hungry. Or thinking out of the
box here... Why not throw the money at massive renewable energy projects and research? Especially with

Europe needs to create an important movement that would be inspired by the Renaissance in the 16th
century or the greek classical civilization. An age of intelligence. We basically know what should be done, the
difference now is that we think that the fact of talking about it is enough. And the media are also major vehicles
for this distraction process. The main problems are the pressure we put on Earth and its ressources and the
enourmous disparities between the Earth's inhabitants. From this principle we should construct an Ethic and
a Political plan. If economical growth (wich we so much desire) is, on the hard objective side, negative for
our Eco-sistem how can we still defend it as the main proof of the health of our civilization? How can you act
without taking to account the global perspective we now have after all the milleniums of our History? Change
in our social organization should be very clear and decisive. Even if we do not want to change the Capitalistic
organization of the Market (wich we should), the radical changing of the rules will not shake or weaken the
initiative rather on the contrary it will stimulate it. When I talk of changing the rules I think of prohibiting cars
on Petrol, reducing air travel a lot, stop the destruction of any forest, reorganize the construction of cities,
prohibiting the concentration of industries and services in few companies, put an end to offshores and other
speculative processes. Real CHANGE in Europe changes the W

The EU should develop an energy policy - especially as regards the security of supply - which all Member

but it is our generation using it, so why should we make our great-grand children carry the burden of hidden
costs(and pass it on to the next generations). Buildings should be energy positive, cars should do 100 km to

VAT, ah, a european invention! People in Europe pay up to over 20% sales tax. Lets skip the fact it makes
European products not competitive. The real fun here is that every member can increase or decrease VAT
according to its mood! This is called "union"? This tax should be SAME in all countries. Just like airport
taxes. European citizens pay so much VAT over their "competitors", still our standard of living is so low
comparing to others, it simply doesnt justify us paying it to continue to pay it. Services enjoyed are minimal
comparing to countries they charge citizens less. Still the Europarliament imposes so much over the citizens
that I think it has brought a great disappointment and people will express it wherever and whenever they find
the chance. People will not pay forever for things they dont get in return, there have been many historical
evidences for that. People within EU are not just masses like maybe the other side of the Atlantic ocean, they
might eventually rise and deny everything. Measures should be taken before that point is reached but I find
it extremely difficult given the fact that EU has taken the totally wrong way, therefore it cannot take correct
decision. There are middle class people within EU that make 2500 euros a year, while another EU middle
class person makes 10 times that, 25000 euros a year. Is that fair? Still the EU committee in the recent crisis,
demands same contribution from both of them! And then our money go to banks and oth
energy resources.

The EU should work for a re-regulation of international finance. Today, the EU is all about neoliberalism. The
freedom of capital to roam freely around the globe: banks, hedge funds, private speculators of various kind,
should again be regulated. It destroys safety networks for people all over the world. The current financial crisis
is just the recent evidence of this. The freeing of capital in the 1970s has created undemocratic neoliberal
fundamentalism in the whole EU (as elsewhere). The EU should also work towards establishing a new global
reserve currency; some basket of several currencies perhaps. The dollar as a global reserve currency is very

We are in this economic crisis fueled by the greed of banks and investors and the cost of people like those
of the Baltic states who were offered cheap unmonitored credit with no prior education in such matters. Much
talk is now happening but once again little is actually being put in place to help the average citizen understand
their own financial situation. We see here in Latvia such disalusioned people who don't even understand the
limitations of their own government do deal with their poor state. For example the community heating system
here in Ergli is charging pensioners, who only get 60 Lats a month, as much as 115 Lats for one months
heating. Apartment buildings are having their heat turned off in the whole building because many cannot
pay their personal heating bills. We live in a building who some winters ago were refused heat as individuals
couldn't pay and now all have their own wood stoves, we are fortunate not to be on the community heating
system. The result is many are looking back to Soviet days when at least the heat was provided, the local
hospital wasn't being closed down and their schools were not under threat of being closed. I ask you, who
could blame them for longing for that kind of security? Yes the EU is pouring money into these countries but
without responsible support to help their governemments adjust and educate the people in daily matters of
personal economics and community action. I aplolgize for combining many issues under one.

Hi Mr Barroso, I'm asking many questions to myself in those times of recession. Why always states prone for
more competition and when a service is well done by the state and makes profits, those profits are not used to
make that particular state run branch work even better or used on other branches that may loose money but
are critical to the well being of the society as a whole. Instead, they are liberalised, so that all the investments
made and all the money spent to raise this service are eaten by a group of private entrepreneurs (or banks I
should say because nothing is possible without them). This brings me to the other point of my thinking, why
don't we change our whole politics on banks ? USA made a revolution and broke with England because the
king wanted that the colonies borrowed money to the bank of England, opposed to the system they had in
the USA at that time. Why can't we do our peacefull revolution, after we injected in the banks as much money
needed to feed the world for six month, why don't we give ourselves the opportunity to live in a society that is
a little more fair, sustainable and slave of the whole concept of debt and competition. For example why don't
we create a complete pubblic bank that lends money at no interests to compete with the modern commercial
banks, who do you think would win ?

The EU should do more to promote the liberty ands freedom aspect (citizen's right aspect) in the context of

etc.). Finally, what about enforcement of court decisions from otehr MS in civil matters. More European
governance is needed on economic issues, esspecially in times of crisis. Better co-ordination of economic
stimulus packages might create additional sinergies. As financial services and financial markets are
interconnected (at least this is true for the wholesale market), there might be a need for an all EU supervisor
for the big fianncial service providers. In other words the problems a financial service provider has with its
assets in one MS might cause liquidity problems of subsidiaries in other MS. Are national deposit insurance
shemes sufficent? Why is there no retail financial service market. Currently I can't ensure my car for civil
responsibility or kasko in another MS.

The E.U. has a good start in encouraging investments by funding part of them with the programs that are

The E.U. should enforce a common policy around all of Europe. Here in Greece, many people prefer to work
as employees than start their own business, because the taxes are way to high, reaching at least 40% of the
total income. This of course leads to a 0% growth of the whole country. Arranging the taxes will of course even
encourage citizens from non-E.U. countries to move there funds here and invest their capitals, even in off-
shore companies, which the E.U. could really use for it's own benefit.

money laundering; suspend at a EU-wide level all legal possibilites for paying profit based financial bonusses
to persons employed by bodies subventioned by the public sector and/or suffering from losses in stead of
profits; forbid at a EU-wide level the existing of clauses in contracts for captains of industry that they can be
laid off with a substantive golden handshake despite the financial results of their employing firms not being
correspondingly positive; put in place mechanisms for EU-level support to international banking grpups, if and

Racism - I life in a small city, but it is easy to see prejudice towards people of other nationalities, and other
racial backgrounds. I really want to see a fully integrated Europe, but I feel that is impossible for that, as with
many people moving to Ireland, there is no education on who these people are. Irish people see Eastern
Europeans, such as Romanian, Polish, Bulgarian, as some kind of alien species who are infringing on our
rights. I love these people, as they come from such contrasting backgrounds, and have such interesting
stories, so it pains me to see so much hatred against them. Europe as it is should act as a single country,
and would people abuse their countrymen? Poverty - I travel when I can, and I am lucky. People in Ireland
seem all to content with working 5 days a week, to affoard going to the pub at the weekend. There is a lack
of ambition, as people earn enough to survive, but not enough to further themselves. Having come through
education here, I see people who cannot affoard school books, school uniforms.. and these are the people
who have even made it to education. People's financial problems are overlooked in the greater picture, and it
is sad for me to see people in my city having to rob to feed their families. Maybe not poverty as it is in Africa/
South America, but still very important in my opinion. I by no means live in a deprived country, but I do feel
that a lot of our problems are overlooked, and perhaps even ignored by our government.

I suppose that the recent quality of life in Europe, our modell of social state has to be maintained. But these

economy. There are different traditions of social redistribution among Member States but it is clear that the
economy must perform well if we need either more tax income or more personal responsability from the

India, USA, we must act in a more common way because the indidual Member States are too small in this

I cannot afford to hire someone because the costs involved in hiring training and firing are too expensive so I
subcontract abroad in Asia and keep the number of employees down in Belgium. A salary alone costs me 2.2X

3346. More focus on EU people and not just finance numbers (importance: 73%, disagreement: 11,

Economic figures, finance and common development has always been the main goal of the EU. What about
people behind the numbers ? What about unemployment and pension worries? Why economical differences
between people keep growing and not concluding? The EU right now is improving ( ? ) numbers and statistics,
but the true value of peoples way of life is collapsing. The financial crisis is just the cherry on the top. Greek
riots and French demonstrations show as that EU people are about to burst out. Supporting banks and
corporations is an essential step of the crisis but never NEVER forget the people behind the numbers.

3350. BANKS INTEREST CALCULATION (importance: 73%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 11)
ITS OBVIOUS THAT THE WORLD FINANCIAL INSTITUTION ARE OWENED BY THE CAPITALIST AND
THE BUSINESS INTEREST OF THESE GROUP OF PEOLPLE IS TO ENSLAVE THOSE THAT ARE NOT
AS RICH AS THEM.THE WORLD IS IN MELTDOWN TODAY BECAUSE OF THESE GREEDY MEN AND
WOMEN...THE MATHEMATICAL EUATION THAT ALLOWS A BANK TO GIVE ALOAN OF SAY 220,000
EURO MORTGAGE TO BE PAID IN 25 YEARS WHERE THE REPAYMENT IS A S FOLLOWS, EVERY
MONTH REPAYMENT OF 1400 EURO, CAPITAL PAID IS 220 EURO AND INTEREST PAID IS 1180.
THE WHOLE WORLD SEES THIS AS NORMAL BUT I DONT SEE IT NORMAL..WHY CANT IT BE 50-
50 REPAYMENT IN THE FIRST 5 YEARS..SAY 700 INTEREST AND 700 CAPITAL..U GUYS ARE BUSY
LOOKING FOR SOLUTION WHERE THERE IS NO SOLUTION.e.g..injecting funds to the banks and the
banks holding on to the funds.it is sily world,it does not a genius to solve this problem.,i have done my
research and have it on my hand..if you are interested.......contact me
3351. Banking charges (importance: 73%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 12)
It would be great if there was a set charge for transfering money to another EU country. As I find it rather poor

from England to Austria.
3352. Euro for all EU Member States (importance: 72%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 8)
I think that each Member State of the EU should adopt the Euro as soon as possible (1 January 2010) and
all the pre-accession Member States (Croatia, Macedonia and Turkey) should adopt the Euro as their official
currency on the same day that they enter in the European Union. So every country that wants to be part of the
European Union, should adopt the Euro first (without being part of the EMU II phase which is too long). Finally
i could say: "No Euro, No European Union!"

3354. financial security (importance: 72%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 14)
it's a good one to do at european level. we should collaborate to built a stronger more trustworthy system.
europe in theory has a competitive advantage that it has the label of more stable, old, secure, etc. and we
should use that.
3355. less and more equitable taxation (importance: 72%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 17)
we are heavily taxed and -- at least in Greece -- have little to show for it. the taxation system needs
restructuring. as it stands it is merely a conduit for the enrichment of a well-connected elite. and there have
been few safeguards of the public wealth. social welfare funds have been used to prop up failing stock
markets and have been lost. and no one has been made accountable. there is a great deal if unfairness built
into the system. for example the Greek inheritance tax forces people to sell what they are inheriting because
they cannot afford the tax.
3356. Banks (importance: 72%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 10)
Banks lay at the origin of a global economic parallelization; State support, although discussable from various
points of view should only have been authorized with effective control because of clear reasons such as;
state support = debt = sooner or later/1 way or the other tax raises * putting the support only into the financial
(balance) holes of banks seems too easy * leaving the banks (again) to the initiative to do with support what
they decide to do = we saw very fast some nice scandals * … It should always have been in a balanced and
controlled way; 1 area, urgent and necessary is the attitude towards companies, big ad MEDIUM SIZED and
SMALL again for clear reasons. This is NOT happening, in a general way banks support the companies that
in fact are not in the first need to receive support and by those reasons have sufficient guarantees to receive
bank credit/loans etc…a slaughter is now happening on MEDIUM & SMALL sized companies. What will be the
positions of the “survivors” if there are no medium/small companies left…
3357. recognition professional qualifications social security tax (importance: 72%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 15)
the EU should focus on everything regarding quality of life for the citizens which has a cross-border aspect; so
protection of the environment and the cultural heritage come to mind first. But in daily life many Europeans are
confronted by borders which are physically easy to cross, but cause unimaginable - except possibly by Kafka
- difficulties regarding education, work, social security, health care and tax, just to name a few. I know a vast
amount of effort has been expended since the early days on co-ordination of social security, but now that the
most recent effort on 883 is almost finished, I see very little palpable improvement in the lives of citizens as a
result.

3366. EU Financing (importance: 71%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 2)
I think that EU's financing system is a very good one, with our currency, Euro, being one of the strongest ones
in the World. But... The very first mistake that was made when introducing the Euro, was the fact that 1 and 2
Euro coins, should be paper bills, and not coins. I think this has created many problems, and life has become
more expensive, because of that. In some EU States people were used in the local currency. Some of these
currencies were very devaluated. In Greece for example, coins were so worthless, that were not much used;
nobody would care about them. Some people used to see coins as something to keep in the house, and not
carry with them. The largest coin value, would be equal to about 30 Euro-cents... not much worth in it. Now,
the largest Euro coin of 2 Euros, comes up to about 700 of our old drachmas, which was a worth-seen value
of money... but people, because it is a coin pays not much attention to it, and as such, everything has become
much more expensive... Can you imagine what will going when for example Turkey joins the EU?? Up to 2005
(when the old Turkish Lira was used; but this is the one that people are used to), was so devaluated that for
a pack of cigarettes for example which costs about 2 euros, one had to pay about 4,000,000 Turkish Liras!!!
4,000,000!!! You can imagine what they do with their coins! How can you introduce to these people the Euro?
They will panic! And this happened to many countries of the EU. 1 & 2 Euros, should be in paper

3369. EU financing (importance: 70%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 7)
I want those signs that say 'The EU cofinanced this project' and all that to disappear. We the Netherlands are
net contributors (I hate that) and therefore the EU didn't finance anything, we the Dutch taxpayers financed it
therefore we should be mentioned on signs near building sites and building projects, not the EU because the
EU stole our money first (and doesn't give everything back).

of Winds and sun to have Priority..So to gain energy faster than other countries and Share this energy with
the other Eu ,members.EU must also help Greece as an ally and EU member to Dig out the Big amounts of oil

3379. Multilingualism and taxation (importance: 69%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 15)
Some countries tax books and learning material at a reduced quota of VAT. However this is not true for all

language learners in the EU.
3380. banking regulations (importance: 69%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 10)
As you are aware there have been slack regulations regarding banking, lending and now the low grade
workers such as myself are funding the cost of the extravagances of the persons in power. I think that the EU
should take control and establish a stringent regulation package for all financial institutions within the eu. to
support this an adequate regulatory system also. There should also be a set guideline for wages within the
banking sector.
3381. The Euro and Euroscepticism (importance: 69%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 9)
Its acsenscion to the worlds dominating currency has been put a halt at the latest G20 and apparently the rest
of the world still worships an ever weakening dollar. But what kind of a signal does it send when we have one
of the largest economies of the EU (United Kindgom) not use the Euro? Or that the EU Presidency is held by
an extremely euro-secptic country that refuses to adopt the coin or even ratify a much needed treaty. I think
the EU should have a way of communicating with its citizens more often and more easily. Just a bunch of
websites where people only go to if they want to vent or are genuinly curious (and the latter rarely happens)
is not enough. What the EU does and has done for them has to be brought home to them. Pamflet or TV ads
come to mind, but it would be even wiser if the national political parties took part in this as well...

evaluations: 16)
Small Medium enterprises are the bulk of all our businesses, in most EU-countries. These companies don't
have a loud voice, therefore, are less visible. However, they employ millions. With the credit crises, their daily
running of the business has become difficult: - less credit lines available, or more expensive. - their revenue is
under pressure. By focussing on more guarantees for loans, we can tackle the first issue. By lowering the cost
of employment (employers share) for these companies, we lower the risk that they will have to fire people.
Focus should be 1-2 year plan. In return, VAT can be increased to 25%, as this will be spread on all products
and services: including all imported once from Asia, USA.

3394. Use tax to shift the public cost of burning fossil fuel (importance: 67%, disagreement: 25,

Tax burning fossil fuels into exstinction. Oil and coal are some of the most valuable sources of complex
hydrocarbons. Burning this makes no sense when renewable sources are available. Current energy
economics rewards fossil fuel burners without the cost of climatic damage attached. EU legislation should tie
these costs at source and provide the economic framework for communities to switch off the grid.
3395. Taxes are too high (importance: 67%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 11)
Taxes are too high and too complex to understand the system. Perhaps the government should create a
system that is free to use for all people and that is assigned differently to the country of your residancy.
perhaps even teach youths about taxes from earlier stage. Most importantly is to decrease the tax. Public
organisations are given too much of the tax that they most of the times don't know what to do with it. Schools
panically buys in new computers to spend their budget they've been given... even if they don't really need
it. Or lets government institutes (escpecially EU organisations) they take millions of euros to implement
meetings.

evaluations: 13)
In the US, banks accepted to do credit to people, they perfectly know that they will not be able to pay
back. This causes, many famillies obliged to sell their home and live in the street. These practices should
be prosecuted. Knowing that the client will not be able to full fil, they intentionnaly traped him to get all he
possess. Theses pratices are criminals. As the bank sector still made money with this pratices, they did not
move, but when things turn wrong, they are crying for money. Banks have lost billions of euros, and if the
governments did not strongly ensure will a lot of money, our whole economy would colapse. Bank should
be more responsible, it is like if a doctor, make intentionnaly a mistake causing damage and asks after that
for compassion. In my opinion a bank causing this intentionnaly shows and we have the proof with the
current crisis, that it is a crime. More precisely a crime against humanity, that causes homeless, poor, familly
banqueroute, coonflict between countries etc... In the end as it is a threat for our society and the whole
humanity, the a term of CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY seems to me appropriate. Best regards.

It is a disgrace than in many EU countries the citizens are nostalgic about their old money. Some form of audit

3408. Shift taxes from ownership to use of motor vehicles. (importance: 63%, disagreement: 28,
evaluations: 13)
In Belgium, we are heavily taxed on the ownership of a car. The price of gas and diesel however, is not
significantly higher than in surrounding countries. I would like the EU to make the tax system more uniform
throughout the member states. The taxes should be shifted from ownership of a car towards use of a car.
Personally, I have a private (hobby) car, a company car and I go to work by train. It is a choice for me to
minimise my car use by using public transportation. Since my employer offers a "mobility budget" rather than a
"company car budget", I could continue to travel by train from home to work after being granted the company
car. My private use of the car is divided between my hobby car and my company car (for which I am heavily
taxed for private use by the way). The issue is however that whether I drive 30.000km or 5.000km, I pay the
same high amount of taxes for my private car. From an ecological point of view, this is wrong. There is no
stimulus for me to make even more intelligent use of both of my cars and minimise my ecological impact.

country like Iran. Government and its supporters control the media in a way that they impose unscientific and
very religous thinking to great majority of people who are not educated properly. The salaries are quite low to
visit important hstorical and architectural places which are the subject of mine. Anyone who is teaching must

the lowest (still are), thus, crime, theft and drugs are getting dangerous high!! Also to give a change to the

Based on what happened during the last few months in the financial sector and how this is actually influence

one hand there should be a better supervision of the financial and banking entities and also one should tax
more or just prohibit the insensate salaries of the banking CEOs or directors. On the other hand one should
scrutinise more thoroughly the reasons of redundancy of the employees, especially nowadays (I think it is

employees or workers).

Europe should have a harmonized tax system. Companies regularly close down a branch here to reopen it

should be the same Income tax should be the same Property tax should be similar, albeit weighted by a factor
taking into account the character of the property (e.g. whether it is a principal residence, a source of rental
income, etc.) and the regional density of population.

1. There should be an international crime task force in all 25 largest cities in all the member states. The task
forces could be placed in the police stations. Today the cases are often closed because the crime is "abroad",
even if it's within the EU. That should be changed with a task force and a system similar to the CPC system
(used to, among others, enforce the UCP directive). 2. Instead of hunting sharers there should be a sharing or
download tax. It's not the future generations that should adapt, but the EU to the future generations, and this is
their lifestyle.

3438. Irish Government's imposition of Vehicle Registration Tax (importance: 49%, disagreement: 29,
evaluations: 7)
The Irish government continues to overcharge it residents to bring cars into Ireland. This appears to contradict
the EU policy of a free movement of goods, which I believe needs to be challenged in a European Court. The
Irish government is artificially inflating the prices of car and using the movement of vehicles between countries
to charge an overinflated tax. As well as challenging the principle of charging tax to bring a car into the
country the Irish government also artificially inflates the prices of cars. The Irish government charges 25% of
the value of a car when it is imported but the value that they decide on bears no resemblance to the price paid
for a car or the market value. The Government simply decides what value they want to attach to a vehicle and
then charges 25%. Prices of second hand cars have now reduced significanlty but the Irish government has
not reduced the values it attaches to cars, so currently the difference between sales prices and the value the
Irish government attaches to vehicles is huge, so the exploitation of Irish residents is now even greater. Kind

I definitly think the EU should try to act as one, or at least use enhanced cooperation for that matters. We

states and the council. I think EU members should accept the fact that France and UK have the nuclear power,
and France and UK should give their places at the UN permanent council to the EU (1 whole Europe, 1 "EU
of the willings" or something like that), or better, cancel the permanent council of the UN which is absolutely

As a citizen of the EU I would like someday to see the true and complete integration of all the EU state-

result of EU economic integration after the adoption of Euro in 1999 as our monetary unit I would like to see
EU to proceed to a more tight political union. Institutions and legislation across Europe should be unanimous
and all citizens should vote for a central european government that will affect our every day life, like the local
governments right now do. More specifically I would like to see a common european police with local offices
across the member states that will ensure the security of the EU citizens. Also academic credentials and
professional rights should be recognised automatically in all EU member states perhaps by founding a central
educational organisation under the auspices of which all the schools and colleges in europe will function
in collaboration to one another. In addition it is of critical interest to make a europe-wide insurance system
(health and indemnity) to make sure that all EU citizens enjoy the same level of quality services and feel
the same safety. Another important matter is the common identification of all EU citizens which will lead to a
common passport for all the state members citizens so that the political strength of Europe would be fortified.

Tens of thousands of migrants try to cross the EU borders every year. But while the numbers of arrivals have
plunged in the Canary Islands this year and stabilized in Malta and the Italian island of Lampedusa, along
the Greek-Turkish border they are on the rise. Greece stands as the EU's stronghold in the east, dealing
with millions of illegal immigrants., surrounded by Turkey and third world Balkan states. Albanians, Iraqis,
Pakistanis, Afghanis and others - are arriving here in numbers bigger than ever before. Common among
Greek officials and citizens as well, is a sense that faraway Brussels requires them to be gatekeepers for the
whole of the European Union, without having to deal with the stresses or offering much support. We need EU's
solidarity on this issue which is more than economic or cultural. What concernes most the Greek authorities
and the public opinion, is the skyscraping upsurge of criminality, which mostly exists as a result of thousands
of abject people entering Greece. Armed bank and store robberies (which many times cost innocent lives) are
everyday on the news. People living in villages deal with burglars breaking into their houses, beating or even
raping 80 year old women. It is unprecented for the average Greek to feel usnafe, even inside his own home,
while 20 years ago Greeks were leaving their doors or even their cars unlocked. To be honest, I carry a paper
knife in the car so in case I am attacked, I could defend myself and my 2yo son.

on enviromental issues - until it will be too late (as it probably is already). equality: the gap between rich and

society (politicians, industry,...), by now, this can even come to a decision between getting an education and
not being able to afford one. same goes for medical treatment, legal counsel, internships,... democracy: How
is it possible to vote for an EU-Parlament but only being able to vote for politicians from one's own country?

regardless of being European, Christian and white or not. Even those whose religion considers us as the "big
Satan" and are culturally "incompatible" should be treated with compassion, because otherwise we reinforce
their beliefs. We help better if people stay at their places and contribute to the development of their countries,
rather than if we strip their countries of all their human resources. Our ageing population is to be solved
through births, not through immigration. Their development problem is to be solved by them with our help, not
through migration. Migration is theft of human resources, not help!

National efforts to stem the tide of Human Trafficking, Drug Smuggling and Terrorism are hampered by the
fact that the entities directing these actions do not respect national borders. Further, they are often keen to
exploit the inherent difficulties of investigations involving the national police forces of two or more member
states. The time has come for a pan-EU investigative body, whose Agents possess powers of Arrest, to be
formed under the Aegis of the European Union. Much like the FBI, this Agency must be limited to investigating
Human Trafficking, Drug Smuggling, White-Collar Crime and Terrorism (actions which are already illegal in
each Member State). Detained suspects could be handed over to the Judicial Systems of the Member State
where the crime has been committed. In addition to its own investigations, it could also be a vital asset to the
National Police Forces of Member States if they require additional expertise when investigating those crimes.

Illegal immigration is a problem which has been affecting the EU for years, and has been growing with every
passing year. This problem has remained untreated, or not properly treated, and it is causing far-reaching
issues as a side-effect. I speak for Malta and the Maltese Islands, which also means that I speak for the
European populace. Us Europeans are becoming increasingly xenophobic because we feel threatened by the
increased presence of a population which has landed on our shores illegaly. Faliure to focus more energies on
this problem would cause the increased propagation of racisim, xenophobia, islamophobia, a general despise
of non-EU nationals, and various other social diseases. We do not want this to happen. We want to live in
a healthy society. If this is to be, then the EU must focus more and more energies on the problem of illegal
immigration.
3482. Illegal Immigration (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 5)
Malta in in the frontline of the path illegal immigrants take to Europe. Many find themselves on this island
without even wanting to land here. This tiny island, having its own unique culture, is reaching a point where
the influx of illegal immigrants is becoming untollerable. Some of these people are indeed genuinely in need
of help, but it is believed that many others are simply not. For the ones in need, Maltese people, like in many
situations will show their solidarity and give a helping hand. But what is really appauling is the fact that, as
Maltese, we are really not feeling that the EU is doing enough to help us in this matter... we really require the
concept of burden sharing to take shape.

Thanks
I am a citizen of the EU country of Malta. I am very unhappy about the current situation here with regards to
illegal immigration. My small country has, in the last few years since joining the European Union, experienced
a huge influx of illegal immigrants from Africa. Malta is far too small to integrate so many people. Last year,
the number of arrivals of illegal immigrants actually exceeded the local birth rate. This has never happened
before in any other country, anywhere in the world. It is wrong for Malta to take in anymore illegal immigrants
found in its Search and Rescue area, which encompasses a huge part of the central Mediterranean. It is a
known fact that there are around 1 - 2 million people waiting on the shores of Libya to cross over to Europe.
Malta cannot accept anymore illegal immigrants. It is already heavily overpopulated and has no space to
accomodate them. They do not want to come to Malta anyway. This fact has been acknowledged by several
EU leaders, Jacques Barrot being one of them. He described Malta's situation as 'impossible'. What I want
is for the other 26 EU countries to agree that in future any illegal immigrants rescued by Malta's Armed Forces
in its SAR area are taken to another EU country for their claims for asylum to be processed there. If they are
found to be truly in need of protection, they should be granted refugee status, if not, they must be repatriated.

in the top of EU seems to all have forgotten about what yopu told us in Sweden (and other countries) befor
joining. I am positive to continue to be a member of EU but very critical to the way EU has taken most power
from national parliaments and individual countries. Currently you try to build someting most people do not ask
for. And you seems "speed-blind" and have lost focus of what EU was ment to be. To be onest the current EU
looks more and more like the old Sovjet with a "central committé" taking all the decisions over the head of the
people. Sovjet did colaps and so will EU if you do not start lissening to the people again and concentrate on

I am not going to elaborate on the problem of illegal immigration per se .... that is a big problem in itself - a

the attitude taken by the Italian media against Malta - without being given a possibility to reply - following the
PINAR incident (turkish ship which picked illegal immigrants near island of Lampedusa) During a breakfast
show on RAI Radio Due, on Tuesday 21 April, Ruggito del Coniglio, (this can still be downloaded from RAI's
website) the DJ's actually said that the we Maltese are criminals and instigated the Italians not to spend
their holidays in Malta !!! On the other hand, not one single word in the Italian Media (except reuter.it) about

I believe the EU should be built upon a real common defence policy that enable all of us to be protected from
threat beyond european borders. Also, if the EU wishes to be more united on that subject, there has to be
more political understanding amongst the citizens on how the EU really works. Another point relates to the
need for a stronger more comprehensie economic policy. Often we have to rely on an ECB that is not adapted
to the reality of EU members' economy. We shall find a new way to globalize policies in the areas of taxes,
interest rates and employment. Social is the last but not the least important subject. Inequalities are growing
beyond EU borders and now touch more vigorously EU countries. In regards to those growing issues, the
EU commission should be more close to the citizens and explain more clearly what its stance is on the social
issues that the European Union is facing. I believe social also relates to how the EU interacts with developping
countries. We know that a lot of the migrants come from developing countries. The global crisis is making it
more and more difficult to get a handle on problems such as immigration and unemployment. If the EU doesn't
find a solution, there will be a growing fear about the social futur of the Union.

For the defence of Europe and for humanitarian interventions Europe needs an unified army, so that we can

hand we dont agree with their policies on the world stage, on the other hand we dont create an defence force

Crime is major problem and the best way to fight it is with a unified reponse from the EU
Originally from India i came to Europe after my marriage with an European. Being a young woman of just 22
back then i was completely unaware of the illeagal immigration drama unfolding in Europe. Fifteen years ago
when i arrived here i dont remember seeing many foreign faces in our town, but today there are thousands.
It just shows how this problem has gone out of hand. Immigration is an age old phenomenon , man will
always go looking for greener pastures , but the immigrants who arrive here are faced with the rude reality
of waiting years and years before their fate is decided. I have seen first hand the despair and psycological
effects it has on them and their family. How is this going to affect Europe? Is it a time bomb about to go off? I
admire the way Europe has given home to so many migrants and how Europe has helped them to integrate
with language courses and finacial help but would this not make Europe look like the greenest pasture which
would be a catalyst for more migrants to take incredible risks to come here? Shoudn't Europe be having
border control in each country so that it makes it more human to turn them back the first time instead of people
living in such miserable state with false hope. I cant imagine the psycological effects on the people who are
locked up like criminals in Emmigration centres around Europe. It only adds to their trauma. We hope that
their cases would be dealt with as quickly as possible so they can continue with their lives.

When i see a solidier which has an EU-Logo on his uniform i am ashamed to be European! If countries decide
democraticaly that they should invest more in the military infrastructure then they can do that in the nato. But
let the EU as an political structure not be involved in the military area. There are already different missions
where the EU-flag is used by military. This is absolutely the wrong way because it will change the idea of
people what the EU is about. The EU should only focus on civilian missions. Let the nato do what it does but
keep the EU and the representation of Europe out of it! If this is not clearly visible and if the EU flag is more
and more present in military operations around the world more and more people will join the parties - far left or
far right - who ask their citizens that their country should leave the EU. I don't want to join this cause because
i hope that the EU can change and leave gbehind it s militarization. Therefore i also ask the immediant close
of the EU Armement Agency. Coming from a very small member state which has been at different times victim
of militarization i can only urge you to stop this direction. If not be sure that the opposition to the EU itself will
raise and could lead in the future to situations where countries decide democraticaly to leave the EU.

Our countries are importers of illegal drugs, not great producers. The fight against drugs is a European
issue, if not a global one. Since national governments can't efficiently control borders, highways or planes,
A European police against drug is the best solution to keep our children away from drugs. Can the police
departments that fight drug traffickers be united under a common hierarchy? They would become more
efficient and, in any case, have a clear point of view on the problem and allocate their ressources more
effectively..
3528. issues on elderly and pension schemes.living alone and crime (importance: 71%, disagreement:

The system of justice should include everone. There is still a gap in the justice system whereby proof of crime
is dependent only on witnesses. investigations should be more available especially to elderly people livimg
alone. i am not a legal person but suffering injustice for a period of around thirty years surely leaves something
to be desired . Maybe the help of the EU is so neccessary here. Thank you.
3529. Defence policy (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 15)
I am aware that the E.U does not have common defence legislation but however has a common defence
policy(CFSP). What I am wondering is whether the E.U eventually in time want to make a European army.
Please realise I am not a nutter who thinks that there will be conscription to an E.U army or any of that other
nonsense that is portrayed as truth by anti- E.U campaigners. I am merely wondering as to whether such a
body is possible in the future and what form it may take. Would you be of the opinion that all E.U states should
take the same stance on issues such as the Israeli-Arab conflict, the problem posed by Islamic extremism,
American foreign policy etc etc, Or should perhaps they have their own policies on what suits them best rather
than perhaps the E.U as a whole.

Immigration is needed, but not the illegal one
3531. Illegal imigration (importance: 71%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 14)
If the EU is not going to take any serious action on the issue of Illegal immigration the problem is going to
become impossible. EU needs to create opportunities to help Africans live a decent life with dignity in their
own country. How can we ever hope to achieve the United Nations Millenium Development Goals to reduce
poverty by 2015? The EU has allowed the situation to get out of hand. It is letting a large and powerful country
like Italy bully its way with a small country like Malta. The EU has a history of ignoring similar situations in the
heart of Europe which led to huge conflicts and war like Kosovo. Is history going to repeat itself? People like
Roberto Maroni and Flavio Tosi (both from Italy’s Lega Nord) have put Malta and the Maltese Government
in a very bad light. On the Italian Media they have projected the Maltese as a heartless race. They are also
instilling hatred towards the illegal immigrants themselves. They are doing this because they want to gain
the ground they are losing in the EU June elections. I admire Dr Simon Busuttil for speaking up for us in the
European Parlament. I thank the Maltese Government for taking the stand it took. I thank the leader of the
Malta Labour Party for supporting this stand. On this issue we are you united and we expect the EU to take
action NOW before it is too late.

3534. Illegal migration to Malta (importance: 71%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 3)
Since Malta is forms part of the EU, then its problems should also be common to the EU. If Illegal migration
here is a problem it is equally EU's problem. When migrants disembark in a country all Europe should
shoulder its responsibility towards their welfare and settlement, not only by theoretical solidarity but in practice
- for example countries in the EU SHOULD, not would, take a proportion of the migrants according to the
European country size and population. Up to now only talk and criticism on the how should migrants' rights be
respected came from the EU but practical measures to ease the overcrodiness in the detention centres remain
to be seen. We Maltese are doing more than our utmost with other nations and institutions condemnig us on
how we should do better. Perhaps it is more than time that every nation assumes its responsibility as a Union
in the manner I suggested earlier.
I consider the large number of illegal imigrants that arrive in Malta as a threat to our future because we a a
very small country.

Young people below the age of 40 have little concept of pre-Second World War Europe and the War itself.
The EU is the world's greatest peace project. There is no prospect of war between France, Germany, Britain,
Poland. Yet for more than a thousand years war in Europe was endemic. The EU should find a way to
communicate this 'peace project' concept, giving its younger citizens a positive vision.

3553. The influx of illegal immigrants (importance: 66%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 6)
The EU must work hard to help Malta ( a little island in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea) from the huge
number of illegal immigrants. At the moment the EU is not doing enough! We need less talk and more action!
Italy is also sufferring from the same problem however it's not the same situation since the size of Italy is quite
enormous compared to Malta. We need to see concrete action!
Here in Malta people feel that th situation is becoming impossible. Throughout our long history we have
always welcomed foreign settlers and the proof of this is in our surnames and our physiological aspects. But
now the situation is getting out of hand through th sheer numbers of invaders. Our nation has lived through
great hardships and at last we managed to become independent. All this now seems going down the drain.
Worst than that, our so-called friendly neighbour Italy has turned traitor. Many are seeing our admission into
the EU as a ploy by Europe to turn us into an African station. We will NOT let this happen to us, cost what it
may.

As an internet buyer, I often buy items from other member states and while I have never had cause for
readdress, I am aware that consumer protection for cross border shopping is weaker and more complex than
national consumer protection. The EU can help, by streamrolling simplier consumer rights legislation, that
opens up protection to cross-border shoppers, especially internet shoppers. A possible example would be
that sellers would provide freepost addresses for goods that needed to be returned. Of course, sellers should
charge a levy for the service, that could be included in the selling price. The EU could control this, so that it
would not rip off consumers.

Hi. Just found this site. Thought would be good to voice my oppinion. As you probably well know, Malta like
other European Mediterranean countries is constantly being invaded by illegal immigrants. Without wanting to
discuss the facts thats all this is unsustainable etc for sucha small country... it is also changing peoples way of
thinging. The Maltese have always been a generous people ready to help. Things are changing. Xenophobia
is increasing alarmingly, and its understandable. We have seen this happen in big european cities already, and
it seems Europe has not learnt from the past! Racism is on the increase, not decrease, and it is not a matter
of education, or religion. People here, from all aspects of society are becoming more and more racist. I'm
sure this is not only happening in Malta. Most Europeans are becoming so. Its just alarming to see people's
way of thinking change in such short time. European politicians simply need to stop being politically correct
and tackle the problem before its too late.
Athens is full of immigrants who have illegally been brought here through Turkey. We have a great rise in
criminality. We are affraid of going out in our own country in daylight as well as at night. Every crossroad has
at least 2 beggars asking for money. The thing is that most of them are part of a greater circle of people (even
greeks) who exploit their condition. Our jails are full of foreigners. i don't know why, but nobody gets ever send
back to where he came from. I think that what we need, other than better patrolled borders, is to apply the
laws. Those who came illegally here have to be sent back to their origin, or if any other E.U.country needs
them, send them there.
3567. Army: Do we even have one? (importance: 63%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 20)
Bundeswehr: a mess. French and British armies: almost on opposing battlefields. Everyone else: typically
insignificant apart from morale issues. A 2-gear EU would allow committed countries to start aggregaing their
military structures at a lever much higher than NATO. Hopefully to the point where all training is done bilingual
and officers and even troops are interchangable. Imagine someone from Luxemburg starting off as a recruit in
the joint EU army and reaching the rank of general with rsponsibilities over lots of troops from all over Europe.
At the moment, things are differently. If I join the Greek army, I am guaranteed never to have any important
role in the military affairs of the union. That kind of dampens my spirit. Also, make the army work. Use its
research facilties and set tech transfer offices to civilianise that technology and promote it. Finally when it
comes to national service it is true that its original purpose is obsolete, but people especially here in the UK
are total wimps. If you call someone stupid he'll declare himself traumatised and sue for mental distress. There
should be a natural selection rule somewhere. National service would do good to a lot of people. I realise the
EU has almost no cotrol over the armies. However promoting a 2-gear EU and these two ideas of national
service and research and co-administering these transformations might be of great help.
within the past decade there has been a vast increase in the number of illegal immigrants that cross our
borders into Greece. As far as i know my country does not have the capability to deport them as they originate
from African and Midle Eastern countries and it deffinetely doesn't have the resources or infastructure to
sustain their ever incresing numbers. The result is that the ones that have already crossed into the country
never leave while at the same time new arrivals come on a daily basis at an alarming rate (to my knowledge).
Since they usually don't have resources of their own and they are not elligible for EU citizenship they are set in
the margin of society, condemned to turn to a criminal way of life in order to survive in whichever way possible
3569. police carateca or well respected officers? (importance: 63%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 7)
Justice in all and police, too, is a group of people living among us , in our society, under the same sun and

to look at a policeman as a friend going at parties together, having meal together etc.,and according to his

3571. drug politics (importance: 63%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 16)
read the news, understand the topic. you kill people if you prohibit substances. you dont help them!

354

The European Union should focus on a drug policy that is consequent and workable. Prevention and
information are important, while harm reduction shows that there is no structural answer to the problems that
drugs can cause. Repression only makes those problems worse. These problems are, in most of the cases,
not only caused by the substances itself, Most of them result from a lack of opportunities. A coherent drug
policy, that focuses on all drugs the same, should give back the responsabilities to the citizens, but not without
warning them for the dangers. Because of the nature of drugs (possibility for addiction,...) it should not be left
in the hands of commercial enterprises, although professional experts should be consultable. 'Drugs' (as the
ancient Greek concept of 'Pharmakon') is an ambiguous concept that includes both 'remedy' and 'poison'.
Warn your citizens for the poisonous dangers , but please let them enjoy the remedies that they bring forward.
3573. Military (importance: 61%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 9)
It's important to have a unified EU military. We can no longer compete as single states, and we would be able
to save a lot of money if we integrated our militaries. The EU is mature enough for this.
3574. European Army (importance: 61%, disagreement: 34, evaluations: 3)
Under this treaty we will have to send our young people to join a Eropean Army, which could force us into a
war regardless of our position. In Ireland we pride ourselves in not taking part in wars and sending our children
to fight for the profits of faceless corporations or the glory of corrupt politicians and administrations. Since
the founding of our state we only send our army on peacekeeping missions, they go to war zones but only
to prevent hostilities and protect civilian populations. The proposed European army would mean that Irish
citizens would have to be sent as combattants to fight in conflicts not of our making or that we would want no
part in. If this army was in place ten years ago our citizens would be arriving home in body-bags from Iraq and
Afghanistan. The basis of the war in Iraq has been shown to be completely false and the world were lied to
continuously in relation to the threats posed. The whole story about weapons of mass destruction were proved
to be basseless and a complete fabrication. If the EU and the world were so concerned with this part of the
world, why was nothing done about the French who supplied the mustard gas that was used on the Kurds?
and what is being done to stop the Turkish government from persecuting the Kurds now.
3575. army (importance: 60%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 12)
an eurpoean army could be the best. A common army is a good way to save money and to be well roganised

and France nuclear weapons could be common to protect the all europe but the responsability given to this
two countries. For all of the common army, oit should be common.
3576. EU should help Malta with the Illegal Immigration Problem (importance: 60%, disagreement: 27,
evaluations: 14)
The EU is not helping Malta with Illegal Immigration- This is not fair, since the immigrants are only coming to
Malta, as a stepping stone, a bridge to the EU. They do not even want to stay here. Malta is alreadya densly
populated country. How much can we cope with this problem? Frontex is a farse!! See what happened with
Italy, who were always our friends and neighbours with the recent incident. The Maltese people are becoming
anxious, and racist. the problem should be shared between all the EU countries. After all you have large EU
countries that colonised African countries and most of the problems were caused by these said EU countries.
I used to believe in the EU. I voted for the EU. However, I come to the conclusion that Malta was accepted as
an EU country only to allieavate the EU problem of illegal immigration, nothing more.

Thanks for an opportunity to express the opinion on how it is possible to make a life of EU better, I do not live
in the European Union and it is difficult for me to speak about problems of the European union, but all the
same I want to express the opinion. I know that people in EU have real rights and opportunities for a worthy
life. In the European country Italy, there is the most beautiful in the world island Sicily. There there lives
free and very proud people which has a rich history and culture. The history of island is closely connected
to a history of the organized crime and separatism. People which there live, were poor and suffered much,
therefore have been compelled to struggle for a survival and freedom in all accessible ways. I know that
inhabitants of island wanted to build the independent state and struggled for independence, this struggle has
the history and since 1947 the island has received the status of an autonomy, but struggle has not ended, and
inhabitants of island want to be free and independent, and dream of the state. In my opinion, independence
of Sicily can solve many problems. People living there can provide in peace a worthy life for themselves and
children on the native ground that will allow to lower growth of criminality and separatism in the European
Union.
3581. DRUG POLICIES (importance: 57%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 5)
DRUG PROHIBITION IS A FRAUDULOUS AND HYPOCRIT POLICY. THE DIVISION BETWEEN LEGAL

there is no field of politics where so much harm is done as in drug polititcs. politicians want to safe us from
harm, but with illegalizing drugs, with stigmatizing users, with making responsible people feel like criminals,
you hurt the society much more than you help it. due to illegalization, you: - kill heroin users because they
die of the dirt used to stretch the substance - make young people be more interested in the drugs (forbidden
fruit effect) - stop society to openly talk about responsible and irresponsible uses - shift billions of money
into the black market and to the mafia orgnaizations - spend billions of dollars into law enforcement without
any significant positive results - lose credibility towards the young consumers, because you forbid some
substances, but allow others, without any objective reasons i could continue for so long, but i am a hard
working person, and i already spent so much of my spare time for drug-political issues, and in the end: the
facts are already there for so long!!! for example, read that article: http://www.economist.com/research/
articlesBySubject/displaystory.cfm?subjectid=348954&story_id=13237 - 193 not a "hippi/freak" magazine, but

The wording of the Lisbon Treaty says that all EU states must "improve" their military capabilities. This is such
an ope ended commitment to military spending that it amounts to a blank cheque to the arms industry. It also
means an effective end to any discussion of disarmament, or what each nation state's priorities should be.
Money that might be used for health care, education, transport etc wll have to be spent on weapons, with no
point in the future where this capability is finally reached, as improvement must continue, forever. This is not
what the EU should be about, and makes me wonder who is writing treaties like this.

1. There should be an international crime task force in all 25 largest cities in all the member states. The task
forces could be placed in the police stations. Today the cases are often closed because the crime is "abroad",
even if it's within the EU. That should be changed with a task force and a system similar to the CPC system
(used to, among others, enforce the UCP directive). 2. Instead of hunting sharers there should be a sharing or
download tax. It's not the future generations that should adapt, but the EU to the future generations, and this is
their lifestyle.

3593. Military Spending (importance: 51%, disagreement: 31, evaluations: 5)
The Lisbon Treaty ensures that military spending will have to be increased to a certain level, but ignores other
spending like health or education. We will have to commit scarce resources to spend in a most distasteful and
morally corrupt manner, while leaving other much more important areas under-funded. This is both misguided
and wrong in every possible sense. We are all too aware of the past empires of Europe, there were the
Roman, Austria-Hungarian, French, Spanish, Portugese, British, Dutch, Belgian and German. We spent much
of our history suffering under the yoke of oppression, and after fighting so long and so hard for our freedom,
we will not give it up so easily or sell it so cheaply. We don't want to play the part of the farm animals in
"Animal Farm" who rejoice at getting rid of the farmer, but only replace him with another more demanding
ruler (the Pigs) It may be time for the European politicians to take their snouts out of the trough and start
listening to their people rather than dictating to them. The resources we have would be much better spent
in developing commerce, promoting education and employment. This will ensure our peace and prosperity.
Military spending will only lead to further conflict, war pain and suffering, which will not benefit the general
population. If you sow the wind you will reap the whirlwind. Remember both Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin
Laden were trained and put into position by the US and now they are reaping no benefits.

drug prohibition is a big failure. It does not reach it`s goal to curb drug consumption and traffic. But prohibition

contribute to a better and Europe. Everybody knows that Banks and the big companys are above the law , if a
person has money he is untoutchable, so the first thing to do in Europe , is Justice , The salarys more leveled ,
and the taxes equal for all , and corruption badly punished with confiscation of every single euro of the criminal

We have a fantastic standard of life in Europe by any standard. We must preserve it by carefully managing
immigration. Huge stresses are being placed on our domestic services including social welfare, housing &
health care by illegal immigration. Our borders are weak and ensuring that each country has tight border
checks is essential. Countries with large coastlines, Ireland, Britain, Spain etc should be financially assisted to
enable better patrolling for illegal immigration & drug importation.

Here in Greece, there is an issue that has really troubled me as well as my peers. And that is the fact that
many of us, whose parents are from abroad, we were born here, and have lived here for over 18 years legally,
and yet the government does not recognise us and gives us citizenship. I am aware that the EU has already
notified if i may say the Greek government to do something about this matter, yet nothing has been done, than
giving lifelong staying permit, instead of the citizenship, not allowing us, immgrant's children to have same
opportunitites and access to public systemss, especially to the educational system. That is the issue that has
troubled me the most. My question is to the Greek government "I was born here, I speak your language, know
your history, follow your traditions... That YOUR is MINE.. so, why don't you let me be Greek? Why don't you
treat me as your own child?" and to the EU my question is "You are there so as to unite us... so as that under

I am of the opinion that the security along Greece's northern border is almost nonexistent and has led to a
large influx of illegal immigrants from other Balkan nations as well as from the middle east and Africa, further
compromising our security and our ability to fight crime as many of these new arrivals form gangs or turn to
organized crime. I do not oppose immigration, I oppose illegal immigration. Legal immigration, from EU and
non-EU states, should be encouraged as it brings additional labor and specialized skills to our market which
makes Greece, and the EU, more attractive to corporations wishing to expand production facilities, distribution
sites or points of sale in Greece, the EU or EEMEA, from nations in Asia, the Americas, etc.

We need a lot of help in this sector. It's not fair that we are only accused of not providing enough for these
persons. Everyone agrees that they should be helped however you have to understand that we are a very
small country. We are facing the arrival of more than 2000 illegal immigrants every year. We have to invest a
lot of resources for them, the armed forces of Malta are all the time going out to help them with their boats,
then they have to be given a place to live and be fed everyday. Soldiers have to guard them as well. This
all costs money. Above all, we have no more space to accomodate these people. A lot of corruption is going
on, people are employing illegal imigrants to give very poor wages. EU has to step in immediately and stop
this from happening. Burden Sharing agreements so far has only been put into practice by France and the

Tens of thousands of migrants try to cross the EU borders every year. But while the numbers of arrivals have
plunged in the Canary Islands this year and stabilized in Malta and the Italian island of Lampedusa, along
the Greek-Turkish border they are on the rise. Greece stands as the EU's stronghold in the east, dealing
with millions of illegal immigrants., surrounded by Turkey and third world Balkan states. Albanians, Iraqis,
Pakistanis, Afghanis and others - are arriving here in numbers bigger than ever before. Common among
Greek officials and citizens as well, is a sense that faraway Brussels requires them to be gatekeepers for the
whole of the European Union, without having to deal with the stresses or offering much support. We need EU's
solidarity on this issue which is more than economic or cultural. What concernes most the Greek authorities
and the public opinion, is the skyscraping upsurge of criminality, which mostly exists as a result of thousands
of abject people entering Greece. Armed bank and store robberies (which many times cost innocent lives) are
everyday on the news. People living in villages deal with burglars breaking into their houses, beating or even
raping 80 year old women. It is unprecented for the average Greek to feel usnafe, even inside his own home,
while 20 years ago Greeks were leaving their doors or even their cars unlocked. To be honest, I carry a paper
knife in the car so in case I am attacked, I could defend myself and my 2yo son.

The NATO decisions to intervene in Yugoslavia and in Middle East, although well intended (or at least
advertised as so) created thousands of homeless, economically impoverished and in need. We shall
emphasise on our laws and protect our societies from illegal immigration, but also help those in need
regardless of being European, Christian and white or not. Even those whose religion considers us as the "big
Satan" and are culturally "incompatible" should be treated with compassion, because otherwise we reinforce
their beliefs. We help better if people stay at their places and contribute to the development of their countries,
rather than if we strip their countries of all their human resources. Our ageing population is to be solved
through births, not through immigration. Their development problem is to be solved by them with our help, not
through migration. Migration is theft of human resources, not help!

3626. The problem of illegal immigration. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 14)
Illegal immigration is a problem which has been affecting the EU for years, and has been growing with every
passing year. This problem has remained untreated, or not properly treated, and it is causing far-reaching
issues as a side-effect. I speak for Malta and the Maltese Islands, which also means that I speak for the
European populace. Us Europeans are becoming increasingly xenophobic because we feel threatened by the
increased presence of a population which has landed on our shores illegaly. Faliure to focus more energies on
this problem would cause the increased propagation of racisim, xenophobia, islamophobia, a general despise
of non-EU nationals, and various other social diseases. We do not want this to happen. We want to live in
a healthy society. If this is to be, then the EU must focus more and more energies on the problem of illegal
immigration.
Malta in in the frontline of the path illegal immigrants take to Europe. Many find themselves on this island
without even wanting to land here. This tiny island, having its own unique culture, is reaching a point where
the influx of illegal immigrants is becoming untollerable. Some of these people are indeed genuinely in need
of help, but it is believed that many others are simply not. For the ones in need, Maltese people, like in many
situations will show their solidarity and give a helping hand. But what is really appauling is the fact that, as
Maltese, we are really not feeling that the EU is doing enough to help us in this matter... we really require the
concept of burden sharing to take shape.

3630. Migration and Development (importance: 79%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 15)
In one way or another, the forced migration of peoples can be attributed to poverty, economic and social
inequalities; whether as a result of conflict, famine, natural disasters, persecution or inequitable access to
natural resources. European migrations policies need to adopt a holistic and coherent rights-based migration
policy that respects the rights of the migrant as well as those of the country of origin. Migration issues should
be clearly separated from the problem of security. This can only be achieved through stronger coordination
and cooperation between thedifferent policy sectors concerned with migration, including development,
employment and social affairs, education and security. The EU should also ensure that the voice of migrants is
heard before any political decision is taken on migration matters. Developing countries need their most skilled
workers. While not denying individuals their right to move. European policies on labour migration should avoid
encouraging a brain drain, especially in the fields of health and education. EU initiatives, such as the proposal
for a blue card, should be developed in close dialogue with the concerned developing countries and in
particular with civil society organisations. Jointly agreed balanced measures should be concluded to facilitate
the international mobility of workers, while the EU should invest in increased access to higher education for
more people in their countries of origin and better wo
Stop it, reduce it, regulate it.

I am a citizen of the EU country of Malta. I am very unhappy about the current situation here with regards to
illegal immigration. My small country has, in the last few years since joining the European Union, experienced
a huge influx of illegal immigrants from Africa. Malta is far too small to integrate so many people. Last year,
the number of arrivals of illegal immigrants actually exceeded the local birth rate. This has never happened
before in any other country, anywhere in the world. It is wrong for Malta to take in anymore illegal immigrants
found in its Search and Rescue area, which encompasses a huge part of the central Mediterranean. It is a
known fact that there are around 1 - 2 million people waiting on the shores of Libya to cross over to Europe.
Malta cannot accept anymore illegal immigrants. It is already heavily overpopulated and has no space to
accomodate them. They do not want to come to Malta anyway. This fact has been acknowledged by several
EU leaders, Jacques Barrot being one of them. He described Malta's situation as 'impossible'. What I want
is for the other 26 EU countries to agree that in future any illegal immigrants rescued by Malta's Armed Forces
in its SAR area are taken to another EU country for their claims for asylum to be processed there. If they are
found to be truly in need of protection, they should be granted refugee status, if not, they must be repatriated.

Now they want to come to you,however Malta stands in their way.They do not want to come to us and anyway
we do not want them.They come here illegally and therefor they are criminals.At the same time one cannot
blame them for trying to better their life which is the way it is because a lot of promises were made by you and

I am not going to elaborate on the problem of illegal immigration per se .... that is a big problem in itself - a
solution for which can only be found if EVERYONE gives a helping hand. What I absolutely find disgusting, is
the attitude taken by the Italian media against Malta - without being given a possibility to reply - following the
PINAR incident (turkish ship which picked illegal immigrants near island of Lampedusa) During a breakfast
show on RAI Radio Due, on Tuesday 21 April, Ruggito del Coniglio, (this can still be downloaded from RAI's
website) the DJ's actually said that the we Maltese are criminals and instigated the Italians not to spend
their holidays in Malta !!! On the other hand, not one single word in the Italian Media (except reuter.it) about
Jacques Barrot saying that it was the Italians who had to accept the illegal immigrants aboard the PINAR.

Immigration The EU should do something about their immigration policy. The EU-countries should take more
"equal" responsibility. It is not right that countries like Sweden takes so many immigrants that they acctually
do. And there also is not only the issue of taking immigrants - there has to be more support of the immigrants
we do have in EU. They have to get more possibilities to becoming a part of the society - maybe more EU-

I am more concerned by corpses of African immigrants lying of Spanish and Italian beaches, by homeless
clandestines or by people expelled from the countries they had lived in for years than by overpopulation.
I admit that there is a dilemma but the problem definitely has to be dealt with. Maybe if the Union weren't

evaluations: 5)
Europe has become multi-ethnic and multi national but no EU program is available to promote intercultural

It should be stopped somehow, at least untill EU has the means to assimilate them in a proper way. It is
terrible, that so many desperate people manage to come through the greek frontiers, with no future and no
proper medical treatment. No jobs and no hopes can only make them aggressive and dangerous..
I think the response on immigration is pretty racist and very short sighted. Does my fellow European colleague
not know that the population for labour in Europe is shrinking and that in a decade or two there will be a
serious need for man power in Europe, countries like Germany already have a negative growth rate when
it comes to population and the kind of superiorist thinking that says third world countries should limit their
population so they can become less corrupt or productive is rather myopic
Malta is inundated with illegal immigrants. The EU should put pressure on Libya so as to bring the situation
under control. Ignoring Malta because we are one of the smallest EU countries does not make sense,
ultimately the illegals use Malta as a stepping stone so as to get to mainland Europe.

Europe has become a center of highest developments, culture, human values and democracy. We are now
facing a danger from foreign cultures that try to import different values, values that do not correspond with our
freedom and democracy. If we want to keep Europe safe and a nice place to live, we must strongly defend our
values, of course not close ourselves to everything different, but we should be aware of a long-term impact of
our actions. If you follow the statistics about the demographic development within last few decades, you must
be worried about our future. It is simply not wise to accept so many people from different cultures to come to
Europe. If we at the ghettos, look how these people are behaving here, look to the districts where they are
majority, we will see that it is not because we have created difficult conditions for them, it just because these
people are simly different and you cannot change them by putting them here and tell them: now behave.
In Germany this has proved that the immigrants that came there, had families and the new childs, the new
generations are not intergrating, but still have totally another values. If we accept any immigrants to come to
Europe, we must be sure they follow our rules, our laws, our constitutions. This seemed to be a matter of self-
evidence few decades ago, but now, in UK, we have first case of court acting on the Sharia muslim law.We
must stop to let them one centimetr by centimetr using their values in our Europe.Than

I am a non EU citizen married to a EU citizen. I am dismayed by the fact that I am asked to produce
documents that are not required by spouses of EU citizens when applying for visas to other EU countries. This
happens all the time and when asked reply is always a 'no comment'. Visa processes are hugely frustrating,
time consuming and quite frankly an unnecessary bureaucracy. I realise there are concerns regarding
immigration, security, Identity etc but none of these issues are weeded out by the current system in place.Why
can't EU countries adopt a standard format which is open and transparent with a strong customer charter?
Europe receives many immigrants but it should treat them as humans facing huge problems, not as intruders.
Many of them have really good reasons to be here, so we should consider taking them in.

Originally from India i came to Europe after my marriage with an European. Being a young woman of just 22
back then i was completely unaware of the illeagal immigration drama unfolding in Europe. Fifteen years ago
when i arrived here i dont remember seeing many foreign faces in our town, but today there are thousands.
It just shows how this problem has gone out of hand. Immigration is an age old phenomenon , man will
always go looking for greener pastures , but the immigrants who arrive here are faced with the rude reality
of waiting years and years before their fate is decided. I have seen first hand the despair and psycological
effects it has on them and their family. How is this going to affect Europe? Is it a time bomb about to go off? I
admire the way Europe has given home to so many migrants and how Europe has helped them to integrate
with language courses and finacial help but would this not make Europe look like the greenest pasture which
would be a catalyst for more migrants to take incredible risks to come here? Shoudn't Europe be having
border control in each country so that it makes it more human to turn them back the first time instead of people
living in such miserable state with false hope. I cant imagine the psycological effects on the people who are
locked up like criminals in Emmigration centres around Europe. It only adds to their trauma. We hope that
their cases would be dealt with as quickly as possible so they can continue with their lives.
3671. freedom to work/live/study anywhere in the EU, migration (importance: 73%, disagreement: 21,

Many EU citizens from some new EU Member-States such as Romania and Bulgaria still cannot work freely
in all the EU Member-States without holding a work permit. While this is promoted as a temporary means
of protecting those Member-States' labour markets, it clashes with these very Member-States' schemes of
recruiting qualified third-country nationals. As long as access to some EU Member-States' labour markets
remains restricted to new EU citizens, offering Blue Card-type work permits to third-country nationals seems
to be quite illogical as priority should be given to the EU citizens. The European Commission should enable
the access of all EU Member-States to the Schengen Information System and to a common European labour
market database as soon as possible. Moreover, the European Commission should encourage more actively
cross-border student, teacher and researcher exchanges (through ERASMUS/SOCRATES/COMENIUS/
LEONARDO programmes), mutual recognition of all academic degrees (including medicine, architecture,
law and other degrees), twinning of workers' unions and professional associations, periodic bilateral or
trilateral meetings of the neighbouring countries' governments (as with France and Germany or Romania and
Hungary), interconnection of the public utilities/energy/transport (railways, highways, waterways, airways)

particularly on scrutinising the budget would do alot to ensure that aid and income from the natural resources
available goes towards investment in human development. This would be one of the best things long term
things it could do to slow the tide of immigrants. less time and money should be wasted trying to physically
stop them from coming. as long as life is better here they will come, and its simply not fair to try to stop them.

your language education (which is fine but for a price of about 300 Euros every 3 months). Agencies that are
supposed to assist a foreigner to get their diploma's from e.g. Universities evaluated do not provide any forms
in English only in Dutch, despite the facts that they are working with foreigners from many different countries.

Immigration is needed, but not the illegal one
If the EU is not going to take any serious action on the issue of Illegal immigration the problem is going to
become impossible. EU needs to create opportunities to help Africans live a decent life with dignity in their
own country. How can we ever hope to achieve the United Nations Millenium Development Goals to reduce
poverty by 2015? The EU has allowed the situation to get out of hand. It is letting a large and powerful country
like Italy bully its way with a small country like Malta. The EU has a history of ignoring similar situations in the
heart of Europe which led to huge conflicts and war like Kosovo. Is history going to repeat itself? People like
Roberto Maroni and Flavio Tosi (both from Italy’s Lega Nord) have put Malta and the Maltese Government
in a very bad light. On the Italian Media they have projected the Maltese as a heartless race. They are also
instilling hatred towards the illegal immigrants themselves. They are doing this because they want to gain
the ground they are losing in the EU June elections. I admire Dr Simon Busuttil for speaking up for us in the
European Parlament. I thank the Maltese Government for taking the stand it took. I thank the leader of the
Malta Labour Party for supporting this stand. On this issue we are you united and we expect the EU to take
action NOW before it is too late.

I do not understand why EU has a different approach to immigration policy when it is very tolerant on refugees
but do not welcome high-skill & high-income immigrants like US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. With lack
of skilled labor in EU, it will be hard to compete with other countries who open their hands warmly to those
skilled labor. Besides, EU is putting a lot of red tapes on immigrants who could benefit the whole community
but are very lax on the refugees who are probably receiving money from the government and send it to their
home country to support other family members.

3691. Illegal migration to Malta (importance: 71%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 3)
Since Malta is forms part of the EU, then its problems should also be common to the EU. If Illegal migration
here is a problem it is equally EU's problem. When migrants disembark in a country all Europe should
shoulder its responsibility towards their welfare and settlement, not only by theoretical solidarity but in practice
- for example countries in the EU SHOULD, not would, take a proportion of the migrants according to the
European country size and population. Up to now only talk and criticism on the how should migrants' rights be
respected came from the EU but practical measures to ease the overcrodiness in the detention centres remain
to be seen. We Maltese are doing more than our utmost with other nations and institutions condemnig us on
how we should do better. Perhaps it is more than time that every nation assumes its responsibility as a Union
in the manner I suggested earlier.
I consider the large number of illegal imigrants that arrive in Malta as a threat to our future because we a a
very small country.

the history of europe, it's role in the world, it's goals and generally intoduce them to a new world, the world
of europe. Immigrants from foreign countries should be educated in that way in order to accumulate better

I wish to see efforts being placed on immigrants with higher education, especially women.In most EU
countries it is very hard to get into the valuable employment. Highly educated black immigrant women tend to
be older and most times are heads of thier families. Recognition is not often given to their contributions and
achievements. Within the EU, women such as those mentioned, have to start life all over again. This leaves
little or no scope for them to enjoy the freedom of movement, work and all the other rights accorded under the
EC Treaties, even though they are citizens of the EU. I therefore I am in favour of a bureau which is set up to
to focus on finding and making use of the talents of these women.

A country which has over 400,000 inhabitants living in less than 320 squared kilometres cannot hold any
more immigrants, which in its self is already more than overpopulated. Malta, unfortunately, is the front line
for illegal immigrants heading towards Europe. The island of Malta became part of the European Union to
be better off and not worse than it was previously to 2004. This problem in my opinion has to be divided with
other European countries. Since Malta became a member of the EU over 7,000 immigrants landed on the
island. Malta has already appealed to the other European countries to share this burden more equally but
unfortunately since Malta is a small country, this fell on deaf ears. If it was a bigger country like Germany
or France I am sure that the EU would make its best in trying to solve the problem, but it seems unlikely
giving this help to Malta. I was one of those who in 2004 was in favour of Malta becoming part of the EU but
unfortunately I was wrong about what I tought Malta would benefit from. It is trough that Malta benefits a lot
financially but its not the money Malta's after in these situations. I am very disappointed with the Eu's reaction

Here in Malta people feel that th situation is becoming impossible. Throughout our long history we have
always welcomed foreign settlers and the proof of this is in our surnames and our physiological aspects. But
now the situation is getting out of hand through th sheer numbers of invaders. Our nation has lived through
great hardships and at last we managed to become independent. All this now seems going down the drain.
Worst than that, our so-called friendly neighbour Italy has turned traitor. Many are seeing our admission into
the EU as a ploy by Europe to turn us into an African station. We will NOT let this happen to us, cost what it
may.

Although the problem at source may be different, both issues lead to similar problems. Besides disease

First of all, it is necessary for the EU to help immigrants to have the chance to work to country they live.In
particular, immigrants should have the same opportunities in finding jobs as the native people do.For example,

I do not know how exactly is the situation in the rest of the EE on this subject, I am mainly talking about my
country and my city (Patras). There are thousands of immigrants coming every year in my area. Only some of
the legal immigrants can find a job, taking in mind that unemployment is really high for everyone here. Most
people who come from Afganistan, Pakistan, Russia do not have permit to stay and work here.As a result,
some of them try by any way to go to Italy, traveling with no passport and some others try to live by illegal
ways, such as selling drugs, prostitution or stealing. This situation creates a xenofobia, or even racism which
could be avoided if more measures were taken for the illegal immigrants.
Hi. Just found this site. Thought would be good to voice my oppinion. As you probably well know, Malta like
other European Mediterranean countries is constantly being invaded by illegal immigrants. Without wanting to
discuss the facts thats all this is unsustainable etc for sucha small country... it is also changing peoples way of
thinging. The Maltese have always been a generous people ready to help. Things are changing. Xenophobia
is increasing alarmingly, and its understandable. We have seen this happen in big european cities already, and
it seems Europe has not learnt from the past! Racism is on the increase, not decrease, and it is not a matter
of education, or religion. People here, from all aspects of society are becoming more and more racist. I'm
sure this is not only happening in Malta. Most Europeans are becoming so. Its just alarming to see people's
way of thinking change in such short time. European politicians simply need to stop being politically correct
and tackle the problem before its too late.
Athens is full of immigrants who have illegally been brought here through Turkey. We have a great rise in
criminality. We are affraid of going out in our own country in daylight as well as at night. Every crossroad has
at least 2 beggars asking for money. The thing is that most of them are part of a greater circle of people (even
greeks) who exploit their condition. Our jails are full of foreigners. i don't know why, but nobody gets ever send
back to where he came from. I think that what we need, other than better patrolled borders, is to apply the
laws. Those who came illegally here have to be sent back to their origin, or if any other E.U.country needs
them, send them there.

from African and Midle Eastern countries and it deffinetely doesn't have the resources or infastructure to
sustain their ever incresing numbers. The result is that the ones that have already crossed into the country
never leave while at the same time new arrivals come on a daily basis at an alarming rate (to my knowledge).
Since they usually don't have resources of their own and they are not elligible for EU citizenship they are set in

As a dual US/Swedish citizen, I can't help but compare the two entities. In my opinion, one of the secrets of
American success is it's remarkable legal system which guarantees fundamental individual rights, and places
these rights above all others. Europe is particularly weak when it comes to the rights of immigrants and
minority groups living in the EU. The levels of discrimination - in housing, employment, education and daily life
- which I witness in the EU are a deep rot which undermines European society. The EU needs to strengthen
the EU Court of Human Rights, strengthen the rights of individuals, and improve the system of justice. As long

The EU is not helping Malta with Illegal Immigration- This is not fair, since the immigrants are only coming to

populated country. How much can we cope with this problem? Frontex is a farse!! See what happened with
Italy, who were always our friends and neighbours with the recent incident. The Maltese people are becoming
anxious, and racist. the problem should be shared between all the EU countries. After all you have large EU
countries that colonised African countries and most of the problems were caused by these said EU countries.

legalize all existing immigrants, ensure that all immigrants already in Europe have a decent standard of living,

obligations as native citizens. ensure an upper limit as to how many immigrants enter Europe (e.g. a % of the
national population) and then make sure that this is respected - even if it does mean a 'fortress europe'.
3748. The economy, immigration, balance between the EU countries (importance: 58%, disagreement:
Obviously, what is currently the most important issue for leaders is the state of the economy. In my view, it
is vital that the EU countries are able to find and implement common policies and initiatives that can help in
economic recovery and ensure the continued competitiveness of Europe in the world economy. Protectionism
has to be avoided; the future competitiveness of the EU countries' economies depends largely on how well
this goal is achieved. A question that also needs to be addressed relates to the European growth and stability
pact; many countries will probably be breaching its recommendations as a result of the growth of public
debt with the economic crisis. This risks to bring instability in the euro regime, an issue which will have to be
addressed.
Immigration is a good thing but with many possible downsides. The rights of the host population to a degree
of culural stablility are at least equal to the immigrant population. Incomers need to have respect for the host
nations, learn the language, a bit of the history. Most are coming from very impoverished countries and the
deal has to include intersest in the host country.

surfaces totally worn out, full of holes and uneven surfaces, in the city are totally absent correct road signs
both verticat and horizontal as well as correct road driving rules ( check out the roundabouts system in Ilioupoli

3766. Transportation (importance: 84%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 8)
Public transport is an issue in Estonia. We have problems in cities with providing buses, their lines are not
rational, buses themselves are old in some cities, fair trades are getting higher and highes. Another big
problem is train service. Our trains are old and slow, so sometimes you have to take an overfilled bus to drive
180km from Tallinn to Tartu instead of taking a spaceous train. And it takes 2,5 to 3,5 hours to get to Tallinn
from Tartu by train.

Make a shift toward real alternative energy sources and in parallel invest in energy savings to avoid non

By creating the EU the member states have opened up there borders and created an internal market. The
EU has done so in a regulatory way. It created rules to open up the borders and created citizen rights. Maybe
now the EU has to invest (financially and politically) more in a roads and trains. It is quite strange that we
don't have an integrated railway system for citizens to travel by train. By car there are problems with different
systems to finance the roads in each member state so that Belgiums have to pay in France but not the other
way around. Maybe the EU should organise a scheme to finance the highways in the member states.

Much more energy needs to be put into making individual transport more environmentally-friendly, the streets
safer and air cleaner. energy on the other hand is an issue both for financial reasons and environmental
protection. And nuclear energy must not be the key solution. More sustainable, renewable sources must
be promoted. Institutional reform in the end is the key for a functioning, understandable political and
administrative structure for the EU. Without a slimmer, more democratic structure, public support will always
remain as sadly low as it is right now.
3778. transport energy and security (importance: 82%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 16)
Cleaner more efficient transport across the EU - too much disparity. Energy needs to be accessible for all at
accessible prices - our sources need to be diversified. We need to feel safe, in our homes, cities, countries

I come from the north west of ireland, an area of ireland that has a skilled work force but little or no
employment in the region with companys leaving the area for the lucrative eastern european states.
The government in dublin are not doing anything to sustain development in the area and there is poor
infrastructure in the area and no public transportonly buses. I would like the EU to take great interest in the
periphery of Ireland and make it attractable for developement in the area, we are on the atlantic ocean with a
port in killybegs that can be transformed into other uses as the fishing industry declines. The North West and
West of Ireland need a new lease of life and i want the EU to help us because we are the forgotten region

evaluations: 13)
I think that we as Europe should focus on a new energy system, based totally on renewable energy Wind,
Water and Sun. We should get that far that we anly need Oil for producing medicins. As described in the H2
Economy we should invest in research to produce and store H2 as a means to store energy stock build up in
the summer through Pc cells and use it to drive around in our hydrogen cars for example. A radical change
to the current way of working. Furthermore it could lower the depency on Russia and the Middle east and in
this way reducing the Power they exert because they control a lot of fossil energy.Nuclear can be use during
the transition period but no new nuclear plants should be build, to keep on moving toward renewable energy
sources.

The EU should focus on combatting the problems in the transport, bad health service, high electricity and
heating bills, on protecting the consumer's und citizen's rights, on reducing the power of the banks und the
big financial institutions which can change contractual terms unilaterally without asking the ohter contractual
party, on pressing national governments to tackle corruption, organised crime. If one country doesn't have the
will to solve its own problems, the EU should have the possibility to act as a pressure group in order to enforce
the respect of the rules. When national authorities aren't in position or don't want to intervene in a case, the
EU should, as a overinstitutional body, have recourse to the resources of all member-states by pulling them
and to use them efficiently in order to better protect the financial and ohter interests of its citizens. I think that
the EU should play a bigger role in the climate change, in the financing of its tackling and fighting poverty not
only in all regions of Europe but also in the Third World. I think the EU has lots of successful programms for
exchange of students like ERASMUS and others and in this spirit it would be nicer for young people like me
to have more opportunities for mobility in the job, exchange with colleagues from other EU member-states
to learn from each ohter in order to have level playing field as regards the knowledge and practice of foreign
languages and in terms of knowing better the viewpoints of

i understand that one of the main goals in environmental sustainability messurements would be to get
people to use the public transportation systems. currently i live in germany which has an excellent public
transportation system, that people hardly ever use because cars are still way to cheap. this might sound like a
weird idea, but i would guess that making public transport free of charge and finance this with an extra public
transportation tax for EVERYBODY would make people use it more. they would then have the comparison: do
i use the car which occurs costs per mile or do i use public transportation which is paid for with my tax. also i
would guess such a tax could be quite low if everybody had to pay.

3805. More efficeint continental system of transport (importance: 77%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 11)
Coming from a small island so distant from the centre of Europe for me it is such a crucial aspect. For us it
is not possible to just drive where ever we want and we are constrained by our geography. Perhaps positive
discrimination for people originating from such areas (like no flight taxes) would make our life much easier.
transport: trains are slowly being overtaken by buses and planes due to their limitations in infrastructure. I
believe trains are the solution for better transport in europe. in comparison with buses: no deterioration of
roads, less pollution, less accident. in comparison with planes: less polluting, from city centre to city centre,
less noisy for neighbourhood and more sustainable in world running short of oil.
3807. Decrease transport by truck (importance: 77%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 15)
Transport by truck is not efficient (small quantities transported, fuel used, pollution created, increased risks
of severe accidents) and they are a pain on roads. Transport by railroad should be encouraged / forced. Lost
jobs in the transport business could be compensated partially by additional jobs in the logistic sector (storage,

One of the greatest features of living in the EU and being an EU citizen is the fact that I feel a sense of
belonging to each different part of it. When I take a day trip to Madrid for example, or Vienna, or the Romanian
seaside (and I live in Sofia, Bulgaria), I feel that this place is as much my home as my hometown. I think
nothing brings together Europeans more than the cheap and affordable means of transportation like low-cost
airlines, affordable train tickets, and motorways. It's great and must be encouraged.

3816. Public transport (importance: 76%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 15)
The EU should make it clear that road transport is out of fashion. Railways have great potential for providing
sustainable, accessible and widely use means of transport under the condition that: 1) rural areas are made
accessible and there are great investments into regional networks, 2) high-speed, state crossing routes are
improved, 3) railway transport is cheaper than air and road transport (provided that bunker fuels for air travels
are taxed properly and that road charging appears as a starting point).

3818. Re-thinking the ways in which 'human traffic' occurs. (importance: 75%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 9)
Globalisation means more migration. Globalisation is inevitable. Now, migration policies in different countries
are quite diverse, as are people's attitudes. There is, most understandably, a large amount of confusion
around what to do with foreign people emigrating illegaly and such more. Surely the notion of 'Fortresse
Europe' comes to mind. I vouch for a re-thinking of the vital ways and values of our society and the images it
creates towards other 'cultural groups'. In this 21st century, we are not divided into countries anymore, albeit
superficially. So what we have to do is think of the ways we can live together, as a global population. The
EU's role in this can be major by propagating certain values & basics around which we live in the EU and
exporting these ideas, as a sort of propaganda, to other countries. That way people might now where the EU
can humanistically and ideologically stand for, appart from the predominant focus on economics. Especially in
times of economic crises, our ethical thinking is important. Therefore, the EU should stimulate more open-
mindedness towards immigration, 'melting pot' cultures and the likes; as well as export its image to the
people. This is done not only by focussing on economics but with viable plans for mankind. Human Rights-
declarations and the likes have to be re-thought to be able to function in most every culture.

evaluations: 20)
Facilitate free movement - obstacle to mobility in EU at present when it remains (even with the cap) very
exepensive to use a mobile in another EU MS, I would like to see EU wide rates. Transport links should be
improved and inter-MS fares reduced. Eurostar, for example - a more frequent and cheaper service should be
given to facilitate working abroad. It is possible to live in London and weekends and work in Brussles during
the week, or, even, to commute daily (2 hours is feasible), but the prices are prohibitive. This is gives the
impression of borders and that going to Brussels is a different entitity than going to Manchester. Also language
learning should be encouraged - ESPECAIALLY IN THE UK!
3823. Train transportation (importance: 75%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 16)

In Bucharest the need for a better public transportation system is obvious. This would allow for a better traffic

The Baltic Sea is our garden, lugns and unfortunately the sewage too. It provides livelihood for fishermen, for
people in tourism and shipping companies. It is THE most polluted sea in the world. We Finns and Swedes
cannot take the whole responsibility for its protection and cleaning! Other countries around it MUST be
involved in the work better and more reliably. There must be money coming from all the countries around the
area. As the sea is an important means of transportation, we should be developing more safe vessels, more
environmental friendly fuels and imporve our means/skills for environmental protection in case of an accident.

3836. Better public urban transport (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 12)
Some cities have great public transport - like Berlin or Paris- and other are really poorly equipped - like
Brussels where you really need a car to go around if you have kids, go out after 20:00, or are going outside
of the centre. With more and more people moving the cities, I have the feeling the city roads will soon be
completely saturated.
On this regard, I think that Europe should aid our Maltese government in the roads infrastructure of our
country and help things to get done in a more efficient and more effective way with not only just funding
but with importation of consultants and specific road engineers to help us get things done. It's ridiculous
and stressful how everyday I have to nearly risk my life due to the state of the roads whilst I'm driving. On
another hand, if there would be more transport alternatives, such as a Metro or ElectricTram, which are more
environmental friendly yet regular and fast unlike the Maltese Bus System then I would gladly leave my car at
home to use only on special occasions!
3838. Decentralization, traffic, health, "bad" politicians (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25, evaluations:
3)
The EU should foster projects that aim at: 1. Decentralization- Zagreb is "exploding" (too many citizens), the
quality of life is decreasing, alienation growing. By declaring certain regions in Croatia "EU undeveloped/less
developed areas", many smaller towns would have the chance to develop (investments, new employment and
education opportunities, development of health care and cultural life..and in this way their inhabitants would
not be forced to move to Zagreb. 2. The traffic in Zagreb is unbearable. Instead that the local government
strives more towards environmental-friendly solutions to cope with the huge traffic, it supports the building
of garages in the centre of town. Maybe the EU should pass laws which make environmental-friendly
traffic-solution in big-towns a MUST and maybe support them in some countries. 3. Health - Promoting
wholistic/"alternative" health care that can give answers to problems and diseases which are the consequence
of the unbalanced, stressful and complex life of today, also leveling out the quality of service between private
and state health care (in order to prevent that quality health care is accessible mainly to people with higher
income), promoting organic food, promoting gastronomy based on healthy food 4. Politics - Many competent
young people do not enter politics at all, seeing corruption, fight for power/money instead of the ideals for
changing things for the better. Maybe supporting political engagement among the young

Every road in Warsaw and Poland is one of a very strong disadvantages, things seem to go different ways

3849. Highways, roads, transportation (importance: 70%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 3)
People within EU, although their countries had to comply with specific standards to be given entry, lack
identical services. For instance, developing countries should be given the funds to create equal if not better
services for their citizens, not below standars. It is unacceptable when funds are transfered to a country and
EU does not take care that the quality of the work done in that country is of a specific standard. For example,
all kinds of roadwork for transportation. Roads and highways are built differently in each country, which is a
shame and just underlines that their is no solidarity within EU. Road signs are different, some are local signs
and some are EU signs. There should be a unique, identical system, maybe in more than 2 languages. Then
we have NO freedom of movement. There is no such thing. One to travel by car through countries within EU
needs to pay more or less the value of an airplane ticket in tolls and various other taxes, spread all over! If
I am paying for something that was supposed to be offered for me, then EU has truly not offered anything
different than I had before. Also many "private" highways. I simply do not accept the fact that in my country,
highways that EU funded along with Greek and EU taxpayers, are passed on private companies to profit out
of us who we helped build them and we continue to fund their preservation. If there cannot be another way,
people should be given their money back and we should start paying less taxes.
Europe should supervise the policies of transport adopted in its member states. High speed train lines should
be created all over europe. On the other hand, europe should solve huge problems like the growing number of
trucks on the road and the consequences of that (jams, accidents, and so on).
3851. Cross-border transportation (importance: 70%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 12)
Finally, I also feel that the EU should put very strong focus on cross-border transportation, particularly by train.

3856. Aviation Transport Pricing Policies (importance: 69%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
The EU aviation sector is dominated with a small number of airline carriers, most of whom engage in wrong
pricing scams. Ryanair for example, often advertises very cheap airline fares which do not match the final
price. In addition to these hidden extra charges, that they are meant to display under exisiting EU laws(which
they dont follow), these charges increase many times a year, eg, Ryanair's credit card charges seem to
increase at least once a year, and unfairly penalises Irish consumers since we do not ordinarily have access
to Visa Election cards which has zero booking charges. We are left with paying 5 euro on Mastercard/Visa.
These abuses affect many Europeans and if addressed would help many EU citizens in the course of their
daily lives.
3857. Transport integration (importance: 69%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 10)
TGV is unique and European, it should merge with Thalys, ICE and others and the network should become
uniform, fast and expanded towards the south & east. Fast trains should be an European trademark. Also, a
smart integration with airports/city centers could make travel much easier inside Europe.

The road connnecting the village in which I live with the local town and the road to the next village had the
surfaces removed in March 2008 and they still do not have a surface, they are just dirt tracks with lorries using
them every day. Even when roads are repaired, they need renewing after about a year or two because most
are laid on old trackways and are not designed to bear the weight of modern vehicles. The edges of the roads
are not sealed and they rapidly crumble away. In the village in which I live it is virtually impossible to drive
without having at least one wheel in a pothole at all times.
3859. Too many personal cars (importance: 68%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
Use of personal cars should be discouraged systematically. This means that corporate & shopping zones
should be easily reachable by public transportation. It also means that public transportation should be fully
available for people with disabilities. More streets should be limited or dedicated to public transportation and
more green spaces should be implemented.

The EU has to invest heavily into new initiatives involving transport of people and services between different

increase equality around the world spreading prosperity from one place to another.
3863. Green cars (importance: 66%, disagreement: 31, evaluations: 20)
Green cars should become compulsory for new sold cars as soon as possible. The car market itself will never
move quicklier than it is obliged to do so, because of higher costs and reduced profit margins. This behaviour
is rational from an economical point of view. On the other side, as a rational consumer, I will never tend to by
a green car (electric, hybrid etc) if the alternatives are by some thousends of euros cheaper over the entire life
time of the car. Therefore, by strictly regulating the market of new cars, to green cars only, e.g. from 2014 on,
you will be able to create the requested market demand in order to allow for competitive reductions in the price
of the technology. The car manufacturers will have a 5 years transitional period in order to addapt to the new
regullation. They will still have the world market to sell their conventional cars. In addition, this step will make
the EU car manufacturers leaders in this field. Therefore, the export of green cars could play a significant role
in the future.
3864. Traffic (importance: 66%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 13)
there is no collaboration of the relevant authorities to syncronise the traffic lights and arrange for correct
volume highway entries and exits. Even though there are new highways there are no works done in the rest of
the city. this costs time and money to the city and citizens/pollution/lost working hours/frustration and anxiety/
accidents
3865. Irregular Migrants / Human Trafficking (importance: 66%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 7)
Although the problem at source may be different, both issues lead to similar problems. Besides disease
and other health related issues, technical issues such as visa's, passports etc... illegal migrants also cause
problems to the economy (cheap labour), in the society (crime, insecurity) as well as an added burden to the
border countries.
3866. traffic on the roads (importance: 66%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 2)
Going to work by bus in the morning and back in the evening takes me twice the time it should. Why?
Because of traffic jams caused by cars. Every second car is ocupied by the driver only. What can be done
against these people laziness to take a bus or drive together or only sporadically?

3869. Uniformed prices for highways (importance: 65%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 7)
When I get the chance to get a few weeks off I like to Go on holiday by car and visit many countries. What is
irritating me is that there are so many tollroads in Europe and that all prices and systems seem to be different.
I pay 40 euros tax per month for a VW Passat from 1998 in Holland. In Germany, I don't have to pay anything.
If I drive through Austria, Hungary or Czech Republic I have to pay something like 8 euros per country. Not
too much, but I have to stop at the border, buy a sticker that decreases the sight through my windscreen and
the people in those countries pay probably less tax and they can drive without paying through my country.
There are two countries where I really felt ripped off. One is France, where every normal highway is much
too expensive. I'm not sure about the prices yet, but I haven't been in Spain and France in the past ten years
because of the absurd prices they wanted for highways which weren't better than in Holland or Germany.
The worst country however is Slovenia. If I want to drive to Croatia through Italy. I must pay 8,50 euro for 200
kilometers of Italian highway. That doesn't sound too much. But, for 30 kilometers through Slovenia and 10
kilometers of not even real highway, probably built from EU-money, I had to pay 35 euros. So I decided to
avoid that highway. I got lost and lost more than one hour on that trip. I'm really unhappy that the EU can't do
anything like countries as Slovenia who blackmail tourists to Croatia that way.
3870. Air Traffic Control (importance: 64%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 13)
Eurocontrol exists. Not sure what they do, but they need to do more. So much fuel is wasted through a non-
integrated airspace. This should be a relatively easy one. Start with a few countries, like Schengen, let others
join when they understand the advantage.

3871. traffic jams (importance: 63%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 17)
The same problems occur in different cities in Europe. Through sharing of bet practice the solutions can work
everywhere.
The transport systems in EU countries are different, some good, some bad, all differently priced. Is there any
way that countries can learn from each other's best attempts to try and introduce a common standard?
Every state, should work together in transportation issues. For instance, highways, to help create new
solutions with less money spent. EU in this matter should work has a big nation, instead of individual states.
3874. Cost effective transport after 23h00 (importance: 60%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 15)
To encourage people to spend time together and not drink and drive, it would help if there were either public

3887. Visa-free travel in Europe (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
The EC should make full use of its capacity to influence member states and the council to make them adopt
Europe-wide visa-free travel, as planned in the eastern partnership, as soon as possible. Countries targeted
should be: the entire Western Balkans, Turkey, Turkish Cyprus, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and
selected countries from the Caucasus (Georgia for sure, the rest depending on HR improvements). This
should come ASAP and no later than 2015. I am a volunteer in a Youth European NGO and our volunteers
in those countries experience uncountable and unsurmountable obstacles when trying to travel to the EU.
Embassies frequently deny visas even to known volunteers from reputable organisation, who often have a full
passport of previously respected visas (i.e. they did not overstay them). A intermediary measure could be that
individuals with half a dozen respected visas to the EU should automatically obtain a one- or two-year multi-

I am especially surprised about the EU's stance in relationship with Russia - doesn't it realise the crimes they

respecting bloc, it will keep getting such results as this winter - Russia will feel powerful enough to manipulate
the EU. However, if the EU showed that it's a united bloc with its principles, Russia would be forced to
acknowledge that the EU is its main import partner that it cannot harm!

3896. World Economy (importance: 81%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 9)
The current status of the world's economies is a great opportunity for Greece and other EU members to grow.
Due to the decline in currency value or the available investment power of nations like the US and Japan (and
many others), smaller, more "static" economies can grow by forming joint venture groups, easing banking,
trade and other such restrictions, and "step in" to the banking and / or investment void that has come about
due to the withdrawal of assets from the marjets by the US, Japan, UAE, and other investment or credit
guarantor nations. By pooling available assets between eastern European nations, we stand a very good
chance to move our economies forward while the traditional leaders in banking and investment are standing
still or losing ground in a global "bear" market. Eastern Europe, particularly the Balkans, should be extremely
vigilant, always seeking out opportunity in places other nations only see the potential for loss.

3899. Developing a sustainable society (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
Important environmental issues such as climate change are also pressing concerns. Humans should be well
aware that the current state of our living will most probably lead to the further disfunctioning of our planet. Note
that I am far from being overly enthusiastic about green parties. The EU and its Member States have pursued
well up to the economic crisis in planning to cut emissions. Unfortunately, however, most of the EU citizens are
not aware of that. It is not enough if we only decide to deploy energy saving light bulps. As an ordinary citizen I
obviously do not know enough about what the EU has planned and done so far but I think that more has to be
done in advertising for a more conscious and sustainable society and funding actions related to it (for example
the development of ecologic car fuels or technology). This is not only important for the environment but also
for research. The sustainable development sector, I think, opens great opportunities for jobs, future investment
and the accumulation of profit. Once there is a society that is capable of analysing and evaluating its actions,
those that can afford it will be happy to spend more money in this. It will thus not only help to pave the way for
safeguarding our planet but also foster the EU's economy.
3900. A truly common European Foreign, Defense and Security Policy (importance: 81%, disagreement:
3901. Stop allowing American influence to E.U.'s politics (importance: 81%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 22)
No, I am not an anti-American, as I have lived in the U.S. for many years. But you don't have to be
politically driven to realize that America's strength (in all sectors) is threatend by the E.U.'s growth. They will
(and already are) do anything to prevent that. It is common sence, and is also the human nature of self-
conservation. At the moment they are doing everthing they can to hold us back. All we have to do is to find a
very diplomatic way to shut the door to them for whatever has to do with our internal affairs.

Strong, forceful stance when it comes to direct threats to its members is absolutely essential in justifying EU
existence as opposed to separate European nation states.
3909. stronger common foreign policy (importance: 79%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 12)
None of the EU countries can compete to the superpowers such as the USA, China, Russia. Therefore
European countries should agree on one foreign policy in order to better protect interests of the EU citizens at
the international community. Especially for the small EU countries it is nonsense to have own foreign policy.
3910. foreign affairs, and monetary politics (importance: 79%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
It's funny when EP associate with chickens labeling. The same thing with EK - the decisions should be known
to publicity. Till now everything is more dusty than transparent.
3911. A more comprehensive foreign policy approach (importance: 79%, disagreement: 18, evaluations:
21)
This is a big ask for the EU since its foreign policy powers are weak. However, there should be a more co-
ordinated approach to aid and development in the EU's border countries to ensure more stability and more
security.
Foreign Policy indirectly affects our lifes. There are still countries such as Belarus which are European, but
not democratic. The European Union should use here its "normative power" in order to help for a change
from a totalitarian to a democratic regime. It also is vital that the Common Foreign and Security Policy is
strengthened and that more joint answers are found to conflicts such as the example in Congo has stressed.
The European Union needs to act as a reliable partner for the United States and its allies, and as a serious
negotiator for countries such as Russia. This means not replacing the national foreign policies by a European
one, but complementing the national ones with a European foreign policy.
3913. Relieving poverty in the world (importance: 78%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 14)
Europe does not do enough to set an example to the rest of the developed world when it comes to real
change in poor countries. We should give more, but not in aid - in trade and inclusion at the top tables of the
world.

3914. EU-wide labour mobility for member state visa holders. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 9)
I am a young American citizen married to a German but since my freedom of movement is limited to the
member state where my husband works, I can only seek jobs in Germany. Highly qualified couples, however,
increasingly work in different cities within Europe and commute on the weekends, thanks to low cost airlines.
The current visa rule assumes I work in the same member state where my husband works, which limits my
career options more than EU spouses. Unfortunately, due to the common market, certain jobs no longer are
available in certain member states because these industries have naturally moved to those locations within
the EU with the best factor endowment for their production needs. This means that I can't find a job which
meets my qualifications in Germany but can't move like an EU citizen to the EU member state where the jobs
are are without my husband. Changing this rule and allowing EU-wide labor mobility (at least for spousal
visas) would adapt the Common Market to the new ways couples are using labor mobility rules and ensure
that foreign spouses aren't disadvantaged.

We have to reform the education system. It's not true: we need more lower educated people. The bolognese
mechanism is wrong. It's not giving for us enough deep knowledge. We need more higher educated people
and more creative mind. We need renewable energy sources, and systems what can use it (cars, factories,
houses, etc.). We have to be more independent in the issue of energy! Chance for Europe: developing and
use more robotic technology and than we reach, exempt more mind for search, thinking and make more useful
things. We have to understand what are the real problems. It's not easy I know, but we have to finish the fight
what is going on between each other. Overgrowth, especial in the agriculture is not a problem, just we have to
figure out how to use it! An example: It's unacceptable to people dieing because we haven't got enough good
socialnet or in Africa in starvation just because we don't want to produce more corn, because it's not good for
the economy.
3928. Common foreign policy (importance: 76%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 12)
Though it is clear that different EU countries have in foreign policy their own priorities, it still should be a
common one. Terrorism, peacekeeping, illegal immigration, world economical recession etc are issues to
be addressed not only on the national level but EU as a world leader should have in these issues a definite
common opinion based on the democratic values EU shares.
3929. Safeguard peace in the world (importance: 76%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 24)
Europe has to learn true leadership among the nations so it will not stay aside of the conflicts nor engage in

3931. Schengen visas putting off turists (importance: 76%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 8)
The present schengen tourist visa, requires a total travel plan and hotel reservations for the whole trip, even
for non-EU citizens who are resident in Ireland or the UK. This is unrealistic with the avaliblity of last minute
cheap deals. Also lots of times one may want to stay in a place they like longer or shorter in other areas. It
has put off a few people I know from traveling to France or Spain because of the hasel and risk of loosing
money (flights and hotel bookings). It would be much better if visas for a fixed time such as six-months or a
year were issued. Or better still do what switerland did before it joined the schengen area, it allowed tourists
with legal residence in any EEA state visit with out additional visa.
3932. Reduce American influence in Europe (importance: 75%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 4)
I believe that Europe could be a much stronger force for good in the World & I am dissapointed that there is
much dissent amongst European partner countries as to what action to take in given international events or
crises. I feel that the American government has way too much influence over individual E.U countries & the
E.U as a whole. Why is this? We employ more of them than they do us, our GDP is higher by over 2 trillion
dollars, our population is bigger by 200 million and we're their 2nd biggest creditor after the U.S taxpayer! I

We are fed up to be fooled and enslaved! Europe has been a fraud for most of us ! The European

3936. Energy security & the Russian infiltration of energy policy (importance: 74%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 16)
My biggest issue here is the EU and Russia and what is in the best interest for their long-term relationship.
The EU will never have a good relationship with Russia if it remains as energy dependent as it is now. It has
handed over too much power and tied its hands in foreign policy options. Similarly, Russia will never have
a good relationship with the EU while it remains afraid of what the West thinks and of it not respecting its
interests. Russia fears further European integration and yet it fears the lack of it because this favours the US.
Thus, Russia’s security and interests rely on how much power it has over Europe and its strategy is aimed
at increasing this power. Because opinions take years to change and often fall victims to American political
games, the easiest is to have something that Europe cannot do without - energy! Hence Russia is acquiring
EU energy businesses but and is courting individual member states. Nabucco was a step in the right direction,
but certain EU states sleeping with the other side are undermining this and damaging European interests
as a whole. Azerbaijan will now only sell to Russia and so will Central Asia. Russia is jeopardizing the
independence of EU energy policy right under the Commission’s nose and increasing the dishonesty between
the two. Moreover, how can the Commission claim that unbundling its energy sector will reduce prices when it
is allowing a Russia to build a monopoly that will only raise them? This is hypo

dectors' second opinion for my mothers health in Austria. I am Macedonian but I do study in the UK, so I know
very well how stressful the visa processes are even for students like me. The visa liberation must happen. It
must happen because it will liberalize our minds, our views, knowledge, thoughts. It has to happen because
we do not know ourself enough, we do not know how far we can reach, we do not know better and we need
to. It has to happen, because we need to compare with others, compete for the better, improve. It has to
happen for you to learn from us and us to learn from you. Because it is our right. Because we will develop
mutual respect.It might sound idealistic and silly. But in the end of the day, no matter how silly it sounds we all
want to show our grandchildren where grandma has been, the food she tasted, the cute Italian boy she met.

Should an increase is expected in number of EU visitors to our country, we need to eliminate certain difficulties

his/her hotel reservations or if a businessman already arranged his meetings in one of EU countries, can you
imagine the awful effects of not being able to get a visa from the related country.Such things will destroy all
future plans and hopes of people to get new contacts in EU countries for developing their business. If certain
privileges are granted for certain reasons which will reinforce the all kinds of relationship between EU and
candidate countries, it is more likely that the high population of candidate countries will become an advantage
to accelerate volume of trade as well as to establish cultural dialog birdges between countris.Today, there is a
need for a greater understanding between citizens of the European Union and Turkey and the EU has become
a source of inspiration not only for its own people but also those living in wider geographies. In order not to
make people lose their hope for future developments, new regulations on visa regime to candidate countries
should become more flexible and acceptable by all sides.

There have been some startegic mistakes done when dealing with China and Chinese authorities and this has
some room of improvement. There is a continuous situation that Europe is fueling and that is based on few
factors: China always had a bad history of misunderstandings with westerners, which led to not-trusting them,
China taking the most from our technology and giving in return clothes and shoes and EU not understanding
the gravity of Tibet, Taiwan-China position. This is only a matter of balancing again the game. It is not hard,
but needs people who understand their culture. This will bring a so much better advantage in both parties

I am subject to unfair visa regime that threatens my privacy everytime I have to apply for a visa to go to an
EU country to visit my friends who live there (finished my masters in Spain) And even though the European
Court of Justice clearly stated that visas are illegal I see no attempts on the EU side to solve the injustice I am
subjected to. I see how the EU approaches the Turkey's membership and I think to myself.. well I guess the
fairness, and equality that is preached in EU applies only to white Christians. That in turn slowly but surely
destroys my belief in EU as an institution and consequently in sincerity of the ideals it upholds. Hope, I see
hope, because The European Court of Justice showed me that there are still people within the EU that uphold
rule-of-law and fairness above their short-term political benefits. That there are still people that believe in the
ideals that in the first place created the EU (well then called the Coal and Steel Union and so forth as you well

Why should we accept Turkey in the EU? I mean, only 10% of Turkey is on European territory.. Isn't a financial

don't we accept Egypt, Israel, Iran and Qatar too..? They are not in Europe (just like Turkey) and their financial
status and political stability are better than Turkey's.. Shouldn't we, as EU, start negotiations with Russia and
Serbia instead? Why do we always ask the USA about our foreign policy? Do we need their permission? Aren't
we masters of our own land, of our own Union?

This could be realized only by keeping the producers within the EU borders and attracting other investors

when you do not have who to produce the new products. Besides, the emerging markets are now capable
to reproduce every new product within 24 hrs., so that any innovation will not last more when you don't
produce it here, too. Creativity and innovation, together with production, are the only key to maintain the EU
competitiveness on the global market, otherwise, we will transform in a consumerist market, and what could
than happens is very good shown by the today USA economy. We have to keep the EU Single Market as a

essence, Europe has a lot more potential than the USA. If we could just get the pieces of the puzzle to work
together, we, the Europeans could present the perfect ideological and practical leadership that could change
harmful political patterns in global politics. This is a property, which the USA do not posses. Europe could take
advantage of the ingorant attitude that America has towards Asian unions and countries, like ASEAN, China

3989. difficulty of getting visa (importance: 54%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 11)
Getting visa from a European country, even for a summer trip, is very hard for a Turk. It should be easier
at least for the students who just want to have an exciting vacation to Europe and to interact with different
cultures for a few weeks. Isn't it what Europe need, the establishment of a cultural mixage, or a common
European identity? European countries should be more tolerant while giving visas in order to facilitate this
process. I know this is very hard for everybody but such a privilege should be given university students who
cannot settle in Europe by illegal ways while they have a school to graduate. They are just enthusiastic for
new experiences abroad.

EU should show its power by coercing USA to give visas to all EU member states ( currently only Romania

like the USA will be flooded by barbarian romanians and bulgarians. Who does not want to travel will not travel
anyway. This issue is suitable to show USA some european determination. Plus I do not like to pay a US visa
fee. Install a 100 euro entry fee for the americans traveling to europe and they will lift the visa requirements for
romanians and bulgarians very soon.

3995. Russian Georgian Relations and Russian occupation of Georgia (importance: 44%, disagreement:
38, evaluations: 3)
What happened in Georgian in August 2008 had and will have sifnificnt impact on the EU, its security and
developments in its neighborhood in general. Russia is EU's strong and important partner but Russia is also
a state which violates neighbor's sovreignty and independence and territorial integrity. Georgia has strategic
location in the Caucasus and if Georgia is controled than you control the whole Caucasus region, at the
same time you are locking the central asia with its vast natural reourses and maintain it under your influence.
This was quite big motivation for Russia this summer to make a decision of intervening in Georgia's internal
affairs. Why this is dangaerous for Europe? First, it sets dangarous precedent of changing borders with
force. Second, Black/Caspian sea region might be alternative source of energy resources for Europe. Third,
if Russia thinks its "job" with Georgia easily done, than next target will be Ukraine, logically. I think there is
no need to be back to Cold War thinking of containment, but there is absolute need to force all players of
international system to follow the rules, the very basic ones which are set and defined by the International
Law. Recommendation for EU: Keep Gerogia on the agenda with Russia, force it to leave Georgian territory
and illegal recognition of Abkhazia and S.Ossetia. Make this extremely hard and expensive. And Remember,
Russians were in Germany for 50 years, but they left, so, they will leave from Georgia as wel

evaluations: 12)
All agriculture in Europe should be organic. Industrial may be more productive in the short-term, but in the
long term it is non-organic that is most productive in terms of energy input-calorie output, because of how
non-organic agriculture drains the soil of nutrients. Also, industrial agriculture requires far more water, in terms
of the pesticides used, and water is a very precious resource. Also, organic is far healthier and would save
billions in terms of public health issues (carcinogenic chemicals etc) Subsidies to agriculture must be reduced
and no more dumping of agricultural products in third countries. Farmers must receive a fair price and the
monopolistic position of supermarkets must be dismantled so that they no longer receive the biggest 'cut',
indirectly benefiting from EU subsidies and thus EU taxpayers.

4006. Youth, Agriculture, and respect for each other (importance: 83%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 9)
1) Youth organisations all over Europe are underfunded and at the same time loads of money is spent on
organisations/projects for older people. This should be rectified. 2) Agriculture is the most basic form of work
there is, and without agriculture there wouldn't be any food for anyone. Agriculture should be promoted and
funded, because Europe has to have the ability to foresee itself of food in hard times. If they don't have to buy
their products overseas it will be a lot cheaper, better for the environment, and people overseas will not have
food shortages. 3) Europe is known for its racism and disrespect for different cultures. (eg, "A fortress europe")
So i think the EU should try to promote openmindedness, and organise opportunities for different nationalities,
races etc to mingle, on a large scale.

I wish the EU looks at the products being sold within it's borders. It is getting worse day by day without

fresh natural foods. GMO food is a big LIE also and needs to be banned. Monsanto and the WHO work

4020. Food Labelling (importance: 79%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 5)
There is a huge problem with food labelling and sharp practice which should be outlawed. The recent
problem with Irish Pork and Bacon, brought to a head a ridiculous situation that exists. If a food product like
meat is processed in any way in Ireland it can be sold in Ireland or Europe as Irish meat, regardless of the
original source. This means that Argentinian beef can come to Ireland in carcass form and be chopped up
into steaks, minced etc and be labelled as Irish when it goes into supermarkets. The same can happen with
bacon from Mexico, poultry from China, or lamb from New Zealand. With the recent outbreaks of pig flu and
the bird flu and foot and mouth problems of recent times this seems outrageous and should be made illegal.
It should be an offence to label meat as Irish unless it was born, bred, lived died and processed in Ireland,
the same for other European countries and for other meat and food products imported. The EU has been
developing farming and food production in Europe since the 70's and has introduced stringent regulations that
have helped contain and deal with BSE and Foot and Mouth disease in recent years. Why then should inferior
imports be given the same stamp of approval as our own produce?

The current GMO moratorium on approvals of new products is tying the hands of Europe's farmers. Farmers
need access to the same technologies as farmers elsewhere around the world. These same technologies
have demonstrated that they can help to reduce the impact of agriculture on the environment (ex. reduced
pesticide usage) while sustainably supporting agriculture and food production by increasing production with
reduced inputs and land usage while generating higher profits and greater invcome security for farmers.
Europe has been held hostage by the fear-mongers and so called environmental activists for too long - our
politicians need to be brave, support the science and give farmers access to this technology. Mr President,
you have shown a trust in science and an urgency to move forward in allowing our farmers access to this

Federadion will try to blackmail us - that day we won´t be able to harvest our crops or heat our homes. Do you

I have read enough press reports to feel like the mechanisms for testing food safety are not strong and not
impartial enough. they seem to depend on existing research, which is often paid for by those trying to get
their new food/new food technology on the market in the first place. they also don't seem to err on the side of
caution... which in the case of food safety strikes me as the only ethical option. it seems here that often its the
EU member states taking the lead to protect the citizens rather than the EU institutions (Commission). If this is
not true then perhaps more effective communication is needed in this area.

there is no need to impose GMOs on European citizens - we don't want them (for whatever reason) so why

4076. Access to organic foods, self-sufficiency (importance: 66%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 11)
Most of the people buy foods in chain stores, there should be a possibility for local farmers to sell their
produce almost directly (1 step-chain) in these stores. Some EU rules and regulations are against the farmers
not for them, unless it's absolutely required for safety, rules should not be imposed on local farmers growing
organic and natural food.
4077. Food produciton - exploited non-EU labour (importance: 65%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 4)
I am also concerned about the exploitation of non-EU labour used to harvest fruit and vegetables in the
EU. This is a complex issue that involves not only state labour law but also the EU's relationship with the
developing world. Reference "Eat Your Heart Out: Why the Food Business is Bad for the Planet and Your

4085. Genetically Modified Food (importance: 63%, disagreement: 34, evaluations: 10)
Prohibit ALL cultivation of genetically modified crops. GMO's will not save world from starvation. Instead they
will deplete. Conserve, grow and extend biodiversity. Be very cautious doing otherwise.
4086. Re-localize agriculture (importance: 62%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 10)
Agriculture has always been heavily subsidized, with the result that the biggest potential earners (i.e.
cultivating the largest areas or breeding the largest herds of cattle/flocks of poultry) always catch the biggest
amounts, whereas they do not necessarily need the help. The commonly admitted consequence is a totally
de-regulated market, where retail prices are not dictated by actual production costs, but by demand and offer
rules. This has led among other things to peasants in third world countries giving up subsistence agriculture to
mass produce mono-cultivated soy beans to feed western cattle. It defies human understanding that a lamb
raised in New-Zealand can be brought over to EU and still cost less than one from Texel or the Mont St Michel,
for instance. The costs are here hidden, totally obliterated by subsidies and mutualization of transportation real
cost (and this includes ship or airplane pollution). In order to achieve a fair re-localization of our agriculture, we
need to set up a measuring device that enables us to have a clear picture of "real costs". Any country refusing
to provide those real costs would face duties corresponding to an assessed production real costs value. It
must be made the norm that food products are originated from the nearest suitable growing area. Buying
baby animals in one country, raising them in another and selling them in a yet another one should be avoided.
Gradually, prices should adjust worldwide to sensible values.
4087. Will Europe support there own agriculture in the next 50 yea (importance: 62%, disagreement: 31,

Hello, I think that I will be very important that Europe remain the support at there own agriculture. A country

by scientific studies. 3. Products known to be harmful (alcohol, tobacco, coffee, saturated fat...) are not
"harmonised" (= restricted or banned). Exactly the contrary. 4. Cui bono? Follow the money trail - it leads to
the EU Commission's most generous lobbyists Big Pharma, who only make money when people are ILL.
Restricting or banning health-giving products is playing straight into their hands. Restrict vitamin D and at the
same time push statins? Where's the logic (apart from the profits!). A responsible government would want
its population to be healthy, not turn them into patients. 5. Apart from Big Pharma and you, our unelected
masters, NOBODY wants these restrictions. Please let the people decide what they can eat and drink!

ce que c'est L'Union Européenne, en admettant que malgré les différences nous avons des profondes valeurs
communes profondes. De plus les programmes comme Socrates aident au perfectionnement des systèmes
educatifs dans les pays membres par l'échange des connaissances et du savoir-faire. Innutile de rappeler
que les nouvelle technologies améliorent la vie quotidienne. Le pouvoir du savoir se transforme facilement
en pouvoir économique qui pourrait etre utiliser pour l'aide pour les régions en voie de développement. Plus
concrètement, les recherches dans la dommaine des sources de l'énergie renouvelable sont un pas décisif
vers le développement durable et contribuent à la lutte contre le changement climatique et la pollution de la

redéployer du tissu économique, créer de l'emploi à moyenne et forte qualitication, réorienter des politiques

Grèce, le Portugal ou encore l'Espagne ce disent dans une situation difficile, que fais l'Europe: rien! J'ai même
entendu d'un euro député que l'aide financière entre pays est tout aussi probable qu'une famine en Bavière.
Avant de penser à une Europe de la défense, ne serait-il pas bon de penser à la survie de l'Europe? L'Europe

certains axes la législation européenne vienne remplacer intégralement les compétences des parlements
nationaux sur ces questions. Progressivement, venir à un Etat Fédéral, à une nation européenne disposant
des mêmes réglementations. Aller plus vite vers l'Europe de demain. 3) La défense : promouvoir la défense
européenne via un Conseil de Sécurité Européen, une agence de renseignements européennes, un porte-
avions (ou quelque chose de "matériel" qui concrétiserait cette Europe de la défense), 4) Deux cercles : un
cercle des pays voulant avancer vite dans la construction européenne, un autre plus en retrait, 5) Un prêt

d'innovation au niveau de l'industrie. Dans ce contexte de crise économique, cela constituerait sans doute
un investissement à long terme. Le problème, comme d'habitude, est de dépasser les clivages entre pays
(chacun va regarder ce qu'il reçoit) et d'éviter que les fonds débloqués ne soient fractionnés dans mille et un
projets peut-être moins ambitieux ou trop peu ambitieux. Ces investissements auront un impact direct dans

Il devrait etre plus facile d'obtenir des financements europeens pour la recherche. A l'heure actuelle, ecrire
une demande de financement est un cauchemard de bureaucratie, et d'inneficacite! Certains chercheurs,
ayant aquis le statut de chercheur, avec une position de Chercheur independant, se doivent de refuser leur
poste car ils n'ont pas de moyen pour travailler a la paillasse, et encore moins employer un technicien ou
former un etudiant! c'est inadmissible! Comment forger une recherche competitive, former des etudiants en
these etc sans moyen financier adequate? Financer la recherche fondamentale est necessaire pour rester
competitif au sein de la recherche internationale. La plupart des pays europeens forment de bons chercheurs,
mais ces chercheurs la se retrouvent le bec dans l'eau apres un 2eme ou 3 eme post-doc car il n'y a pas de
mesure pour leur trouver un job ou ils pourront exceler et developper leur propre thematique, car il n'y a que
tres peu de financement! Si l'Europe veut rester competitive internationellement parlant, l'Europe doit investir
beaucoup plus dans la recherche.

La recherche médicale basée sur l'expérimentation animale est une abberration tant sur le plan du gaspillage

sacrifiés chaque année pour la vivisection dans les laboratoires pour des expériences dont certaines ont été
faites et refaites maintes fois, dans le simple but de justifier une activité pour ces laboratoires et donc d'obtenir
des subventions. Les résultats une fois appliqués à l'homme se révèlent parfois catastrophiques pour lui ! Il
est temps que la recherche s'oriente vers des méthodes plus modernes, et plus proche du modèle humain par
la culture de cellules humaines, l'aide de l'Europe en ce domaine me paraît indispensable.

pas la création d'une Sécurité Sociale Européenne?) et l'UE pourrait aussi faire mieux face à des épidémies
lorsqu'elles arrivent telles la grippe aviaire, ou maintenant la grippe mexicaine. En matière d'Emploi l'UE peut
donner un coup de pouce non négligeable à la lutte contre le chômage notamment grâce à un partenariat
entre les ministères du Travail de tous les pays membres. Enfin concernant l'Environnement l'Europe joue un
rôle fondamental dans la protection des écosystèmes de son territoire mais aussi mondial.
62. L'économie citoyenne (importance: 78%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 9)
Une économie à finalité humaine et sociale. RIEN D'AUTRE. Permettre à tous-tes les citoyen-nes de prendre
des initiatives et de participer démocratiquement à la production, l’échange et la consommation de biens et
de services socialement utiles et respectueux de l’environnement. Ainsi que de favoriser une distribution
équitable de la valeur ajoutée produite par chacun-e. Selon les Nations Unies, le revenu des 500 personnes
les plus riches du monde est supérieur à celui des 416 millions de personnes les plus pauvres su monde.
Un hyper-riche touche plus d’argent que celui d’un million de pauvres réunis. Ceci signifie la destruction des
hommes par les hommes. L'Union Européenne doit être LE modèle de la DECROISSANCE pour la planète.
Il faut limiter les revenus des citoyens. Il devrait être interdit qu'un citoyen gagne plus de 5.000euros par
mois. Il faut forcer les citoyens à entrer dans une dimension du partage. La convoitise des richesses mène
les citoyens dans la désolidarisation globale accélérée. OR, les peuples se mélangent à une allure folle en
Europe. Selon moi, ce mélange ne repose sur aucunes compréhensions mutuelles profondes. Sans inter
solidarité les pays vont de plus en plus devenir des bombes à retardements. La croissance est une illusion
en ce qui concerne la vie ensemble. Les gens sont malheureux et isolés. Ils manquent de compréhension du
Monde car l'argent estLA LOI UNIQUE. L'UE

L'Union Européenne est une organisation qui a une meilleure visibilité sur les transports que ses Etats
membres, simplement parce la géographie est très importante dans ce domaine et que les transports
connaissent moins de frontières que jamais. C'est un élément vital du marché commun. Or à ce jour, les
transports de marchandises, plus que ceux des personnes, ne sont pas à la hauteur des besoins. Le transport
par rail n'est pas privilégié suffisamment et le transport routier, économiquement inefficace et dommageable
pour l'environnement et la santé est hyper développé. Peu est fait pour développer le transport par barge ou
par cabotage. Enfin les ports européens sont développés très inégalement, dépendant essentiellement de
politiques nationales à courte vue.

va assurer l'avenir de l'Europe, les enfants sont la source de l'avenir et leur apprendre les fondements de
l'U.E,l'histoire des peuples... Qui de nos concitoyens est trop méconnue malheureusement. Avec la crise
financier d'autonome 2008, on peut se demander si il n'y a pas une remise en question de la politique
économique de l'Union et là encore assurer une meilleure harmonisation économique entre les pays riches
et développés et ceux qui le sont un peu moins. Enfin, l'écologie qui est utilisé à des buts politique, mais
bien avant eux utilisé par nos agriculteurs, doit être perçue non pas comme une barrière au développement
et comme un poids économique. Mais bien comme un tremplin vers un nouveau marché où cohabiteraient
investissement, bénéfices, respect de la nature... Bien sur, j'imagine bien que tous ces problèmes sont en
partie ou entièrement pris en compte par nos dirigeants européen. Néanmoins, étant ferveur défenseur de
l'Union Européenne je trouve qui je côtoie beaucoup trop d'anti-U.E. Et si il en existe tant c'est que les efforts
déployés par celle ci n'est pas assez remarqué par les citoyens.

La situation économique actuelle pose, notament chez les jeunes, la question de l'avenir professionnelle.
Cette situation est d'autant plus compliqué qu'en plus d'une concurrence asiatique féroce (ce contre quoi,
nous l'avons bien compris, nous ne pouvons pas grand chose), il existe à l'heure actuelle une concurrence
intra-européenne sur le marché du travail. A l'heure où nous pouvons, et où nous devrions, prouver aux
euro-sceptiques que l'UE peut permettre aux européens de se "serrer les coudes" et sortir ensemble de la
crise économique mondiale, il serait nécessaire d'étudier la possibilité d'un marché du travail unifié où les
conditions de travail seraient les mêmes quelques soit le pays de l'UE. Pour cela, j'en conviens, d'énormes
chantiers sont nécessaires. Je pense notament qu'un cursus universitaire (et plus globalement scolaire)
commun ainsi qu'une adoption de l'Euro pas une très grande majorité des pays de l'UE sont nécessaires. Je
sais que la pluralité des cultures, qui sont la base de l'UE, semblent s'opposer à ces idées. Mais j'ai confiance
en ma génération et je suis certains qu'à l'heure ou certains jeunes semblent se perdre dans le monde qui est
le notre, ce type de projet peut les fédérer et leur donner un réel espoir.

La confiance absolue au marché et aux opérateurs économiques a montré ses limites. L'Europe doit avoir le
courage de promouvoir un cadre clair et des règles qui limitent les profits abusifs de certains spéculateurs et
protègent les plus faibles qui sont soumis à toujours plus de précarité et flexibilité. Je n'ai pas d'idée concrête
sur les moyens à mettre en oeuvre, sans doute une certaine harmonisation fiscale, mais aussi des règles
précisant/ imposant la redistribution des profits également vers les travailleurs et limitant les profits exorbitants
de certains. La relance économique doit évidemment être une priorité, mais elle doit être 'juste', les milliards
qui sont injectés dans le système de par le monde doivent servir au bien de tous et à la mise en place d'une
économie plus transparente, responsable.

préservation de l'emploi. il faudrait réfléchir sur les moyens de créer des emplois qualifié, lesquels seraient
la base d'une relance économique pour la consommation. De plus, il faut s'arranger à ce que les européens
consomment européen le plus possible, de façon à créer un cycle vertueux. Il ne s'agit pas de fermer les
frontières ! mais de mieux régulariser les échanges. Des pays qui n'ont pas de droit du travaille ou qui en ont,
mais beaucoup protecteurs des droits et des libertés ont des avantages non négligeable. Il ne faut pas que

La france a rejetée cette idée, qui me paraissait bonne. Des marchés récemment ouverts à la concurrence

l'accès à la connexion internet (obligation de faire activer la ligne par france télécom puis attente d'annulation
du contrat par l'opérateur choisi, pour ma part sfr). De même, la téléphonie mobile en france, cantonnée
à 3 opérateurs massifs (bouygues, sfr, orange) rend facile les ententes de fait sur les prix des sms ou des
communications, l'idée serait d'en rajouter un 4ème pour renforcer d'autant plus le choix dans la diversité des

non seulement un monde meilleur à nos enfants, mais aussi d'éliminer enfin les égoïsmes partisans et les
nationalismes obtus. Le pouvoir n'est pas l'apanage des américains ou du monde occidental. Pour arriver à
une Europe démocratique dans le sens le plus large du mot les européens doivent être encouragés ou invités
à participer à tous les aspects de la vie en société, au contraire des habitudes actuelles des gouvernements

de profiter des pays où le niveau de vie est bas et où l'on exploite les gens afin que certains s'enrichissent

idée heureusement est entrain de monter chez les concitoyens européens. La crise a bon dos quand on
ferme les yeux sur ceux qui profitent et qui sont les petits copains de nos gouvernants. Et maintenant on fait

L'Europe doit assurer un cadre transparent et correct aux activités économiques et veiller aussi à assurer une

excessive de certains tout en protégeant les plus faibles. L'Europe doit contribuer utilement et proactivement à
la défense de l'environnement, nous devons essayer de ne pas détruire notre vieux continent déjà surexploité
et contribuer à la protection de la planète, l'Europe ne devrait pas exporter ses déchets, mais aider les pays
les moins développés à intégrer la notion du développement durable et de la protection de l'environnement
dans leurs politiques. Un partenariat solide avec une nouvelle administration américaine devrait permettre
de progresser. La protection des consommateurs doit également être assurée. L'Europe doit encourager
des politiques ambitieuses en matière de développement, contribuer au dialogue interculturel, encourager la
tolérance, mais exiger également la tolérance et le respect de la différence par ses partenaires. Ce n'est qu'en

l'inter-comprehension, l'échange culturel et l'écoute. Eduquer les européeens à mieux comprendre l'autre
(langue, culture) non pas en assimilant, en apprenant à faire comme mais en cherchant à interagir et à

sur le quotidien de la vie des citoyens ordinaires: traçabilité des aliments, vêtements, autres produits =

jeunes (qui coûtent moins chers dans l'entreprise) et les plus diplômés (sortant de l'univ et sans expérience
donc peu coûteux) sans tenir compte de l'expérience des anciens ni de leur "valeur ajoutée". Si un retraité
veut travailler que ce soit par amour du travail ou pour améliorer ses fins de mois, il est "surtaxé" et en fin de
compte n'améliore vraiment pas ses fins de mois. C'est la même chose dans les institutions européennes,
où les plus âgés sont déconsidérés et dévalorisés. Les procédures sont telles qu'on permet à des personnes
super diplômées de passer des concours AST1 ce qui fait d'ailleurs de mauvais AST1, frustrés et prêts à tout
pour quitter dès que possible ce type d'emploi (par des CCP reconvertis en contrat d'Agents temporaires de
grade AD, par ex.) mais on interdit aux plus anciens qui ont la motivation et l'ambition et surtout l'expérience
de passer des concours AD car ils n'ont pas de diplômes universitaires. Sans parler de l'âge de la retraite qui
a été prolongés pour les nouveaux recrutés. Sans parler de la difficulté pour les plus anciens de changer de

Je trouve que ce sont les dirigents avec leur appétit démesuré qui ont -crée- cette crise que nous subissons
de plein fouet. Pourquoi les personnes les plus fragiles doivent payer et que certains managers qui ont mal
fait leur travail sont renvoyés avec un parachute doré. Il faudrait penser à partager plus équitablement. Les
européens reprochent à la Turquie de ne pas respecter les droits de l'homme, cependant en europe ce n'est

137. Economie - Place des religions. (importance: 64%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 11)
L'union devrait accepter la concurrence faussée que représentent les secteurs nationalisés. En effet, il n'est
pas démontré que la concurrence avantage les usagers. Pourquoi les gouvernement successifs suppriment
ils sans arrêts des fonctionnaires des services publics? ceci doit cesser, car ils ont un rôle essentiel dans le
pacte républicain. Sur la place des religions, la conception laïque française héritée des combats anticléricaux
de 1905 doit être renforcée. Nous ne voulons pas du communautarisme anglais ni de ses dérives logiques :
des tribunaux de la charia auxquels ont abandonne une partie de la communautée nationale! l'enfermement
des femmes soumises au bon vouloir d'agitateurs religieux est un scandale. Ce n'est pas le rôle des religieux,
même "modérés" de dire le droit, ni de faire respecter l'ordre public. L'Europe doit s'attacher à renforcer et
généraliser le modèle français, afin de promouvoir la citoyenneté et éviter l'enfermement dans une identité
religieuse. L'Europe n'a pas à dialoguer avec les représentants religieux, de quelque confession que ce soit.
138. Fusion des entreprises publiques (importance: 64%, disagreement: 35, evaluations: 15)

139. économie, dévaloration des diplomes (importance: 63%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 14)
Je ne voudrais pas entrer dans les détailles de la crise économique car en fait dans chaque pays, la situation
est différente mais il faudrait trouver un New Deal 2009 - 20?? qui pourrait remédier les problemes de
base, en faite le systeme général. En ce qui concerne les diplomes, le probleme c'est qu'il y a de plus en
plus d'université et d'institut au sein de l'Union Européenne et l'entrée á l'éducation supérieure est devenue
une chose facile, donc de plus en plus de gens y vont et obtiennent un diplome. Mais á cause de cette
augmentation des diplomes obtenues, c'est tres difficile de trouver de l'emploi. Donc il faudrait quand- meme
établir des criteres plus strictes pour pouvoir arriver aux universités.

143. inventer un nouveau style d'échange (importance: 63%, disagreement: 36, evaluations: 10)
L'autorégulation des espèces végétales et animales, est une règle froide qui obéit à un équilibre dont
l'être humain d'aujourd'hui tente désespérément de s'extraire :il faut qu'une espèce vive ou meure pour la
seule et unique raison qu'elle se doit, après avoir mangé, de nourrir à son tour. Hors, armés de notre seule
intelligence, de ce que nous appelons avec fierté notre "humanité", nous avons fini par croire que nous
pourrons nous extraire de la condition première propre à toute espèce vivant sur la planète Terre... L'argent,
cette belle abstraction née de millénaires d'échanges de richesses et de connaissances entre peuples, n'est
qu'une pâle copie de la loi naturelle et immuable de l'autorégulation. La seule différence, de taille toutefois,
c'est que certains hommes détiennent à eux seuls assez d'argent et donc de pouvoir, pour influer sur le
choix du moment où d'autres hommes disparaitrons. Les exemples sont légions, du prix du pétrole au prix
des céréales alimentaires. Il existe déjà une taxe sur l’eau la même viendra surement pour avoir le droit
de respirer un air dépollué. Il suffira donc d'augmenter considérablement le prix de l'air respirable pour se
débarrasser d'une frange de la population... Athée ou croyant, il faut nous rendre à l'évidence, l'humanité
n'aura finalement rien inventé. Nous aurons juste été capable d'une prise de pouvoir violente et éphémère...

Il n'est pas normal qu'un certain nombre de pays économiquement faibles "plombent" d'autres nations
relativement stables. La répartition des aides financiaires devraient faire l'objet d'un contrôle plus stricte
quant à leur application. L'exemple du Portugal est flagrant en matière de dilapidation inconsidérée des
aides financiaires. 2500 écoles fermées en quatre ans ! Des stades de foot neufs à coup de millions ! Et en
plus il est question d'un TGV alors que le pays se targue d'arriver par tradition toujours en retard ! Trêve de
plaisanterie... Mr Barroso, un peu plus d'ordre et de mesure, du bon sens et la reprise en main de nations
incapables de s'autogérer. Depuis treize ans que je suis dans votre beau pays, je trouve vraiment désolant
l'incomp´tence des politiques et la misère ambiante.

l'économie étant le nerf de la guerre, la maîtrise des flux financiers et de capitaux de façon commune à

147. Dans le domaine économique (importance: 55%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 8)
Depuis la crise, l'Europe doit redonner un sens dans la gestion financière de façon à ce que les Européens
puissent avoir confiance et continue à consommer. Les entreprises ont du mal à trouver des financements et
l'Union doit aussi trouver un terrain d'entente liée à la délocalisation, beaucoup d'entreprises ferment dans
de très nombreux pays. Enfin, la TVA est un problème majeur et harmoniser les taux seraient un moyen de
recreer une dynamique dans l'UE.

Il faut retourner a l'esprit du traité de Rome. Le Portugal c'est un ancien pays et pour la grande partie des
nationaux, la perspective de la fin de l'independence et la constante intromission de la Comission dans nos
affaires, devient de plus en plus insuportable. L' UE n'a pas aucun droit de intervenir dans notre politique
étrangere, specialement vis a vis avec les pays de la CPLP.
151. les entreprises (importance: 46%, disagreement: 31, evaluations: 8)
L'UE doit pouvoir harmoniser les règles pour les entreprises afin que celle-ci puissent être plus compétitive et
que l'administration soit moins lourde pour les entreprises.
152. un libre échange "réglementé" davantage protectionniste ! (importance: 44%, disagreement: 35,

C'est à dire mettre en place des taxes provisoires visant à à compenser les écarts entre les normes sociales
et économiques des différents pays, ceci afin d'encourager les pays émergeant à adopter un système social,
économique et écologique plus développé. Ce fond d'ailleurs permettrait de les aider à augmenter leurs
protections sociales et écologiques. Personnellement, en France je ne vois qu'un alignement vers le bas de la
protection sociale et des salaires. C'es ça l'Europe ?
153. Supprimer l'octroi des allocations de chômage longue durée (importance: 41%, disagreement: 32,
evaluations: 11)
Le chômage doit rester un revenu de remplacement en cas de licenciement max un an le temps de retrouver
un nouveau job, de suivre une formation,... après 6mois de recherche et à condition de ne pas suivre une
formation, les chômeurs devraient aller bosser pour le montant qu'ils gagnent au chômage. Il y a plein
de choses à faire, garderie dans les écoles (qui maintenant sont payantes -> scandaleux), aider dans les
administrations comunales, les crèches, animation des plaines de vacances, tout le monde se plaint qu'il n'y
a pas assez de personnel. De plus je connais plein de gens qui travaillent au noir et touche le chômage, pour
finir ils ont des super gros salaires en ne faisant à moitié rien! Et nous devons cotiser pour ça. Je suis pour
l'aide quand il faut mais complètement contre l'assistanat! Les chômeurs peuvent donc aider les familles à
diminuer les factures de garde des enfants donc aider dans la crise économique directement à notre niveau.

L'Europe est un ensemble vaste, un écosystème complexe qui comprend un nombre important de personnes
sur un territoire relativement peu important. La protection de l'environnement doit donc y jouer un rôle
particulièrement important. Cela est déjà le cas pour partie, cependant toutes les applications nationales faites
de dispositions européennes ne sont pas égales. le droit Suédois de l'environnement est très différent du droit
polonais. il me semble que l'Europe doit etre plus directive et imposer "la clause de l'environnement le plus
protégé", cette mesure établirait un baromètre des législations nationales et imposeraient à toute l'Europe de
suivre les législations les plus avancées. cela n'est pas réalisable en pratique pour la raison que les disparités
économiques et géographiques sont importantes, mais il faut que l'Union Européenne soit un modèle en
matière de protection de l'environnement et cherche à étendre ce modèle partout dans le monde. Il me
semble qu'une sensibilisation directe des citoyens est indispensable, mais encore mal gérée.

qu'il ce battent pour savoir : "comment vivre sans aide". De plus je pense que l'union ce mes a une place qui
sera risible dans quelque décennies et oui car les OGM notamment sont bénéfique a notre agriculture mais
seulement si nous les produisons nous même sinon il ne sont qu'un moyen supplémentaire pour les États
Unis de nous mener a la Baguette ... La démarche des Néo conservateur mixé avec l'envie d'être tous les

consommation des biens locaux. Non seulement, ceci diminuera l'impact des transports sur l'environnement
et ceci renforcera en même temps les petits producteurs locaux et donc l'économie européenne en général.
Pour y parvenir, des taxes sur les kilomètres parcourus doivent être mises en place. La façon la plus simple

A travers des aides prodiguées à la recherche-développement et à la recherche appliquée, et le
développement de programmes comme d'instruments incitatifs communs à l'intention des habitants de l'Union,
accélérer la production des dispositifs de production énergétique à zéro émissions dans l'environnement, en

Ces trois thèmes sont étroitement liés. L'action de l'Union européenne a une valeur ajoutée forte lorsqu'elle
agit comme effet de levier pour développer la croissance et les emplois dans l'Union européenne. La priorité
environnementale est également indispensable, ainsi que la cohésion. La stratégie de l'Union doit tendre vers
une croissance durable et respectueuse de l'environnent, prenant en compte l'ensemble des territoires, en
s'appuyant sur le principe de solidarité.
Certains députés européens ont commencé à voir la lumière : investir dans les énergies vertes, ça crée de
l'emploi qualifié et ça aide à combattre le changement climatique. Simple et efficace. Oui c'est du long terme,
mais à force de se focaliser principalement sur les profits à court terme, on voit où on en arrive.

Une fois encore, l'Europe devrait encourager la consommations des biens locaux et décourager les
consommateurs d'acheter des biens qui ont parcourus trop de kilomètres. De plus, il faut également remettre
les pendules à l'heure sur les biens saisonniers. Les fraises et les tomates au mois de janvier ne sont pas
des choses qui devraient être normales. Chaque produit alimentaire doit respecter sa saison et il faut qu'on
réapprenne à chaque citoyen à consommer ce qu'on produit en chaque saison.

produit chimique soit interdit, autant en agriculture, que dans les produits alimentaires, dans l'industrie,
dans les produits ménagers et à l'interieur des habitations. Qu'on développe les énergie renouvelables et

Les biofuels offrent une alternative crédible face aux carburants fossiles et permettent en outre de réduire les
émissions de CO2 (dans le cas des biofuels à base d'algues, qui piègent plus de CO2 lors de leur croissance
qu'il n'en est émis lors de la combustion du biodiesel). Les biotechnologies peuvent apporter beaucoup
dans ce secteur où tout reste à faire, c'est pourquoi il serait souhaitable que l'UE renforce ses mesures
d'encouragement des biofuels.

Les jeunes doivent être la grande priorité de l'Europe. Il convient de leur apprendre des bases plurilinguistes
afin de leur permettre un grande mobilité à travers l'Union Européenne et le monde. Les travaux manuels et
intellectuels doivent être combinés. La formation ne peut se concevoir hors du monde du travail (entreprises,
administrations publiques). Un réforme des universités européennes serait intéressante si elle va autant
dans le sens des employeurs (entreprises et administrations publiques), que dans le sens des universités :
professionnalisation, ouverture plus grande des universités (au niveau européen, et mondial), les filières de
sciences humaines doivent être préservées et professionnalisantes, la participation des entreprises doit se
limiter à la formation en contexte réel des futurs travailleurs.
266. -L'éducation (importance: 90%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 9)
Le niveau moyen de l'éducation en Europe est me semble-t-il plus faible que pour les générations qui nous
ont précédées, de plus, l'accès au grandes études est résérvé au catégories sociale supérieures ce qui met
dans la marge une grande partie des jeunes qui souhaiteraient étudier mais ne peuvent se le permettre. Il est
a mon avis tres important pour l'UE de pointer sur l'education et d'investir dans ce secteur.

Pour que l'idée de l'Europe s'enracine chez les gens (en particulier les Français chez qui c'est difficile), il faut
qu'une identité européenne naisse, et que les Européens la partagent. Nous avons une histoire commune,
des cultures assez proches, mais des pays différents : il faut faire ressentir les points communs aux gens. Et
la meilleure solution est de commencer par les jeunes : encourager les voyages, les échanges, etc. Erasmus
est une merveilleuse idée, qu'il faut développer.
293. L'éducation!!! (importance: 81%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 17)
Comment peut-on attendre d'un peuple qu'il soit libre si on ne lui donne pas les moyens de former son
esprit critique? A moins que libérer les esprits ne soit pas la priorité de nos dirigeants... Nos opinions sont
prémachées, on nous apprend à être des gouvernés et des assistés de la pensée. Ça devient insupportable.
Il faut continuer à soutenir les programmes d'échange inter-européens, les étendre au monde entier même! Et
valoriser l'expérience professionnelle et l'enrichissement personnel et culturel acquises à travers des séjours
prolongés à l'étranger. Voyaegr, bouger, aller voir ce qui se passe ailleurs, il n'y a rien de tel pour s'ouvrir

Je suis une ex-étudiante tchèque originairement d'une petit ville avoisinant la frontière slovaque. Je suis
vénue étudier dans le cadre d'ERASMUS à Paris. Depuis je vis en France. Après cinq années passées en
France je constate que la possibilité de faire valoir les dipômes européens et s'intégrer ainsi dans la société
locale est plus qu' illusoire. De plus, la possibilité d'étudier dans un établissement scolaire de renommée
est limitée. Non seulement que certains écoles(surtout les écoles qui ont du prestige) favorisent clairement
des candidats de certains nationalité (allemande,russe,britannique par exemple) - ce qui a un rapport avec
les intérêts d'ordre économiques et commercial de l'établissement, mais la non-transparence du processus
international d'admission ne donne au candidat aucun moyen pour porter de recours. Les jurys décident
du destin d'un candidat ad hoc sans que ce dernier puisse réelement participer. Même si la legislation
européenne concernant les études et la circulation des étudiants/chercheurs est entrée en vigueur depuis
long temps, la pratique d'application de celle-ci est différente. Je constate, que jusqu'à présent il n'existe
aucun moyen régulatif européen garantissant l'équité des candidats étrangers. De plus, même si on reconnait
le diplôme européen, ce dernier ne vaut pas grand chose car: 1) le systèmes educatifs des pays europeens
ne sont pas égaux (conditions d'acquisition des diplômes varient)
les règles d'inscription dans une université d'un pays de l'Union en vennt d'un autre pays sont trop
compliquées. La Belgique par exemple est un pays qui est dissuasive sur ce point.

Avant de penser à intégrer de nouveaux pays dans l'union européenne, il est nécessaire de consolider cette
union entre les différents pays qui composent l'union européenne. L'effort doit à mon avis se concentrer sur
les secteurs précisés ci-dessus. Les institutions européennes doivent pouvoir influer grandement sur ces
secteurs et jouer un role majeur dans tous les pays de l'union. Aujourd'hui les européens attendent que l'union
européenne ait des domaines de compétences propres au sein des différents pays européens.

310. Informer les gens - éducation commune (importance: 77%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 18)
Bien que l'Union fasse des efforts depuis quelques temps pour que ses citoyens connaissent leurs institutions
et à quoi elles servent, on entend encore trop souvent des gens en parler comme des centres de décisions
bureaucratiques inutiles voir nuisibles. Les projets du Parlement et de la Commission sont bien trop peu
souvent mis en valeur dans les médias. Quand ceux-ci sont populaires, les politiciens locaux en reprennent
le mérite sinon, ils jettent le blâme sur l'Europe. Il faudrait donc faire en sorte que les médias informent
les citoyens des décisions communautaires afin de montrer à la population qui a décidé quoi exactement.
Dans un domaine tout à fait différent, je trouve que l'Europe ne profite pas assez de sa grande chance : sa
multitude de cultures. L'éducation de la population pourrait être grandement enrichie par la découverte de
cette mosaïque qui compose leur continent. Les programmes scolaires sont nationaux et centrés sur eux-
mêmes. En Belgique, personne ne pourrait résumer l'histoire de la Pologne ou de la Hongrie et la littérature
italienne semble ne pas exister ... Il serait donc selon moi intéressant de pousser à la création de liens entre
les établissements scolaires des différents pays-membres et de réformer l'éducation de façon commune.

Même si l'UE intervient dans le domaine social, ses actions passent inaperçues. Ne serait-ce parce que la

citoyen européen que l'Europe sociale existe bel et bien et qu'elle est à son service.

priorité. Mais osez surtout FAIRE. Toutes les infortunes actuelles ont été engendrées et pratiquées par des
gens techniquement très bien préparés. Ce qui a manqué? L'éducation. Nous sommes en train de vivre une
illusion fatale et enseignons - tous les jours - à des milliers de jeunes que le chemin se fait mieux quand on
peut tromper le partenaire. Que vite fait et bien fait, c'est la corruption! À tous les niveaux et n'importe de
quelle manière. Osez contrarier et bannir ce sale héritage. L'Europe est en train d'être écrasée par la force de

Un des plus grands acquis de l'Europe est la plus grande mobilité des étudiants , étant moi même étudiants
j'ai néanmoins rencontrés des problèmes pour un échange Erasmus , l'administration de mon école n'ayant
pu seule faire face aux nombreuses demandes selon moi le rêve européen (ma définition propre pour la
mobilité étudiante ;) ) existe bel et bien , mais je pense qu'il faudrait encore investir davantage , ne serait ce
qu'en augmentant les moyens alloués aux bourses Erasmus inciter davantage les écoles à proposer des
échanges , et pê même qui sait en arriver à ce que l'échange devienne une étape courante de la formation
personnellement je suis étudiant dans le domaine des arts (arts de la paroles/théâtre) et dans ce domaine je
pense que l'on peut encore mieux faire rencontrer de nouvelles cultures , de nouvelles façons de voir , de
vivre et même d'enrichir son cursus universitaire , sont autant d'éléments du rêve européen comme je le vois

Qu'est-ce que l'UE, à quoi servent les différents traités, à quoi servent les institutions, pourquoi l'UE existe-
t-elle,...? Ce sont des questions de base auxquelles beaucoup de gens ne savent répondre. Je pense qu'un
cours sur l'Union Européenne est nécessaire pour chaque écolier du continent. A côté de ça, je pense que
l'histoire de l'Europe Centrale et de l'Est est méconnue parmis la la jeuness de l'Ouest. Comment espérer
construire un sentiment européen si la moitié des belges ne connait même pas l capitale slovène? Les cours
d'histoire doivent être renforcé de sorte à ce que chaque citoyen ait une connaissance de ce qui se passe de
l'autre côté de l'Europe (les programmes Erasmus à cet égard ne suffisent pas).

Urgent de travailler à travers l'éducation sur une nouvelles génération d'êtres humains dont les priorités se
tournent vers la gestion de notre propre humanité : cela induit meilleure gestion émotionnelle, développement
du sens de l'écoute et de la compréhension, équilibre en général entre son propre monde intérieur et les
autres. les êtres humains sont puissant et créatifs, tant qu'ils ne sont pas éduqués à comprendre leur propre
potentiel psychologique, ils détruiront leur monde par ignorance, par peur et par cupidité. Puisque la plus
grande partie des dangers qui nous menacent semblent provenir de nous-même, il semblerait urgent de
remettre en cause notre façon de gérer nos sociétés et notre propension à un égoïsme exacerbé et absurde
du point de vue même de la survie, pour ne pas encore parler de la belle vie! Les jeunes ont besoin que ces
sujets deviennent prioritaires. Ils en ont marre de devoir ressembler à des prédateurs ou bien à des fourmis.
Nous sommes des êtres humains dignes de développer convenablement notre société en comprenant à quel
point tout est interdépendant et à quel point chacun d'entre nous est important dans ce puzzle. Donc, une
éducation vers un développement de la conscience, de la paix et de l'empathie intelligente. Merci.

De plus en plus de parents travaillent à deux pour offrir le meilleur à nos enfants. Il faut des strutures d'accueil
du plus jeune âge de l'enfants jusqu'à sa majoritéet ce dans tous les pays européens. Où on leur enseigne
des valeurs de respect, partage, tolérance. Où ils sont entourer de professionnelles pouvant les initier à des
sports, à des activités manuelles (couture, cuisine, coiffure, nettoyage). C'est vrai que c'est dommage de
déléguer tout ça mais dans le monde actuel, nous n'avons plus le choix,il faut travailler. Toutes ces structures
créent de l'emploi, empêchent les jeunes de rester sans surveillance et d'avoir de mauvaise fréquentation.

Developper un système mixte entre le système belge qui consiste en des journées de cours finissant à 16h
environ, tout en ayant un enseigneent complet du point de vue scientifique comme linguistique. Permettre
à un étudiant de choisir non pas des options, mais des filières avec des systèmes de passerrelles qui
permettent de segmenter l'enseignement supérieur en plusieurs sections (j'ai étudié 16 ans en Belgique
(Gand) et fait ma terminale et la suite de mes études en France). Mais il faudrait y allier un système à
la française avec un diplome européen commun à toutes les écoles européennes afin d'optimiser une
comparabilité des diplomes permettant plus d'échanges inter-communautaire.

La lutte contre la fraude fiscale doit, s'il elle veut être efficace, être organisée au minimum au niveau européen
avec des échanges internationaux d'informations,... Réguler les hedges funds ou tout autre système
permettant de faire courir des risques aux autres citoyens. Il est également nécessaire d'avoir un contrôle

341. l'ecologie, l'environnement (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 16)
L'Europe est un ensemble vaste, un écosystème complexe qui comprend un nombre important de personnes
sur un territoire relativement peu important. La protection de l'environnement doit donc y jouer un rôle
particulièrement important. Cela est déjà le cas pour partie, cependant toutes les applications nationales faites
de dispositions européennes ne sont pas égales. le droit Suédois de l'environnement est très différent du droit
polonais. il me semble que l'Europe doit etre plus directive et imposer "la clause de l'environnement le plus
protégé", cette mesure établirait un baromètre des législations nationales et imposeraient à toute l'Europe de
suivre les législations les plus avancées. cela n'est pas réalisable en pratique pour la raison que les disparités
économiques et géographiques sont importantes, mais il faut que l'Union Européenne soit un modèle en
matière de protection de l'environnement et cherche à étendre ce modèle partout dans le monde. Il me
semble qu'une sensibilisation directe des citoyens est indispensable, mais encore mal gérée.

348. Arrêter de démanteler les Services publics (importance: 81%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 14)
Il est plus que temps de revenir à une saine conception des choses : le néo-libéralisme est incapable de
protéger les classes les plus faibles de la société européenne, et la libéralisation à outrance de l'économie
ne peut conduire qu'à une crise sociale, économique et politique sans équivalent dans le passé, et qui ne fait
que débuter. Il faut donc tout mettre en oeuvre pour que les États qui constituent l'Union Européenne puissent
jouer pleinement leur rôle en : - arrêtant la privatisation à outrance des Service publics (Postes, Transports
en commun, Enseignement, Sécurité sociale, Pensions, etc.) - re-nationalisant les principaux secteurs de
l'économie sans dédomagements par fonds publics des entrepreneurs privés - interdisant aux industriels
de délocaliser les industries même au sein de l'UE - taxant ceux qui continuerait à délocaliser et à licencier
leur personnel et en les obligeant à rembourser les aides publiques - cessant de combler les déficits des
banques, organismes privés, avec des fonds publics - cessant de soutenir financièrement des États soi-disant
indépendants comme le Kosovo, dont il faut traduire les dirigeants pour crimes de guerre devant le TPI -
cessant d'augmenter les budgets alloués à une organisation occupante comme l'OTAN, dont il faut cesser
immédiatement l'élargissement à l'Ukraine et à la Géorgie - cessant l'élargissement de l'UE, principalement à
la Turquie. Sur un autre plan, il faut mettre

Un autre domaine dans lequel le Parlement Européen est déjà très actif, est la dénonciations des pays qui ne
respectent pas les droits de l'homme, mais l'Union Européenne se doit de trouver des moyens de donner suite
à ces dénonciations, par des sanctions par exemple.

evaluations: 22)
législation sociale, justice, circulation routière, législation financière, taxation, immigration, sujétion des
législations "nationales" à la législation européenne, législation environnementale. En fait, l' Europe ne devrait
exister que pour harmoniser toutes les relations entre les pays qui la composent et disposer des moyens
de rendre les lois et règlements obligatoires. A partir de cette unité de droits et devoirs, la communauté
deviendrait une évidence et non plus un objectif

Si les taux de fiscalités, taxes, sur les salaires, les services et les biens étaient identiques, les différences

358. Principe de non discrimination selon le lieu de résidence. (importance: 77%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 18)
Il existe un principe de non-discrimination selon la nationalité dans l'UE. Je pense qu'il faudrait rajouter un
principe de non-discrimination selon le lieu de résidence. De nombreuses personnes étudiant avec moi, en
Belgique, n'ont pas accès à un tas de services quotidiens (location de DVD, ...). Ces étudiants sont résidents
du Luxembourg, de France, de Hongrie, ... Ils ne sont pas là dans le cadre d'un Erasmus mais pour cinq
années complète si tout ce passe bien. Ils restent en Belgique l'année scolaire et rentrent chez leurs, où ils
sont légalement résidents, pour les vacances. Résultat, dix mois par an, ils sont discriminés! Certes, cela
peut paraître pas grand chose, mais c'est un petit qui s'inscrit dans un ensemble de choses.
359. Europe sociale; Lutte contre la discrimination; démocracie (importance: 76%, disagreement: 20,

On ne peut pas à la fois vouloir être un modèle pour le reste du monde et dépenser des millions dnas
l'aide humanitaire et avoir chez soi des situations chocantes de pauvreté et d'exclusion sociale. Même si
le libéralisme est une bonne solution, il ne peut pas se transformer en capitalisme sauvage et alimenter
l'inégalité. Par ailleurs, peut être qu'une éducation depuis le plus jeune âge dans le sens que l'Europe en
particulier et le monde en général appartient à tous les Hommes, et non pas à telle nationalité ou race ou
religion qui serait "supérieur", pourrait contribuer à la génèse de générations sans préjugés et plus tolérantes.
La démocratie participative et l'augmentation de la transparence ont aussi certainement un rôle à jouer.

l'union européenne doit protéger les droits fondamentaux de chaque citoyen européen. Pour cela, il faut une
Europe plus réactive avec des décisions de Bruxelles plus rapide, plus de points presse délocalisés, des
décisions judiciaires européennes plus rapide. Il faut que l'europe rentre dans la société de l'information en

Les pays de l'Union - comme la Belgique - ne respectent pas la législation et imposent des procédures

Il très important de changer la bureaucratie dans laquelle l'Europe semble se figer. L'Europe doit désormais
adapter de nouvelles règles précises concernant l'économie européenne. Il est très important également
pour les grand acteurs européens de se rendre dans les classes, universités et même dans les grandes villes
des pays de l'union européenne afin de s'adresser directement aux citoyens afin de déceler les véritables
problèmes des gens, et ainsi de pouvoir diriger des politiques ciblées, pour les citoyens. Il serait très

Le taux de présence des députés français n'est pas un critère pour le versement de l'indemnité parlementaire,
contrairement à la situation au parlement européen. L'UE devrait peut être proposer aux Etats membres (et
plus particulièrement, à la France) de réviser ce type de règlement. Il est scandaleux que certains projets/
propositions de lois soient votés à 35 députés, comme ce fut le cas avec le projet de loi Hadopi.
377. Réguler les prix de l'immobilier à usage d'habitation. (importance: 66%, disagreement: 30,

J'estime, que pour tout Européen, voir même citoyen de ce monde, la priorité est d'avoir un toit et à mangé.
L'histoire nous montre, que chaque crise de l'immobilier, entraine avec elle une crise sociale et économique.
J'aimerais que l'on impose, un critère social dans l'union, qui permettrait à chaque citoyen Européen, de
pouvoir se payer son toit en 15 ou 20 ans. Que les plus value soient très fortement taxé sur les ventes
immobilières à usage d'habitation entre les particuliers. Un marché immobilier dynamique est garante d'une
économie locale et à long terme. Cela permettra une régulation des prix sans interventionnisme. En échange,
on pourrait imposer aux citoyens des mises aux normes de sécurité ou environnementale, et utiliser une partie
des ces taxes, pour financer le développement durable et les crédits d'impôt pour les travaux de mises aux
normes. Les citoyens achètes une habitation, dans un but d'avoir une vie harmonieuse, et non pas à des buts
spéculatifs. Merci au système financier, qui par leurs dérives ont conduit a une augmentation des prix, en
rendant l'accès de plus de plus impossible à la masse, et par conséquent à la crise actuel.

evaluations: 18)
Malgré mes autres entrées dans ce questionnaire, je voudrais conclure cet avis, Monsieur Barroso, par un
message simple: l'Union Européenne est un organisme supra national qui se devrait en tout, ou presque, de
laisser la vie quotidienne des citoyens... aux citoyens, ou à leurs représentans élus les plus directs, leurs éus
locaus, municipaux ou régionaux. Autant il y a des choses dont l'Union doit se préoccuper: les relations entre
Etats, la sécurité des frontières, les transports internationaux, ou la protection des droits des citoyens; autant
la vie quotidienne devrait être gérée au niveau le plus bas possible. L'harmonisation à tout crin n'est pas uen
fin en soi. Au contraire, la diversité est source heureuse de compétition et de richesse. De nombreux Etats
fédéraux (USA, Suisse) ont des législations locales extrêmement différentes, depuis les taxes jusqu'au droit
pénal. Tout cela est parfait. Que l'UE se charge donc plutot de ce qui doit absolument et nécessairement être
harmonisé. Les Etats apprécieront et les citoyens feront, comme il se doit dans une démocratie, leur choix.

Les règles en vigueur dans l'union européenne peuvent parfois dépasser les situation envisagées par le
législateur. La mise en place d'un marché intérieur est un des atouts principaux del'U.E, cependant, il doit
s'accompagner d'une véritable législation prenant en compte l'aspect social des conséquences qu'il entraîne.
(cfr série d'arrêts de la cour de justice des communautés européennes et le "décret" du parlement européen
contre ces jugements.) Bref, l'extension de l'Etat de droit à ces nouvelles situations.

384. Selon le principe de subsidiarité, elle ne le devrait pas! (importance: 56%, disagreement: 35,
evaluations: 9)
Si on en croit le principe de subsidiarité qui, par écrit via les différents traités , anime l'UE, elle ne devrait pas
intervenir au quotidien. Par définition, elle est une union de nations amies, composés de peuples amis, mais
l'union n'est pas la fusion. Comme on ne peut pas imposer le quotidien des uns aux autres, on ne peut pas
non plus "créer" un quotidien européen que l'on imposerait à tous ces peuples amis. L'Europe est pour moi,
une union qui doit repérer les bonnes choses dans le quotidien des uns pour le proposer au quotidien des
autres, et non pas l'imposer par une législation contraignante, et ce ni aux nations ni aux peuples. Pour ce qui
est de la politique internationale, il en va différemment, car il ne s'agit plus de rapport entre les peuples amis,
mais de ces peuples amis avec l'extérieur. Là l'Europe a toute sa légitimité pour légiférer, que se soit sur le
plan économique, commercial, militaire et diplomatique. Comme l'adage le dit l'union fait la force. A quand
donc une protection commerciale et économique pour les membres de l'Union? A quand donc une politique
militaire commune, avec (et avec seuls) les menbres de l'UE? C'est cela qu'attendent les citoyens européens
de l'UE au quotidien: une sécurité et une indépendance, bref une liberté à se construire.

Une Europe forte et bien ancrée dans la configuration géopolitique actuelle est, à mon sens, une europe
politiquement et culturellement unie. Aujourd'hui, pour beaucoup de mes connaissances, l'Europe n'est
qu'abstraction, une "grande tirelire commune qui fait quelques règlements par ci par là" m'a t-on une fois dit.
Je crois en une autre Europe, une qui se rapproche plus de sa devise, une au plus proche des citoyens, plus
accessible, plus présente. Aussi, il me semble bon de promouvoir les bases politiques de l'Europe en, par
exemple, supprimant le principe d'unanimité. Mettre tout le monde d'accord est impossible, il y a beaucoup
de diversité, c'est pour cela que pour amener la conconrdre, il faut que certains fassent des concessions ou
décide de ne plus pénaliser l'édifice naissant. Sensibiliser les populations aux bienfaits réels de l'Europe me
semble une condition sine qua non à une Europe forte et ouverte.

développement durable, arrêter d'aider et de subventionner les secteurs de l'économie dits traditionnels, pour
nous pousser à changer notre quotidien.
403. Dans le domaine transfrontalier (importance: 84%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 4)
L'Europe sera plus forte avec "soudures" ou bassins de vie frontaliers forts, dans le domaine des services
publics, dans le domaine culturel etc ...
405. harmonisation sociale (importance: 84%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 15)
travaillant dans plusieurs pays de l'UE, j'ai constate un ecart entre les legislations sociales qui servent a faire
du dumping economique. L'Europe doit se construire ensemble et non les uns contre les autres. Seule une
harmonisation des fiscalites et des prestations sociales permettrait d'atteindre une veritable communaute
europeenne
406. Dévelloper les transports en commun (importance: 84%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 20)
Investir dans les transports en commun avec des fréquences et des horaires le plus larges possible de
manière à pousser les gens à les utiliser. En parrallèle, augmenter les taxes sur les véhicules pour dissuader
les gens d'utiliser la voiture pour aller travailler. Ou donner des primes ou compensation en nature (quelques
litres de chauffage gratuits, entrées à des parcs, w-e loisirs...) pour ceux qui utilisent les transports en
commun

Dès l'école, instruire TOUS les écoliers par des cours OBLIGATOIRES sur les institutions de l'UE. Car, sans
une jeunesse éduquée, pas de citoyens > donc pas d'électeurs > donc pas de vote > donc pas d'Europe
politique ! IL EST PRIMORDIAL AUSSI de faire ce travail d'éducation dans la population adulte par des
CAMPAGNES DE PUBLICITE et d'EXPLICATION MASSIVES par l'envoi de tracts dans TOUTES LES
BOITES AUX LETTRES des citoyens de l'UE. Ces campagnes doivent être répétées tous les 3 mois pendant
2 ans. C'est à ce prix que les européens deviendront des CITOYENS EUROPEENS.
416. avoir une Europe plus forte (importance: 81%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 13)
En effet, je reprendrai les propos de Zaki Laïdi :"L'europe identifiée à Bruxelles est une forme politique
étrange, un objet politique baroque où l'esprit tatillon et notarial de ses bureaucrates coexisterait averc le
manque d'ambition géopolitique de l'europe". En effet, l'Europe doit passer d'une puissance civile, à une
puissance tranquille, comme le définit Todorov. Elle doit etre plus unie, ce qui éviterait des sarcasmes tels que
celui de Kinsinger "l'Europe quelle numéro?". De plus, il faut une immigration choisie, car la population est un
facteur de puissance (les Etats-Unis ont encore un accroissement naturel contrairement à celui de l'Europe".
Des chiffres ont assez inquiétants, en effet, la part des plus de 65 ans serait de 23% en 2030.

étrangère commune. Avoir UNE personne à sa tête. En gros, créer un Etat européen! Mais en douceur pour
ne pas choquer!
423. intégration, possibilité d' étudier (importance: 80%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 20)
Je suis une ex-étudiante tchèque originairement d'une petit ville avoisinant la frontière slovaque. Je suis
vénue étudier dans le cadre d'ERASMUS à Paris. Depuis je vis en France. Après cinq années passées en
France je constate que la possibilité de faire valoir les dipômes européens et s'intégrer ainsi dans la société
locale est plus qu' illusoire. De plus, la possibilité d'étudier dans un établissement scolaire de renommée
est limitée. Non seulement que certains écoles(surtout les écoles qui ont du prestige) favorisent clairement
des candidats de certains nationalité (allemande,russe,britannique par exemple) - ce qui a un rapport avec
les intérêts d'ordre économiques et commercial de l'établissement, mais la non-transparence du processus
international d'admission ne donne au candidat aucun moyen pour porter de recours. Les jurys décident
du destin d'un candidat ad hoc sans que ce dernier puisse réelement participer. Même si la legislation
européenne concernant les études et la circulation des étudiants/chercheurs est entrée en vigueur depuis
long temps, la pratique d'application de celle-ci est différente. Je constate, que jusqu'à présent il n'existe
aucun moyen régulatif européen garantissant l'équité des candidats étrangers. De plus, même si on reconnait
le diplôme européen, ce dernier ne vaut pas grand chose car: 1) le systèmes educatifs des pays europeens
ne sont pas égaux (conditions d'acquisition des diplômes varient)
424. Défense commune. (importance: 80%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 17)
Element du pouvoir régalien dans le cadre d'un Etat Européen. Naturellement, il faudrait sortir de l'OTAN (qui

un français qui parle allemand de travailler pour une société allemande qui n'a qu'une présence très limitée en
france. Créer un fonds européen pour le financement de certains projets d'avenir : développement de la fibre
optique, développement de réseaux de transports pour l'aménagement des territoires. Ceci reste pour l'instant
financé exclusivement à un niveau local : disparité entre états.

Il est plus que temps que les dirigeants de l'Union Européenne cessent de faire le jeu des banques, des
grands industriels, des grands actionnaires des multinationales de tout poil hébergés dans des paradis
fiscaux (contre lesquels on ne fait rien). Quelques mesures simplent s'imposent : - re-nationalisation de tous
les Services publics : transports en commun, postes, distribution d'eau et d'énergies, anciennes banques
publiques, pensions, Sécurité sociale; - imposition des revenus nets (et non bruts) des citoyens à faibles ou
moyens revenus; - imposition des revenus bruts des capitalistes et imposition des bénéfices des sociétés ne
ré-investissant pas leurs bénéfices; - interdiction de nouvelles délocalisation, avec amendes importantes et
exigence de restitution des subventions versées en ces de non-respect de l'interdiction; - création de multi-
nationales intra-européennes; - arrêt immédiat de la recherche de la performance et de la compétitivité à
tout prix; - sortie immédiate de l'OTAN avec arrêt de l'entretien des troupes d'occupation US dans l'UE (et
interdiction aux USA d'établir de nouvelles bases en Europe); - arrêt immédiat des perfusions financières aux
pseudo-États indépendants, comme le Monténégro ou le Kosovo, lesquelles nous coutent cher aux citoyens
des véritables États constituant l'UE; - aide à la reconstruction d'un État Yougoslave tel qu'à l'époque de Tito -

433. construire une Europe d'avantage politique, vraie diplomatie (importance: 78%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 18)
Il est nécessaire de s'attaquer de manière plus significative à l'approfondissement et faire une pause dans
les élargissements. Il faut également que l'Europe ait une voix diplomatique qui porte d'avantage sur la
scène internationale. Enfin, il est temps de construire une véritable défense européenne qui nous donne les
capacités de jouer un rôle sur les terrains extérieurs. L'Union a l'avantage de pouvoir jouer le rôle de "trait
d'union" entre le Nord et le Sud, l'Est et l'Ouest. Nous devons renforcer cet atout.
434. Informer les gens - éducation commune (importance: 77%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 18)
Bien que l'Union fasse des efforts depuis quelques temps pour que ses citoyens connaissent leurs institutions
et à quoi elles servent, on entend encore trop souvent des gens en parler comme des centres de décisions
bureaucratiques inutiles voir nuisibles. Les projets du Parlement et de la Commission sont bien trop peu
souvent mis en valeur dans les médias. Quand ceux-ci sont populaires, les politiciens locaux en reprennent
le mérite sinon, ils jettent le blâme sur l'Europe. Il faudrait donc faire en sorte que les médias informent
les citoyens des décisions communautaires afin de montrer à la population qui a décidé quoi exactement.
Dans un domaine tout à fait différent, je trouve que l'Europe ne profite pas assez de sa grande chance : sa
multitude de cultures. L'éducation de la population pourrait être grandement enrichie par la découverte de
cette mosaïque qui compose leur continent. Les programmes scolaires sont nationaux et centrés sur eux-
mêmes. En Belgique, personne ne pourrait résumer l'histoire de la Pologne ou de la Hongrie et la littérature
italienne semble ne pas exister ... Il serait donc selon moi intéressant de pousser à la création de liens entre
les établissements scolaires des différents pays-membres et de réformer l'éducation de façon commune.

435. Une Europe moins lointaine (importance: 77%, disagreement: 27, evaluations: 13)
Je pense qu'il est temps que l'Europe change son image, et adopte une position plus proche des citoyens.
Si elle n'adopte pas une telle positon, il sera en effet difficile pour elle de s'inscrire dans la pérennité. La
présentation actuelle de l'Union européenne, son éloignement, son apparence à être faite seulement pour
des élites, empêche le citoyen de prendre en compte son importance. Le développement des compétences
communautaires fait que l'Union européenne intervient aujourd'hui dans un nombre considérable de
domaines, il est donc nécessaire d'associer à son développement les citoyens, tout simplement parce qu'il est
question de leur avenir avant tout.
436. communiquer ensemble (importance: 77%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 8)
Un conservatoires des langues ayant pour but de garder la mémoire des langues, leur diffusion parmi les
populations européennes, le développement d'outils automatiques de traduction pour faciliter les échanges et
le développement d'un corps de linguistes d'élite chargé des points 1 et 2.
437. Rapprocher l'UE des citoyens (importance: 77%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 17)
Democratiser l'UE avec le mécanisme d'Early Warning incluant les parlements nationaux et régionaux.

439. Politique étrangère et coopération atlantique (importance: 76%, disagreement: 32, evaluations: 7)
Harmoniser la politique étrangère européenne selon des lignes claires ce afin de discuter sur un pied d'égalité

Il est temps que l'Union Europeenne harmonise l'ensemble des regles regissant le commerce, les services.
441. Une politique harmonisée d’immigration (importance: 76%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 22)
politique étrangère commune et intégration: la signature du Traité de Lisbonne est décidément un enjeu
majeur, et je crains pour l'Europe si elle échoue de nouveau. Mais l'intégration y est elle assez poussée?
comment continuer sans une voix commune, qui serait prépondérante dans les relations internationales, et
permettraient à l'UE de peser contre les autres puissances -et notamment les Etats-Unis?
443. harmonisation sociale (importance: 76%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 11)
445. L'union devrait favoriser les échanges intra-Union (importance: 76%, disagreement: 23, evaluations:

Bien qu'il existe des programmes permettant aux étudiants de partir à l'étranger grâce notamment au
programme Erasmus, ces échanges restent trop insuffisant. Pourquoi ne pas encourager plus ces échanges
par l'attribution de bourses plus attrayantes, une meilleure valorisation des diplômes obtenus dans un autre
pays de l'Union, de plus grandes campagnes d'information, des campus Erasmus...
446. Une Europe démocratique ! accès à la justice (importance: 75%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 13)
Il semble incroyable que l'Union européenne ne permette pas à ses citoyens d'avoir accès à la justice. Le
passage obligé par le filtre de la Commission qui reçoit les plaintes est d'autant plus choquant que personne
ne sait sur quels critères telle plainte est bien accueillie et telle autre est rejetée. La plainte conrre la France
qui ne protège pas sa faible population d'ours constitue un exemple parmi tant d'autres hélas ! Nous voulons
avoir accès directement à la Cour de Justice des Communautés européennes. Nous demandons que l'Union
européenne respecte la Convention d'Aarhus.
447. Harmonisation fiscale (importance: 75%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 17)
Les citoyens ne doivent plus être imposés par les EM mais par l'UE. Impot sur le revenu, sur les entreprises,

Coopération militaire et diplomatique loyales et réelles. Dorénavant la règle devrait être : le premier qui

Protection en matière de consommation (régles strictes de sécurité des produits de consommation dans

une information fiable et lisible de tout ce qui est produit ET importé. Protection sociale et de l'emploi : des
règles simples et claires pour éviter le dumping social dans et hors UE, et assurer à chaque personne voulant
travailler des conditions de travail valorisante et rémunératrices (donc limiter au nécessaire l'imposition et les
prélèvements sociaux) pour que les citoyens reprennent confiance dans l'entreprise et dans leurs propres
capacités. Protection environnementale : des programmes innovants et la valorisation des entreprises
et des associations qui luttent pour le développement durable et une croissance qui profite à tous et à
l'environnement. Les connaissances scientifiques et technologiques d'aujourd'hui sont très développées, des
programmes de recherche ambitieux peuvent être mis en oeuvre pour répondre aux défis qui se posent à

J'estime, que pour tout Européen, voir même citoyen de ce monde, la priorité est d'avoir un toit et à mangé.
L'histoire nous montre, que chaque crise de l'immobilier, entraine avec elle une crise sociale et économique.
J'aimerais que l'on impose, un critère social dans l'union, qui permettrait à chaque citoyen Européen, de
pouvoir se payer son toit en 15 ou 20 ans. Que les plus value soient très fortement taxé sur les ventes
immobilières à usage d'habitation entre les particuliers. Un marché immobilier dynamique est garante d'une
économie locale et à long terme. Cela permettra une régulation des prix sans interventionnisme. En échange,
on pourrait imposer aux citoyens des mises aux normes de sécurité ou environnementale, et utiliser une partie
des ces taxes, pour financer le développement durable et les crédits d'impôt pour les travaux de mises aux
normes. Les citoyens achètes une habitation, dans un but d'avoir une vie harmonieuse, et non pas à des buts
spéculatifs. Merci au système financier, qui par leurs dérives ont conduit a une augmentation des prix, en
rendant l'accès de plus de plus impossible à la masse, et par conséquent à la crise actuel.

Comment renforcer la coopération transfrontalière et atténuer l'existence des frontières dans les esprits?
L'idée est ici un jeu sur la fiscalité. La France, avec autorisation de la commission, a crée un statut de zone
franche urbaine, ou les entreprises s'y installant bénéficient d'avantages fiscaux non négligeable. L'enjeu en
est la revitalisation des territoires concernés. Pour ce qui est de la france, un paradoxe subsiste: nos territoires
frontaliers restent plus pauvres que ceux voisins, mais les français vont massivement faire leurs achats de
l'autre côté de la frontière (le cas de l'Espagne est ici criant de vérité). Pourquoi ne pas favoriser la création
d'espaces transfrontaliers à taux de TVA harmonisé (taux normal, réduit et super réduit) qui permettrait à la
fois de mieux faire du business en enlevant le "dumping" fiscal? Pour le cas de la zone transfrontalière franco-
espagnole, elle pourrait concerner les départements limitrophes, ainsi que leurs équivalents provinces de
l'autre côté de la frontière.

473. Améliorer l'intégration de nouveaux pays dans l'UE (importance: 64%, disagreement: 28, evaluations:

L'élargissement de l'Union européenne me semble nécessaire pour renforcer la position des européens
dans les échanges internationaux. Néanmoins, je pense qu'un effort doit être fait, et je dit cela sans
aucun nationalisme d'aucune sorte, j'ai l'impression que les nouveaux arivants sont moins bien intégré
qu'auparavant. La mixité est une richesse indéniable du peuple européen mais elle ne doit pas enrayer le
fonctionnement des institutions européennes. Je pense que l'adhésion des nouveaux Etats membres devrait
se faire plus lentement afin de paufiner le processus d'intégration de ces derniers. Car, au départ, l'union
n'était composé que de pays d'europe occidentale ayant un passé commun indéniable. Désormais nous
avous, ou souhaitons, intégrer des Etats qui ne partagent pas forcement notre histoire commune. Cette
intégration, enrichissante pour les deux parties, doit se faire sur un échange bilatéral permettant à chacun
de bien saisir les projets qu'il doit mener à bien. Car, je le pense, le problème est là : il est demandé au pays
souhaitant intégrer l'UE de se mettre en conformité avec les lois et règlements européens mais il me semble
que les européens ne font, eux, pas assez d'effort pour accompagner les nouveaux "arrivants" dans cette
étape décisive pour les deux parties.
L'Europe doit être plus visible.

L'autorégulation des espèces végétales et animales, est une règle froide qui obéit à un équilibre dont
l'être humain d'aujourd'hui tente désespérément de s'extraire :il faut qu'une espèce vive ou meure pour la
seule et unique raison qu'elle se doit, après avoir mangé, de nourrir à son tour. Hors, armés de notre seule
intelligence, de ce que nous appelons avec fierté notre "humanité", nous avons fini par croire que nous
pourrons nous extraire de la condition première propre à toute espèce vivant sur la planète Terre... L'argent,
cette belle abstraction née de millénaires d'échanges de richesses et de connaissances entre peuples, n'est
qu'une pâle copie de la loi naturelle et immuable de l'autorégulation. La seule différence, de taille toutefois,
c'est que certains hommes détiennent à eux seuls assez d'argent et donc de pouvoir, pour influer sur le
choix du moment où d'autres hommes disparaitrons. Les exemples sont légions, du prix du pétrole au prix
des céréales alimentaires. Il existe déjà une taxe sur l’eau la même viendra surement pour avoir le droit
de respirer un air dépollué. Il suffira donc d'augmenter considérablement le prix de l'air respirable pour se
débarrasser d'une frange de la population... Athée ou croyant, il faut nous rendre à l'évidence, l'humanité
n'aura finalement rien inventé. Nous aurons juste été capable d'une prise de pouvoir violente et éphémère...

Faciliter l'accès rápide aux hôpitaux, medecins, centres de réeducation... pour que les citoyens puissent se
soigner lorsqu'ils le nécessitent et qu'ils ne soient pas convoqués pour des chirurgies après leur mort... c'est
une honte ! En France, l'assistânce médicale est assez bien dans l'ensemble, mais au Portugal c'est loin
d'être ça. On se méfie des urgences, parce que tous les jours des gens meurent pour non-assistânce ou
mauvaise assitânce, donc on évite. Alors, on veut consulter un médecin "privé", comme on dit chez nous,
le problème c'est qu'ils ne consultent pas à plein temps, avec un peu de chance on est obligé d'attendre le
lendemain. Même en payant 40, 45 ou 50 euros de notre poche, on est obligé d'attendre que le médecin
revienne de l'hôpital oú il travaille à mi-temps. En ce qu'il concerne les chirurgies, les riches ont les moyens,
alors ils vont se faire opérer dans des hôpitaux privés, les pauvres meurent......... car attendre 2, 3, 4 ou 5 ans
pour une opération... la sécurité sociale s'attend à quoi après tout ce temps ???

je pense qu'avec le défit climatique ce devrait être une des priorités pour l'Europe que d'anticiper le
vieillissement de sa population. Les faits parlent d'eux-mêmes : l'Europe ne dispose pas de structures
suffisantes pour prendre soins de nos aînés. La Canicule de 2003 en est un symbole fort mais il suffit de se
pencher sur le pouvoir d'achat d'un retraité en Europe (sans compter les disparités nationales) pour constater
les problèmes. Je ne parle même pas de leur isolement en dehors du cocon familiale.

Il manque une vrai politique de protection de l'environemment et des animaux en Europe. Il est inacceptable

cette affaire d'une extreme barbarie, les "corridas", interdites dans la plupart des pays européens, reçoit des
subventions importantes de la PAC, alors que la grande majorité des européens se declare contre !!! Où est

La recherche médicale basée sur l'expérimentation animale est une abberration tant sur le plan du gaspillage
de vie animale, de l'argent public, que sur celui de la fiablilité des résultats. Des millions d'animaux sont
sacrifiés chaque année pour la vivisection dans les laboratoires pour des expériences dont certaines ont été
faites et refaites maintes fois, dans le simple but de justifier une activité pour ces laboratoires et donc d'obtenir
des subventions. Les résultats une fois appliqués à l'homme se révèlent parfois catastrophiques pour lui ! Il
est temps que la recherche s'oriente vers des méthodes plus modernes, et plus proche du modèle humain par
la culture de cellules humaines, l'aide de l'Europe en ce domaine me paraît indispensable.
Il faut prévenir plutôt que guérir. Donc dès le plus jeune âge avoir une éducation sur la nourriture saine, sur
le sport, sur la nuisance du tabac, alcool ,drogue avec des images qui choquent.Sur la sexualité protégé. Au
niveau alimentation saine, actions de sensibilisations, aussi bien ds les cantinnes des sociétés privées ou

A l'heure actuelle, les produits chimiques et les médicaments ne sont pas encore approuvés de manière

Les moyens seront adaptés. La population sera éduquée y compris par des programmes de séries télévisées
EUROPEENNES de fiction aux questions éthiques et aux choix face à la maladie et à la mort. Des règles

Ras le bol de cette Europe qui nivèle par le bas. En France, on réforme nos droits fondamentaux : santé,
éducation, travail, logement, retraite.... Pour sortir de la crise, il ne faut pas être niais pour comprendre qu'en
économie, il faut avoir les moyens de consommer afin de produire plus ce qui provoque des emplois. Arrêter
de profiter des pays où le niveau de vie est bas et où l'on exploite les gens afin que certains s'enrichissent
et qu'on virent dans nos pays des salariés qui produisent de la richesse. Il faut sortir du capitalisme. Cette
idée heureusement est entrain de monter chez les concitoyens européens. La crise a bon dos quand on
ferme les yeux sur ceux qui profitent et qui sont les petits copains de nos gouvernants. Et maintenant on fait
le dos rond en intégrant l'OTAN sans rien demandé aux peuples, savoir ce qu'ils en pensent. Un jour vous
aurez des comptes à rendre. Et maintenant, vous envisagez de faire un grand marché transatlantique dans le

Les personnes âgées sont délaissés par nos nouveaux modes de vie. Ils deviennt une charges pour les
enfants ! C'est injuste ! Il faut des structures plus nombreuses pour les accueillir de manière décente. Selon
leur capacité, leur offrir des structures où ils continuent à vivre seules mais où on leur garantie assistance
ponctuelle, sécurité, épicerie et autres infrasctuctures à proximité.
528. Promouvoir le respect et l'emploi des plus âgés (importance: 71%, disagreement: 20, evaluations:
15)
On fait beaucoup pour les jeunes mais très peu pour les anciens. Pourtant, partout l'âge de la retraite est
relevé mais en contrepartie on "jette" les vieux au rebut en les mettant au chômage pour privilégier les plus
jeunes (qui coûtent moins chers dans l'entreprise) et les plus diplômés (sortant de l'univ et sans expérience
donc peu coûteux) sans tenir compte de l'expérience des anciens ni de leur "valeur ajoutée". Si un retraité
veut travailler que ce soit par amour du travail ou pour améliorer ses fins de mois, il est "surtaxé" et en fin de
compte n'améliore vraiment pas ses fins de mois. C'est la même chose dans les institutions européennes,
où les plus âgés sont déconsidérés et dévalorisés. Les procédures sont telles qu'on permet à des personnes
super diplômées de passer des concours AST1 ce qui fait d'ailleurs de mauvais AST1, frustrés et prêts à tout
pour quitter dès que possible ce type d'emploi (par des CCP reconvertis en contrat d'Agents temporaires de
grade AD, par ex.) mais on interdit aux plus anciens qui ont la motivation et l'ambition et surtout l'expérience
de passer des concours AD car ils n'ont pas de diplômes universitaires. Sans parler de l'âge de la retraite qui
a été prolongés pour les nouveaux recrutés. Sans parler de la difficulté pour les plus anciens de changer de
poste lorsqu'ils atteignent un certain âge proche de la pension.

la transmission et l'adaptation de l'expérience entre états membres, des plus avancés vers les moins dotés
et vice-versa, de manière à assurer la qualité et la performance d'une couverture sociale complète et juste
de la population, couverture convergente et cohérente face aux dangers socio-économiques qui menacent

Proposer des activités à l'école qui développe le raisonnement et l'esprit critique, les activités physiques, les

vidéo. Les activités doivent être variés (tennis, football, karaté, guitare, flûte, poterie, peinture, concevoir en
équipe un jeu-vidéo, un film...), mais on ne doit pas imposer des activités et préférer suivre les goûts des
enfants et adolescents. Proposer à la télévision plus de programmes invitant à la réflexion et non de simples
programmes de pur divertissement. Notamment pour les enfants, retrouver des dessins-animés ayant une
forte composante éducative tout en les faisant rêver et rire (exemple du passé : "Captain-planet", "Il était
une fois la vie", "Les mystérieuses cités d'or"...). Ne plus diffuser des informations violentes, images choc et
préventions choc aux heures où les jeunes sont devant la télévision. Sans leur faire croire que le monde est
tout rose, il faudrait éviter de les rendre désespérés et agressifs. Privilégier les publicités pour les produits

Pour que l'idée de l'Europe s'enracine chez les gens (en particulier les Français chez qui c'est difficile), il faut
qu'une identité européenne naisse, et que les Européens la partagent. Nous avons une histoire commune,
des cultures assez proches, mais des pays différents : il faut faire ressentir les points communs aux gens. Et
la meilleure solution est de commencer par les jeunes : encourager les voyages, les échanges, etc. Erasmus

l'éducation de cette même langue en primaire, et à l'école secondaire. Les éducateurs et ensseignant doivent
être natif de cette langue pour l'enseigner au mieux. Par exemple, le cours de math , sur une même année

Il est impératif que l'Union Européenne cesse ce favoritisme concédé à la langue anglaise, sous prétexte
qu'elle serait la langue internationale. D'autres langues européennes font aussi partie des langues
internationales reconnues par l'ONU, l'UNESCO, etc... (français, espagnol), et d'autres langues non
reconnues officiellement par ces organismes ont une renommée internationale (portugais, italien, allemand
- cette dernière étant la plus parlée en Union Européenne). Que les sites de l'UE cessent déjà d'accueillir en
anglais en priorité, et que l'on arrête d'imposer aux enfants des pays de l'UE non anglophones (soit 90 %)
l'apprentissage de la langue anglaise dès le plus jeune âge, avec en contrepartie la dispense totale de cours
de LVE pour les anglophones. Le plurilinguisme total est irréalisable, mais un plurilinguisme raisonnable
(quelques rudiments de phrases quotidiennes en 3 ou 4 langues voisines pourrait être mis en place, ainsi
que l'intercompréhension entre langues de la même famille). Il serait intéressant aussi d'accompagner cet
apprentissage différent d'une langue neutre anationale, langue maternelle d'aucun pays, rapide à apprendre,
comme langue-pont entre les peuples de l'UE (je pense à l'espéranto, par exemple, il en existe d'autres
également). Déjà, au lieu de "tellbaroso" nous aurions "dirubarroso" plus neutre et plus juste, car à chaque

Il faut s'occuper de l'éducation des enfants, des adolescents, des jeunes et... des adultes. Souvent, il faudra
rééduquer les adultes. Cela est fondamental. Il faut empêcher les télévisions et aussi l'Internet de présenter
des contenus érotiques ou pornographiques: cela détruit l'esprit des jeunes gens! Il faut éduquer pour la
responsabilité, pour l'honnêteté, pour l'affectivité, pour la solidarité. Il faut être très attentif à l'éducation des
jeunes gens: ils sont l'Avenir. Il faut, tout d'abord, préparer les Parents et les faire comprendre la grandeur
de leur mission en tant que premiers et principaux éducateurs. Il faut aussi préparer les Enseignants pour
qu'ils puissent prendre goût à continuer l'éducation des jeunes gens qui leur sont confiés. Il faut préparer
les Enseignants pour leur tâche prestigieuse de transmission des connaissances et des valeurs éthiques.
Il ne faut pas surcharger les Enseignants de tâches bureaucratiques, qui ne leur incombent pas. Il faut être
exigeant envers les jeunes gens, en ce qui concerne leurs apprentissages, l'évaluation scolaire. Il faut donner
aux Enseignants toutes les conditions nécessaires à leur actualisation littéraire et scientifique: les Enseignants
ont besoin d'avoir du temps pour la préparation de leurs cours, pour leurs recherches et pour leurs lectures.
Maintenant, ils n'en n'ont pas, au Portugal!... Il faut redonner aux enseignants leur autorité et leur prestige: les

593. La Liberté des peuples (importance: 66%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 8)
Dans un monde où l'on nous répète à tout moment que nous sommes libres et égaux, où se trouve la liberté
des peuples à disposer d'eux-mêmes lorsque les lois sont votés par une entité qui n'a rien de représentative,
quand le traité de Lisbonne, sous une forme à peine retouchée, est accepté par des parlementaires sans
aucune consultation du peuple. Est-ce là la démocratie ? L'hypocrisie de ceux qui prétendent gouverner en
notre nom est sans fond. Lorsqu'un référendum ne va pas dans le sens d'un gouvernement celui-ci s'arrange
pour que son projet passe tout de même par une voie détournée. Seule l'Irlande a eut le courage de consulter
son peuple et le cri du coeur, ce NON historique du peuple irlandais, c'est le NON qui surgit des bouches
de millions d'Européens. NON, nous ne voulons pas de cette Europe là. NON, nous ne voulons pas d'une
superpuissance semblable à celle des Etats-Unis. Où est-elle notre liberté lorsque nos lois sont dictées par
Bruxelles ? Une Europe unie économiquement, certes il en faut une. Mais il faut une union des peuples,
et non pas un gouvernement unique incapable de s'intéresser à l'avis de ce peuple qu'il méprise et écrase
sous la botte de sa "démocratie totalitaire". Pour que nous puissions avoir notre mot à dire, pour ne pas
mépriser les 500 millions de personnes vivant en Europe, il est impératif de mettre en place des référendums
régulièrement. Si vous en êtes incapables alors vous pouv

En tant que citoyenne Européenne, je ressens très peu cette réalité. il apparait indispensable que le jour de
l'Europe devienne férié partout en Europe, que des manisfestations, des fetes, des discours, des cérémonies
soient organisées. on doit sentir que l'Europe est plus qu'un ensemble économique, un ensemble culturel.
il faut promouvoir la culture des autres pays, non en faisant des expositions dégrandantes stigmatisant les
défauts des pays européens, mais en organisant 27 jours dédiés à chacun de ses pays ou la culture des
autres pays d'Europe pourrait s'inviter chez leur voisin.

596. Economie - Place des religions. (importance: 64%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 11)
L'union devrait accepter la concurrence faussée que représentent les secteurs nationalisés. En effet, il n'est
pas démontré que la concurrence avantage les usagers. Pourquoi les gouvernement successifs suppriment
ils sans arrêts des fonctionnaires des services publics? ceci doit cesser, car ils ont un rôle essentiel dans le
pacte républicain. Sur la place des religions, la conception laïque française héritée des combats anticléricaux
de 1905 doit être renforcée. Nous ne voulons pas du communautarisme anglais ni de ses dérives logiques :
des tribunaux de la charia auxquels ont abandonne une partie de la communautée nationale! l'enfermement
des femmes soumises au bon vouloir d'agitateurs religieux est un scandale. Ce n'est pas le rôle des religieux,
même "modérés" de dire le droit, ni de faire respecter l'ordre public. L'Europe doit s'attacher à renforcer et
généraliser le modèle français, afin de promouvoir la citoyenneté et éviter l'enfermement dans une identité
religieuse. L'Europe n'a pas à dialoguer avec les représentants religieux, de quelque confession que ce soit.

C'est cette diversité qui fait la richesse de l'europe. Les langues engendrent des modes de pensés différents.
C 'est en confrontant et associant plusieurs modes de pensés et donc plusieurs points de vues, que l'europe
est l'entité humaine la plus riche et la plus créative de la planête. Protégeons la diversité, les coutumes et
les langues locales. En ce sens l'entrée de la Turquie dans l'UE ne pourrait être qu'un plus pour l'europe

Les citoyens ne participent pas à l'Europe. Pourquoi, trop distante, pas assez sexy, pas assez informés,
pas assez éduqués civiquement, ne voyant aucun moyen de peser sur les décisions, alors pourquoi faire?
Arrêtons ce simulacre de démocratie, et créons une vraie démocratie. Si l'Europe reppresente un gain pour
les citoyens en terme de pouvoir, si elle sera plus démocratique que ses Etats-membres, les citoyens s'y
intéresseront. En analysant les data de European Social Survey, j'ai trouvé des correlations extrememement
intéressantes entre l'intérêt pour la politique et confiance dans les politiciens. Les gens ne font pas confiance
aux politiciens, ne voient pas comment ils pourraient influencer le cours des evenements, et pour cela ils
ne participent pas. En leur donnant des moyens de se détacher des chaines de la Liberté des Modernes,
ils s'investiront dans leur Liberté des Anciens - la politique peut redevenir un style de vie et ne plus être ce
mal nécessaire, inintéressant et corrompu aux yeux des citoyens. Permettez-moi, Monsieur Baroso, de vous
demander d'offrir une étoile aux citoyennes et citoyens de l'Europe - Je vous montrerait la voie vers le coeur

606. Domaine de l'énergie (importance: 87%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 6)
En effet, le domaine de l'énergie revêt aujourd'hui une dimension primordiale, ne serait-ce que parce que la
politique énergétique touche aux domaines de la politique commerciale commune, de la politique extérieure
de l'UE et de ses Etats membres, mais encore au domaine du développement durable, de l'innovation, des
transports, de la concurrence. Les récentes crises énergétiques et les enjeux actuels de la renégociation
d'un cadre au partenariat stratégique avec la Russie notamment font du secteur de l'énergie un secteur clé
de la politique de l'UE et de la Commission. De plus, mais ce sera là une tâche difficile (mais nécessaire),
ce domaine pousse à une réflexion sur la capacité de l'Union à parler d'une voix sur le plan externe et de
trouver un consensus sur le plan interne. J'ai écrit un travail de recherche sur les relations de l'Europe avec la
Russie et plus particulièrement dans le domaine de l'énergie. Il est à ce titre fondamental de voir combien ce
domaine fait naître d'interrogations, de débats, mais aussi de divisions, qu'il faut résoudre. Il en va de l'avenir
de tous les citoyens européens dans leur vie de tous les jours (au stade de la consommation d'énergie)
mais aussi dans la défense de leurs intérêts (comme par exemple le suggère la recherche d'une plus grande
indépendance énergétique, d'une sécurité des approvisionnements, et toutes les politiques connexes en
termes de concurrence, etc).

De très récentes découvertes scientifique dans le domaine de l'énergie solaire (début 2009) montrent
aujourd'hui qu'il est possible, et à des coûts raisonnables (en comparaison au nucléaire ou autre), de fournir
MASSIVEMENT en électricité d'origine solaire toute l'Union Européenne, et ce avec tous les avantages qui
en découlent : pas de déchets, pas de pollution, pas de bruit, baisse des coûts de l'électricité, remplacement
du gaz par l'électricité et donc moins de dépendance vis-à-vis des pays fournisseurs comme la Russie,
production "automatique" et illimitée.
609. Moins de dépendance énergétique vis-à-vis des autres pay (importance: 82%, disagreement: 18,

La crise du gaz avec le conflit entre la Russie et l'Ukraine a montré une des faiblesses de l'Europe:
sa dépendance énergétique! Il serait peut-être bon pour les citoyens européens d'être plus autonome
énergétiquement en choisissant soit le nucléaire, soit les énergies renouvellables. Des recherches pour
obtimiser ces-dernières seraient bien aussi. Des voitures plus propres, qui consomment moins seraient bien,
en utilisant de l'essence mais aussi pouvoir choisir entre différents types de carburant.

protègent les plus faibles qui sont soumis à toujours plus de précarité et flexibilité. Je n'ai pas d'idée concrête
sur les moyens à mettre en oeuvre, sans doute une certaine harmonisation fiscale, mais aussi des règles
précisant/ imposant la redistribution des profits également vers les travailleurs et limitant les profits exorbitants
de certains. La relance économique doit évidemment être une priorité, mais elle doit être 'juste', les milliards

Au cours des années 1990, de nombreux États européens – Irlande, Danemark, Allemagne, Autriche, Italie
– ont aboli leur taxation des patrimoines. La tendance est la même en ce qui concerne l'imposition des
revenus : dans de nombreux pays de l'OCDE, les taux marginaux ont baissé depuis les années 1980. La
concurrence fiscale incite donc les États à améliorer leur gestion et à rationaliser leur dépense publique.
Cette concurrence – à laquelle contribue indiscutablement le secret bancaire – est donc un moyen pour les
contribuables de protéger leur épargne dès lors que la taxation devient trop importante. Ces préoccupations
sur le caractère potentiellement spoliateur de l'impôt sont d'autant plus légitimes en période de crise,
alors qu'on assiste à un renforcement du poids des États, préalable peut-être à une augmentation des
prélèvements obligatoires. En outre, à l'heure où la protection de la vie privée peut apparaître comme un
enjeu important, on oublie que les fichiers les plus complets dont l'État dispose sur ses citoyens ne sont
souvent pas les fichiers de police, mais les fichiers du fisc. Même s'il peut paraître excessif, l'exemple de la
Suisse est, à cet égard, éloquent. Le secret bancaire y a été introduit en 1934, en réactions aux pressions des
nazis pour obtenir les noms des détenteurs de comptes, juifs notamment. Il ne s'agit pas là d'un cas isolé.

664. Préserver le secret bancaire au sein de l'UE. (importance: 48%, disagreement: 37, evaluations: 21)
Il est aisé de noter que les pays les plus prompts à brocarder le secret bancaire sont ceux qui ont les
prélèvements obligatoires les plus élevés, et qui sont donc les plus exposés à l'évasion fiscale. Il en est ainsi
de la France qui, en 2006, aurait perdu 843 contribuables redevables de l'impôt de solidarité sur la fortune
(ISF), représentant un patrimoine total de 2,8 milliards d'euros. Ceci a constitué une source d'enrichissement
pour les pays d'accueil, le Belgique ou la Suisse par exemple. En un sens, un tel processus sanctionne
le maintien par la France d'un impôt qui pénalise l'activité économique et l'accumulation de capital. L'ISF
coûte aujourd'hui plus cher qu'il ne rapporte : les rentrées fiscales sont très modestes alors que la quantité
de capitaux qui quitte le pays est significative. Plus une personne s'enrichit, plus l'incitation à partir est donc
grande. La France a-t-elle pour autant raison de plaider pour la levée du secret bancaire ? Non, car ce
dernier est une incitation pour les États à revoir leurs politiques fiscales, ainsi qu'à passer au crible le bien-
fondé de leurs dépenses. Ceux qui y parviennent obtiennent donc un avantage compétitif et une source
d'enrichissement qui récompense leurs efforts pour avoir offert un cadre fiscal attractif.

La france a rejetée cette idée, qui me paraissait bonne. Des marchés récemment ouverts à la concurrence

l'accès à la connexion internet (obligation de faire activer la ligne par france télécom puis attente d'annulation
du contrat par l'opérateur choisi, pour ma part sfr). De même, la téléphonie mobile en france, cantonnée
à 3 opérateurs massifs (bouygues, sfr, orange) rend facile les ententes de fait sur les prix des sms ou des

puissance tranquille, comme le définit Todorov. Elle doit etre plus unie, ce qui éviterait des sarcasmes tels que
celui de Kinsinger "l'Europe quelle numéro?". De plus, il faut une immigration choisie, car la population est un
facteur de puissance (les Etats-Unis ont encore un accroissement naturel contrairement à celui de l'Europe".

les citoyens. Il faut que tout le monde parle deux ou trois langues couramment et puisse comprendre les
rudiments de toutes les autres. Il faut aussi repenser la communication de façon plus globale. La presse doit
être européenne. Je suis tombé récemment sur un texte du 19ème siècle racontant la vague d'immigration
des Savoyards à Paris. On n'y parlait que de différences, d'étrangers... C'était le même discours et les mêmes
mots que nous utilisons aujourd'hui d'un pays à l'autre de l'Europe. Ce travail de rapprochement que nous

maken van de diverse wetgevingen in de onderscheiden Europese lidstaten. De lacunes in die onderscheiden
wetgevingen worden gebruikt om de nationale wetgevingen te misbruiken en vrij spel te hebben dank aan een
zéér gebrekkige performante en snelle samenwerking tussen de politiediensten van de verschillende landen.
Enkel een ééngemaakte Europese wetgeving (op gebied van zware criminaliteit, fiscaliteit, mensenhandel en
migratie), gedragen door een actieve Europese politiemacht (cf. FBI in de US) en een Europees parket kan
daar een halt aan toeroepen.

animaux entassés en surnombre dans les camions dans lesquels certains meurent étouffés, animaux non
abreuvés en dépit des longs parcours et ceci parfois sous un soleil de plomb, mauvaise hygiène à l'intérieur
des camions, maltraitance à l'embarquement et au déchargement. Il conviendrait de prévoir non seulement la
suppression de l'agrément de tout convoyeur ne respectant pas la réglementation, mais aussi des peines de

L'Union Européenne est une organisation qui a une meilleure visibilité sur les transports que ses Etats
membres, simplement parce la géographie est très importante dans ce domaine et que les transports
connaissent moins de frontières que jamais. C'est un élément vital du marché commun. Or à ce jour, les
transports de marchandises, plus que ceux des personnes, ne sont pas à la hauteur des besoins. Le transport
par rail n'est pas privilégié suffisamment et le transport routier, économiquement inefficace et dommageable
pour l'environnement et la santé est hyper développé. Peu est fait pour développer le transport par barge ou
par cabotage. Enfin les ports européens sont développés très inégalement, dépendant essentiellement de
politiques nationales à courte vue.

qu'en augmentant les moyens alloués aux bourses Erasmus inciter davantage les écoles à proposer des
échanges , et pê même qui sait en arriver à ce que l'échange devienne une étape courante de la formation
personnellement je suis étudiant dans le domaine des arts (arts de la paroles/théâtre) et dans ce domaine je

Pour avoir une politique de développement durable qui aille au dela de l'initiative nationale et qui permette de

de transports de marchandises transnationaux. En effet, chacun des états membres possède une politique
de transport différente ce qui le plus souvent ne laisse pas beaucoup de place a l'écologie : les entreprises de
transports s'installant dans le pays le plus avantageux pour elles. Ceci dit, je ne connais pas suffisament bien

733. Libéralisation des transports (importance: 45%, disagreement: 30, evaluations: 4)
L'UE devrait renforcer et mener à bien la politique engagée de libéralisation du secteur des transports. Au
delà des problématiques juridiques, le consommateur aura certainement avantage à tirer d'une telle avancée
du droit communautaire, notamment dans le secteur des transports ferroviaires. Si certains dénoncent en la
libéralisation un risque de dérives en stigmatisant la privatisation des transports en Grande-Bretagne dans les
années 1990, il y a fort à penser que la libéralisation si ce n'est des infrastructures, tout du moins de l'activité
de transport aura une répercussion sur les prix et les services eux-même. Le consommateur aura une plus
grannde visibilité et lisibilité des conditions de services, services garantis certainement par une recherche
de qualité par les prestataires mis en situation de concurrence. Bien sûr cela s'accompagne, dans l'idéal,
par une recherche de garanties pour tous. Ainsi l'on pourrait imaginer que la gestion des infrastructures
reste aux mains des Etats (comme en France, avec RFF), assurant là une mission de service public ou de
SIEG (selon la notion communautaire), garantissant la libre prestation de services sur ces infrastructures. Le
consommateur européen voit certainement en cette matière une avancée possible et de taille pour l'UE.

intégrer la Turquie dans l'Union Européenne (le contraire revenant à interdire à la Russie tout accès à la
Méditerrannée) - renonçant à intégrer l'Ukraine dans l'UE (comment faire confiance à un État qui détourne
le gaz qui nous est destiné ?) - renonçant à la reconnaissance de la soi-disant république du Kosovo (et en
poursuivant sérieusement les criminels de guerre Kosovars, Bosniaques et Croates) - arrêtant de soutenir
systématiquement la Géorgie de Saakashvili (et, donc, la politique des USA dans le Caucase) - en faisant
comprendre aux USA qu'il est temps que l'occupation de l'Europe par les troupes de l'OTAN (dont les budgets
ne cessent d'augmenter au détriment du bien-être des peuples de l'UE) cesse enfin, et que nous n'avons
plus besoin d'être (± ouvertement) dirigés par les USA - etc Enfin, sur un autre plan, il est plus que temps
d'organiser une Union Européenne RÉELLEMENT sociale et progressiste, en arrêtant de démanteler les

aux associations qui le désirent de se rapprocher de l'UE, en leur permettant de solliciter l'aide européenne
pour réaliser des projets de proximité promouvant certaines "valeurs européennes": par exemple, des projets
éducatifs et culturels liés à aux droits de l'homme, à l'environnement, la coopération au développement,...
L'idée ici est que l'Union soutiendrait des projets issus du citoyen (les associations), de petites tailles (cela
évite que l'action ressemble à une vaste campagne imaginée à Bruxelles) et de proximité (lié à la petite taille
des projets). Avantages pour les associations: être aidées financièrement à promouvoir des valeurs dans
lesquelles elles croient, et se sentir soutenues dans leur action; Avantages pour l'UE: se faire connaître
auprès des communautés locales; contribuer à faire naître un "sentiment européen" grâce à le diffusion des
ces "valeurs européennes"; ne plus apparaître comme une institution uniquement aux services des puissants.

Il faut écouter la masse et ne pas privilégier la fuite en avant qui est le maintien d'une porte ouverte envers
l'adhésion de la Turquie alors que l'intégration turque ne se réalisera pas sans unanimité au sein de l'UE ce
qui est *absolument* impossible. Le territoire turque est géographiquement en Asie mineure, l'UE n'a pas
vocation a être un laboratoire qui démontre que l'islam peut se fondre dans la civilisation occidentale. C'est
hors sujet et non nécessaire. (et après, on intègre Israël? l'UE a également une histoire commune avec ce
pays..!!! cet argument n'est pas suffisant). Il en revient ainsi au institutions (commission européenne) d'évoluer
afin d'éviter de faire de l'idéologie sur des cas si concrets. Il faut à tout prix que soit pris en compte la capacité
d'intégration qu'a l'UE elle même (plus facile d'intégrer Chypre que la Turquie).

tirer de substentiels revenus. De tout temps et partout dans le monde les agriculteurs ont géré les semences
de leurs futures récoltes, ce ne sera plus le cas avec les OGM puisque chaque année l'agriculteur doit acheter
à ces firmes les graines qu'il entend semer. Chaque pays doit être libre de décider de son avenir et de refuser

evaluations: 13)
Das Verbot von Hanf geht nicht zurück auf seine Gefährlichkeit, sondern auf industrielle Interessen. Wie um
alles in der Welt kann eine so vielseitige Nutzpflanze wie der Hanf verboten sein? Das ist das gleiche wie
die Hexenverfolgung im Mittelalter. Es ist geradezu pervers, dass in Krankenhäusern (zum Glück) Opiate
genutzt werden, aber beim Hanf sagt man: "... das könnte dich süchtig machen, das ist keine Medizin". Das
heute noch ernsthaft Politiker mit dieser Ansicht öffentlich auftreten, kommt für mich tausendfach versuchtem
Totschlag gleich. Es gibt bereits Staaten, die sich endlich von diesen Zwängen der Industrie-Lobby gelöst
haben und die Legalisierung endlich durchgesetzt haben, dass zum Beispiel Hanf als Medizin eingesetzt
werden darf. Wenn die EU wirklich das Leben von zig-Millionen Europäer beeinflussen könnte, dann mit der
Legalisierung von Hanf.

Schaffen Sie Arbeitsplätze für junge Leute meiner Generation 30+, die hochqualifiziert sind und gegenwärtig

Arbeitgebern, dass wir, um leben zu können, auch etwas verdienen müssen! Machen Sie deutlich, dass ein
älterer Arbeitnehmer ebenso in der Lage ist, einer anspruchsvollen Tätigkeit nachzugehen. Kümmern Sie sich
um sozial verträgliche Arbeitsbedingungen und lassen Sie nicht länger zu, dass sich Manager auf Kosten
anderer bereichern und Geld zum Angelpunkt jeden Unternehmens wird! Investieren Sie in die Bildung!
Fördern Sie Schulen und Bildungsprojekte, geben Sie Schülern eine Chance auf Ausbildungsplätze! Wegen
des demographischen Wandels in Deutschland mache ich mir Sorgen: Was ist mit meiner Rente von morgen?
Finde ich kein adäquates Beschäftigungsverhältnis, bin ich nicht in der Lage, für meine eigene Zukunft zu
sorgen. Finanzieren Sie deswegen Projekte, welche die Generationengerechtigkeit fördern und machen Sie
deutlich, dass wir Generationen nur durch ein gemeinsames Miteinander in der Lage sind, die gewaltigen
Herausforderung des demographischen Wandels zu bewältigen.

Die EU sollte den interkulturellen Austausch innerhalb des Staatenbundes fördern. Darüber hinaus
müssen wichtige gesellschaftliche Gruppen, wie z.B. Kinder & Jugendliche stärker an politischen
entscheidungsprozessen beteiligt werden. Das fördert die Demokratie und Verantwortungsbewusstsein.
Im Umweltschutz muss die EU eine globale Führungsrolle einnehmen. Die bisherige Umweltpolitik, u.a.
die haltung zur Gentechnik und die Subventionierung konventioneller Landwirtschaft sprechen für sich.
Stattdessen sollte die EU die biologische/nachhaltige landwirtschaft fördern. Die bisherigen Subventionen
verzerren den Wettbewerb und verhindern eine bedarfsorientierte Produktion. Exportsubventionen
überflüssiger Lebensmittel in ärmere Länder zerstören lokale Märkte und schaffen Armut. Das muss aufhören.

In eine nachhaltige Energiegewinnung sollte investiert werden, die Entwicklung von Medikamenten

skandinavischen Schulsystem abschauen und die W@lz, jene Schule die ich besuche, ist ein netter
Versuch eine Alternative zu dem veralteten Schulsystem zu schaffen. Die Buerokratie muss reformiert und
vereinfacht werden, in Zeiten des Internets kann viel Zeit gespart werden. Die Exekutive bzw die Polizei
sollte auch reformiert werden obwohl man da doch eher an der Wurzel anfangen sollte, die Gesetze sind
zum Teil ein Scherz. Wer seid ihr das ihr mir sagt was ich mir antun darf oder nicht, um etwas spezifischer
zu werden will ich auf eine katastrophale Drogenpolitik hinweisen. Mir wasauchimmer zu verbieten ist nichts
anderes als Diebstahl und Freiheitsberaubung an das Volk, keine Pflanze, kein Tier, kein Mensch und keine
Schoepfung Gottes ist illegal! Die Polizei sollte mich vor Dieben beschuetzen und mich nicht bestehlen. Ich
halte Atomkraftwerke fuer ein hohes Sicherheitsrisiko, sie sind ein attraktives Ziel fuer Terroristische Angriffe,
investiert in die Forschung von Fusionsenergie, dann haben wir ausgesorgt, denn meine groesste Angst ist

7. auf Arbeitsplätze und Gesundheit der Menschen (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 15)
Beides sind sehr wichtige Faktoren für die Wirtschaft der EU. Mehr Arbeitsplätze mögen zwar die Gewinne
der Unternehmen verkleinern, jedoch der erhöhte Binnenmarktkonsum das Außenhandelsdefizit deutlich
verringern. Somit wäre eine geringere Abhängigkeit vom Welthandel gegeben und wird auch die Position
der EU stärken und in schweren Zeiten bestehen zu können. Auch würde das Fernziel Vollbeschäftigung
in EU Gegnern den Wind aus den Segeln nehmen. Denn mehr Arbeitsplätze bedeuten auch: zufriedene
Familien, mehr Wohlstand, höhere Bildungsmöglichkeiten für die Kinder. Damit bin ich schon. Zwei. Eine
Gesundheitspolitik nach Möglichkeit einen EU Bürgern kostenlos zur Verfügung steht trägt massiv zu
Produktivität unseres Wirtschafts Raumes bei. Unter den Arbeitsplätzen anzuschließen, steht es außer Frage,
dass niedrige Krankenstandszahlen auch den großen Firmen helfen. Auch damit lässt sich ein Standortvorteil
in der EU nützen. Die beginnende Überalterung der EU-Bürger führt zur inneren Lebensarbeitszeiten, umso
wichtiger ist es die Gesundheit und Arbeitsfähigkeit jedes einzelnen zu erhalten. Aber nicht nur die körperliche
Gesundheit ist wichtig auch die geistige muss einen hohen Stellenwert einnehmen. Depressionen, Burn
out und soziale Phobien verursachen ungeahnte Kosten. Leider kann man mit 1500 Zeichen nur eine kurze
Anregung geben, ich würde aber gerne über dieses Thema ausführlich berichten.Meine E-Mail-Adresse ist

9. Verkehr, Energie, Wirtschaft, Landwirtschaft, Kultur+Bildung (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 9)
Die Dominanz des motorisierten Individualverkehrs und des Gütertransports auf der Straße scheint in
der Verkehrsinfrastrukturplanung der EU Kommission nach wie vor unbestritten. Ersteres ist dabei ein
Minderheitenprogramm: in meinem Land nutzen weniger als 50% der erwachsenen Bevölkerung den
PKW. Flugbenzin soll übrigens keine steuerlichen Vorteile haben. Konzerne lenken nach wie vor zu viele
Entscheidungsprozesse, regionale, kleinräumige Wirtschaft hat demgegenüber wenig Einfluss, ist aber
stabiler. Es ist Zeit, die parasitäre "Finanzwirtschaft" steuerlich zu belasten und Arbeitseinkommen zu
entlasten. Ersteres geht nur auf der EU-Ebene. ATS, die automatische Transaktionssteuer, die bei jeder
Überweisung einbehalten wird, wäre eine schöne, unbürokratische Art der Besteuerung. Ein Steuersatz
von ungefähr 1% würde genügen, um das selbe steuerliche Aufkommen zu lukrieren wie jetzt mit den
verschiedenen Steuern (MWSt, ESt etc.). Kultur und Bildung sind die wichtigsten Lebensbereiche in der
"Wissensgesellschaft", doch deren Infrastruktur wird vernachlässigt (auch national). Die Marktverzerrungen
durch die EU-Landwirtschaftspolitik soll beendet werden (ich zahle gern Marktpreise für regionale
Lebensmittel und dafür entsprechend weniger Steuern für die Lebensmittelindustrie) - zugunsten von großen
Investitionen in die Bereiche Bildung und Kultur, das bringt auch (gute!) Arbeitsplätze. Hier ist Wachstum

Für mich als Student sind Bildung, Wettbewerb, Berufschancen und Altersversorgung wichtige Punkte. Ich
weiß, dass sich die EU im Bereich Bildung engagiert. Trotzdem sollte hier über die nächsten Jahre langfristig
noch mehr Engagement, Integration und Verbesserung betrieben werden, sei es über Projekte direkt durch
die EU, oder Maßnahmen die die Mitgliedsstaaten dabei anspornt und unterstützt hier mehr zu tun. Durch die
Förderung von Wettbewerb senkt die EU indirekt die Kosten für die Produkte die ich täglich komsumiere, wie
auch bei selteneren Ausgaben (z.B Flugkosten). Hier besteht schon ein Schwerpunkt und dieser sollte auch
weiterhin verfolgt werden. Berufschancen werden durch den Bolognaprozess langfristig verbessert, auch
wenn aktuell die Umstellungsphase nicht ganz unproblematisch verläuft. Dabei sollte hier auch weiterhin sehr
zielstrebig und schnell der Prozess vollzogen werden um den für alle Beteiligten unangenehmen "Übergang"
kurz zu halten. Denkbar wäre vielleicht eine Art Bolognaprozess auch im Bereich des Auszubildenden-
Sektors. Im Bereich der Altersvorsorge sehen viele Leute meines Alters schwarz. Viele gehen davon aus,
dass sie keine staatlichen Renten mehr bekommen werden. Hier muss die EU und ihre Mitgliedsstaaten
Konzepte entwickeln um den demographischen Wandel in Europa und die daraus entstehenden Folgen und
Unsicherheiten abzufedern.

Im privatwirtschaftlichen Sektor haben sich während der letzten Jahrzehnte sehr viele Unternehmen weg
von einem national-zentrierten hin zu einem international-aktiven Denken und Handeln orientiert. Diese
Bewegung wurde von der Politik nur teilweise befolgt, einige Anstrengungen in dieser Richtung treffen auf den
hinhaltenden Widerstand (z.B. Lissabon-Vertrag) einiger Akteure. Wenn auch in Zukunft ein demokratisch
legitimiertes Miteinander unsere Gesellschaft bestimmen soll, d.h. die Menschen bestimmen über den
Fortgang ihres Schicksals mit, dann muss die (noch regional orientierte) Politik der (international aufgestellten)
Wirtschaft ein ebenbürtiges Gegenüber bieten können. Sonst werden die wirtschaftlichen Entscheidungen
Einzelner (Konzerneigentümer) das Leben vieler noch stärker beeinflussen. Ich wünsche mir eine starke
Europäische Union, die auf der geschilderten Ebene die Interessen ihrer Bürger gegenüber der starken
Wirtschaft wahrnehmen kann und wird.

hinhaltenden Widerstand (z.B. Lissabon-Vertrag) einiger Akteure. Wenn auch in Zukunft ein demokratisch
legitimiertes Miteinander unsere Gesellschaft bestimmen soll, d.h. die Menschen bestimmen über den
Fortgang ihres Schicksals mit, dann muss die (noch regional orientierte) Politik der (international aufgestellten)
Wirtschaft ein ebenbürtiges Gegenüber bieten können. Sonst werden die wirtschaftlichen Entscheidungen
Einzelner (Konzerneigentümer) das Leben vieler noch stärker beeinflussen. Ich wünsche mir eine starke
Europäische Union, die auf der geschilderten Ebene die Interessen ihrer Bürger gegenüber der starken
Wirtschaft wahrnehmen kann und wird.

13)
Die wichtigsten Aufgaben der EU haben Auswirkungen auf die gesamte Akzeptanz der EU und auf
das Zusammenleben der Menschen. Dazu gehören zwingend die Akzeptanz der Menschenrechte und
deren Durchsetzung. Schutz vor staatlicher Willkür durch Bürokratie und Polizei. Recht auf Arbeit mit
angemessenem Lohn! Recht auf menschenwürdige Unterkunft sowie Schutz vor Rassismus. Verhinderung
von Ausbeutung und exorbitanten Einkommensunterschieden. Die Schere zwischen Arm und Rich muss viel
kleiner werden.

Herr President,ich finde Europa ist gut für die Wirtschaft,jedoch bin ich nicht eiverstanden mit der Politik
unserer Politiker.Durch die Globalisierung verlieren die Menschen ihre Arbeit.Das nennen sie das Vereinigte
Europa,ich kann nur lachen. Jedoch bei den nächsten Europawahlen werde ich keinen Europa Abgeordneten
wählen. Europa setzt sich nur für die Reichen ein,der Mittelstand geht verloren. Unser Premier Jean-Claude
Juncker wird überall gefeiert,jedoch der Mittelstand in Luxembourg geht kaputt.Europa zerbricht langsam
aber sicher.Die Preise für Immobilien explodieren,junge Menschen können sich nichts mehr leisten .Auf den
Wahllisten stehen immer die gleichen Gesichter der Parteien.Ich bin jedoch auch Parteimitglied bei der CSV in
Luxemburg.Die Parteilisten werden intern in der Partei aufgesetzt.Junge Menschen können sich nicht auf den
Parteilisten eintragen wie z.b. die CSV. Armes,armes Europa.euroa versinkt!!!!
29. Marktwirtschaft, Unternehmertum (importance: 77%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 15)
Ich bin der Meinung dass der Markt das beste Mittel zum allgemeinen Wohlstand ist. Dieser kann aber
nur funktionieren wenn er klare Aussengrenzen hat. Diese müssen innerhalb der EU möglichst einheitlich
sein damit der Binnenmarkt möglichst effektiv funktionieren kann. Dabei sollte nichts reguliert werden was
besser durch die jeweiligen Unternehmer mit Verträgen gelöst werden kann. Es gilt also auch hier eine Art
Subsidiaritätsprinzip wobei in diesem Fall der Geschäftstreibende derjenige ist der am Besten über sein
Geschäft bescheid weiß und dies somit im Raume des Rechts für alle gewinnbringend verkaufen kann.

31. Umweltverschmutzung durch die Industrie (importance: 77%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 17)
Die Umweltrichtlinien für die Industrie müssen verschärft werden, so dass nicht mehr das
Wirtschaftswachstum bzw. die Umsätze der Industrie im Vordergrund stehen sondern die negativen Effekte
ihres Wirkens verhindert werden und - wenn möglich - revidiert werden können. Dies ist nur möglich wenn die
EU nach innen Standarts schafft die den Umweltschutz als oberste Priorität haben und nach Außen für eine
Internationalisierung dieser Standarts kämpft
32. Arbeitsmöglichkeiten in anderen EU-Staaten (importance: 76%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 5)
Für mich sind die Arbeitsmöglichkeiten in anderen EU-Staaten aktuell. Ich bin jung und möchte in anderen
Staaten versuchen zu arbeiten, um die anderen Kulturen kennenzulernen, meine ausländischen Sprache
zu verbessern u.s.w. Aber die Arbeitgeber vertrauen nicht auf die Leute aus dem Ausland - aus den anderen
EU-Staaten, besonders wenn sie mehr qualifizierte Arbeit arbeiten möchten. Natürlich gibt es die Staaten, die
keinen Unterschied zwischen die Leute machen - ist der Arbeitnehmer aus demselben Staat oder aus dem
anderen EU-Staat. Aber es gibt noch viele EU-Staaten, deren Arbeitgeber möchten mit der Leute aus anderen
EU-Staaten nicht arbeiten, zwar sie bessere Qualifikation haben. Also wir müssen irgendwie die Meinung der
Arbeitgeber über die Arbeitnehmer aus anderen EU-Staaten verändern.
33. Landwirtschaft und Ernährung (importance: 76%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 20)
Die europäische Agrarpolitik muß sich ändern. Die überkommene Vorstellug, daß immer mehr produziert
werden muß, ist nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Sie verursacht einerseits eine enorme Steuergeldverschwendung,
obwohl dieses Geld besonders in Zeiten der Wirtschaftskrise anderswo dringend gebraucht würde.
Andererseits sorgt sie für einen Preisverfall (besonders bei der Milch). Ein solcher Preisverfall gefährdet
nicht nur die Existenz der betroffenen Bauern. Er geht auch zu Lasten der artgerechten Tierhaltung und des
Umweltschutzes, weil Bauern auf diesem Gebiet schnell sparen können, wenn es ihre Not erfordert. Statt auf
Massen sollte auf Qualität geachtet werden!

35. Hanf nicht länger schlecht reden sondern zur Wahrheit stehn (importance: 76%, disagreement: 33,
evaluations: 15)
Der Rohstoff der Zukunft Hanf ist eine uralte Kulturpflanze und so vielseitig verwendbar wie kaum ein
anderes Gewächs. Neben den zwei großen Einsatzgebieten Rauschmittel und Medizin gibt es unzählige
andere, die für die Wirtschaft bedeutsam sind. Vorteile von Hanf im Vergleich zu anderen Natur- oder
Kunstfasern * Hanf ist wenig anfällig für Schädlinge, Flachs hingegen ist erheblich krankheits- und
schädlingsanfälliger * Hanf ist nicht auf Beikrautbekämpfung angewiesen, im Gegensatz zu anderen
Nachwachsenden Rohstoffen * Hanfstroh weist weniger Verschmutzung durch Erde und Sand auf als z.B.
Flachs. Dies liegt daran das Flachs bei der Ernte gerauft wird. * Der Hanfertrag liegt um das 2,5-fache
höher als beim Flachsanbau. * Der Ölanteil pro Hanfpflanze liegt doppelt so hoch wie beim Raps. * Aus
einem Hektar Hanf kann man viermal mehr Papier gewinnen als aus einem Hektar Wald, deshalb läßt jede
Tonne Hanfpapier zwölf Bäume weiterleben. * Aus einem Hektar Hanf können 2,5 Tonnen Fasern gewonnen
werden, aus Baumwolle hingegen nur eine Tonne. * Aus einem Hektar Hanf können 2,7 Tonnen Zellulose
gewonnen werden, aus einem durchschnittlichen Wald nur 0,5 Tonnen. * Der Zellulosegehalt der Bastfasern
von Hanf ist um 65 % höher als der der Holzfaser * Der Ligninwert liegt bei Hanf um 10 %, bei Holz hingegen
liegt er um 20-25% (der niedrige Ligninwert ist bei der Herstellung von Papier aus Hanf ein positiver

37. Wirtschaftspolitik (importance: 76%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 16)
Die EU sollte sich um eine verstärkte Koordinierung der Wirtschaftspolitik bemühen. Ein einheitlicher
Währungsraum muss mit der Angleichung der Wirtschaftspolitik einhergehen. Ansonsten bin ich mit der EU

Es existiert der EU-Binnenmarkt & die Staatengemeinschaft der EU. Nun muss die Bürgervereinigung
kommen. Das zielt auf soziale & bürgerliche Teilnahme-Rechte ab & nicht auf kulturelle Niveaulierung.
Beispielsweise sollte ein Grundeinkommen diskutiert werden, der Datenschutz sollte gestärkt werden, der
Schüler- und Jugendaustausch ausgebaut und zu einem EU-Bürgerrecht ausgebaut werden.

Ich denke, dass die EU-Staaten eine gemeinsame Wirtschafts- und Finanzpolitik betreiben sollten und zB
mit einer Stimme am G20 Gipfel in London teilnehmen sollten. Das würde ihr Gewicht in der Welt deutlich

Kürzere Transportzeiten für Schlachttiere. Bessere Kontrollen der Arbeitsbedingungen in Fabriken etc.. Verbot

Fördermittel für Bio-Anbau. Verbesserung der Tierhaltungsbedingungen. Aufhören, das Bio-Siegel zu einer

ausgeschrieben werden muss. Ist dies immer sinnvoll, UND verstehen die einzelnen Menschen in jedem
Land was in dem anderem "damit" gemeint ist? Die EU sollte versuchen eine Art Mentalitaets Status zu

Einheitliche Steuersätze, Abbau von Steueroasen, Vermögenszuwachsbesteuerung, Strafen für Unternehmen

die Europ. Verfassung. Kontrolle der überhöhten Europreise und Angleich der Nettolöhne an diese. Soziale
Wohnbauprogramme überregional fördern. (Das "EUROHAUS" bzw Haus Europa sollte Umweltfreundlich,
energieeffizient und zeitgemäß sein ZB. Alternative Stromversorgung, Gebrauchswasserkreislauf etc)
Aufnahme für Länder in die EU bzw. Ausschluss die sich nicht an soziale Normen halten bzw. keinerlei

55. Herabsetzung der Sozialkosten (importance: 70%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 13)
Lohn und Gehalt muß billiger werden. Die Lohnnebenkosten müssen stark gesenkt werden. Die Arbeit darf
nicht so hoch besteuert werden. Dadurch wird Arbeit wieder attraktiver und die Produkte werden billiger und
international konkurenzfähiger. Der Export wird wieder steigen. Vorallen Dingen können auch wieder mehr
Menschen eine Beschäftigung finden. Man ist nicht mehr auf das Umverteilungssystem angewiesen. Dadurch
wird auch das Selbstwertgefühl wieder gestärkt. Die Pionierzeit kann wieder aufleben.

Junge Leute wollen bessere Lehrer und Lehrerinnen, weil es wenige in den kleinen Städten gibt. Ich erinnere
mich daran, dass wir zu viele Stundent pro Tag hatten, aber es war nicht nötig, weil wir nichts Interessantes
oder Wichtiges machten. Nur mussten wir hier bleiben. Wir hatten beschränkte Möglichkeiten. Wir konnten
zum Beispiel Sprachen wählen, nur Deutsch oder Russisch, aber niemand wollte Russisch lernen. Die
Aktivitaten nach der Schule fehlen. An der Uni ist es besser, aber immer haben wir etwas zu verbessern. Es
is das Problem der ganzen Tschechischen Republik. Mit der Kultur ist es schlecht. Der belibste Platz ist die
Kneipe oder zu Hause vor TV, weil hier nichts anderes in der Nacht möglich ist. Es ist wichtig Abfall zu trennen
und Leute sollen es wissen. Die Leute, die trennen, sollen einige Vorteile haben.

Einheitliches Gesundheitsaufbewahrungssystem für alle EU-Länder! Anforderungen bzgl. der Preväntion!
Kontrolle des Arzneimittelflüsses auf dem EU-Binnenmarkt! Telefonische- und Internetzugänglichkeit zu

60. Sozialer Wohlstandes durch Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (importance: 68%, disagreement: 30,
evaluations: 16)
Meiner Ansicht nach ist der Schlüssel zu einer erfolgreichen Politik zur Sicherung des Wohlstandes in Europa
nicht eine hermetische Abschottung gegenüber den Entwicklungsländern (im Besonderen jenen in Afrika)
durch milliardenschwere Programme zur (zum Teil gewaltsamen) Sicherung der EU-Außengrenzen. Vielmehr
kann eine sinnvolle Politik im Asylbereich nur so aussehen, dass man die Wurzel des Problems erkennt und
beseitigt: Viele Flüchtlinge (va in den afrikanischen Staaten) sind unter anderem aufgrund des Klimawandels
dazu gezwungen, ihre Heimat zu verlassen, da sie dort keine Möglichkeit zur Sicherung der Existenz
ihrer Familie erblicken. Natürlich zieht es sie dabei im Besonderen nach Europa, da hier in den letzten 60
Jahren nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges ein schier unglaubliches Wirtschaftswachstum und ein daraus
resultierender Wohlstand erreicht werden konnten. Würde man diesen Flüchtlingen durch eine Verstärkung
der Investitionen in der globalen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit in ihren eigenen Ländern Chancen und
Möglichkeiten auf einen gewissen Grad von Wohlstand bieten, hätten sie gar keinen Grund, ihr Glück in
Europa zu versuchen.

62. In die Ernährung, Landwirtschaft, Cannabis (importance: 67%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 13)
Ich denke, dass viele Probleme sich lösen würden, wenn wir statt nur auf's Geld zu schauen, mehr Augenmerk
auf die Ernährung unserer Gesellschaft legen. Es sollte strengere Kontrollen bei den Lebensmitteln, die wir
auf den Markt schmeißen geben, das betrifft Dinge, wie Nahrungsmittelzusätze, Gentechnik und Qualität.
Aufklärung über gesunde ernährung sollte gefördert werden, ebenso die Landwirtschaft in der EU. Es ist
wichtig, dass wieder mehr Wert auf Regionalität gelegt wird, unsinnige Fahrten, Ex- und Importe vermieden
werden. Ein gesund ernährter Mensch, ist ein leistungsfähiger Mensch, zudem weniger krank und zufriedener.
Dieses würde mehr Arbeitslust bringen, neue Kreativitäät und eine Entlastung der Krankenkqassen. Zudem
würde ich vorschlagen, weiche Drogen, wie Cannabis zu legalisieren, und darüber aufzuklären. Es wird von
so vielen Menschen von jung bis alt genutzt, die alle illegal handeln. Man könnte auch hierbei viel sparen,
da normale Menschen nicht mehr als Kriminelle abgestempelt würden, eine Menge an Polizeiarbeit gespart
würde, und Schmugglerringe keinen Ansatz mehr hätten. Ein kontrollierter, legaler verkauf könnte auch
Jugendliche abhalten, Cannabis zu konsumieren, und der Staat hätte eine neue Steuereinnahmequelle.
Arbeitsplätze würde es auch noch bringen, sowie neue Perspektiven in der Landwirtschaft. Somit bin ich der
Meinung, dass die Eu mehr über diese Themen nachdenken sollte, und auch handeln!

Es ist schwer ein kompromiss zu finden. Man sollte weder den Markt schuetzen noch den Markt sich selbst
ueberlassen. Ich gebe zu . Auch ich weiss keine antwort darauf. Aber auf jeden Fall solle man die tuechtigen
europaeischen firmen nicht vor die hunde gehen lassen, und alles was aus china kommt, kaufen (nur weil es
so billig ist). Dafuer gehen die arbeitsplaetze in europa verloren. Aber dies ist eine frage der erziehung.
68. Wirtschaftskredite (importance: 58%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 9)
Erleichterungen bzw. Anpassung an die Realität bei der Vergabe von Krediten. Derzeit ist es so, dass ein
Kredit nur sehr schwer gewonnen werden kann, außer man hat sehr viel Eigenkapital. Wieso braucht ein
Unternehmen Kredit? Eben wenn nicht genug Eigenkapital vorhanden ist. Was ist mit Risikokapital nach US-
Amerikanischem Prinzip?
69. Ausbildung, Wirtschaft, Lebensmittel
Meiner Meinung nach muss man Reformen in der Ausbildung machen. Man muss das Verhalten
zwischen den Schuelern und Lehrern veraendern. Die Schueler muessen ihre Lehrer verehren und
nicht beleidigen und als gleiche behandeln.

Arbeitsplätze schaffen bzw. sichern.

Ich wünsche mir von der EU noch weitaus mehr Förderung für alternative Energiekonzepte, mehr
Informationspolitik über die Funktionsweise der EU (ebenso mehr Vermittlung von Demokratieverständnis an
Schulen) und mehr europaweite Abstimmungen !
Für den Erhalt einer lebenswerten Erde. Zum Schutz des Klimas.
Seid der Gründung der EWG gilt der Prinzip von " the polluter pays". Ist es wirklich auch in der EU Legislatur
wiedergeben? Die EK hat Riesenschritte nach vorne gemacht in der Umweltschutz, aber weniger
Kompromisse zugunsten der Industrie wären der richtige Weg.
Es gibt ein zu wenig entwickeltes Umweltbewusstsein.
In Italien scheint mir die Luft eher belastet als in Deutschland. Man sollte mehr Hilfsprogramme zur Aufklärung
starten, damit in das persönliche Bewußtsein eindringen kann, dass Umweltschutz im persönlichen Sektor
anfängt (Auto stehen lassen, Motor aus, wenn das Auto steht)
83. Umwelt, Soziales, Gesundheit (importance: 82%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 15)
Die EU sollte auf jeden Fall verstärkt versuchen eine Führungsrolle im Klimaschutz zu spielen und dafür auch
Ausgaben in Kauf nehmen. Energieeffizienz und Klimaschutz sind Zukunftsthemen (Peak Oil) und wäre sicher
gut beraten nicht auch in diesem Fall die Führungsrolle den USA zu überlassen, wenn sie international mehr
Gewicht haben möchte. Die Bereiche Soziales und Gesundheit halte ich deshalb für wichtig, da es einerseits
EU-weite Mindeststandards geben sollte, andererseits die "kleinen" Leute spüren würden, dass die EU für sie
da ist.
84. Energie, Umwelt, Finanzmärkte, Lebensmittelqualität (importance: 82%, disagreement: 16,

Vor allem die Bereiche Energie, Umwelt und Lebensmittelqualität sehe ich als Ökologin vernetzt unter dem
Begriff "sustainability" der zwar mittlerweile zu einem Trendbegriff avancierte, jedoch fehlen mir persönlich die
Aktivitäten. Ich denke nicht, dass die EU sich neue Kompetenzen "aneignen" sollte sondern sehe ihre Aufgabe
in der Schaffung von Rahmen innerhalb dieser die Mitgliedsstaaten nach dem Subsidiaritätsprinzip handeln.
Vor allem für Energie- und Umwelttechnologie erwarte ich mir, dass die EU die sich bietende Chance nutzt,
und zum Vorreiter in Wissenschaft und Politik wird. Es geht darum, die "Vielfalt in Einheit" zu nutzen und
durch Kooperation innovative Spitzentechnologien zu fördern und damit die Industrie in Zeiten der Finanzkrise
zukunftsfähig zu gestalten.

Wir muessen sicher meher auf Oekologie setzen, faltz wir dass nicht Tun, werden wir seher grosse problemen
in Zukunft kriegen. EU muss abfallprodukte der Energiewirtschaft reduzieren vor allem Kohlenstoffdioxid und
Methan und sich auf Alternative Energie richten. Die Erneuerbare Energie mit Wasserstoff ist Zukunft und EU
sollte ihre Schwerpunkt darauf setzen.
88. Umweltschutz, Öffentlicher Verkehr, Bildung (importance: 80%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 15)
Umweltschutz: da gibt es schon viele gute Richtlinien der EU, oft enden die als nicht mehr wiedererkennbare
Gesetzestexte in den Ländern (IPPC zB). Wir müssen die Natur nicht schützen, Natur wird es noch lange
nach der Menschheit geben. Umwelt- & Naturschutz ist notwendig um uns selbst zu schützen. Öffentlicher
Verkehr: wie wir künftig den Individualverkehr organisieren ist wohl eine der größten Herausforderungen.
Mein Steuerberater fragt mich immer ob ich eh ein Auto habe und viel fahre, weil das kann ich absetzten.
Ich habe kein Auto mehr und fahre mit Öffis. Belohnt werde ich dafür mit schlechten Verbindungen in
überfüllten Zügen am Gang stehend. Wenn wir mobil bleiben wollen muss es eine Offensive zum Ausbau des
Europäischen Verkehrsnetzes geben. Bildung: unsere Gesellschaft lässt so viele Talente am Rande liegen.
Mehr Anstrengungen müssen unternommen werden, damit Bildungsstandards nicht nur vererbt werden.
Gerade bei der Diskussion in Österreich um das Bildungssystem habe ich oft den Eindruck, dass sich hier
ohne Massnahmen von aussen nicht verändern kann.

Bereich ist die Bekämpfung der Korruption und Betrugs. Öffentliche Ausschreibungen und Bewerbungen der
EU sollten auch strikt untersucht, nachgeschaut und die Vollführung der Projekt kontrolliert werden. Leider
denken viele an diesen Projekte und an EU als eine Kuh der unlimitiert die Milch gibt, eine Kasse die nie lehr
wird. Und viele denken (ich glaube zumindest in Ungarn leider), daß mit dem Geld das von der EU kommt am
Ende nicht von Cent zur Cent abgerechnet werden müssen.

100. Kommunikation; Umweltpolitik; Information (importance: 77%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 22)
Kommunikation: Die Senkung der Roaminggebühren war ein erster guter Schritt, ich fände es aber aus
mehreren Gründen vorteilhaft, wenn es nicht nur nationale sondern auch europäische Tarife gäbe, mit denen
Anrufe in jeden Mitgliedsstaat der EU, besser noch Europas, gleich viel kosteten. Dies würde nicht nur
mehr Konkurrenz für die einzelnen Anbieter bedeuten, sondern auch der heutigen Mobilität der Bevölkerung
Rechnung tragen sowie die Kommunikation insbesondere unter jungen Menschen sehr erleichtern. Zum
Beispiel ist es verhältnismäßig schwierig, nach einem ERASMUS-Aufenthalt von Bekannten erreicht zu
werden, da man das ausländische Handy aus Kostengründen wieder abschafft. Hätte man eine europäisches
Handy, könnte man seine Nummer beliebig lange behalten. Umweltpolitik: Ich möchte, dass die EU sich
auf diesem Gebiet auch nicht während der Finanzkrise ausruht, sondern international eine Vorreiterrolle
warnimmt. Insbesonder in Bezug auf die post-Kyoto Verhandlungen Information: Die EU ist weiterhin zu weit
weg vom alltäglichen Leben. Es sollte daher besser kommuniziert werden, was die EU macht, für welche
Fortschritte sie verantwortlich ist und was sie in der Zukunft plant. Ein großes Hindernis scheint mir dabei
weiterhin die Sprachenbarriere zu sein: Beispielsweise ist die Homepage der aktuellen Ratspräsidentschaft
nur in Englisch, Französisch und Tschechisch verfügbar, was nicht nur fviele deutsche Muttersprachler

Das ganze Gerede um Emissionswerte usw. nimmt der Mensch doch kaum noch ernst. Geldstrafen für
Umweltsünder mögen die Staatskassen füllen, unserer Umwelt wird dennoch ein unwiederruflicher Schaden

Können wir uns als Europäer endlich auf einen vergleichbaren Bildungssystem einigen? Und könnte wir auch
die Best Practice (siehe Skandinavische Länder) kopieren und nicht einen EU-Kompromiss wieder finden?
Demokratie ist keine richtige Ordnung für "dunkle" Gehirne. ich kann es kaum ertragen, dass in Italien, wo ich
wohne, oder in Polen, wo ich herkomme, die Bevölkerung so leicht und kurzfristig beeinflusst werden kann,
so dass entweder fuer haeuchler oder einfach für jene gestimmt wird, die überhaupt keine Ahnung von Politik
haben. so ist die italienische Regierung mit dubiösen Persönlichkeiten besetzt, demnächst werden für das
EP TV-Stars entsandt. im Lichte dessen ist für mich das Problem des Demokratiedefizits auf der EU-Ebene

Schaffen Sie Arbeitsplätze für junge Leute meiner Generation 30+, die hochqualifiziert sind und gegenwärtig

Arbeitgebern, dass wir, um leben zu können, auch etwas verdienen müssen! Machen Sie deutlich, dass ein
älterer Arbeitnehmer ebenso in der Lage ist, einer anspruchsvollen Tätigkeit nachzugehen. Kümmern Sie sich
um sozial verträgliche Arbeitsbedingungen und lassen Sie nicht länger zu, dass sich Manager auf Kosten
anderer bereichern und Geld zum Angelpunkt jeden Unternehmens wird! Investieren Sie in die Bildung!
Fördern Sie Schulen und Bildungsprojekte, geben Sie Schülern eine Chance auf Ausbildungsplätze! Wegen
des demographischen Wandels in Deutschland mache ich mir Sorgen: Was ist mit meiner Rente von morgen?
Finde ich kein adäquates Beschäftigungsverhältnis, bin ich nicht in der Lage, für meine eigene Zukunft zu
sorgen. Finanzieren Sie deswegen Projekte, welche die Generationengerechtigkeit fördern und machen Sie
deutlich, dass wir Generationen nur durch ein gemeinsames Miteinander in der Lage sind, die gewaltigen
Herausforderung des demographischen Wandels zu bewältigen.

In eine nachhaltige Energiegewinnung sollte investiert werden, die Entwicklung von Medikamenten
oder generell das Gesundheitssystem sollte gefordert werden. Eventuell koennte man sich etwas vom
skandinavischen Schulsystem abschauen und die W@lz, jene Schule die ich besuche, ist ein netter
Versuch eine Alternative zu dem veralteten Schulsystem zu schaffen. Die Buerokratie muss reformiert und
vereinfacht werden, in Zeiten des Internets kann viel Zeit gespart werden. Die Exekutive bzw die Polizei
sollte auch reformiert werden obwohl man da doch eher an der Wurzel anfangen sollte, die Gesetze sind
zum Teil ein Scherz. Wer seid ihr das ihr mir sagt was ich mir antun darf oder nicht, um etwas spezifischer
zu werden will ich auf eine katastrophale Drogenpolitik hinweisen. Mir wasauchimmer zu verbieten ist nichts
anderes als Diebstahl und Freiheitsberaubung an das Volk, keine Pflanze, kein Tier, kein Mensch und keine
Schoepfung Gottes ist illegal! Die Polizei sollte mich vor Dieben beschuetzen und mich nicht bestehlen. Ich

Billionen von Geldern zur Verfügung um die Banken und obere Gesellschaftsschichten zu retten. Da fällt man
doch aus allen Wolken als Normalverbraucher. Wenn wir in Zukunft ein goldenes Europa erleben wollen, dann
geht das nur mit einer gezielten Bildungs- und Förderungsinitiative. Bildung und gleiche Chancen für alle. Das
muss das Kredo sein. Unsere Schulen sind marode und die kaputten Bücher aus den 60er Jahren werden
aus Geldmangel von Gefängnishäftlingen neu gebunden. Da fragt man sich manchmal, ob die Politik mit den
Menschen ehrliche Absichten verfolgt...

Für mich als Student sind Bildung, Wettbewerb, Berufschancen und Altersversorgung wichtige Punkte. Ich
weiß, dass sich die EU im Bereich Bildung engagiert. Trotzdem sollte hier über die nächsten Jahre langfristig
noch mehr Engagement, Integration und Verbesserung betrieben werden, sei es über Projekte direkt durch
die EU, oder Maßnahmen die die Mitgliedsstaaten dabei anspornt und unterstützt hier mehr zu tun. Durch die
Förderung von Wettbewerb senkt die EU indirekt die Kosten für die Produkte die ich täglich komsumiere, wie
auch bei selteneren Ausgaben (z.B Flugkosten). Hier besteht schon ein Schwerpunkt und dieser sollte auch
weiterhin verfolgt werden. Berufschancen werden durch den Bolognaprozess langfristig verbessert, auch
wenn aktuell die Umstellungsphase nicht ganz unproblematisch verläuft. Dabei sollte hier auch weiterhin sehr
zielstrebig und schnell der Prozess vollzogen werden um den für alle Beteiligten unangenehmen "Übergang"
kurz zu halten. Denkbar wäre vielleicht eine Art Bolognaprozess auch im Bereich des Auszubildenden-
Sektors. Im Bereich der Altersvorsorge sehen viele Leute meines Alters schwarz. Viele gehen davon aus,
dass sie keine staatlichen Renten mehr bekommen werden. Hier muss die EU und ihre Mitgliedsstaaten
Konzepte entwickeln um den demographischen Wandel in Europa und die daraus entstehenden Folgen und
Unsicherheiten abzufedern.

Ich selbst war insgesamt 1 Jahr lang in den USA und ich weiß, wie wichtig es für einen jungen Menschenist,
neue Kulturen und Menschen kennen zu lernen. Das fördert Verständniss und bekämpft Vorurteile und
Rassismus. Immer wieder sagen mir Leute: "Toll, das du das gemacht hast - ich könnte es mir nicht leisten".
Das finde ich schade (und falsch), denn schließlich sollte jeder in der Lage sein, sich zumindest die Länder
der EU anzusehen, um eine Identität als Europäer zu entwickeln. Ich finde die derzeitige Unterstützung der
EU für Auslandsstudien gut und denke, dass man diese noch weiter ausbauen sollte. Konkret meine ich daimt
eine Erhöhung des Stipendiums, wenn man für ein Semester im Ausland studieren möchte und vor allem
SOLLTE ES AN ALLE STUDENTEN KOMMUNIZIERT werden. Das finde ich für junge Menschen undd damit

Hanf wird seit Jahrtausenden von der Menschheit genutzt, sei es als Medikament, Kleidungslieferant,
Nahrungslieferant (Samen, Öl) oder auch als Genussmittel. Genaue Inhaltsangaben (wieviel THC pro Gramm
usw.) machen den Konsum ungefährlicher, ebenso wie die genaue Anleitung wieviel man rauchen sollte sind
nur in Fahchgeschäften möglcih, nicht aber beim Strassendealer. Ausserdem gäbe es in Fachgeschäften
(oder Coffeeshops) Kontrollen bezüglcih des Alters, im Gegensatz zur jetzigen Lage (kein Dealer achtet auf
das Alter der Konsumenten). Dazu kommt die Verunreinigung mit Streckmitteln, die nur im Schwarzmarkt
besteht - ausserdem werden durch die Prohibition von Hanf der Schwarzmarkt, somit mafiöse und kriminelle
Strukturen gefördert - und dafür so sinnvolle Möglichkeiten wie die Benutzung als Medizin oder Dämmstoff
sehr stark erschwert (man denke an die Bürkratio, die bei einem legalen Hanfbauer derzeit notwendig ist: Er
muss jedes Jahr seine Saat komplett erneuern, muss alles peinlich genau dokumentieren, wo jedes einzelne
Gramm Hanfsamen verkauft wird usw. - obwohl die Nutzhanfpflanze kein (max. 0,3 %) THC enthält, und somit
eine Rauchwirkung unmöglich ist. Auch als normaler Bürger darf man keinen Nutzhanf anpflanzen, obwohl
dieser zu Rauschzwecken eh ungeeignet ist.

- die drogenpolitik ist ein chaos. zumindest in deutschland. es sollten von der EU konkrete ansagen kommen,
die jedoch zeitgemäß sind. eine 0.0 toleranzpolitik für drogen ist einfach nicht mehr zeitgemäß. es sollten
auch wissenschaftliche studien zu rate gezogen, und nicht nur solche, die "für mich" sind. auch sollte der
zusammenhang mit führerschein und drogen, speziell cannabis, sich ändern. es kann nicht sein, dass der
fürherschein entzogen wird, nur weil man am abend davor einen feierabendjoint geraucht hat und auf der
anderen seite 0,5 promille noch erlaubt sind... es spricht im prinzip für die legalisierung. sie würde viele
probleme nicht lösen aber mildern und auch einsparen, die momentan vorhanden sind. und nicht jeder kleiner

evaluations: 17)
Für mich ist es wichtig, dass Preise speziell bei Lebensmitteln nicht künstlich durch Subventionen verbilligt
werden. Preise sollten sich ohne Einflüsse frei bilden und der Konsument hat dafür den wohl etwas höheren
Preis zu zahlen. Schlieslich spielt es keine Rolle ob der Bürger erst höhere Steuern zahlt um dann verbilligte
z.B. Milch zu kaufen. Dies würde für mehr Gerechtigkeit für die Bauern sorgen und die Wertschätzung für
Lebensmittel und deren Verschwendung stärker begrenzen. Eine Preisabschottung gegen Märkte außerhalb
der EU wäre vllt die Folge Verärgert bin ich oft über sinnlose EU Richtlinien die weit weg von dem sein
müssen, was der Bürge denkt und erwartet. Aktuelles Beispiel ist die Richtlinie zu Rosé Wein. Demnach soll
es bald erlaubt sein einen "Wein" der aus Weiß- und Rotwein zusammengeschüttet wird als Rosé zu titulieren.
Begründung war, dass es die "Weinregionen" USA und Asien genau so handhaben. Was für ein Unsinn diese
Regionen als Kompetent in dieser Frage hinzustellen. So wird Europäische Kultur zerstört. Oft denke ich dies
wird durch eine übermäßige Regulierungswut und zuviel Personal in der EU verursacht In vielen EU Ländern
ist die Integartion sehr mangelhaft, speziell von weniger gebildeten Einwanderern, vorallem in Verlgeich zu
den USA. Die EU sollte es Schülern ermöglichen ein oder mehrere Jahre im Europäischen Ausland zu leben/
zur Schule zu gehn. Das Fördert den Europäischen Geist und schweißt zusammen. Ams

Die Drogengesetze innerhalb der EU sind sehr unterschiedlich und folgen keinem zentralen, durchdachten
und vorallem aktuellen Leitfaden. Weiche Drogen wie Cannabis werden in vielen EU Staaten immer noch
verteufelt und Konsum sowie Besitz mit strengsten strafrechtlichen Mitteln verfolgt. Hier sollte die EU
eingreifen. Der Drogenausschuss der UNO kam im März zu keinem Ergebnis was den "War on Drugs"
angeht und die EU sollte ein Zeichen für den Rest der Welt setzen auf den Weg zu einer vernünftigen
und liberaleren Drogenpolitik. Die Vorstellung einer Welt ohne Drogen ist mehr als unrealistisch, daher
sollten Steuergelder nicht darauf verschwendet werden Konsumenten hinter Gitter zu bringen sondern
Aufklärungsarbeit zu leisten und Menschen mit Drogenproblemen zu helfen (und damit meine ich keine
Therapie während einer Haftstrafe!). Eine vernünftige Drogenpolitik sollte sich an folgenden Punkten
orientieren: 1. Entkriminalisierung von Konsumenten 1.1 Entkriminalisierung des Anbaus zum Eigenbedarf
1.2 Abschaffung der geringen Menge (vergleich Österreichs Suchtmittelgesetz) 1.3 Abgaben von Cannabis
in Fachgeschäften (vergl. Coffeeshops in den Niederlanden) 2. Jugendschutz 2.1 Aufklärungsarbeit in
Schulen und Gemeinden 2.2 Überwachung der "Coffeeshops" durch den Staat 3. Schutz der Konsument

186. Cannabis legalisieren: Jetzt! (importance: 72%, disagreement: 39, evaluations: 13)
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich bin der Meinung, dass die Prohibition von Cannabis kontraproduktiv
ist. Statt Kinder und Jugendliche präventiv mit dem Thema Drogen zu informieren, fließen Millionen an
Steuergeldern in die Repression von Cannabis. Damit wird allerdings nicht das Ziel erreicht, kontrolliert mit
Drogen umzugehen, durch das Verbot von Cannabis ist ein Schwarzmarkt geschaffen, der Jugendlichen
unkontrolliert Zugang zu allen möglichen, teils mit Giften gestreckten Drogen, öffnet. Die Erfahrung hat
gezeigt, dass ein erhöhtes Verfolgungspotenzial durch staatliche Behörden nicht die erwarteten Ergebnisse
bringt. Deshalb fordere ich Sie auf: Legalisieren Sie Cannabis! Denn dadurch wird dem Schwarzmarkt
jegliche Grundlage genommen, die Droge wird konntolliert an Volljährige Personen abgegeben und die
Jugendlichen kommen auch seltener mit harten Drogen in Kontakt. Natürlich sollte man Cannabis dadurch
nicht verharmlosen, Hanf ist und bleibt eine Droge und hat immense Risiken für die Gesundheit der
Konsumenten. Mein Vorschlag wäre, das Geld, das durch die Repression eingespart würde in die Prävention
zu setzen, denn jeder Drogenkonsum hat seine Ursachen und kann nicht durch eine erhöhte Überwachung
der Konsumenten gelöst werden. Ein EU-Gesetz hat eine höhere Bedeutung als dass die Mitgliedstaaten
über den Umgang mit Cannabis verfügen. Setzen Sie die Leitlinien im Umgang mit Cannabis, damit ein
grundlegendes Problem der Gesellscha

Mit einer Legalisierung dieser überaus nutzbringenden und vielseitigen Pflanze könnten mehrere Probleme

um tausende unnötiger Prozesse entlasten, die Polizei könnte sich mehr auf die Verfolgung wirklicher
krimineller konzentrieren und nicht zuletzt könnte Hanf als Energiepflanze viellecht sogar dazu beitragen in
Zukunft auf Atomkraft verzichten zu können. Von dem enormen Potenzial im medizinischen Bereich ganz zu

189. Rechtssicherheit mit Reduzierung von Verwaltungskosten (importance: 71%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 11)
Rechtsicherheit ist ein Thema, welches heutzutage zu kompliziert und umständlich angegangen wird. Das
Recht sollte schlanker und gerechter werden und ernsthafte Anreize schaffen den Bürgern die Konflikte
anhand eines Leitfadens selbst zu lösen. Mein Ansatz wären hier die 10 Gebote. Ziel der EU sollte es sein,
ein einheitliches Gesetz zu schaffen, welches ein Bruchteil so groß wie das deutsche ist, aber den Bürgern
der ganzen EU zur Richtschnur dient. Ein Beispiel dafür, dass die Anreize derzeit falsch gesetzt sind: Es
geht der Glaube an das Gute im Menschen immer stärker verloren. Zitat eines Freundes: "Wenn man gut ist,
bekommt man ja doch nur ein drüber, weil immer die, die dreckiger und gemeiner sind, gewinnen. Da schaffen
unsere heutigen Gerichte auch keine Abhilfe." Ich konnte ihn wieder zurückholen und dran erinnern, dass
er das im Innnersten doch an das Gute glaubt. Bloß wenn schwache, stärker und immer wieder gebeutelte
Mitbürger diesen Satz einmal verinnerlicht haben, meinen diese sich in ihrem Umfeld auch nicht um Anstand
und Gerechtigkeit mühen zu müssen. Dadurch entsteht unnötig viel Kriminalität; schwer zu bekämpfende
Kriminalität, die unsere Gerichte unnötig belasten. Wenn diese Mitbürger nicht kriminell werden, resignieren
sie und verdummen, vegetieren vor sich hin. Dies ist noch gefährlicher: wieviel derart ausgebremste
Menschen einer Volkswirtschaft kosten, malen sich zu wenige Verantwortliche aus: sie werden krank, schaffen
nichts

191. Entkriminalisierung von Drogenkonsumenten (importance: 67%, disagreement: 31, evaluations: 18)
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, sehr geehrter Herr Barroso, mein Anliegen besteht in der
Entkriminalisierung von Drogenkonsumenten. Unser europäischer Staatenbund hat zur Zeit viele Probleme
und mit einer Legalisierung von derzeit illegalen Substanzen wie z.B. Cannabis, könnten einige dieser
Probleme eingeschränkt werden. Ich selbst gestehe ein, dass ich gelegentlich gerne Cannabis konsumiere.
Entgegen diverser Studien zeigt sich bei mir jedoch kein Leistungsabfall, im Gegenteil, ich bin sehr erfolgreich
in meinen Tätigkeiten und damit bin ich nicht allein. Jedoch belastet mich die Gefahr mit dem Gesetz in
Konflikt zu geraten, obwohl ich meine Leistung für die Gesellschaft vollbringe und stets respektvoll und
ansonsten gesetzeskonform handele. Bedenken Sie und Ihre Mitarbeiter die Vorteile einer Entkriminalisierung
von Cannabis und anderen Rauschmitteln: - zusätzliche Steuereinnahmen - Eindämmung des illegalen
Drogenmarktes - Verfügbarkeit von Sicherheitskräften für die Bekämpfung schwerer Verbrechen wie z.B.
Kinderpornografie etc. - ein verantwortungsbewusster Umgang durch kompetente und wahrheitsgemäße
Aufklärung über Gefahren und Wirkung von Drogen wird möglich - Keine Gefährdung von Konsumenten durch
unreine Substanzen - ein weiterer Wirtschaftszweig entsteht, der die Bruttoinlandsprodukte steigern kann Ich
bedanke mich dafür, dass Sie sich die Zeit nehmen, sich mit den Gedanken Ihrer Bürger auseinanderzusetzen
Mit freundlichen Grüße

Die jüngste Antidiskriminierungsrichtlinie sollte zunächst zurückgezogen werden. Bevor weitere
Initiativen der EU erfolgen, sollten die positiven und negativen Auswirkungen der bereits beschlossenen
Antidiskriminierungsrichtlinien abgewartet und ausgewertet werden. Zuviel staatliche Regulierung in
diesem Bereich schafft Denk-, Sprach- und Handlungsverbote, die eher einem autoritären Staat als einem
freiheitlichen Gesellschaftsmodell entsprechen.

195. Bittte entkriminalisieren Sie den Eigenanbau von Cannabis! (importance: 60%, disagreement: 43,
evaluations: 9)
Wer Cannabis oder andere psychoaktive Pflanzen für den Eigenbedarf anbaut, stellt keine Gefährdung
der Allgemeinheit dar, sondern hilft, den Schwarzmarkt auszutrocknen. Zudem schützt Eigenanbau die
Konsumenten vor Streckmitteln, die den Schwarzmarktprodukten oft beigesetzt sind. Eigenanbau bedeutet
hegenden und pflegenden Umgang mit lebenenden Pflanzen. Dies stärkt das Verantwortungsbewusstsein
gegenüber allem Lebenden, einschließlich dem eigenen Leben, und fördert so den
verantwortungsbewussteren Umgang mit Cannabis. Damit dient die Entkriminalisierung des Eigenanbaus der
Minimierung des mit Cannabiskonsum einhergenehenden Schadens. Im Gegensatz zum wirklichkeitsfernen
Abstinenzdogma ist wird eine Entkriminalisierung auch der gesellschaftlichen Realität von einer großen Zahl
unauffälliger Cannabiskonsumenten gerecht.

Botschaften auch noch, anstatt solche großteils wirklich nur als dumm und gefährlich zu bezeichnenden
Aussagen zu ignorieren. Kritischer Journalismus ist in den Mainstream-Medien stark rückläufig. Jedoch
brauchen wir genau diesen, um die eingesperrte Mentalität aufzubrechen. Aus Angst sperren wir uns ein,
laufen über die Isolation in Verkümmerung. Die Welt aber wächst immer mehr zusammen. Migration ist
nicht etwas, was verhindert werden kann. Sie muss akzeptiert werden. Das heißt, wir müssen uns zunächst
selbst und dadurch unsere Mitmenschen als das akzeptieren, was wir sind - nämlich fühlende und denkende
Lebewesen. Die eigenen Ansprüche sind hintanzustellen. Für friedliches Zusammenleben in immer höherer
Bevölkerungsdichte benötigen wir unsere Liebe und Verstand. Wir, als Nationen sind der EU beigetreten,
um eine GEMEINSCHAFT zu bilden, in der wir uns gegenseitig helfen, uns fördern, um unsere individuellen
Schwächen durch Zusammenarbeit in Stärken umzuwandeln. Lösen wir also unsere Versprechen ein -
hören wir auf, uns argwöhnisch zu beobachten aus unserem Loch des Nationalstolz heraus - alle Menschen
sind wir Brüder und Schwestern. Leben wir nun diese Erkenntnis und werden endlich zur Freude schöner

Kommunikation: Die Senkung der Roaminggebühren war ein erster guter Schritt, ich fände es aber aus
mehreren Gründen vorteilhaft, wenn es nicht nur nationale sondern auch europäische Tarife gäbe, mit denen
Anrufe in jeden Mitgliedsstaat der EU, besser noch Europas, gleich viel kosteten. Dies würde nicht nur
mehr Konkurrenz für die einzelnen Anbieter bedeuten, sondern auch der heutigen Mobilität der Bevölkerung
Rechnung tragen sowie die Kommunikation insbesondere unter jungen Menschen sehr erleichtern. Zum
Beispiel ist es verhältnismäßig schwierig, nach einem ERASMUS-Aufenthalt von Bekannten erreicht zu
werden, da man das ausländische Handy aus Kostengründen wieder abschafft. Hätte man eine europäisches
Handy, könnte man seine Nummer beliebig lange behalten. Umweltpolitik: Ich möchte, dass die EU sich
auf diesem Gebiet auch nicht während der Finanzkrise ausruht, sondern international eine Vorreiterrolle
warnimmt. Insbesonder in Bezug auf die post-Kyoto Verhandlungen Information: Die EU ist weiterhin zu weit
weg vom alltäglichen Leben. Es sollte daher besser kommuniziert werden, was die EU macht, für welche
Fortschritte sie verantwortlich ist und was sie in der Zukunft plant. Ein großes Hindernis scheint mir dabei

Ich bin ein großer fan von der Idee EU! Jedoch wundere ich mich, warum so wenig im Alltag über die

Senderposition nr. 47 bei den meisten Fernbedienungen liegt oder ARTE, der aber auch nicht besser
positioniert ist und auch nur in D und F (vielleicht auch in B) gesehen wird. Gibt es denn keine Möglichkeit,
ein EU weiten sender auf die Beine zu stellen? Ich denke der Lissabon Vertrag ist eine gute Sache und
mir ist auch bewusst, dass mit den bestehende Verträge, nicht mehr Demokratie möglich ist. Aber was ist,
wenn der Vertrag wieder abgelehnt wird? Ist es nicht möglich eine art "Schengener Refferendum Vertrag" zu
erstellen, der es ermöglicht, ein EU weites Refferendum abzuhalten, wo dann auch die Stimmen der Mehrheit
der Bürger zählt und nicht wie jetzt, wo ein Land alles blockieren kann, obwohl es nicht in der Mehrheit ist?
Somit müsste z.b. Irland nur zum Beitritt in der "Schengener Refferendum Zone" abstimmen. Ich bin ganz
ehrlich, ICH HÄTTE AM LIEBSTEN EINE "U.S.E", aber wäre zumindest nicht ein "United Europe" (UE), nach
Britischen Vorbild möglich? Ich glaube dies wäre sogar den Europa skeptischen Briten recht. Mir ist klar, es
gibt wichtigeres, aber der "Acker" sollte erst gute Vorraussetzungen bieten, bevor wir etwas anbauen. MFG

Beides sind sehr wichtige Faktoren für die Wirtschaft der EU. Mehr Arbeitsplätze mögen zwar die Gewinne
der Unternehmen verkleinern, jedoch der erhöhte Binnenmarktkonsum das Außenhandelsdefizit deutlich
verringern. Somit wäre eine geringere Abhängigkeit vom Welthandel gegeben und wird auch die Position
der EU stärken und in schweren Zeiten bestehen zu können. Auch würde das Fernziel Vollbeschäftigung
in EU Gegnern den Wind aus den Segeln nehmen. Denn mehr Arbeitsplätze bedeuten auch: zufriedene
Familien, mehr Wohlstand, höhere Bildungsmöglichkeiten für die Kinder. Damit bin ich schon. Zwei. Eine
Gesundheitspolitik nach Möglichkeit einen EU Bürgern kostenlos zur Verfügung steht trägt massiv zu
Produktivität unseres Wirtschafts Raumes bei. Unter den Arbeitsplätzen anzuschließen, steht es außer Frage,
dass niedrige Krankenstandszahlen auch den großen Firmen helfen. Auch damit lässt sich ein Standortvorteil
in der EU nützen. Die beginnende Überalterung der EU-Bürger führt zur inneren Lebensarbeitszeiten, umso
wichtiger ist es die Gesundheit und Arbeitsfähigkeit jedes einzelnen zu erhalten. Aber nicht nur die körperliche
Gesundheit ist wichtig auch die geistige muss einen hohen Stellenwert einnehmen. Depressionen, Burn

zusätzliche Staatskontrolle eingeschränkt wird. Immer wieder wird der Terrorismus vorgeschoben um uns
irgendwie zu kontrollieren. Die Regierungen wollen auf Privat PC's zugreifen, Nacktscanner an Flughäfen

sich bedingungslos für die Menschenrechte und deren Durchsetzung einsetzt, dass sie gegen die Todesstrafe
eintritt und dafür Sorge trägt, dass die Freiheit eines jeden Menschen, insbesondere der Frauen, die nahezu
überall auf der Welt unterdrückt, ausgebeutet und missbraucht werden, endlich durchgesetzt werden - ohne

Ich sprach mich aus für FESTIGUNG des EU-ZUSAMMENHALTES. Ich will nur eine einzige zweckdienliche
Maßnahmen herausgreifen. Die EU befürwortet die kulturelle wie auch die Sprachenvielfalt; - vollkommen
richtig! Zweifellos ist die Beherrschung mehrere Sprachen wünschenswert, vorteilhaft und für das Verständnis
der Kulturen förderlich. Sicherlich ist L.Orbans Ansicht richtig, daß Englisch alleine nicht ausreichend ist.
Ich frage, genügt das? Wäre es nicht sinnvoller, statt irgend eine dritte Fremdsprache zu lernen, eine für
ALLE Staaten GEMEINSAME Sprache zu beherrschen? Sollte ich mich nicht in JEDEM Mitgliedsland mit
einer "europäischen Zweitsprache" unterhalten könnten? Ich spreche nicht von diesem Jahr, nicht von
Ihrer Amtszeit. Ich spreche schon gar nicht von 'Esperanto', wie oft fälschlicherweise heraus gehört wird.
Ich spreche von der Zeit unserer Enkel und Urenkel. Kinder lernen Sprachen spielendleicht. Sollte man
nicht heute die Weichen stellen, daß in ALLEN Ländern Kinder von Beginn an ein und dieselbe Sprache
lernen? [z.B. alle TV-Kindersendungen in der 'Europa-Zweitsprache']. Eine solche Sprache würde den
Zusammenhalt der EU-Staaten stark fördern, wie auch den kulturellen Austausch; zusätzlich gibt es viele
wirtschaftliche Vorteile. Dies ist nicht als Gegenstück zum Modell "Muttersprache + 2" gedacht, sondern zu

einer Multikultur-Gesellschaft. Wir erlauben nahezu unkontrollierte Einwanderung von Afrika und Asien und
vergessen, daß Europäische Werte speziell auf einen Christlichen Glauben fußen. Ich selber lebe als
Österreicher nunmehr seit 2 Jahren in Rumänien und genieße viele der Europäischen Errungenschaften wie
Reisefreiheit und Niederlassungsfreiheit - Dinge die ohne einer EU niemals in diesem Maße möglich gewesen

sollten die Beamten und Regierenden sich mehr solidarisch zeigen mit den Bürgern, indem sie nicht mehr
verdienen wie diese. Denn die Spesen, welche sie erhalten sind schon dreimal soviel wie der Verdienst eines
Normalverbrauchers. Zudem muß endlich Gleichberechtigung herrschen, indem die Unternehmer alle das
gleiche Risiko tragen. D.h. dass Banken wenn Sie Verluste machen selber dafür aufkommen müssen, und
wenn diese in Konkurs gehen, dann soll das genauso sein, wie bei einem Kleinbetrieb. Dort haftet nähmlich
der Unternehmer persönlich und wird sogar noch bestraft und nicht wie die Banken, die noch belohnt werden,
wenn sie Miliardenverluste machen. Es darf nicht sein, dass Menschen die ihr Geld leicht verdienen besser
behandelt werden, als Menschen die Ihr Geld schwer verdienen müssen. Dies wird eines Tages den Unmut

Die EU sollte mit all Ihren Mitgliedsstaaten jedes verdammte Geldinteresse hinten an stellen, um dauerhaften
Frieden in der Welt zu schaffen. Ich habe noch nie gehört, dass jemand mit Alkohol-Problem durch Konsum
von weiterem Alkohol behandelt wurde. Somit sind Kriege auch nicht durch Krieg zu beenden. Jedweder
Eingriff einer fremden Nation in die Auseinandersetzungen anderer Nationen ist völliger Humbug, selbst wenn
dieser Eingriff "Friedenstruppe" heißt. Einfacher wäre doch, den hier ansässigen Waffenfabriken einfach den
Garaus zu machen. Dann können sie auch nichts mehr liefern, und die Kampfverrückten können sich weniger
leicht um die Ecke bringen. Wir brauchen diese Fabriken ebenfalls nicht, weil jedwede Angriffslust anderer
durch Verständnis und Erklärung abgewendet wird. In beiden Fällen gilt: Mann gegen Mann, mit Blick in des
anderen Auge, ist der Mensch gar nicht fähig zu töten, es sei denn die Not obsiegt. So sollte es auch Aufgabe
der EU sein, die Nöte aller Menschen wenigsten anzuhören und darauf einzugehen. Man kann natürlich von
keinem Abgeordneten verlangen, alle Bürger anzuhören, zumal nicht alle Ihre Probleme artikulieren können.
Allerdings setzt die Regierung (egal ob Staat oder EU) selten bis nie auf die Hilfe der Bürger. Und wenn der
Bürger freiwillig helfend eingreift, dann wird das eher belächelt, als das dort Verehrung stattfindet.

ausgenommen werden. Es geht um Cannabis. Um Cannabis als Medizin - wie es (reguliert und besteuert)
bereits in den Niederlanden, in Kanada, Spanien, Italien und 12 Bundesstaaten der USA an Patienten

anderen seite 0,5 promille noch erlaubt sind... es spricht im prinzip für die legalisierung. sie würde viele

Die Prohibition hat versagt, Legalisierung ist das kleinere Übel! Als Legalisierungsbefürworter bin ich

wünschenswert, leider ist dies aber Illusion! Verbote haben mehr Schaden als Nutzen angerichtet, vor allem
den Nutzern der Suchtstoffe! Meistens sind es kranke Menschen und eben nicht die Händler die diskriminiert,
gejagt, sozial degradiert, viele ins Gefängnis eingesperrt, wie Vieh behandelt werden. Dafür verschwenden die
EU-Staaten Milliarden von Steuergeldern, man könnte sich dieses Geld sparen für wichtige, richtige Projekte!
Der Jugendschutz wird nicht gefördert, er wird behindert! Es wird in kauf genommen, dass sich Konsumenten
am unkontrollierten Schwarzmarkt bedienen und sich selbst hohen gesundheitlichen Risiken, z.B. durch
gestreckte Drogen, aussetzten. Die EU-Staaten, wie auch Andere, überlassen kriminellen Netzwerken und
Terroristen riesige Gewinne aus dem Drogenhandel, damit untergraben diese Elemente unsere demokratische
Grundordnung! Sehen Sie es ein und ändern Sie das, Herr Barroso!

Die Studie "Report on Global Illicit Drug Markets 1998-2007" hat gezeigt, dass die letzten 10 Jahre
Drogenpolitik keine Effekte gezeigt hat. Es wurde nicht weniger konsumiert, dafür wurden 100 Tausende
Menschen kriminalisiert. Es ist nicht nachvollziehbar ist, dass Alkohol und Tabak legal sind, wohingegen
Cannabis verteufelt wird. Neuere wissenschaftliche Studien bescheinigen Cannabis eine relativ geringere
Gefährlichkeit als Alkohol und Tabbak. Die derzeitige auf Repression basierte Politik hat also versagt. Nun
wäre es schön, wenn die EU dies auch akzeptieren könnte und nicht den Kopf in den Sand steckt und sagt:
"Die letzten 10 Jahre Drogenpolitik haben nicht den gewünschten Effekt gehabt. Machen wir weiter so!". Es
ist an der Zeit, dass neue Wege evaluiert werden. So würde beispielsweise das Modell der Cannabis Social
Clubs dafür sorgen können, dass a) keine Minderjährigen an Cannabis kommen, b) es Qualitätskontrollen
gibt, dadurch c) die Konsumenten geschützt werden, d) der illegale Markt vernichtet wird, e) Gerichte,
Staatsanwaltschaften und Polizei entlastet werden, f) nicht zuletzt Cannabis kein Tabuthema mehr ist,
sondern im Gegenteil dadurch problematische Konsummuster schneller gesehen und somit auch behandelt
werden können. Stattdessen werden Menschen kriminalisiert und in die Illegalität getrieben, die keinem
anderen Schaden. Der Anbau einer Cannabispflanze zum Eigengebrauch sollte legalisiert werden.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, sehr geehrter Herr Barroso, mein Anliegen besteht in der

und mit einer Legalisierung von derzeit illegalen Substanzen wie z.B. Cannabis, könnten einige dieser
Probleme eingeschränkt werden. Ich selbst gestehe ein, dass ich gelegentlich gerne Cannabis konsumiere.
Entgegen diverser Studien zeigt sich bei mir jedoch kein Leistungsabfall, im Gegenteil, ich bin sehr erfolgreich
in meinen Tätigkeiten und damit bin ich nicht allein. Jedoch belastet mich die Gefahr mit dem Gesetz in

von Cannabis und anderen Rauschmitteln: - zusätzliche Steuereinnahmen - Eindämmung des illegalen
Drogenmarktes - Verfügbarkeit von Sicherheitskräften für die Bekämpfung schwerer Verbrechen wie z.B.
Kinderpornografie etc. - ein verantwortungsbewusster Umgang durch kompetente und wahrheitsgemäße
Aufklärung über Gefahren und Wirkung von Drogen wird möglich - Keine Gefährdung von Konsumenten durch
unreine Substanzen - ein weiterer Wirtschaftszweig entsteht, der die Bruttoinlandsprodukte steigern kann Ich

nonsense and find better ways to deal with drug problems. There are smarter ways than police force.

positives einbringen und basierend auf dem Solidaritätsprinzip alles gratis konsumieren! 3) Nachweise der
Sprachlichen Fähigkeiten des Gastlandes 4) Bedarfsprüfung VOR der Erteilung des Einwanderungsrechtes:
EU Bürger die in klassische Einwanderungsländer wie Australien, USA oder Canada auswandern wollen,
müßen sich - vollkommen zu Recht - einem Sprachentest und einer Bedarfsüberprüfung unterziehen. Die
EU gewährt teilweise vollkommen unterqualifizierten und schlechtes Ausgebildeten Nicht-EU-Bürgern das

Die EU soll sich für einen energieeffizientes Transportsystem in ganz Europa einsetzen. Hierbei sollte
unter Berücksichtigung der Lebenszyklenkosten der Infrastruktur, der Energiekosten zur Nutzung und der
Flächenverbräuche der jeweiligen Transportarten miteinander verglichen werden und die einzelnen Länder
aufgefordert werden aufgrund der für sie notwendigen Kapazitäten einen möglichst effektiven Mode Split für
sich zu definieren. Somit hätte nicht nur die EU eine Möglichkeit die Gesamtenergieeffizienz in diesem Bereich
zu koordinieren sondern die Bürger hätten auch endlich eine Information zum Nutzen/Kosten ihrer nationalen
Transportpolitik. Ausserdem wäre ich für eine Verstaatlichung der Mobilfunkinfrastrukturen oder wenigstens
die Schaffung nationaler Firmen hierfür, das würde den Staat in eine ganz andere Verantwortung für die
notwendigen Antennen bringen und den Markt der Anbieter beleben. Beim Tierschutz möchte ich eigentlich
nur dass Mindestmassnahmen zur Sicherung von tiergerechter Tierhaltung existieren und von jedem befolgt
werden müssen. Respektive dass kein tierischen Produkte aus Betrieben die ihre Tiere anders behandeln in
die EU kommen dürfen. Bei der Lebensmittelqualität hat die EU sehr gut daran getan die regionalen Produkte

342. grenzüberschreitende Infrastrkturplanung (importance: 76%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 15)
Die Verkehrsinfrastruktur wird den heutign Anforderungen nicht gerecht. In Zeiten des Klimawandels ist es
fatal, ständig neue Autobahnen zu bauen anstatt die Bahnverbindungen sinnvoll auszubauen. Dazu gehört
es insbesondere, das infrastrukturelle Brachland zwischen Mittel- und Osteueropa für umweltfreundliche
Verkehre zu erschließen. Wie kann es sein, daß Autofahrten zwischen München und Prag oder Warschau
schnell doppelt so schnell gehen wie eine entsprechende Bahnfahrt?
Ich würde mir wünschen, dass das öffentliche Verkehrsnetz nicht nur ausgebaut wird, sondern es auch EU-

Meiner Ansicht nach ist der Schlüssel zu einer erfolgreichen Politik zur Sicherung des Wohlstandes in Europa
nicht eine hermetische Abschottung gegenüber den Entwicklungsländern (im Besonderen jenen in Afrika)
durch milliardenschwere Programme zur (zum Teil gewaltsamen) Sicherung der EU-Außengrenzen. Vielmehr
kann eine sinnvolle Politik im Asylbereich nur so aussehen, dass man die Wurzel des Problems erkennt und
beseitigt: Viele Flüchtlinge (va in den afrikanischen Staaten) sind unter anderem aufgrund des Klimawandels
dazu gezwungen, ihre Heimat zu verlassen, da sie dort keine Möglichkeit zur Sicherung der Existenz
ihrer Familie erblicken. Natürlich zieht es sie dabei im Besonderen nach Europa, da hier in den letzten 60
Jahren nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges ein schier unglaubliches Wirtschaftswachstum und ein daraus
resultierender Wohlstand erreicht werden konnten. Würde man diesen Flüchtlingen durch eine Verstärkung
der Investitionen in der globalen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit in ihren eigenen Ländern Chancen und
Möglichkeiten auf einen gewissen Grad von Wohlstand bieten, hätten sie gar keinen Grund, ihr Glück in

Die europäische Agrarpolitik muß sich ändern. Die überkommene Vorstellug, daß immer mehr produziert

obwohl dieses Geld besonders in Zeiten der Wirtschaftskrise anderswo dringend gebraucht würde.
Andererseits sorgt sie für einen Preisverfall (besonders bei der Milch). Ein solcher Preisverfall gefährdet
nicht nur die Existenz der betroffenen Bauern. Er geht auch zu Lasten der artgerechten Tierhaltung und des
Umweltschutzes, weil Bauern auf diesem Gebiet schnell sparen können, wenn es ihre Not erfordert. Statt auf
Massen sollte auf Qualität geachtet werden!

Ich denke, dass viele Probleme sich lösen würden, wenn wir statt nur auf's Geld zu schauen, mehr Augenmerk
auf die Ernährung unserer Gesellschaft legen. Es sollte strengere Kontrollen bei den Lebensmitteln, die wir
auf den Markt schmeißen geben, das betrifft Dinge, wie Nahrungsmittelzusätze, Gentechnik und Qualität.
Aufklärung über gesunde ernährung sollte gefördert werden, ebenso die Landwirtschaft in der EU. Es ist
wichtig, dass wieder mehr Wert auf Regionalität gelegt wird, unsinnige Fahrten, Ex- und Importe vermieden
werden. Ein gesund ernährter Mensch, ist ein leistungsfähiger Mensch, zudem weniger krank und zufriedener.
Dieses würde mehr Arbeitslust bringen, neue Kreativitäät und eine Entlastung der Krankenkqassen. Zudem
würde ich vorschlagen, weiche Drogen, wie Cannabis zu legalisieren, und darüber aufzuklären. Es wird von
so vielen Menschen von jung bis alt genutzt, die alle illegal handeln. Man könnte auch hierbei viel sparen,
da normale Menschen nicht mehr als Kriminelle abgestempelt würden, eine Menge an Polizeiarbeit gespart
würde, und Schmugglerringe keinen Ansatz mehr hätten. Ein kontrollierter, legaler verkauf könnte auch
Jugendliche abhalten, Cannabis zu konsumieren, und der Staat hätte eine neue Steuereinnahmequelle.
Arbeitsplätze würde es auch noch bringen, sowie neue Perspektiven in der Landwirtschaft. Somit bin ich der
Meinung, dass die Eu mehr über diese Themen nachdenken sollte, und auch handeln!

El sistema financiero internacional con los bancos centrales como estandartes, fabrican dinero a su antojo
con unas mínimas medidas de control, que son para su seguridad, evitando la creación ilimitada de este
bien. Con sus mecanismos son capaces de generar la actual crisis económica. La FED tiene de federal lo
que la empresa de transportes FedEX, y lo mismo scede con el BCE. Es fundamental devolver a los estados,
en concreto y por lo que nos importa en este caso, a la Unión Europea, el poder de fabricar este dinero,
ya que los bancos lo crean como deuda. Tienen el benefcio de los intereses, ya que el dinero creado es
destruido cuando la deuda es restituida, pero el cobro de intereses se realiza a costa del dinero que tenía el
mercado antes de la creación de deuda. A demás de este mcanismo de empobrecimiento de la sociedad
y los estados, la deuda ha demostrado ser un corcel desbocado, y estos banqueros son capaces de poner
de rodillas a personas y estados cuando alegremente deciden dejar de fabricar dinero. Y su motivación es
bastante oscura. Los bancos nacieron en europa, espero que mueran en ella. Al menos debería hacerlo el

La economía europea ha de continuar con el proceso de convergencia. El mercado único tiene flagrantes
salvedades como el mercado de las telecomunicaciones y tantos otros que siguen estando realmente
cerrados. Esto evita la creación de grandes europeos que puedan competir a nivel mundial y que compensen
nuestras ayudas sociales ofreciendo porductos y servicios de mayor valor añadido. El mercado laboral ha
de ser flexibilizado, pero es muchísimo más importante el impulso de una nueva forma de educar a aquellos
que después formarán parte del mercado laboral. La ambición que se ve en los jovenes de muchos países
desarrollados (esas ganas de trabajar todo lo necesario y más para prosperar) no se dan en la acomodada
sociedad europea. Y somos la sociedad más acomodada del planeta, más que los estadounidenses: ellos
también cuentan con una sociedad desarrollada, pero nosotros contamos además con una protección
social que nos hace creer que el estado nos debe algo cada vez que algo ocurre. En mi opinión es de vital
importancia para todo esto un impulso a la Unidad política, para que vaya de la mano de la económica, PERO
diferentemente comunicada. El error de la constitución fue que en vez de mostrarse como una simplificación
de los tratados anteriores y herramienta para lograr una mayor eficiencia de la unión, apareció como un salto
que parecía querer suplantar la identidad de cada nación. Es clave seguir reformando de la PAC, intentando

Entiendo que la creación de puestos de trabajo es el primer paso para que el resto funcione. Si tenemos
dinero para cubrir nuestras necesidades (vivienda, Comida, ropa, etc), damos vida a la economia y a su vez
generamos nuevos puestos de trabajo. Hasta la fecha los gobiernos estan tapando los problemas de la mala
gestión de las grandes empresas de ciertos sectores, sin que esas inversiones lleguen a la gente normal de
la calle. SOLUCIÓN INEFICAF E INUTIL PARA SALVAR LA ECONOMIA. Los sueldos, esta claro, que no
pueden aumentar en la medida de las necesidades. Pero los gobiernos si pueden conceder avales o creditos
destinados a particulares, autonomos y pymes, de forma que puedan refinanciar sus deudas actules y bajar
de forma notable los importes de las cuotas mensuales. Estos creditos o avales, en caso de impago, al ser
concedidos por la banca publica (nacional o de comunidades) se podria cobrar de forma rapida, como lo hace
hacienda o la tesoreria de la seguridad social. "Todo el mundo pagaría". El resultado es generar empleo y que
los que lo tienen tengan mas liquidez al final de mes. Si compramos generamos trabajo.
La solución al trabajo no pasa por abaratar los despidos, eso solo sirve a los empresarios, ¿cuándo se darán

39. educacion, salario, trabajo (importance: 86%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 11)
Tengo problemas en la informacion que se da sobre el plan de Bolonia. Mucha gente se queja, la mayoria con
razones evidententes, pero existe otra minoria que se queja por quejar. EN cuanto al salario hay muchisima
gente mal pagada, salarios pauperrimos y malos, luego los empresarios e inclusive grandes empresas no se
responsabilizan de nada. Luego estan los ERE, si es la unica manera de rebajar costes... ¿que pasara con
empresas tales como Renault? ¿Unicamente van a fabricar en Francia? Por ultimo, el trabajo. Cada dia lo
veo mas negro. Estoy estudiando, con dificultades, una carrera para luego engordar las listas del paro, segun
veo en este momento.
40. EMPLEO, OPORTUNIDADES, IGUALDAD, SOLIDARIDAD, GENEROSIDAD. (importance: 86%,
CREO QUE LA COMUNIDAD EUROPEA DEBE PROMOVER LA CREACIÓN DE NUEVOS EMPLEOS
Y EMPRESAS, LAS CUALES DIVERSIFIQUEN LA INDUSTRIA Y PERMITAN DISTRIBUIR MÁS
EQUITATIVAMENTE LA RIQUEZA. DE IGUAL FORMA, DEBE PROCURAR LA INTEGRACIÓN DE
PERSONAS PROVENIENTES DE PAÍSES EXTRACOMUNITARIOS, AL MISMO TIEMPO QUE ENVÍA
MÁS TRABAJADORES HACIA ESTOS ÚLTIMOS -SOBRE TODO, HACIA PAÍSES DEL TERCER MUNDO-.
DEBEMOS ENTENDER, DE UNA VEZ, QUE LA VERDADERA SATISFACCIÓN Y FELICIDAD INDIVIDUAL
RADICA EN LA IGUALDAD MUNDIAL, EN TODOS LOS SENTIDOS, EN LUGAR DE EN LLENARNOS
-UNOS POCOS- CON TODA LAS POSESIONES POSIBLES. SABEMOS QUE LA VIDA ES MUY CORTA,
Y LA MISMA NO TRATA DE TODO LO QUE PODAMOS RECIBIR SINO EN TODO LO QUE PODAMOS
DAR, SIN QUE ESTO SIGNIFIQUE VIVIR EN POBREZA. SÉ QUE PUEDE SONAR UTÓPICO, PERO SI
YO, CON SÓLO 32 AÑOS, HABIENDO VISITADO UNOS 20 PAÍSES, HABIENDO VIVIDO EN RIQUEZA
Y POBREZA, PUEDO CONCLUIR ESTO, CREO QUE USTEDES YA DEBEN SABERLO, Y TIENEN
EL PODER ABSOLUTO PARA REALIZARLO. AHORA, REFIRIÉNDOME UN POCO AL PROYECTO
DE LA TARJETA AZUL, EL CUAL CONSIDERO BASTANTE ACERTADO, OPINO QUE DEBE TENER
UNA MAYOR APERTURA Y AÚN MEJORES BENEFICIOS. SE DEBE PROCURAR BENEFICIAR
TANTO AL PAÍS RECEPTOR COMO AL PAÍS EMISOR Y, POR SUPUESTO, AL TRABAJADOR EN
CUESTIÓN DE MANERA ESPECIAL. DE ESTA FORMA, PASARÍAMOS YA A CREAR UNA COMUNIDAD
EJEMPLAR, VERDADERAMENTE DE PRIMER MUNDO; AYUDANDO, LLENANDO VACÍOS Y VIVIENDO

41. Trabajo, educación, salud, derechos sociales... (importance: 86%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 5)
Como casi todas las constituciones de los paises miembros de la UE recogen, el derecho a un trabajo digno,
acorde a nuestros niveles de formación y experiencia, con horarios que permitan conciliar la vida personal de
cada uno, que distribuyan las tareas para que todos puedan acceder a un puesto de trabajo, y por loo tanto
lejos de medidas aprovadas en la UE con 65H semanales, y más próximos a las 35H de una UE actualizada
a los nuevos tiempos; con salarios acordes al nivel de vida de los paises, con un salario mínimo profesional,
por encima de los 1000€.

Mejorar las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores en la UE, facilitar las oportunidades para trabajar.
Desarrollar proyectos que fortalezcan la cultura y el liderazgo sociopolítico europeo. Luchar para que la unión

45. Empleo, Vivienda,Sanidad. (importance: 85%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 11)
En cuestion de empleo en España habria que aumentar el salario minimo interprofesional. En vivienda, no
se puede dejar la vivienda en manos de los especuladores, es necesario un control de los precios en cuanto
el derecho a la primera vivienda. Se debe modernizar mas la sanidad en cuanto a tiempo de espera, hay
muchos fallos a la hora de las citaciones, en muchos casos una visita al expecialista se demora cuatro o
cinco meses como mínimo.
46. salud, trabajo, medio ambiente, política social (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 11)
es prioritaria garantizar la salud de los europeos pero no sólo con un buen sistema médico sino sobre todo
con prevención, educando y estimulando hábitos saludables. Es necesaria una UE más social y menos
económica, más politica real y social y sobre todo sin fronteras, es necesario potenciar las relaciones entre
los pueblos y el trabajo en cualquier lugar de europa. Necesitamos una lengua común y una politica social
común (única caja de pensiones, única caja de seguridad social, asistencia sanitaria universal y global en
toda la unión, etc)
47. Proteger el empleo (importance: 85%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 15)
48. el empleo, (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 8)
la ue deberia concentrar esfuerzos y recursos en mejorar el empleo en europa, una mejora cualitativa que
afectase a las condiciones de los trabajadores y que al final reforzara el capital humano dentro de la union,
mostrando especial sensibilidad a los jovenes pues la entrada al mercado laboral para estos es complicada y
muy dificil,
49. Exigir a las empresas de servicio públicos calidad europea (importance: 85%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 7)
Las telecomunicaciones, transportes, salud, educación, etc. todos lo que sea público, pero que ha sido
privatizado o siendo privatizado debe tener un nivel altísimo de calidad y deben primar los derechos de los
usuarios. En espña las emrpesas que han sido privatizadas (electricidad, telefonía, gas, etc.) son las peores
empresas y allí están las quejas y denuncias como prueba de ello.
50. El empleo precario y/o la situación de trabajadores. (II) (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 16)
Muchas empresas no tienen ni respeto ni escrúpulos hacia el trabajador y su carrera profesional, creo que la
UE debería regular de alguna forma la relación empresa/trabajador, ya que éstas en muchas cocasiones la
carrera profesional del trabajador no les importa interesandose tan sólo de crear beneficios e intentando que
el trabajador les salga por el mínimo gasto, sin un programa de formación/ reciclaje ni formación adicional, sin
oportunidad de evolucion profesional. Contratos con salarios mínimos.. etc.
51. reactivación económica, optimización de recursos, (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations:

La UE debería de tener un papel más activo en la actual crisis económica. Si hasta ahora se le han pedido
sacrificios a los países miembros para cumplir los requisitos de Maastricht cuando más falta hace la UE
¿dónde está?. El ciudadano entiende que eran necesarios, precisamente como "vacuna" frente a los tiempos
difíciles. La UE ha tardado mucho en reaccionar con una voz en la crisis y desgraciadamente, más que
Unión Europea, es Unión ECONÓMICA Europea. SE DEBERÍA MODIFICAR EL SISTEMA FINANCIERO y
establecer más controles a las entidades privadas de crédito.

Una buena educación supone una mayor formación y por tanto un mayor desarrollo del país y de europa.

debe ajustarse a las necesidades de la población y un sistema de bienestar social es igualmente necesario
para el mantenimiento de la un sistema de salud justo y equilibrado para los ciudadanos

54. vivienda, trabajo, mobilidad, cultura (importance: 84%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 8)
la vivienda tiene que ser mas accesible. de ninguna manera puede ser objeto de especulación, como los
alimentos y la salud. Es una necesidad basica. Trabajo para todos, no podemos llegar nunca mas a una tasa
del 20∞ de desempleo. Hay que tomar medidas para repartir el trabajo y el capital. Mobilidad de transporte
publico entre pueblos medianos, rapido y barato. Cultura + educación, solo asi podremos ser mas solidarios,
mas libres i podremos disfrutar de la vida plenamente.

Soy investigador y trabajo en proyectos de investigación europeos, por lo cual lo primero para mi es la
investigación obviamente.
57. En el fomento del empleo. (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
Creo q ahora mas q nunca el fomento del empleo tanto entre nosotros los jovenes q disponemos de amplia
formación pero carecemos de una experiencia solida, q es al fin y al cabo lo q mas buscan las empresas. Y
considero q esto ya no es solo por la crisis actual tambien por lo menos en España es complicado encontrar
un empleo debido a la falta de experiencia lqboral
58. Potenciar la economía (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 16)
Se debe potenciar la economía pero de manera efectiva y de igual a igual. Por ejemplo, China no respeta los
derechos humanos, hace dumping social y los trabajadores no tienen los mismos servicios ni derechos que
en Europa, cómo vamos a poder competir con ellos si no pagan lo que deben pagar? Ese desequilibrio se
debería corregir con aranceles.
la UE, aunque si bien es cierto que se esta esfrozando por desarrollar mecanismo que foemnten el empleo,
no se hacede manera correcta. no se dan mecanismos de control con respecto la manera de contratar por
parte de las empresas, ni como sus contratos abusivos corrompen el desarrollo laboral en europa. ademas
la banca privada esta demasiado inmiscuida en los asuntos laborales, marginando las opciones publicas
estatalers que por otro lado son insiuficientes o poco menos que absurdas, para el hecho de resolver
problemas graves. aun teniendo experiencia se mira antes la ljuventud que otros parametros. como joven
que soy eso es bueno para nostros, pero para segundos empleos por causas de despidos es un problema
para aquellas personas que aun en edad laboral no pueden conseguir trabajo por ser demasiado mayores,
ademas de ser personas que en su momento consiguieron sus empleos no por vias academicas
60. Educación, primer empleo y salario mínimo (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 15)
Educación de mayor calidad, evitar que los estudiantes y licenciados estén años y años como becarios
cobrando 270 euros al mes por un trabajo que sustituye al de un empleado normal, y promover políticas
sociales que promuevan el biestar social y no sólo el bienestar económico.
61. empleo, futuro, vivienda, emancipación, ayudas (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
Me preocupa mi futuro, encontrar un trabajo digno tras finalizar mis estudios. Me preocupa no poder acceder
a una vivienda por los altísimos precios de las mismas. Me preocupa el bienestar social, el poder compaginar
la vida laboral y la social o familiar de cada persona. Quiero que el trabajo forme parte de tu vida, no que tu
vida la forme el trabajo.
62. Educación, formación, economía, civismo... (importance: 83%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 16)
Tras los años de exceso y descontrol que hemos vivido y su posterior "rebentón", cuyas consecuencias
nefastas estamos viviendo, es más necesario que nunca que nos centremos en los aspectos que se encargan
de esculpir a los ciudadanos de mañana, en todos los niveles, no solamente en la formación profesional, pues
es palpable el fiasco (al menos en España) en el que torpemente nos movemos. Deshechar los modelos de
superconsumismo que han dominado un pasado reciente, debe ser el primer paso hacia una nueva estrategia
que debe prestar especial atención al medio ambiente y a la sostenibilidad planetaria.

por ejemplo en el ambito d la television, estaria bien que todos los europeos tuvieran acceso a ver gratis
todos los canales (al menos los canales publicos) que se emitn en otros paises de la UE aprovechando
la posibilidad de se abre con la TDT. el idioma es ciertamente un obstaculo, pero creo que seria bueno
para conocernos mas intercomunitariamente. Tambien en lo que afecta a poder contratar compañias
de telefonia de diferentes paises segun la oferta que sea mas economica, aqui en España los precios
del ADSL son muchos mas caros que los de otros paises y mas lento. seria una manera de potenciar la
competencia. favorecer el intercambio en educacion ademas de ERASMUS, comenzar ese intercambio a
edades mas tempranas, una Union Europea mas cercana y mas agil con los ciudadanos para que a la hora
de votar sintamos que realmente se hace algo por los ciudadanos y no simplemente decisiones politicas y
economicas.

La dificultad que tenemos los jóvenes para poder desarrollarnos como ciudadanos europeos cada día es más
grande. No sólo es difícil encontrar empleo, sino que su estabilidad es cada día más precaria, una situación
de la que no se libra ni el empleo público. Cada día contemplo el hecho de formar una familia más como un
lujo que no está a mi alcance y me siento más y más prescindible. Algo que, en mi opinión, se da de bruces
con la idea de Europa.

la competividad actual hace q todo sea más frágil y peligroso. espero poder alquilar sin pagar tanto, es un
abuso! los bancos y las constructoras deberian ser todas publicas!
69. proteger os cidadãos das crise económicas (importance: 82%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 11)
* direito a uma casa digna. Proibir a especulação sobre terrenos e casas. Uma casa é para viver e não
para fazer dinheiro com a sua compra e venda. Negócio só com o aluguer. * o estado não deve permitir aos
bancos hipotecarem pessoas/famílias por mais de 40% do seu rendimento salarial. * obrigar as empresas
a criarem um fundo de poupança sobre uma percentagem dos seus lucros anuais. Em tempo de crise,
este fundo servira para "aguentar o barco", mantendo a empresa e trabalhadores no activo. * se com estas
medidas as economias de mercado dos paises desenvolvidos avançam mais devagar, então estes paises
deveriam investir muito mais nos paises sub-desenvolvidos para ampliar assim o comercio a nivel mundial!
Com isto ajudariamos a acabar com a fome no mundo e incentivar o comercio justo e sustentavel a nivel
planetário!
70. Economía, política social, nuevas tecnologías, ecología. (importance: 82%, disagreement: 24,
evaluations: 10)
Se debería encontrar otro modelo de crecimiento, respetuoso al máximo con el entorno. Me parece
imprescindible la inversión en el desarrollo y aplicación de nuevas tecnologías (energía limpia, trasporte,
infraestructuras). Además se debe prestar especial atención a los estratos sociales más necesitados.

76. Trabajo, Educación, Seguridad, Economía (importance: 82%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 16)
Economía, Educación y Trabajo en mi opinión van cogidas de la mano.Deberían de debatirse y pactarse a
nivel europeo medidas y, sobre todo, reformas económicas, educativas y a nivel laboral para intentar salir
poco a poco de la crisis en la que nos encontramos y la vorágine de aumento del desempleo en toda la
UE. Entre ellas una regulación a nivel general del tema del empleo para poder facilitar la movilidad de los
profesionales que, como yo, tendríamos que desempeñar nuestra labor sin mayor problema en cualquier país
de la UE y una mejor regulación de la jornada laboral que mejore la productividad de algunos países que
como España es demasiado baja. En temas de Educación, es alarmante el incremento del fracaso escolar.
Así como a través del Plan de Bolonia se aplicará un modelo común(en mi opinión imperfecto, polémico y al
que le ha faltado consenso en su aprobación) debería empezar a plantearse la misma idea al resto de niveles
escolares. A nivel Económico, si bien es cierto que, se están realizando continuas reuniones para aplicar
medidas que nos saquen de la crisis económica actual, estas medidas son insuficientes y no se refuerzan
con reformas a nivel económico que imposibiliten el caer en los mismos errores. A nivel de Seguridad Interior
me gustaría que los estados miembros mejoraran su colaboración en la erradicación del terrorismo pero que
también se establecieran o mejoraran los protocolos de actuación europeos frente a los d

mi carrera porque estudio criminología.
78. TRABAJO, FORMACIÓN Y VIVIENDA (importance: 82%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 15)
Todos los jóvenes tenemos derecho a conseguir una oportunidad en el mundo laboral alguna vez en la vida
sin tener que pasarnos estudiando 20.000 años. Debería de haber más becas internacionales y dar lugar a
la movilidad europea para los jóvenes. Derecho a viviendas de protección oficial y a precios controlados y
limitados
Actualmente estamos inmersos en una crisis global y la UE debería tener un papel principal en las medidas
que se están tomando para remediarla. Sin embarlo, es vergonzoso ver como se deja a cada Estado crear
sus propios planes de emergencia, lo que está creando una situació de descordinación que no es propia de
lo que se supone es la Unión Europea. Por otro lado, Estados Unidos está tomando el mando de todos los
cambios que se van a suceder en el sistema económico global, y teniendo en cuenta que el origen de esta
crisis está dentro de sus fronteras, no creo que sea muy buena idea seguir ahora sus consejos y mandatos.
80. Desempleo (importance: 81%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 12)
Proteger a los autónomos sin trabajo
81. La UE debería crear una bolsa de trabajo comunitaria (importance: 81%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 12)
Pienso que la UE debería estar mas presente en este ambito para facilitar la cohesión y el intercambio
entre los paises miembros de la UE, este intercambio de trabajadores devolverá el mercado de trabajo más
competitivo, mas enriquecedor, permitirá un mejor intercambio de competencia y experiencias. Por lo que
después de la experiencia exitosa de los estudiantes erasmus, y del futuro plan bolonia, que hará de la
UE, una unión de paises con mayor intercambio y con una mejor valoración del trabajo, que sin duda es el
único camino válido hacia el progreso y el éxito profesional. Planteo esta idea porque para mi, el alma de
uan sociedad es su vida diaria, que sin duda es la vida laboral, por lo que es para mi una idea que permitiría
hacer de esta unión cada vez más fuerte, ya que sus ciudadanos estaran cada vez mas movilizados, mejor
comunicados y hará de ellos unas personas que harán de la unión europea algo mas fuerte que una patria,
una unión basada en la buena voluntad, excelente vecindad y pasará con gran éxito las barreras linguiticas
que hoy están presentes.

Empleo porque para la mayoria de las personas es la base para poder ganarse la vida; Educación para que
cada uno pueda desarrollar su potencial; Salud porque sin ella no se pueden hacer proyectos vitales; Medio
Ambiente, para nosotros y los que vienen detrás; Igualdad de oportunidades y derechos, de punto de partida,
y que cada uno llegue donde pueda; Solidaridad porque es la idea base para una Europa Unida y fuerte,
desde tu casa hasta el país vecino. Mi idea de Europa no sólo se ciñe al resultado de un proceso histórico, o
una organización supranacional, o una serie de instituciones que tratan de armonizar la diversidad de cada
país, de Portugal a Estonia. Europa para mi es cientos de millones de personas con sus ideas, problemas,
sueños, aspiraciones,ilusiones; aunque hablemos diferente queremos las mismas cosas, y tenemos muchas
necesidades comunes. Una Europa unida podría ser el garante de esas personas; culturalmente un faro para
el mundo, y económicamente un motor y un modelo. Gracias. Juanjo Barroso.

Creo que se debería fomentar mucho más la lengua común, el sentimiento europeo desde pequeños y la

El empleo como presente y futuro a corto plazo o medio y la educación como futuro de las generaciones

ayudando a mantener la sociedad, para procurar el enriquecimiento de todos, asi como facilitar el estudio de
idiomas para crear una europa mas felxible, y con mayor movilidad y facilidad para todos los habitantes.

94. Pienso que debería incluir el empleo entre mis preocupacion (importance: 80%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 6)
Tras consultar las respuestas que dieron otros participantes en la encuesta, me he dado cuenta de que el
tema del empleo afecta a miles de ciudadanos de los EM. Quizás, por no haber llegado todavía al mercado
laboral en mi caso, no me había dado cuenta de lo duro que es la integración en un mercado tan exigente
para el laboral. Para facilitar el salto a la vida laboral, sería muy interesante si la UE tratase de potenciar
los acuerdos que tiene con las empresas, con el fin de multiplicar las ayudas para los estudiantes recién
licenciados (contratos en prácticas, cursos de formación, etc.)
95. La crisis económica (importance: 79%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 9)
Por mucho que se nos explique no llegamas a asir la magnitud de esta crsisis y la parálisis a la que nos
aboca. Los bancos han pasado de hacernos la corte a hacrnos la guerra. Se tiene la impresión que se están
aprobechando de la situación y mucha gente piensa en por que no se inicia ya de una puñetera vez un
proceso de nacionalización bancaria.
96. El empleo precario y/o la situación de los trabajadores. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 16)
El empleo precario y/o la situación de muchos trabajadores hacen que los ciudadanos seamos menos
producentes como trabajadores,asi como una pérdida grandísima de calidad, de vida. Muchas empresas
que son grandes (al menos en España) que se vanaglorian de modernas y de ejemplares para un país,
cuidando al trabajador, con departamentos de recursos humanos y una supuesta especialización laboral o
en las tareas que el trabajador, para mejorar su rendimiento y subienestar; es puro escaparate. Puesto una
vez que contratan a un profesional esa imagen de empresa ejemplar se desmorona ya que no se preocupan
del desarrollo y proyección laboral del trabajador, así como de conjugar la vida laboral con la vida personal o
familiar. Lo que conlleva a una frustración personal y profesional del trabajador así como de una pérdida de
esfuerzo y tiempo profesional que se invierte en esa empresa. Lo que me gustaría es que la UE creara una
comisión o algo similar para regular y controlar a las empresas, tanto en las cuestiones y relaciones entre
empresa y empleado (independientemente de los sindicatos) así como de respetar convenios, horarios y
trayectorias laborales en las empresas. Sé que sería algo complicado. Pero después de llevar trabajando 7
años en una gran empresa española de grandes almacenes, siendo contratado debido a una formación, he
visto como mi carrera profesional desde que empecé a trabajar se estancó desde el primer momento. Ningún
intento de evoluci�
Los tipos de interes del Banco central europeo nos afectan directamente, ahora estamos en un 1,25%, las
hipotecas estan baratas pero sera dificil que bajen por debajo del 1%, la caida de los precios en general
conlleva el peligro de la deflacion, la venta de viviendas ha caido un 60% los precios bajan pero muchos son
los ciudadanos que se han quedado sin empleo y otros tantos los que tienen un futuro incierto en medio de
un expediente de regulacion de empleo temporal, no se consume esperando a que los precios sigan bajando,
circulo vicioso que lleva a que no se venda y, por tanto, se tengan que tomar tales medidas.

En mi país es muy difícil que la gente se mueva por un empleo. Pero lo es aún más, si no conoce que existe.
Me he dado cuenta que no puede tentarte lo que no conoces. Además, pienso que las ofertas de empleo
público no están suficientemente accesibles para todos los ciudadanos de la UE de la misma forma. Pienso
que no es bueno el proteccionismo, ni siquiera en el empleo público. Quizás sea un buen método para
introducir más productividad en el sector público incluso.
100. trabajo, justicia y educación (importance: 79%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 9)

campañas a nivel Europeo, sino realizar más esfuerzos comunes para dar una respuesta a esa enfermedad,
crear un gran centro de investigación y ponerle freno. Sin salud, no hay trabajo, hay exclusión social, y es un
problema que lleva años arrastrándose sin darle solución.
103. Control económico (importance: 79%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 10)
Aprender de los errores del pasado y crear medidas de control. Pensar en las repercusiones a largo plazo,
crear riqueza con bases firmes y reales, no especulativas.
104. Empleo, banca,Energía, vivienda, transporte y comunicacione (importance: 79%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 14)
Estimado Sr Barroso, a mi juicio, hay que hacer un enorme esfuerzo para que estas áreas que condicionan
el día a día, no sólo de los ciudadanos de la Unión Europea deban ser públicas y tuteladas por Instituciones
públicas.
105. burocracia,legalidad,empleo,economía y un largo etc. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 10)
Se debe simplificar los procesos burocráticos porque la mayoría de las veces son absurdos y contradictorios,
sobre todo, ya que son dilatados por lo menos hacer cumplir y cumplir la leyes, en algunos casos es la propia
administración la que genera indefensión. Tener los políticos responsabilidad, por publicidad engañosa y no
cumplir con sus cometidos, o sea, destitución, ejemplo crisis económica, concesión de créditos a empresarios
que no llegan, establecer medidas que ya estaban en otras leyes como novedad ( ej. VPO).... A nivel de
empleo, llevar un mayor control de los ERE y una mayor inspección de trabajo, ha aumentado la economía
sumergida, crear más boificaciones y subvenciones a empresa pero con un período largo de permanencia en
actividad si no penalizarla.... Finalmente, regularizar mejor y llevar un mayor control de las ayudas de asuntos
sociales porque no todos los que la poseen tienen necesidades y así podría aumentarse y darlas a quiénes
realmente la merecen. Finalmente, proteger más y con mayores medidas de bienestar a los SOLTEROS SIN
HIJOS MAYORES DE 30 AÑOS, a los que nos crujen en impuestos y estamos vetados para muchas áreas
vitales, como viviendas (VPO), ayudas alquiler,etc....
106. Regulacion de mercados (importance: 78%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 15)
Para que no vuelva a suceder lo que ha originado la crisis global
107. La situación económica, la precariedad laboral, mi bienest (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 11)
Soy estudiante. Este año acabo mis estudios de Licenciatura en Derecho, y mi futuro es bastante incierto.
Salgo al mercado laboral en un contexto de crisis. No es seguro que vaya a encontrar trabajo -al menos, de
forma rápida- y cuando lo encuentre, si las estadísticas no fallan, lo más probable es que sea un empleo
precario y mal remunerado, con unas condiciones laborales que no me permitirán hacer planes, en lo
personal, a largo plazo. No es seguro que los sistemas de protección social vayan a permitirme paliar
mi situación, o al menos, no de manera suficiente. Aunque espero, a pesar de todo, tener suerte, no creo
que una generación como la mía, que ha trabajado duro, debiera verse dejando en manos de la fortuna
su futuro. Nuestra vida no puede seguir las mismas reglas que un casino. Tal vez reforzando los sistemas
de protección social la situación sería diferente. Durante mi carrera, he tenido tiempo para estudiarlos con
relativa calma. Aún hoy, no entiendo por qué los paises miembros de la Unión Europea no adoptan medidas
coordinadas en este sentido. No veo otra solución. Ninguno de nuestros países es lo bastante fuerte como
para hacer frente en solitario a la situación económica que vivimos. Y yo quisiera tener, al menos, las mismas
oportunidades que tuvo la generación de mis padres.
108. Estudio y trabajo (importance: 78%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 17)
Yo estudio Diseño de Moda por las mañanas de 10:00 hasta 13:00, y luego despues trabajo en una oficina
de 15:30 a 00:00. Es muy complicado para mi compaginar los dos y quisiera que hubiera una ley en la UE
para apoyar los estudiantes, que desafortunadamente tienen que trabajar para poder pagar sus estudios y
sus casas. Me habia imaginado algo por ejemplo si un alumno puede demonstrar a su empresa q estudia, la
empresa estaria obligada a dejarle hacer media jornada, pero pagando salario completo. Yo lo digo porque
es muy dificil compaginar estudio y trabajo y es algo que requiere mucha forza de voluntad y ni todos los
estudiantes tienen el apoyo de sus familias para custear sus estudios.

109. ¿Por que se deja ganar tanto dinero a grandes empresarios? (importance: 78%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 17)
Creo que el origen de esta crisis no está en los bancos ni en otra cosa mas que en los empresarios,politicos
coruptos,y en general la gente que tiene tanto dinero que no lo da utilizado.Ese dinero que ellos
tienen,deveria estar controlado por los gobiernos,controlar sus ganancias,para que el dinero esté mejor
repartido entre la población.El dinero no se puede quedar todo en el bolsillo del mismo,sino los demas
estaran sin él(es lo que está pasando).La crisis se terminaria cojiendo a los 3000 mas ricos del mundo y
sacandoles el 80% de sus dolares para repartir entre los mas desfavorecidos,y cuando digo desfavorecidos
es eso,no a los amiguetes del alcalde ni nada de eso...pero bueno,eso nunca se va ha hacer.
110. Identidad, intercambio, politica extranjera, economia (importance: 78%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 14)
La UE aun no tiene identidad propia, estructura de estado. Se debe formentar mucho mas el intercambio
entre las naciones. En este nuevo mundo, el peso de la UE deberia ser mucho mayor. La economia debe
estar al servicio de la sociedad, y no alreves.
111. trabajo, trabajo.....trabajo. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 9)
si no tienes trabajo, todo lo demas no tiene importancia.
Se debería mirar en ayudar a los países que realmente lo necesitan, no tan solo bajando los tipos del interés,
tal y como hace ahora el Sr. Trichet y el BCE, sino de más formas, como ayudas para financiar al pueblo (que
no al Estado). Con la última expansión de países del este, actualmente casi todas las ayudas van a ellos,
pero también hay paises, y no tan sólo me refiero a España, sino también Portugal, Italia, Grecia o incluso
los grandes como Francia, Alemania o Reino Unido, que necesitan actualmente la ayuda de algún fondo
europeo, y aún más con la actual situación económica.
113. Empleo, seguridad ciudadana, vivienda, cultura libre (importance: 78%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 11)
Empleo: En estos momentos estamos más necesitados que nunca de la creación de empleo con una calidad
mínima que es lo que parece que se ha olvidado porque la UE parece más preocupada por los lobbies que
por los ciudadanos Seguridad ciudadana: el desempleo y la falta de cobertura social hace que aumente la
seguridad ciudadana La burbuja inmobiliaria y de alquiler ha provocado la expulsión del mercado a muchos
jovenes que se obliga a vivir con sus padres ya que se da la combinación de sueldos bajos y costes altos
Cultura libre: Las directivas europeas de la gestión de internet no paran de amenazar la cultura libre y la
libertad de expresión
114. Mayor esfuerzo en investigación en común. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 15)
Ya se hace en algunas áreas. Debería aumentarse la investigación comunitaria en Medicina.
El gobierno español inyecta 30.000 millones de € a los bancos y cajas de ahorros con objeto de que a su vez
den creditos a familias y empresas, pero estos siguen sin dar ni agua, a la vez que eluden su responsabilidad
en la actual situación
116. Educación, Empleo, Igualdad, Clima (importance: 78%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 19)
Sería fundamental una mayor preocupación por la sociedad. Los asuntos sociales pasan muchas veces
inadvertidos
117. Educación, racismo, cultura y economia. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 12)
Educación, es el pilar básico, en lo que se debería invertir más. Racismo y xenofobia són un problema que
empiezaa a aparecer cada vez más y que deberia corregirse mediante leyes más duras con las agresiones
racistas y medianttee educación. Cultura, en cuanto a respeto y promoción de todaas las culturas europeas.
Protección i reconocimiento de lenguas sin estado i naciones sin estado ( NO me refiero a independentismo,
sino a protección cultural).Ej. El catalán no es un idiomaa oficial en la UE pero lo hablan más de 9.000.000 de
personas entre España, Francia, Andorra e Italia. Economiaa, creo que se estan haciendo bien las cosas en
economia aunque ahora no vaya bien. Hay que procurar ser menos protecconista

Empleo, Integración Europea, mejorar la calidad de vida de los Europeos con acciones sociales que de
verdad mejoren nuestro ritmo de vida y aumenten nuestra calidad de vida, queremos una Europa mas
democratica donde podamos elegir no solamente a los parlamentarios sino al presidente de la comisión
tambien, donde la cohesión para un futuro gobierno Europeo sea la prima, donde tengamos una economia
EUROPEA y no tengamos que depender de los EEUU, Europa debe ser un Pais de Paises donde la prima
sea...EL BIENESTAR DE LOS EUROPEOS.....este es el tema principal que nos afecta a todos....nuestro
bienestar y esto se arregla con empleo y politica sociales comunes de alta embergadura que nos den la
posibilidad de salir adelante, soy un joven de 22 años que perdi mi empleo y me cuesta mucho pagarme mi
estudios, quiero mas ayudas para que esto no pase.
119. Relaciones europeas de trabajo y comunicación (importance: 78%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 7)
Al igual que en España se han trasladado las competencias de trabajo a las comunidades autónomas, en
cuanto a las prestaciones por desempleo deberían servir para toda la Unión Europea y no sólo para cada
país miembro, junto con facilitar las bolsas de trabajo comunes y un idioma común que surja de la ciudadanía
120. Empleo, vivienda, dinero, cualidad de vida, autonomia (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 9)
Soy italiana y estoy en España con un proyecto europeo (EVS).Tengo dos carreras y me gustaría buscarme
un trabajo en este país, pero como??siempre te piden de hacer una practica en la que no te pagan, no me
parece correcto. La cualidad de la vida, la autonomia, dependen mucho de la possibilidad de trabajar, usar la
propria conociencia y profesionalidad.Los proyectos europeo son un buen instrumento para empezar y para
hacer practica, pero no son suficientes. Los jovenes necestan más protection contra un sistema contractual a
menudo demasiado contra el joven.
121. Crisis economica (importance: 77%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 9)
122. INMIGRACION, EMPLEO, EDUCACION (importance: 77%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 7)
LA EDUCACION ES LA BASE DE LA SOCIEDAD, NO ES POSIBLE QUE ESTUDIAR CUESTE UNA
FORTUNA.
123. Desarrollo de ciencia y tecnologia (importance: 77%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 14)
La Unión Europea ha demostrado mucha menos agilidad para el desarrollo tecnológico que otras grandes
potencias mundiales; en concreto, Estados Unidos. Ello es una seria amenaza para nuestra competitividad.
Se deberian sentar las bases para que nuestro desarrollo científico y tecnológico fuera tan agil como el de
Estados Unidos, aprovechando para ello las dimensiones tan grandes que supone nuestro mercado único.
124. Trabajo, comunicación y moviblidad (importance: 77%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 8)
Fomentar el acceso a puestos de trabajo y aplicar mediante el uso de un idioma común intercambios y viajes
de todas las personas que quieran por las distintas zonas de la Unión Europea
Empleo y poder adquisitivo
126. Conciliar la vida familiar con las obligaciones profesionale (importance: 77%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 13)
Tras una vida laboral de 9 años ingresé en la función pública europea en 1985 en Bruselas. En el 2004 me
castigaron con un traslado forzoso injustificado y ahora estoy sin empleo y sin sueldo, por culpa de una
gestión desastrosa de los recursos humanos. En mi puesto hay otros colegas que no tienen mis limitaciones
personales. Predicar con el ejemplo estarìa muy bien. Las instituciones no se ayudan entre sí porque no me
trasladaron al Parlamento Europeo donde había un puesto similar y ni tan siquiera me invitaron a participar
en el proceso de selección. Soy española, catalana bilingüe, trabajo en inglés y francés, me defiendo
sobradamente en alemán y estoy indignada.

127. Impulsar la nueva economía de servicios y bienes intangible (importance: 77%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 10)
La economía de movimiento de tangibles (recursos naturales, alimentos) y producción de manufacturas
y procesados va dando paso a una nueva economía del conocimiento, las consultorías, etc. Esto debería
aprovecharse para frenar la concentración en las grandes ciudades, de forma que productos ubicuos como
el agua, las energías renovables, etc. pudieran aprovecharse mejor al no concentrarse tanto la población.
Un impulso de modalidades de teletrabajo redundaría en una reconolización rural, con las ventajas
medio ambientales y sociales que esto conlleva, además de la posibilidad de recuperar las explotaciones
agropecuarias familiares que pueden ser necesarias en un escenario futuro de incremento de los precios o
agotamiento de los combustibles, sin una alternativa viable, de forma que no redundara en un encarecimiento
de estos productos básicos. Un matrimonio que vuelve al campo con un teletrabajo, puede subsistir con un
único salario, mejorando el nivel nacional o europeo de empleo, mientra el cónyuge puede realizar un trabajo
centrado en su comunidad local, o atender una pequeña explotación familiar que ayude a su economía. La
UE no puede confiar en un modelo económico de crecimiento perpetuo, conceptualmente inviable y que
conduce a la sociedad a reajustes periódicos tan duros como el que nos enfrentamos estos meses. Por
ello creemos que debería enfocar sus esfuerzos económicos y educativos en un impulso de esta economía
distribuido en todos los secto
128. empleo, economia, justicia, inmigracion, defensa (importance: 77%, disagreement: 14, evaluations:
12)
empleo: crisis y empleo= desastre economia: crisis economica mundial, repartición de riquezas acumuladas
Justicia: menos flexibilidad con asesinos y a quien no respeta la vida del projimo. inmigración: adaptación
integración, y mas tolerancia. defensa: menos gasto innecesario personal y material, y menos "guerras
justas" y mas inplicarse en la mejora de la sociedad del pais en conflicto, reivindicando el respeto por la vida
ser humano como maximo valor univesal.
129. Ayudar a la PYME pueda competir contra las grandes empresas (importance: 77%, disagreement:
Acabo de comprar una participacion importante en una empresa aeronautica en Andalucia. Un reto muy
bonito tras más de 15 anhos trabajando en importantes multinacionales del sector. Sin embargo, no podemos
acceder a proyectos mayores que nos permitan competir y crecer por la imposibilidad de financiar el fondo de
comercio (entre la entrada del pedido hasta que se cobra pueden pasar entre 9 y 12 meses de media). No se
trata de ser viable, que lo somos, si no de que se impongan a las grandes empresas unos limites razonables
en los pagos, como en Francia (30 días fecha factura). En Espanha, se van a 120 o más días.
130. movilidad profesional (importance: 77%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 8)
131. Política Exterior y Mercado Común (importance: 77%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 12)
Desde mi punto de vista, la política europea está lejos de alcanzar un óptimo en política internaciona,
debería actuar como un único ente, y no como países independientes. Esto lograría una mejor posición a
nivel mundial. El Mercado común es algo que me afecta de manera directa como a todos los residentes en
Estados pertenecientes a la moneda única, aunque se estén consiguiendo grandes resultados, el mercado
único todavía es un plan en desarrollo.
132. transportes), economía, PAC (importance: 77%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 9)
omunicaciones (transportes), moneda única sólida, política agraria común egoista; falta de una política
sincera, valiente y sin prejuicios exterior y de defensa. lo mismo para la política d einmigración y de
integración. hay que respetar, valorar y hacer respetar nuestros valores que nos han llevado a la prosperidad
133. Economía, educación, investigación, seguridad, sanidad. (importance: 77%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 16)
Ahora mismo en la economía porque los ciudadanos estamos pasando y viviendo unos momentos difíciles en
las empresas y en el área doméstica. Se debe de apoyar a nuestras empresas a que sean tecnológicamente
avanzadas y competitivas, al mismo tiempo que respeten el medio ambiente. En el campo educativo, se debe
de velar por aumentar el nivel de nuestros estudiantes, ya que hemos retrocedido alarmantemente respecto
a los países asiáticos y EEUU. Hay muy pocas universidades españolas entre las 150 mejores del mundo. La
investigación debe ser el vehículo que impulse nuestra empresas y economía. Tenemos que ser competitivos
y eso sólo es posible con la investigación. Seguridad, Europa se enfrenta a problemas terroristas y debe de
mantener y reforzar sus vínculos con EEUU. Sanidad, debemos mantener las cotas actuales y facilitar que los
países de la UE tengan todos los mismos estándares

134. economia y nuevas tecnologias (importance: 76%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 15)
es cierto que la UE esta empezando a desarrollar una politica de cambo en sus sistemas economicos, en
los cuales se apuesta por las nuevas tecnologias, sim embargo, lo ciual me parece en pleno siglo XXI poco
menos que un error politoco y de los politicos grave o muy grave, aun seguimos anclados en un sistema
capitalista neoliberalista basado en el petroleo. si la UE prsume de su una confederacion estatal que mira
hacia el progreso, deberiamos tener otros medios econmicos, ayudando a los paises subdesarrollados (los
que ahora mismo nos dan sus materias primas, a cambio de miseria) a desarrollarse ampliamente. ademas
esto seria bueno, pues podriamos incentivar un comercio a mayor escala en nas mismas condiciones,
incentivando asi el comercio mundial y el intercambio de divisas, ampliando el mercado en un mundo cada
vez mas globaloizado
135. Pienso que debería incluir el empleo entre mis preocupacion (importance: 76%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 5)
136. Títulos académicos y movilidad profesional (importance: 76%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 14)
Aunque el proceso de Bolonia está siendo implantado en España, los que ya hemos obtenido nuestros títulos
nos encontramos con la dificultad para estudiar y trabajar en otros paises de la EU. La movilidad laboral se
dificulta por todo ello. A este respecto cuando obtuve mi beca Erasmus fue dificil el hecho de la poquísima
ayuda económica que se me proporcionó, 100€ al mes y los cobré al finalizar el programa.
137. más ayudas para conciliar trabajo y familia (importance: 76%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 10)
138. segurdad ciudadana, educacion, trabajo, complementariedad (importance: 76%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 16)
Las politicas segregacionistas de algunos paises geneanhondas polarizaciones entre la poblacion migrante
esto afecta la seguridad ciudadana del ciudano de a pie; la educacion debe mantenerse en el nivel q esta y
profundizarse; garantizar trabajo y trabajo complementario con migrantes calificados de otras cultiras para
evitar inseguridad ciudadana e inequidad
139. Relación Universidad -empresa, trabajo, salud, (importance: 76%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 16)
Asegurar que aquellas personas que estudian tendrán un trabajo al acabar sus carreras, sueldos
competitivos, conciliar vida familiar y trabajo, ayudas o sueldos a las madres (ser madre comporta muchos
trabajos a la vez; nani, cocinera, psicóloga,...).
140. Programas de practicas en grandes empresas (importance: 76%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 6)
Creo que es un gran problema, no tanto economico, sino tambien social, el hecho de que desde hace unos
cuanto agnos, las empresas solamente contraten en programas en practicas: estos, pagan miserias, y
desmotivan al joven trabajador: Ofrecen contratos limitados, lo cual, solo da lugar a que el trabajador este
poco ilusionado en enfrentarse a mayores retos o responsabilidades, asi como a mejorar en su trabajo, pues
ya sabe de antemano, que el contrato termina, que el salario que recibe es insuficiente y que al dia siguiente
de finalizar su contrato, habra otro estudiante reemplazandolo.
141. Ofreciendo un buen trabajo a los Licenciados españoles. (importance: 76%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 14)
Soy Licenciada en Biología, especialista en Biotecnología, mi formación académica es amplia pero sin
embargo mi experiencia profesional no lo es tanto. Las empresas piden experiencas de 3 a 5 o más años
La U.E. debe desarrollar estrategias para fomentar la creación de empleo estable y evitar la destrucción de
empleos a la que estamos siendo sometidos por la recesión económica.
143. Fomento a la inversión privada. (importance: 75%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 8)
Se debe fomentar la inversión privada creando líneas de créditos efectivas que lleguen a los que piensan
invertir en crear o mejorar sus empresas. Esto podría fomentarse a través de un sistema de avales para que
los bancos locales pierdan el miedo a prestar su dinero a estos inversionistas, y estos, en cambio, inviertan
en crear empleos y medios de producción para revertir los efectos de la recesión.
144. Nuevas tecnologias (importance: 75%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 14)
Aplicación de las nuevas tecnologias a los ambitos personales y necesidades de cada uno. En especial
modernizar las administraciones y unificar con toda europa para facilitar tramites.

145. Mejorar ciudadano y empresarios sobre medio ambiente, (importance: 75%, disagreement: 14,

se obligue a los paises a mejorar los temas relacionados a medio ambiente, tanto en la vida diaria,
como estilo de vida, uso de elementos menos contaminantes. En lo que respecta a las inversiones de
infraestructuras. descentralizar las grandes inversiones en los grandes ciudades. No deberían seguir
creciendo. La vida de la persona está bajando su calidad de vida por vivir en ciudades grandes. Muchos
recorridos, grandes atascos, poco espaciovital, poco espacio verde. Este entorno provoca en las personas
grandes dificultades para vivir saludablemente. Mucho tiempo para llegar al trabajo, mucha contaminación,
poca luz natural que sus cuerpos reciben, poco ejercicio físico, etc. La calidad e vida en la grandes ciudades,
ya no es calidad de vida. No se justifica dañar tanto el medio ambiente para que además no solo no se pueda
vivir bien, sino que además provoquen ciudadanos menos sanos.
147. Control estratégico de la economía. (importance: 75%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 13)
La economía debe ser un compendio del trabajo de todos y así sus resultados y beneficios, y no estar dirigida
por cuatro bárbaros que nos avoquen a la catástrofe. Para ello crearía una comisión que vigilara y dirigiera
los asuntos económicos europeos, nacionales y mundiales.

Necesitamos leyes que apoyen el trabajador, ya que por lo menos en España, las empresas son siempre las
vencedoras.
151. El problema es que no hay trabajo. (importance: 75%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 9)
Pues que no encuentro nada, ningún curro, y uno pues se estresa y lo mejor que hay para el estrés es viajar
pero si no trabajas pues no tienes dinero y si no tienes dinero no puedes viajar. Ser o no ser.

154. EMPLEO, SANIDAD, SERVICIOS BANCARIOS, INTERMEDIARIOS (importance: 75%, disagreement:
QUE LOS POLITICOS SE PREOCUPEN POR DESARROLLAR UNA POLITICA DE EMPLEO QUE
DEFIENDA A LOS TRABAJADORES. QUE PERSIGAN A LOS EMPRESARIOS QUE SE ENRIQUECEN SIN
LIMITE Y SIN PREOCUPARSE DE REPARTIR LAS GANANCIAS ENTRE QUIEN LAS PRODUCE, QUE
SON LOS TRABAJADORES. AL FIN Y AL CABO ESTO ES UNA RUEDA Y SI NO GANO NO GASTO Y LA
PRODUCCION SE RESIENTE. qUE LOS POLITICOS DEJEN DE PONERSE UNOS SUELDOS ABUSIVOS
SIN PREOCUPARSE DE AQUELLOS QUE LOS ELIGIERON. ES UNA VERGUENZA ENTERARSE LOS
SUELDOS QUE COBRAN LOS EURODIPUTADOS. Y MAS AHORA EN TIEMPO DE CRISIS. QUE LOS
SERVICIOS BANCARIOS SEAN MAS HUMANOS EN LOS COBROS DE LOS PRESTAMOS, CUANDOHAN
ESTADO GANANDO MILES DE MILLONES. QUE AL SR. PRESIDENTE DEL BANCO EUROPEO LE
PONGAN DE PATITAS EN LA CALLE PUES CON SU POLITICA DE MANTENER EL EUROIBOR NOS HA
ESTADO AHOGANDO EN TIEMPO DE CRISIS, PARA LUEGO BAJARLO CUENDO YA NO PODIAMOS
RESPIRAR Y A LOS UNICO QUE ENRIQUECIA ERA A LOS BANQUEROS. QUE LA SANIDAD SEA
MUCHO MEJOR Y CUBRA MAS COMETIDOS. QUE LOS INTERMEDIARIOS DESAPAREZCAN QUE
SE ENRIQUECEN A COSTA DE SUBIRNOS LOS PRECIOS A LIMITES INSOSTENIBLES. PERO CLARO
LUEGO LOS POLITICOS SE COLOCAN EN TODAS ESAS EMPRESAS QUE DEJARON QUE SE
ENRIQUECIERAN EN BASE A LOS ABUSOS COMETIDOS Y ASI PODRIAMOS SEGUIR ENUNCIADO
MUCHAS MAS COSAS QUE LOGRAN HACER UN MUNDO MAS DESHUMANIZADO Y DIFICIL DE
SOBRELLEVAR- cREO QUE HOY DIA EXISTEN EN EL MUNDO TRES COLECTIVOS QUE DIFICULTAN
UN NORMAL DESARROLLO. lOS EMPRESARIOS, LOS DIRECTIVOS Y LOS POLITICOS.
155. Medio ambiente. Empleo. Economía. Inmigración. (importance: 75%, disagreement: 27, evaluations:

Medio ambiente: Pueden tratar el tema y buscar soluciones para conseguir un desarrollo sostenoble
adecuado. Empleo: Propulsar empleo, autoempleo con subvenciones, becas para estudiantes, proyectos.
Economía: Subvenciones para el desarrollo, covertura a bancos para favorecer hipotecas y préstamos
personales a los ciudadanos. Inmigración, extranjería. Ayudas a los inmigrantes a trabajo justo condiciones
de vida adecuadas seguros sociales escolarización etc. Control de la inmigración.
156. Ecología y nuevas tecnologías (importance: 74%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 12)
Dirigirnos hacia la la eficiencia energética, la generación limpia y sostenible
157. Trabajo, estudios, tecnologia y Rusia (importance: 74%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 11)
Los trabajadores deberian tener unos sueldos más similares sin importar a que pais pertenecen. Despues de
todo tenemos la misma moneda. Por ejemplo la vida es casi igual de cara en España que en Francia pero
los sueldos son mucho mas bajos en España. Las licencituras y demas estudios deberian tener el mismo
valor en todos los estados, y deberian respetarse los sueldos equivalentes a dichos estudios. Se deberian
incentivar las nuevas tecnoligias coom internet y similares de forma generalizada. Y perseguir y sancionar el
precio abusivo las compñias que cobran precios abusivos en los paises menos desarrolados de la union. La
UE debe abrir puentes con Rusia. Creo que es la potencia que dominara el mundo en el futuro y habria que
intentar estrechar lazos con ellos. No podemos estar mas alejados de nuestros vecinos rusos que de estados
unidos. Es un gran error.
158. sostenabilidad, innovacion, subvenciones, inmigración (importance: 74%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 11)
Que en las grandes ciudades: promueven mas las bicicletas, hagan pagar los coches por circular (Congestion
Charge) La innovación es clave para nuestro futuro desarrollo. Que NO subvencionen más a la agricultura,
que haya más libre movimiento de productos y servicios no solo dentro de Europa pero fuera también.
Podrían, en vez de esto subvencionar más la educación y la investigación. Los inmigrantes hacen Europa
más rico, no más pobre: tenemos que reflejar esto en la política. Lo que diferencia Europa del resto de
Europa son sus servicios sociales: no debemos olvidar esto: una sociedad se refleja en como protege a sus
mas débiles, ni animales salvajes traten a la gente como muchas personas quisieran que hiciéramos.
159. Investigación sanitaria y de enfermedades (importance: 74%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 18)
Actualmente se estima que en España están diagnosticadas casi 3000 enfermedades raras. Esto es,
enfermedades que afectan a un número muy pequeño de gente, y que aparecen en pocos casos. Pero
cualquiera, sin saberlo, puede tener una enfermedad de ese tipo. Casi no hay investigaciones ni mejoras
hacia esa gente, porque su número es irrelevante para los gobiernos. Pero son humanos, y merecen ser
atendidos, tratados y curados, como al resto de personas.

Sin dejar de lado la protección social de los trabajadores, hay que ayudar de todas las maneras posibles
a las PYMES para que creen empleo. Y OBLIGAR A LOS BANCOS A AYUDAR A LAS FAMILIAS Y
EMPRESAS. ¿el único sistema financiero posible es el que tenemos?? No podemos depender para la
reactivación ecnómica de los recursos del estado (son finitos) y para no llegar a un endeudamiento crónico e
irreversible necesitamos mover los recursos privados... ¿es lógico que los bancos tengan los beneficios que
tienen a costa de nuestros ahorros? ¿tenemos que pagar además sus malas inversiones??? EL SISTEMA
FINANCIERO NECESITA CONTROLES EXHAUSTIVOS Y NUEVAS LEGISLACIONES QUE LIMITEN SU
AUTONOMIA.
161. Para mi lo importante es la economia de un pais, su motor. (importance: 74%, disagreement: 30,
evaluations: 6)
La sensación de inseguridad esta en aumento, creo que es una consecuencia del aumento del paro, la
cantidad de inmigración a la que no se le dan papeles para poder trabajar. Esto nos lleva a gran cantidad de
trabajos "sumergidos" o de economia sumergida. Tambien ayuda el sistema de ayudas a los desempleados,
ya que hoy en dia que un trabajo es dificil de encontrar mucha gente prefiere trabajar sin contratos por un
sueldo bajo, y seguir cobrando el paro. Esto lleva a mas gente al paro, es una rueda de la cual nos sera difil
salir. Los politicos creo que no estan a la altura, no por que no lo intenten, pero las medidas contra la crisis
que estan proponiendo, no estan haciendo el efecto esperado. En España, el miedo de los politicos es que
las empresas de automocion se vayan fuera de nuestras fronteras, y prefieren invertir cantidades indecentes
de dinero en retener a estas empresas, que a promover a esmpresas Españolas que su fuerte sea el I+D,
que eso si crea puestos de trabajo, pero claro es una inersión a largo plazo, y los politicos no piensan en

evaluations: 10)
Si la UE somos todos y en ella debemos ser todos iguales no es justo que en países como Alemania o los
países escandinavos los estudiantes reciban dinero mientras estudian (a modo de créditos que después
devuelven sin intereses en su vida laboral) y aquí no podamos disponer de este privilegio. Sería un gran
paso para potenciar la independencia económica de los estudiantes durante su época de estudio y evitar la
permanencia en casa de los padres hasta avanzada edad.

Muchos estudiantes nos planteamos salir de nuestro país o de la unión para encontrar mejores oportunidades
en Estados Unidos o Asia debido a los bajos suelos y malas condiciones laborales.. No queremos investigar
en condiciones precarias, así que queremos que los estados miembros apuesten por la ciencia de manera
creible, no solo con palabras sino con hechos consumados.
165. Derecho a todos los niños de 0 a 3 cuidados profesionales (importance: 73%, disagreement: 19,

Independientemente de la decisión de cada hogar sobre la asistencia de los menores de 0 a 3 años se deben
asegurar plazas o cuidados profesionales. La imparable incorporación de las mujeres a la vida laboral y
pública, el cambio de las estructuras familiares y el envejecimiento de la sociedad auropea se beneficiaría
enormemente asegurando a la infancia este derecho.

Todo es objeto de "movida" por lo mejor: la tecnología, las fronteras, los negocios, las fuentes de energía,
las mentalidades. Todo, con la excepción del sistema del "mercado abierto" que tiene lugar de panacea
infalible -- aunque se ve ya que problemas gravísimos como el PARO, la RECESIÓN, la INSEGURIDAD
SOCIAL son debidos al turbocapitalismo que crece sin frenes, y a costa de los ciudadanos mismos. Nosotros
los ciudadanos-víctimas (tarde o temprano) eso lo sabemos bien, y querríamos la regulación del orden
económico y su abertura a nuevas ideas. ?Cuándo va a escuharnos y la UE?

167. Movilidad profesional y estudiantil. (importance: 73%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 8)
Yo soy estudiante, y por tanto para mi lo más importante hoy en día es la posibilidad de trabajar en el
futuro en toda la UE o de mejorar mis estudios en otro país. El tema de Bolonia está siendo especialmente
controvertido en España, yo no me opongo en principio, por que me parece una forma correcta de enfrentar
el cambio lógico que debe sufrir la educación, ahora, creo que se debería tener cuidado, ya que hay ciertos
colectivos profesionales a los que este cambio no favorece y que le pueden poner varias zancadillas. Sobre
todo, y a pesar de la variedad de sistemas de educación que hay en Europa, no creo que el cambio que se
requiera sea tan radical, la realidad es que hoy en día la movilidad profesional es un hecho, al fin y al cabo,
cada universidad tiene su prestigio, y a pesar de que el título no sea "válido" en toda la UE, las empresas
PRIVADAS que te quieran contratar lo haran igual, si consideran que eres válido y que por tu título tienes los
conocimientos necesarios.

Pronto me licenciare y el panorama que se presenta a los jovenes en concreto resulta tenebroso, en España
la búsqueda de empleo para un recien licenciado es una quimera, las perspectivas que ofrece esta crisis
son desalentadoras para un futuro cercano. Al margen de mi situacion personal, desearía que esta crisis
sirva para establecer los cimientos de un capitalismo mas social (quiero ser un ciudadano y no solo un
consumidor), con un mayor control de las actividades de las grandes corporaciones. En clave internacional,
se debería reconsiderar la relación de la UE con el Tercer Mundo, si bien la UE es la potencia mundial que
mas contribuye al desarrollo de los mas desfavorecidos, la acción debe ir más allá de la limosna y atacar
los problemas desde la raiz, fomentando el desarrollo de los derechos humanos y economías más estables,
de nuevo pido un capitalismo mas social del que se beneficie toda la humanidad. El cambio climatico
amenaza nuestro planeta en un futuro no muy lejano, los costes de afrontar el cambio de sistema energetico
pueden ser irrisorios en comparacion con los provocados por las migraciones, desastres, enfermedades,...
causadas por este fenomeno, por otra parte la dependencia de recursos de la UE con respecto a países sin
fiabilidad puede limitar nuestro papel como potencia. Por ultimo, un sistema universitario que garantize la
plena movilidad de estudiantes y que premie a los mejores, no a los mas ricos. QUIERO INTEGRACION

el ciudadano de pie q son altamente morosos, como abrir una cuenta de banco, una cita con el medico, la
licencia de conducir , abrir un negocio Los estados unidos y los paises asiaticos ofrecen ventajas competitivas
para la exportacion de productos comparado con los paises europeos un microempresario se ve forzado

Europea como un único país de estados, de regiones y de multiculturalidad que es lo que nos enriquece.
Soy canario, español, europeo y ciudadano del mundo. He estudiado en Karlsruhe (Alemania) y valoro y

211. Medio Ambiente y recursos (agua y energía) (importance: 91%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
Europa ha de trabajar contra el cambio climático, el deshielo del polo norte, el cambio en la corriente del
golfo. Ahora los combustibles han bajado como consecuencia del decrecimiento económico pero en cuanto
haya una recuperación económica volverán a subir ¿qué haremos con nuestras convalecientes economías
si empieza a haber inviernos más fríos y el combustible extrajero es cada vez más caro?. Quizás para
entonces ya no sea posible invertir en el desarrollo de las Energías Renovables. Hay que hacer un esfuerzo
ahora lo más rápido e intenso posible. Me preocupa que, como consecuencia de la crisis, se abandonen las
inversiones en Medio Ambiente ya que los beneficios no son tan inmediatos como una subvención a una
fábrica de coches pero mucho más necesarios. Probablemente la políticas educativas e informativas han de
incidir en estos aspectos para que los ciudadanos valoren correctamente estas inversiones. Por encima de
todo esto me preocupa que se tome el camino de la energía nuclear, un camino sin retorno que puede poner
en peligro a generaciones futuras. Otros temas que me parcen importantes son la contaminación de las
aguas y la ausencia de una legislación comunitaria que prohiba los alimentos transgénicos. Espero que entre
todos sepamos tomar las decisiones correctas. Un saludo.

Europa tiene una gran conciencia de respeto medioambiental. Pero a la hora de poner en practica de
forma individua las conductas coherentes con este respeto los ciudadanos no conocemos cómo actuar
convenientemente o somos reticentes a modificar nuestra forma de vida habitual. Hay que actuar de forma
más contundente para que estas conductas cambien.
215. Medioambiente y salud (importance: 87%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 12)
- Invertir en el medioambiente, en la energía limpia proveniente de fuentes renovables (más incentivos
a las familias, empresas, etc.), en la pequeña agricultura que respeta la naturaleza y los recursos
(tradicional-biológica) es invertir en la salud de los seres humanos y en la supervivencia del planeta, al que
pertenecemos. Eso es lo que me espero que haga la UE, con seriedad, sin concesiones a las corporaciones
y a entes jurídicos de cualquier tipo. - Me preocupa la difusión de los Organismos Genéticamente Modificados
y el apoyo del gobierno español a los mismos. Creo que la UE debería establecer una comisión para estudiar
su impacto en la salud del ambiente y de los seres humanos e instar a los gobiernos que han dicho "si" a
los OGM a organizar un referendum. Creo sinceramente que la mayoría de los europeos, sobre todo si son
personas informadas, prefieren no consumir OGM. Lo mínimo que la UE debería imponer, para tutelar el
derecho de las personas a saber lo que consumen, es un etiquetado claro y preciso de los productos OGM...
Yo de la UE me espero el máximo...

La proteccion del medio ambiente puede suponer un problema para la economia. Un problema a corto plazo y

cumplir ordenanzas medioambientales, pero alguien ha de ser el primero en dar el paso para que el resto del
mundo nos siga. Debemos proteger espacios naturales y especies en peligro. Llevamos miles de años con

Creo en la protección del medio ambiene como un bien necesario pero también como una oportunidad

mayor control de las empresas que vierten sus vertidos ( valga la redundancia) a los rios, fuente de vida para

222. Ecología (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
Deberían haber muchos inspectores, vigilando el tema del medio ambiente (no digo que no los haya), pero,
por poner un ejemplo: Delante de mi casa hay una refinería, que no para de tirar humo (eso es normal), pero
es que aprovechan cuando no hace sol para tirar el doble de contaminación. Quizá esté equivocado, pero,
puedo decirle que en la Comunidad Valenciana (España) no se respeta nada, NADA. Te quitan los parques
para hacer parkings, siguen construyendo (o lo que es peor, dejando obras a medias, convirtiendose eso en
un agujero de porquería). Los políticos de esta comunidad autónoma son incapaces de entenderse. Y parece
que eso no importa a nadie, ya que hablando de la crisis o el paro, desvían rápidamente la atención. Si las
autonomías recibieran un toque de atención directo de la UE, se tomarían su trabajo mas en serio, ya que
son siempre los mismos caciques, que acaban haciendo lo que les da la gana. Un saludo.
223. Política de medio ambiente y energías. (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 10)
Hace tiempo que muchos países han decidido que el cúlpable de la contaminación es el ciudadano,
penalizando el uso del vehículo privado en exceso, pero sin aplicar una política medio ambiental real. La
realidad es que el transporte (incluyéndo aviación y transporte público) supone tan solo un 40% de las
emisiones, mientras que la generación de energía supone bastante más. Por ello no tiene ninguna lógica
que a mi me cueste más dinero la gasolina, o el coche, y por contra a Endesa o a Eon les salga "gratis"
construir nuevas centrales térmicas o de ciclo combinado, que contaminan muchísimo y son manifiestamente
ineficaces. Por ello se debe hacer una apuesta real por las energías renovables, por el desarrollo de nuevas
fuentes como la fusión nuclear, y penalizar lo que de verdad es más contaminante, que curiosamente es más
sencillo, y dejar de cargar al ciudadano de a pie con impuestos estúpidos. Lo único que pido en este aspecto
es consecuencia de las decisiones, si a mi se me aplica un recargo en la gasolina, que se lo apliquen igual a
la eléctrica de turno, y si a mi se me rebaja el coche si este contamina menos, que se haga lo mismo cuando
la compañía construya una nueva central. El problema viene cuando los gobiernos incompetentes ven que se
recauda mucho más con el ciudadano de a pie que con las grandes compañías. ¿Quien mejor que la unión
para conseguir un entendimiento en este aspecto y una mejora de la situación?
224. Cambio climático (importance: 84%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
Se pueden argumentar muchas coas científicamente, pero tampoco hace falta ser científico para darse
cuenta de la mentira. Es muy evidente. Desde la edad media se vienen observando las manchas solares,
que reflejan la actividad solar. Durante el optimo del medievo, se concentraron la mayor cantidad de
manchas solares registradas desde entonces. Durante la pequeña edad de hielo se contabilizaron la menor
cantidad de manchas solares registradas desde que se mide este parámetro. Actualmente nos encontramos
en unos ciclos solares de alta actividad. Es lógico pensar que el planeta ha de calentarse, como lo han
hecho mercurio, venus, marte... Y dudo mucho que estos planetas se calienten debido a que enciendo el
motor de mi coche o me como un helado producido en una fábrica sin paneles solares. Bien es cierto que
hay que tratar siempre de buscar alternativas, el petroleo durará mucho tiempo, pero no será eterno. Pero
subvencionar energías que no son eficientes supondrá que todos pagaremos el pato en muchos aspectos.
Espero que se reconozca Kyoto como la mayor mentira jamás contada. Porque no es una equivocación,
sino una mentira. Solo vuelvan a ver el documental de Al Gore y cuenten las veces que ese señor usa las
palabras "mi" "me" "yo",... Evidentemente, todo esto tieneuna finalidad, y no es nada alagüeña.

Probablemente, en generar en torno a mi unas condiciones de vida suficientemente dignas. Al fin y al cabo,
creo que eso es siempre lo que los ciudadanos esperan de sus gobiernos. ¿Por qué no debería esperar yo lo
mismo de la Unión Europea? Siempre he sido bastante europeista, pero estoy algo desencantado. No se de
qué me sirve ser ciudadano de la Unión, si mi ciudadanía está desprovista de derechos. La Unión Europea no
se ha preocupado, hasta ahora, en absoluto, en garantizar a sus ciudadanos los derechos sociales, a pesar
de que ha sido la tradición política europea la que siempre ha hecho más incapié en ellos. Considero esto
un grave error. Respecto a los derechos civiles y políticos, creo que se ha hecho algo mejor, pero que faltan
algunos pasos por dar. Por más que se reconozcan ciertos derechos, mientras no haya un vínculo sólido y
real entre las instituciones europeas y sus ciudadanos, poco podremos sentirnos identificados con la Unión.
Y sobre todo, poco seremos capaces de poner a la Unión al servicio de nuestros intereses como ciudadanos.
Por último, considero positivo el compromiso de Europa con los derechos humanos y el medioambiente.
No creo que estos dos temas sean mera retórica; al contrario, una cosa y la otra son básicas, elementales
para nuestra dignidad personal. Tal vez el compromiso de la Unión con estos valores debiera ser más sólido.

Los profesores, maestros y educadores son, en España buenos profesionales. No obstante carecen de
recursos, en mi opinión, debido a la errónea política del equilibrio presupuestario y el déficit cero anual. Esto
provoca menor gasto público a costa del nivel de atención del estudiante. El endeudamiento (ya sea privado
o público) no es pernicioso por definición. Existen ratios de endeudamiento aceptables que permitirían
incrementar el nivel de atención al estudiante, sin que el gasto público y el endeudamiento se disparasen. Por
otra parte, como problema local en España, no puede ser que la educación esté sujeta a los vaivenes de las
urnas: las fuerzas políticas han de conseguir un consenso en materia de educación.

Hay demasiados sistemas educativos. Bolonia puede ser una buena solución para crear un marco común
eeducación universitaria y superior. Espero que ese espíritu, si bolonia se implanta de la manera adecuada
y en los plazos razonables, se transmita hacia niveles inferiores de la educación, y que todo ello signifique
un salto cualitativo para todos los sistemas de enseñanza. De media, la poblaón gana 3 puntos de cociente
de inteligencia anualmente. Apoyemos y confiemos en este potencial apoyando a nuestros estudiantes más
jovenes para que puedan recibir una educación de acuerdo a sus capacidades y necesidades, tratando de
construir un futuro mejor invirtiendo en ese futuro, nuestros jovenes.
Creo que el apoyo económico que reciben los estudiantes, por lo menos en mi país, no es ni mucho menos
suficiente. Asimismo, las infraestructuras de tanto universidades como institutos y colegios no están del todo
orientadas a la motivación del alumnado hacia los estudios. Por lo que creo que grandes inversiones en
campos como puede ser gasto en armamento militar o similares reciben demasiados medios. ¿No es más
importante educar a las nuevas generaciones para no tener que usar jamás las armas, fomentar el estudio y
la formación, así como la colaboración entre todos ? Por esto quiero decir,¿no sería más productiva a largo
plazo la inversión de fondos en la educación, en todos sus campos, para crear un interés general por el
aprendizaje, y una correcta financiación de los estudios, poniendo a disposición becas, etc ? Un saludo

es necesario invertir más en educación. Buena parte de las Universidades europeas no son copetitivas y el
Plan Bolonia no se conoce los suficiente por ello ha generado un gran rechazo en la población. Erasmus sin
embargo ha sido uno de los grandes éxitos de la UE.
Para mi, es importante como afecta el desarrollo de la UE con respecto a los estudios universitarios.
Sobretodo, considero muy importante las relaciones entre paises de la UE y las becas que se ofrecen en las
distintas universidades.

Me gustaría que la UE centrase sus esfuerzos en la plena integración de los estados miembros que
actualmente la componen, sin dejar de lado la interacción con otros estados con los que nuestra unión tiene
relaciones especiales. Aunque en la actualidad esto supone uno de los principales ejes de actuación de
la unión, me gustaría que se potenciase, pues de ello depende nuestro futuro en los tiempos venideros...
Por otro lado, pienso que es necesaria una profunda revisión del sistema educativo europeo, donde es
fundamental un armonización dentro de los planes de estudios de los distintos estados miembros. Aunque
es cierto que se están haciendo esfuerzos en este sentido, considero que este asunto debería situarse en
el centro del debate parlamentario europeo ; en la medida en que es el futuro de la unión el que está en
juego... Finalmente, pienso que debería buscarse a su vez una integración laboral en el marco europeo, cuya
base podría ser la del programa "Erasmus", en mi opinión, tremendamente eficaz. Así como la movilidad de
estudiantes es un aspecto fundamental en su formación -potencia el aprendizaje de idiomas, mezcla entre
culturas, etc. - , también debería tratar de potenciarse la movilidad entre trabajadores de distintos estados
miembros (una posible solución podría ser apoyar con becas a aquellos trabajadores que dediciesen cambiar

294. Defensa de una universidad publica de calidad (importance: 83%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 10)
Esta bien buscar un marco universitario común pero no servirá de nada para fomentar la movilidad si las
becas no permiten que absolutamente todos, y no solo los que disfrutan de cierta cobertura económica,
puedan permitirse pasar una parte de sus estudios en otro país. Debe buscarse, en este sentido, la
implicación de todas las administraciones públicas y de patronatos privados que permitan aumentar estas
ayudas. Por otra parte, cualquier reforma y plan universitario debe siempre estar centrado, y la Unión
Europea debe vigilar de manera efectiva para que ello se cumpla en todos los Estados, en la calidad de la
Universidad pública que permite el acceso a todos sin distinción en igualdad de oportunidades. Los centros
públicos deben recibir la financiación suficiente no solo para ser buenos centros sino para ser, como lo son
ahora, centros de referencia. Por ello deben también incrementarse las ayudas y la financiación económica a
la investigación y mejorar las condiciones de las personas que se dedican a ésta. Debe hacerse a los Estados
miembros adquirir compromisis con objetivos determinados y concretos en este sentido y sancionarlos si no
cumplen con ellos. La investigación es la mejor inversión de futuro que puede hacer la humanidad. Asimismo
ésta no debe entenderse unicamente científico-tecnológica, las humanidade y las ciencias sociales merecen

296. La calidad de la educación española (importance: 82%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 14)
La calidad de los estudios, almenos en lo que se refiere a educación pública, deja mucho que desear en
España. En el colegio el nivel es demasiado bajo. Los maestros no enseñan a aprender; tan solo se
hacen exámenes de los de "estudiar un día antes", con lo que se sale del colegio sin saber estudiar. Hay
mucha diferencia entre muchas escuelas públicas y privadas en lo que se refiere al nivel impartido. Ya en el
instituto, aprendes a que lo único que interesa son las notas. No hay motivación en el aprendizaje. Además,
se depende de un examen (selectividad) diferente en cada comunidad autónoma, de manera que el sitema
es claramente injusto. Referente a la universidad, gran parte de profesores (en mí caso, en la facultad de
económicas de la UB) no se esfuerzan en el aprendizaje de los alumnos, con lo que un gran número de
estudiantes dependen de las academias, y aún más estudiantes dependen de las fotocopias de los apuntes
de academia. Y por último, quiero añadir que la visión el futuro laboral entre los estudiantes universitarios es
bastante pesimista. Gran parte estudia una carrera porque no se quiere poner a trabajar, sin saber qué está
estudiando realmente. Otros tienen más suerte y lo tienen claro, aunque al acabar suele ser bastante difícil
colocarse según en qué carreras. Muchos nos encontramos con que si hubiéramos estudiado un módulo o
algo "más sencillo", quizás estaríamos ya trabajando y con mejores remuneraciones. Es indign

La mayoria de los problemas a los que se enfrenta Europa ahora son frutos de un nacionalismo casi terco

o no cierta legislacion. La falta de transparencia provoca siempre especulaciones y quita la confianza hacia
la UE.Si los estados tienen intereses que consideran apropiado defender a todo coste que lo hagan, pero
admitiendolo ante el publico! Consta tambien que detras de esos intereses estatales como si se olvidaran
los ciudadanos jovenes. Europa tiene un problema muy grave en lo que se refiere a la educacion juvenil,
somos crueles, intolerantes, carentes de respeto. Sabemos una gran base de datos, pero no conseguimos
interpretarlos, nos dejamos ser manipulados y llevados por la corriente, carecemos de capacidad analitica.

poco a poco de la crisis en la que nos encontramos y la vorágine de aumento del desempleo en toda la
UE. Entre ellas una regulación a nivel general del tema del empleo para poder facilitar la movilidad de los
profesionales que, como yo, tendríamos que desempeñar nuestra labor sin mayor problema en cualquier país
de la UE y una mejor regulación de la jornada laboral que mejore la productividad de algunos países que
como España es demasiado baja. En temas de Educación, es alarmante el incremento del fracaso escolar.
Así como a través del Plan de Bolonia se aplicará un modelo común(en mi opinión imperfecto, polémico y al
que le ha faltado consenso en su aprobación) debería empezar a plantearse la misma idea al resto de niveles
escolares. A nivel Económico, si bien es cierto que, se están realizando continuas reuniones para aplicar
medidas que nos saquen de la crisis económica actual, estas medidas son insuficientes y no se refuerzan

Después de la universidad, el mundo laboral no está capacitado para albergar a tantos titulados. El interés
por conseguir una educación superior se pierde y conlleva un desinterés general por la educación, puesto
que no se considera un medio para garantizar un puesto de trabajo. Los titulados superiores se ven obligados
a aceptar puestos de trabajo de categorías muy inferiores su nivel educativo y los que no tienen estudios
encuentran sin trabajo. La calidad profesional disminuye, puesto que las empresas no pagan al trabajador
en función a su nivel y el trabajador no ve necesario una implicación mayor en sus funciones. Mientras,
aquellos que no tienen trabajo y que sí podrían valorar este, acorde a su nivel, ven cómo los que lo ocupan
no se preocupan por éste y lo menosprecian. La sensación general de la población es de inconformidad
y de rechazo a las empresas por la poca valoración que hacen del trabajador. No se puede conseguir un
desarrollo social y laboral paralelo si los principales protagonistas no están implicados. La cuestión no sólo es
laboral, sino que se debe empezar a trabajar desde la educación. Gracias.

La educación superior universitaria, desde el punto de vista docente, representa poco atractivo para los
"docentes", que tienen que alternar con el ejercicio profesional compartido, Arquitectos, Ingenieros, etc. La
eurovisión del tercer mundo, aunque lejos; Africa, Centro america, Ásia, puedan parecernos lejanos, produce

Yo estudio Diseño de Moda por las mañanas de 10:00 hasta 13:00, y luego despues trabajo en una oficina

para apoyar los estudiantes, que desafortunadamente tienen que trabajar para poder pagar sus estudios y
sus casas. Me habia imaginado algo por ejemplo si un alumno puede demonstrar a su empresa q estudia, la
empresa estaria obligada a dejarle hacer media jornada, pero pagando salario completo. Yo lo digo porque
es muy dificil compaginar estudio y trabajo y es algo que requiere mucha forza de voluntad y ni todos los
estudiantes tienen el apoyo de sus familias para custear sus estudios.

tantos billones de personas muriendose de hambre y desesperacion porque no tienen un trabajo para sacar
adelante a sus familias??? Mas respeto por favor! Todos tenemos derechos en este mundo da igual del lugar

Creo que la UE debe potenciar la unificación de las políticas educativas y sanitarias. Ya se está haciendo un
gran esfuerzo con la aplicación del EEES (Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior) pero creo que se debería
profundizar más aún. Lo mismo con la sanidad. Debemos hacer hincapié en la cohesión entre los ciudadanos
de los distintos estados. La UE debería estar más presente en la vida pública y eleverar su apuesta de unión,
con mayor publicidad y más democracia.
341. Universidades (importance: 75%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 14)
Seguramente este tema ya también es muy tocado actualmente, con el novedoso Plan Bolonia. Yo en
realidad, no me puedo llegar a quejar, ya que, por suerte, no me toca. Pero el hecho de que futuras
generaciones les afecte, repercutirá a todos los países negativamente, ya que no todas las familias pueden
tener el privilegio de poder sostener a su hijo estudiando en la universidad sin que este esté trabajando. Es
por eso, que a estos estudiantes se les debería de facilitar ayudas, tanto económicas como físicas (v. g., un
piso de alquiler bajo si no residen en la misma localidad o títulos de transporte gratuítos) tal y como hacen
algunos países escandinavos, para que ellos no tengan que ir por plena obligación, y porque no les queda
más remedio, a ir a una universidad a distancia, que además, es bastante más cara que una universidad
pública subvencionada por el Estado.
342. la educación, la sanidad y la justicia (importance: 74%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 13)
Soy profesora de secundaria y creo que al igual que se ha diseñado el Plan Bolonia, debería implementarse
un plan de armonización curricular para la enseñanza secundaria, que pudiese ayudar a elevar el nivel de
exigencia que ha descendido notoriamente en mi país. Con respecto a la justicia, sería importante poder
recurrir a las instancias comunitarias con mayor accesibilidad y, con respecto a la sanidad, estoy bastante
satisfecha con la de mi país.

344. Estudios Universitarios (importance: 74%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 12)
La UE debería esforzarse en mejorar el plan Bolonia para adaptarlo de forma consensuada con los alumnos,
y no como actualmente que se está haciendo contra su voluntad.
345. Educación y Universidad (importance: 74%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 11)
De la UE nacen reformas como la Declaración de Bolonia, que afecta directamente a la estructura de las
universidades y los estudios superiores. En este caso concreto, el Proceso de Bolonia ha carecido desde
el principio de transparencia y dialogo con los alumnos y demás entidades representativas del alumnado
universitario. Y este sería un buen punto a tratar en un futuro inmediato. Por otro lado, las becas Erasmus,
Seneca y otras becas de intercambio financiadas y coordinadas por la UE son de gran importancia en la
formación académica de los universitarios y deberian ser potenciadas aun más, para que muchos más
estudiantes tengamos acceso a ellas.
346. Más fondos invertidos en becas y ayudas a estudiantes (importance: 74%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 10)
Si la UE somos todos y en ella debemos ser todos iguales no es justo que en países como Alemania o los
países escandinavos los estudiantes reciban dinero mientras estudian (a modo de créditos que después
devuelven sin intereses en su vida laboral) y aquí no podamos disponer de este privilegio. Sería un gran
paso para potenciar la independencia económica de los estudiantes durante su época de estudio y evitar la
permanencia en casa de los padres hasta avanzada edad.
347. Universidad, Movilidad, Sanidad... (importance: 73%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 13)
Es necesario que la Universidad sea a escala europea. Actualmente la aplicación del Plan Bolonia es positiva
y esperemos que en una década sea esa realidad que se requiere. Eliminar fronteras en todos los ámbitos:
educativos, sanitarios, seguridad social, mercado de trabajo. Potenciar la adquisición de competencias por
parte de la Unión Europea en ámbitos como el mercado de trabajo. Tenemos que pensar con conciencia
europea: España, Portugal, Francia, Reino Unido, Alemania, Italia, etc. somos juntos más, que por separado.
Hay que competir económicamente con nuestros dos grandes rivales: Estados Unidos y Asia, para ello
tenemos que funcionar sinérgicamente y fortalecer el poder político de la Unión Europea.
348. educacion primaria (importance: 73%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 15)
esto no me toca, pero algun dia tendre hijos. obliguen por favor a que en españa haya una buena educacion
de base, sobre todo en idiomas. me parece patetico que se implanten asignaturas como " educacion por la
ciudadania" quitandole horas a ingle o matematicas, asignaturas clave, una para el futuro laboral del niño/a,
y la otra porque si. se deberia ayudar con fondos europeos a todas las escuelas, apostando por las nuevas
tecnolgias y los nuevos medios de comnicacion, como ordenadores en todsa las aulas y pupitres de los
escolares, asi como una comunicacion extra escolar entre el profesor (tutor) y sus alumnos a traves de msn o
facebook, etc.
349. In jobs, education and ERASMUS programmes. (importance: 73%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 11)
I'd like to see the EU concentrate more on job creation (especially in the renewable energy sector that is one
of the most important things to me). I'd also like to see more money/reform in terms of education. I'd also
like to see the EU become a place where all civil rights are met, and not just a few (including civil unions/gay
marriage). We no longer live in the dark ages, we can't allow member nations to persecute these people. It's
probably a good idea to include these civil rights in education. People apparently can learn to accept people
be nature. They either have to be taught to be open-minded or they have to do some kind of programme like
ERASMUS so that they can experience/live the experience themselves.
350. Movilidad profesional y estudiantil. (importance: 73%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 8)
Yo soy estudiante, y por tanto para mi lo más importante hoy en día es la posibilidad de trabajar en el
futuro en toda la UE o de mejorar mis estudios en otro país. El tema de Bolonia está siendo especialmente
controvertido en España, yo no me opongo en principio, por que me parece una forma correcta de enfrentar
el cambio lógico que debe sufrir la educación, ahora, creo que se debería tener cuidado, ya que hay ciertos
colectivos profesionales a los que este cambio no favorece y que le pueden poner varias zancadillas. Sobre
todo, y a pesar de la variedad de sistemas de educación que hay en Europa, no creo que el cambio que se
requiera sea tan radical, la realidad es que hoy en día la movilidad profesional es un hecho, al fin y al cabo,
cada universidad tiene su prestigio, y a pesar de que el título no sea "válido" en toda la UE, las empresas
PRIVADAS que te quieran contratar lo haran igual, si consideran que eres válido y que por tu título tienes los
conocimientos necesarios.

que reconozca, verdaderamente, la diversidad cultural y lingüística europea, potencie una educación
integradora y no discrimine al área de las humanidades por considerarlas no rentables. La educación tiene
que estar al servicio de la sociedad, pero ésta es mucho más que la empresa privada. No me gusta que la
empresa privada o la banca nos diga qué debemos estudiar o hacia donde debemos orientar nuestro futuro
profesional...

Que validaran o homologaran los estudios en contacto directo con los paises de cada ciudadano y
no como ahora que se debe practicamente estudiar la carrera completa, y dar mas oportunidades a
tantos profesionales entre los que me incluyo que terminamos trabajando en fabricas por no darnos las
oportunidades de acuerdo a nuestro nivel de educacion y estudios por ser llamados putos inmigrantes (
perdon por la palabara ) pero es asi, entender que estamos capacitados para administrar y dirijir grandes
empresas y no que somos solo una fuerza trabajadora sin ideas y solo esta para obedecer deben entender
que hay gente que debe ocupar jefaturas y no pensar que esos puestos son exclusivamente para los
europeos por que eso dejaria de manifiesto la incompetencia e ineficacia de la gente a cargo de administrar
los diferentes estamentos, deben ser capaces de reconocer de que cada cosa es para la gente capacitada
y no para sus amigotes que lo unico que consiguen es hacer una mala gestión que a la postre llevara a las

Creo que debemos ir en el camino hacia una mayor y más fácil accesibilidad universitaria sin importar donde
hemos estudiado. Me encantaría que mis hijos vivieran en una Europa en la que estudien en España (el
High School) pero pueden aplicar a cualquier universidad europea como europeos, no como extranjeros (la
selectividad -para el acceso a las universidades públicas- debería ser a nivel europeo)
357. Estudios, movilidad de personas dentro de la unión (importance: 72%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 10)
Por una parte, pienso que ya que se nos va a aplicar a partir del año próximo el Plan de Estudios Boloña,
que según tengo entendido pretende unificar los estudios universitarios en toda Europa, uno de los deberes
del gobierno debe ser informarnos detallada y comprensiblemente de todas sus características, ya que hasta
ahora opino que quedan muchas dudas. (Convalidaciones de títulos, másters, opositar con diplomaturas...)
Por otra parte, afecta a los jovenes, viajar por Europa, así como estudiar en otros países de la unión. Debería
ser más fácil (económicamente sobre todo), también, ya que se unifica´n los títulos, poder estudiar más
asignaturas fuera, de las que se pueden actualmente haciendo un erasmus, con el fin de no perder un curso,
o la mitad. También hoteles para jóvenes, hostales, pensiones... <TENER LA POSIBILIDAD DE CONOCER

que estamos hablando de paises desarrollados con todos los recursos y la verdad es que hay casos
pateticos, deberian partir por informarse como esta compuesta sudamerica por que la mayoria piensa que es
un solo pais o es ecuador y deberian entender que hay diferentes culturas y nacionalidades y que todos no
somos iguales como en europa. y educar, que la gente no les viene a robar el trabajo todo lo contrario viene
a engrandecer su pais de la cual nosotros somos tan o mas participes del desarrolo del mismo y no mirar en
menos la educacion de nuestros paises por que a veces podemos ser inmensamente superiores y eso que
no tenemos todos los recursos como aca y no sean tan discriminadores ya que en muchos casos somos mas
inteligentes y dejen de mirarnos como tontitos por que no lo somos y entender que son unos privilegiados de
lo que tienen ya que si nosotros tuvieramos todas las oportunidades que genera la union europea a nivel de
capacitacion seriamos espectaculares, decir que esto es maravilloso y ojala todo el mundo pudiera vivir como
se vive en europa que tiene tantos beneficos para las familias en cuanto a subsidios de trabajos y estudios y

La normalización de los planes de estudios, especialmente las enseñanzas universitarias y de lenguas
extranjeras con el Plan Bolonia y el Marco de Referencia europeo respectivamente. En Economía por la
concrección de cuotas de producción que determinan el aumento de precio y el cambio de producción en
algunas regiones. Además de la deslocalización y externalización de la producción industrial, que aumenta el
número de desempleados y reduce considerablemente el consumo.
366. educacion universitaria (importance: 70%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 14)
el plan bolonia me parece un error, a no ser que la UE solo gobierne para aquellos que pertenecen a la
llamada clase alta. las carreras universitarias nunca deberian reducir sus años de estudios, sino al contrario,
deberian aumentarse para asi salir mejor preparados cada uno en nuestros campos. el que historia por
ejemplo se reduzca a 4 años es una absurdez, el alumno de bolonia sabrá menos historia que el de los
planes anteriores. ademas el hecho de que los estados no de ayudas para los post-grados o los masters o el
introducir la banca privada en una institucion publica..., acaso la UE es una macro empresa?

bombas contra juzgados, ayuntamientos, sedes europeas... como cosecha de todo lo que llevan sembrado.
La educación actual no se merece ni el nombre que lleva. Replanteense la legislación, cargada de falsas
moralidades que solo favorecen al que se debería detener. No silencien a sus votantes a golpe de perros

caso, no hay ninguna voz crítica desde el ámbito político. Ej.: Urbanización masiva en lugares protegidos,
corrupción en los ayuntamientos, salarios muy bajos, incapacidad de los jóvenes para acceder a la vivienda,
protección de las profesiones del sector primario, etc.

Favoritismos y corrupcion de la clase politica, tanto en mi pais como en la propia UE, Lobbies, poder politico,
interes economicos por encima de los democraticos... etc..
391. Derechos y libertades (importance: 82%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 14)
La UE debería de convertirse en garantía y salvaguarda de los derechos de sus habitantes, asi como apoyar
el cumplimiento de los derechos humanos en aquellos países que tuvieran trato con ella, o con sus miembros.

393. Lucha contra la corrupción (importance: 81%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 21)
Se debe luchar contra la malversación de fondos públicos y el tráfico de influencias: - Estableciendo un
decálogo europeo de medidas sobre transparencia democrática - Legislando para que los lobbies de
empresas no puedan orientar las políticas en los países miembros. - Reforzando la separación de poderes
(ejecutivo, legislativo, judicial). - Reforzando la autonomía e imparcialidad de los medios de comunicación
públicos. - Promoviendo medidas de transparencia en la financiación de los partidos políticos, y la declaración
pública del patrimonio personal de los representantes políticos. - Fomentando la consulta popular mediante
tecnologías 2.0.

395. La vivienda como derecho obligatorio para todo europeo (importance: 80%, disagreement: 21,

Todo europeo deberia de tener el derecho a acceder a una casa proporcionada por el estado (evidentemente
con un coste) de la cual ninguna empresa haya podido especular con ella de tal forma que se ha ido viendo
en los ultimos 50 años. Con esto no quiero decir que se elimine la industria de la construccion solo que
ayudemos a los jovenes y a todo aquel con un bajo poder adquisitivo pueda independizarse lo antes posible
de sus familiares y no pasar una vida entera pagando su hipoteca asi conseguiriamos que los europeos se
encuentren mas relajados y motivados a emprender nuevos proyectos tales como su propio negocio.

- En Italia, donde vivo, la corrupción está en todas partes, empezando por el Gobierno. La libertad de

discriminación a personas no europeas es siempre mayor. El razismo está aumentando gracias también a la

Telecomunicaciones (fijo, movil, internet), lineas aereas (indefesión del pasajero ante las lineas aereas),
bancos, seguros, organismos públicos, etc. Basicamente, que sea igual de dificil o facil inscribirse para un
servicio como para darse de baja. Que sea posible reclamar y que te respondan en un plazo normal (maximo
1 semana). Que los precios sean transparentes (p.ej. precios con IVA y todos los gastos incluidos, no que
aparezcan despues).
402. La corrupción del Poder (importance: 79%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 22)
El Poder genera todo tipo de intereses y los políticos son carne fresca para la corrupción. Bien el político
íntegro al cual se le ofrece un beneficio y algún día cae en la tentación. Bien el que se convierte en político
porque sabe que el Poder conlleva beneficios y se quiere aprovechar de ellos. Cuando hablo de político, no
hablo solo del Presidente de la Comisión Europea, sino de cada uno de sus becarios que le leen y resumen
estos mensajes y le preparan sus discursos. Aquel que está cerca del Poder se siente tentado alguna
vez. No sé la respuesta a este problema, pero sí sé que es un problema. De la corrupción depende que se
construya en contra de la población en general y a favor del que paga los favores. Se necesita integridad
dentro de la clase política, pues de ello depende la confianza de la población. Hoy yo no confío en los
políticos, ellos y sus intereses han permitido que la vivienda haya subido más que lo que los salarios pueden
pagar y ahora están salvando a sus intereses de la quiebra, sin pedir contrapartidas. Los que han robado
dinero en los bancos deberían devolverlo e ir a la carcel y con ellos los políticos que lo han permitido.
403. burocracia,legalidad,empleo,economía y un largo etc. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 10)
Se debe simplificar los procesos burocráticos porque la mayoría de las veces son absurdos y contradictorios,
sobre todo, ya que son dilatados por lo menos hacer cumplir y cumplir la leyes, en algunos casos es la propia
administración la que genera indefensión. Tener los políticos responsabilidad, por publicidad engañosa y no
cumplir con sus cometidos, o sea, destitución, ejemplo crisis económica, concesión de créditos a empresarios
que no llegan, establecer medidas que ya estaban en otras leyes como novedad ( ej. VPO).... A nivel de
empleo, llevar un mayor control de los ERE y una mayor inspección de trabajo, ha aumentado la economía
sumergida, crear más boificaciones y subvenciones a empresa pero con un período largo de permanencia en
actividad si no penalizarla.... Finalmente, regularizar mejor y llevar un mayor control de las ayudas de asuntos
sociales porque no todos los que la poseen tienen necesidades y así podría aumentarse y darlas a quiénes
realmente la merecen. Finalmente, proteger más y con mayores medidas de bienestar a los SOLTEROS SIN
HIJOS MAYORES DE 30 AÑOS, a los que nos crujen en impuestos y estamos vetados para muchas áreas
vitales, como viviendas (VPO), ayudas alquiler,etc....

405. Toleracia cero a la discriminación (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 12)
La Unión Europea no debe tolerar que ningún gobierno de un Estado miembro permita o promueva por
acción u omisión acciones de discriminación con ra ningún gupo y debe ser especialmente vigilante co
las actitudes hacia grupos tradicionalmente discriminados tales como homosexuales , minorías étnicas y
religiosas e inmigrantes. Cuando los países ingresan en la UE demuestran estar de acuerdo con el respeto
a los derechos humanos y civiles y cualquier miembro que incumpla en este entido debe ser sancionado sin
tibiezas de ningun tipo. Este tipo de acciones serán las que conviertán a la Unión Europea en una unión tan
política y cultural como económica.
406. Bienestar social, protección medioambiental, derechos (importance: 77%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 10)
Probablemente, en generar en torno a mi unas condiciones de vida suficientemente dignas. Al fin y al cabo,
creo que eso es siempre lo que los ciudadanos esperan de sus gobiernos. ¿Por qué no debería esperar yo lo
mismo de la Unión Europea? Siempre he sido bastante europeista, pero estoy algo desencantado. No se de
qué me sirve ser ciudadano de la Unión, si mi ciudadanía está desprovista de derechos. La Unión Europea no
se ha preocupado, hasta ahora, en absoluto, en garantizar a sus ciudadanos los derechos sociales, a pesar
de que ha sido la tradición política europea la que siempre ha hecho más incapié en ellos. Considero esto
un grave error. Respecto a los derechos civiles y políticos, creo que se ha hecho algo mejor, pero que faltan
algunos pasos por dar. Por más que se reconozcan ciertos derechos, mientras no haya un vínculo sólido y
real entre las instituciones europeas y sus ciudadanos, poco podremos sentirnos identificados con la Unión.
Y sobre todo, poco seremos capaces de poner a la Unión al servicio de nuestros intereses como ciudadanos.
Por último, considero positivo el compromiso de Europa con los derechos humanos y el medioambiente.
No creo que estos dos temas sean mera retórica; al contrario, una cosa y la otra son básicas, elementales
para nuestra dignidad personal. Tal vez el compromiso de la Unión con estos valores debiera ser más sólido.
Quedan muchos pasos por dar, especialmente en la cuestión ecológica, cada día más urg

Existen muchas leyes y acuerdos que establecen muchos derechos fundamentales, pero en la práctica son
vulnerados cada día y de forma impune. Las instituciones, las fuerzas de seguridad y las personas poderosas
tienen al ciudadano normal relegado a un segundo plano. Es mi caso personal un claro ejemplo. Me casé
con mi mujer hace más de un año, y aún el estado español no me permite que entre en España, porque ellos
aún no han "procesado" la solicitud que hace más de un año presenté en los registros civiles españoles.
En el transcurso de ese tiempo, he tenido una hija, y tampoco la reconocen como española. Es ciudadana
comunitaria, tanto mi mujer como mi hija, por ser mi mujer mi cónyuge, y por ser mi hija biológica mi hija, y
el estado español mantiene a mi familia separada de mi sin derecho ni posibilidad de reclamación ninguna.
Pero eso ocurrirá siempre a no ser que ustedes, que parecen ser más humanos que el gobierno español,
hagan algo. Les pido ayuda por este medio. Juan Antonio Miralles Fernández, DNI45585670S, Plaza Can

vivo en un país en que hay funcionarios municipales, autonó micos y nacionales. No se cumplen las
directrices de la Unión Europea. Hay luchas entre Comunidades Autónomas. Las Universidades están
politizadas, las televisiones estan politizadas, las radios el cina, la cultura, todo depende del poder político
e ideológico. No hay libertad para diverger. El país ase está atomizando y tene que cumplir normativas
autonómicas. La gente no puede mudarse d. e región porque sus hijos no pueden aprender otro idioma.
Como decía Peter Drucker: Han creado burocracias, y ahora esas burocracias hay que alimentarlas. Sin
embargo, estamos en un mundo global. Yo trabajo en una empresa que está en 23 países y España está
con problemas del siglo XIX. Internet y la tecnología podrían solucionar eso. La cultura y los viajes también.
Están enseñanrdo a los niños a odiarse entre sí. Están enseñando a base de inventar la historia en que son
diferentes. Pero todos piensan en el pasado. Deberían pensar en el futuro. Y en el futuro, sólo tiene sentido
pensar en que sólo tendremos fuerza si luchamos como una Europa unida, no como miles de países sin
intereses comunes y sin una raíz común. Queremos las mismas cosas. Debemos unirnos y hablar el mismo

La discriminación de cualquier tipo es una práctica MUY costosa económicamente y puede llevar a conflictos
innecesarios entre pueblos, razas, religiones, personas con orientaciones sexuales distintas, etc. La UE
desde sus inicios tiene la igualdad entre todas las personas como uno de sus valores. Esto debe reforzarse

igualdad están por encima de cualquier otra consideración.

Igual que a principios del siglo pasado, las leyes y costumbres marginaban a la mujer, hoy día hemos pasado

Considero que, de todos los temas, el que más dolor causa, el más injusto, y en el que más está en juego
es el trato que se les da a los otros animales. Es análogo al trato que recibían los negros africanos al ser
usados como esclavos, e igualmente, entonces no se veía tan claro como ahora lo bárbaro de esta práctica.
Los animales, como los esclavos, son considerados meras herramientas, propiedades privadas que sólo
cuentan en función de lo que signifiquen para su propietario. Por el mero hecho de ser seres que sienten,
se debe de hacer un esfuerzo por protegerles. No sólo eso. Tenemos la responsabilidad, en base al poder
que poseemos, de conseguir reducir el dolor que se les causa a nuestra costa, innecesariamente. Esta idea,
a pesar de lo extraña que parezca, es tan lógica que estoy seguro de que nuestros nietos se preguntarán
cómo era posible que se permitiera este trato. De todas maneras, cada vez hay una mayor conciencia de
la sensibilidad de los animales y la importancia ética de trabajar para reducir su sufrimiento. Por poner un
ejemplo, en las causas de Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/causes/), la causa de los derechos animales
está la tercera por encima del calentamiento global o del abuso infantil, y sólo superada por dos campañas
contra el cáncer. Es necesario hacer un esfuerzo educativo contra la crueldad hacia los animales. No es
cuestión de gusto cuando hay dolor en juego.

La Unión Europea debe seguir e incluso aumentar el esfuerzo inversor en la construcción de infraestructuras

Es tan necesario que podamos sentirnos cerca un europeo de otro, que esta mejora en las komunicaciones
entre paises es la base para construir no sólo una europa unida economica y politicamente, sino una nación
europea federal, confederacional o como fuere de diversas naciones interiore. Para su construcción se
necesitan más que políticas y elecciones europeas, es necesario también crear una mentalidad europea en
la población, que sienta que lo que ocurre en Suecia o Chipre le es tan propio como lo que puede ocurrir en
cualquier región de su propio país. Para ello, el ciudadano debe sentir que todos estamos muy cerca unos de
otros y que nos influímos mucho entre nosotros, algo a lo que ayudan unas buenas comunicaciones de tren
o automóvil porque así lo sentira más cercano y más propio. Además, la mejora de las comunicaciones de
estos tipos de transporte mejora la economía, el aumento de los negocios entre empresas y directivos de los
paises miembros al ser más fácil la comunicación y las reuniones directa y personalmente. También relanza
el turismo, lo que implica un mayor conocimiento de los ciudadanos de los paises que forman la Unión y, por

Es preocupante la actitud de parte de la población en contra de la ayuda al desarrollo y la libre circulación

traducir toda la documentación a todos los idiomas de la UE, pero también es injusto que unos ciudadanos
tengan facilidades extras al usar su idioma materno como idioma oficial. La mejor solución es usar el
esperanto como idioma común en la UE, todos lo usuariamos como segunda lengua, sin imponer culturas de

La Unión Europea debería concentrar sus esfuerzos en el fortalecimiento del Estado del Bienestar, con
políticas capaces de homogeneizar las coberturas sociales mínimas en todos los países miembro. Frente a
las voces que reclaman una contracción de las políticas sociales, el auténtico desarrollo sólo puede lograrse
elimiando las brechas de desigualdad. Para ello, la Unión debería legislar tanto en aspectos basicos de
garantía de servicios como de normativa comunitaria de impuestos. En un momento de crisis, la protección
social es básica como un pilar básico de inclusión. La Unión debería comenzar a plantearse también un
cambio en el sistema económico que busque el equilibrio. El capitalismo salvaje e incontrolado sólo es
fuente de desequilibrios e injusticia, abandonando en su camino a los "peones" que considera inútiles. Un
sistema económico como el actual, basado en el crecimiento continuo, pero en un sistema de recursos
limitados y finitos como es la Tierra, lleva en su propia esencia el germen de su autodestrucción. Por eso, es
imprescindible que comiencen a ponerse las bases para un cambio no traumático de sistema económico, de
forma que se busque el desarrollo humano en un nuevo escenario tendente al equilibrio.

474. Solución común a la crisis. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 13)
En este aspecto hasta ahora las cosas se han hecho bien, ya que la UE se reunión antes del G20 para lanzar
una política común, y los países han aplicado más o menos las mismas soluciones. El problema no es la
falta de una línea común, sino la falta de medidas, creo que se debería hacer un mayor esfuerzo aún por
solucionar esta crisis, y como ya he dicho otras veces, ¿Quien mejor que la UE para coordinar este esfuerzo?

Eliminación física de todas las fronteras interiores. Actualmente, ya se puede circular libremente por toda
la Unión. Pero en muchas carreteras siguen en pie los antiguos puestos fronterizos, por los que hay que
reducir la velocidad, dando la sensación de "salir de un país y entrar en otro". Estos puestos deben suprimise
por completo para integrar territorialmente toda la UE. Además, en algunos aeropuertos como los del Reino
Unido, siguen vigilando los pasaportes de los ciudadanos europeos como si fuéramos de otros países. No
debería haber controles de pasaportes dentro de la Unión.

476. Poca participación directa en la toma de decisiones (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 8)
Pese a las sucesivas reformas que ha experimentado la Comunidad, el fracaso del proyecto de Constitución
Europea y el del Tratado de Lisboa, han dejado a la Comunidad a medio camino, porque sus competencias
son cada día mayores, así como su creciente papel y protagonismo directo en las políticas a desarrollar por
los estados miembros, pero los ciudadanos siguen sin tener un papel protagonista en la toma de decisiones y
en el futuro que nos espera, hay un gran déficit democrático y, puede que hace 20 años, tuviera sentido, pero
hoy en día, uno de los problemas que arrastramos es la no renovación y democratización de las instituciones,
la creación de una cámara y de un ejecutivo que se ampare en la soberanía del pueblo y no seguir por
el camino neoliberal y antagónico del gobierno tecnócrata de unos pocos para muchos; la Comunidad la
conformamos todos y principios como el de la gobernanza no son ni mucho menos suficientes; además de
que deberíamos aprovechar la actual tesitura para aclarar determinados puntos conflictivos como la situación
inglesa y sueca respecto de la Unión Monetaria y un verdadero desarrollo de políticas que fomenten el
desarrollo y cooperación entre las euroregiones, lo que impulsaría mucho un modelo económico y social
mucho más cohesionado y capaz; a ello contribuiría sin duda una regulación fiscal progresiva y uniforme, así

Europa. ¡¡¡Porfavor no compitamos con China!!!!
485. Reforzar el principio de solidaridad y promover intercambios (importance: 66%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 10)
Considero que es pilar basico y principio en el que se creo esta Unión, con el tiempo las dificultades
económicas, laborales, comerciales... como consecuencia de la etapa decreciente actual, están generando
distancias entre los países miembros y dificultando la entrada a otros, además de transmitir un elitismo y
crear niveles-grados de valor añadido a determinados países. Como miembros-socios debemos de tener
todos los paises el mismo papel en capacidad negociadora y presencia en toma de decisiones. Por supuesto
tambien cumplir con todos los acuerdos y pactos alcanzados. A nivel de intercambio laboral y facilidad de
movilidad de los trabajadores, todo lo que se está realizando es en niveles elevados, los empleados públicos
medios no encontramos opciones en las ofertas, esto también pasa con los programas de formación, todos
están dirigidos a titulaciones altísimas y, si son becas pues estamos fuera de su alcance gran número de
población en edad laboral, todavía con muchos años de trabajo por delante, pero fuera de los parámetros de
edades para solicitarlas. Me gustaría que esto se tuviera encuenta y en la medida de lo posible mejorarlo.
Personalmente creo que en lo social la población hemos crecido mucho en sentimiento de unidad, es
precisamente por esto que anhelamos "proximidad real", oportunidades de poder aprovechar formación (on-
line si no puede ser presencial) impartida en otros países, cultura e intercambios en puestos de trabajo para

evaluations: 9)
Europa tiene una riqueza enorme en su riqueza cultura, en la diversidad de sus pueblos, riqueza que hay que
fomentar y preservar pues es también su mayor potencial. Sin embargo esto puede a su vez ser un problema
pues en ciertos ámbitos presenta desventajas: costes elevados en traducciones interlenguas en documentos
que deben conocer todos los europeos (leyes, decretos, constitucion, etc), desarrollo de actividades políticas
(necesidad de intérpretes en las reuniones y comisiones, etc), educación y mercado común entre otras. Por
ello se impone la necesidad de una lengua AUXILIAR común, una lengua de comunicación entre personas
de distintas lenguas, un factor común que permita entendernos, comunicarnos y reducir los costes y los
efectos negativos para concentrarnos en potenciar los positivos. Esa lengua ya existe y se llama Esperanto.
Creo necesario potenciar el uso del esperanto en la UE y convertirla en la lengua administrativa de la unión,
enseñarla en todas las escuelas y tenerla como la lengua de uso para dirigirse a las instituciones europeas
y para que estas se dirigan a sus ciudadanos. También potenciaría la educación transnacional, permitiendo
que cualquier persona de la UE pudiese recibir clases en cualquier universidad sin tener que conocer más
que dos lengua, la suya propia y la lengua auxiliar de la UE, el factor común que nos une. Espero que pronto
veamos convertida en realidad una iniciativa tan lógica, práctica y de sentido común. Un s

Dado que es la lengua con mayor presencia internacional, apostaría por incrementar la formación en inglés
en el conjunto de la unión europea. En concreto en España, existe una gran carencia de conocimientos
de dicha lengua por los ciudadanos de más de 30 años, dado que durante muchos años la lengua que
se estudiaba en las escuelas era el francés. El desconocimiento del inglés por un número tan alto de
la población, es una barrera importante a la hora de relacionarnos con ciudadanos pertenecientes a un
mosaico de estatos con una variedad lingüística tan amplia. Así pues .. busquemos una lengua común, pero
necesitamos que nos formen en ella.

Es necesario garantizar sistemas sanitarios gratuitos para todos los ciudadanos de la UE. La tarjeta sanitaria
y los avances que se vienen realizando en la atención de los pacientes transfronterizos son un éxito. Pero,
por qué los sitemas sanitarios son tan diferentes según los Estados miembros? La asistencia sanitaria
universal y gratuita debería ser un derecho europeo.
496. Sanidad (importance: 89%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 14)
falta de medios y de atención, exasperantes colas de espera para tratamientos, que hacen que al final nos

lentes correctoras deberíamos tener algun tipo de subvención o rebaja fiscal en la declaración de la renta
497. Jóvenes, familia, trabajo (importance: 88%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 15)
- Destinar más recursos a la juventud o incentivar las empresas para que contraten más jóvenes y que no
los exploten (en Italia es la norma) de manera que podamos independizarnos. -Destinar más recursos, a
su vez, para que para los jóvenes sea posible formar una familia. Hoy en día, para los jóvenes, es difícil
trabajar y construirse una familia. Muchas veces las parejas jóvenes tenemos que renunciar a tener hijos por
falta de recursos económicos ya que nos es también difícil acceder a puestos de trabajo que nos garanticen
el mínimo rédito necesario para formar una familia sin pasar hambre... A su vez, existe un proceso de
"desumanización" del trabajador o trabajadora por parte de las empresas, un uso abusivo de los contratos
y poco control por parte de las autoridades competentes . Las empresas, por su parte, no cumplen con su
responsabilidad social, por ejemplo, creando guarderias en las propias empresas. En Italia, en concreto, la
mujer pone directamente en riesgo su puesto de trabajo si se queda embarazada... una cosa indignante.

Los médicos, enfermeros y demás personal auxiliar de los centros de salud y hospitales son, en general, en
España buenos profesionales. No obstante carecen de recursos, en mi opinión, debido a la errónea política
del equilibrio presupuestario y el déficit cero anual. Esto provoca menor gasto público a costa del nivel de
atención del paciente. El endeudamiento (ya sea privado o público) no es pernicioso por definición. Existen
ratios de endeudamiento aceptables que permitirían incrementar el nivel de atención al paciente, sin que el
gasto público y el endeudamiento se disparasen.

(tradicional-biológica) es invertir en la salud de los seres humanos y en la supervivencia del planeta, al que
pertenecemos. Eso es lo que me espero que haga la UE, con seriedad, sin concesiones a las corporaciones
y a entes jurídicos de cualquier tipo. - Me preocupa la difusión de los Organismos Genéticamente Modificados
y el apoyo del gobierno español a los mismos. Creo que la UE debería establecer una comisión para estudiar
su impacto en la salud del ambiente y de los seres humanos e instar a los gobiernos que han dicho "si" a
los OGM a organizar un referendum. Creo sinceramente que la mayoría de los europeos, sobre todo si son
personas informadas, prefieren no consumir OGM. Lo mínimo que la UE debería imponer, para tutelar el
derecho de las personas a saber lo que consumen, es un etiquetado claro y preciso de los productos OGM...

sus atribuciones o no, para fabricar a toda prisa la mayor cantidad de unidades posibles para repartirlas entre
la población? Que se les presione si es necesario, así como ellos presionan y sobornan a algunos políticos

Creo que la UE debe potenciar la unificación de las políticas educativas y sanitarias. Ya se está haciendo un
gran esfuerzo con la aplicación del EEES (Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior) pero creo que se debería
profundizar más aún. Lo mismo con la sanidad. Debemos hacer hincapié en la cohesión entre los ciudadanos
de los distintos estados. La UE debería estar más presente en la vida pública y eleverar su apuesta de unión,
con mayor publicidad y más democracia.
No se hasta que punto conoce las enfermedades raras o de intolerancias a los alimentos ,pero creo que

de los Ciudadanos de la Unión. (EuroNews emite DIARIAMENTE en OCHO lenguas, mientras la inmensa
mayoría de las páginas web de la Unión Europea están únicamente disponibles en INGLÉS y como mucho en
Francés y/o Alemán) EL MULTILINGÜÍSMO ES UN DERECHO DE LA CIUDADANÍA!

591. Fomentar una "cultura europea" (importance: 74%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 11)
Los ciudadanos de los países miembros de la Unión, en general se sienten ciudadanos de su propio país,
pero en muchos casos no se sienten propiamente europeos. El hecho de pertenecer todos al viejo continente,
con una historia común en muchos casos debería traducirse en que los ciudadanos hiciesemos nuestros
elementos culturales, históricos, etc. de países que están fuera de la frontera de nuestro propio país.
Normalmente nos limitamos a viajar por otros países, normalmente los más cercanos, pero vamos allí más
como turistas extranjeros, que com "europeos", que es lo que en realidad somos. Supongo que el modelo que
tengo in mente es el del estadounidense. A mi modo de ver, sería deseable alcanzar un estatus de europeo,
similar al modelo citado. Es probable que el no tener una lengua común, sea la mayor barrera que tenemos
entre nosotros.

beneficiosa para todas las partes.

sitios P2P en España. ETC. Qué hace la UE? NADA.

602. Respetar las libertades de los pueblos y naciones sin Estado (importance: 62%, disagreement: 29,
evaluations: 13)
Para hacer una Europa de los ciudadanos y "romper" la barrera de los estados, hay que reconocer a los
pueblos y naciones sin Estado, y reconocer su lengua (catalán, euskera...). Es increible como el catalán
con más de 10 millones de catalanohablantes no es oficial en todos los organismos oficiales de la UE,
simplemente por no tener Estado propio, y en cambio, muchas lenguas mucho más minoritaris son
reconocidas simplemente por tener un Estado propio. Donde estamos, en la europa de los ciudadanos o en
la de los estados. Gran paradoja y contradicción, pués en principio la creación de la UE era romper la barrera
de los estados y simplemente los está fortaleciendo. Si esto no cambia, y los catalanes, vascos... deciden
declarar algún día la independencia respecto los estados español y francés, esperamos que la UE dé soporte
a los ciudadanos que libremente lo hayan decidido, y en su caso, evite la intervención militar de ambos
ejércitos para ahogar lo conseguido por los ciudadanos, de la misma manera que ahora están intentando con
el Estatut de Catalunya, aprobado por más del 89 del Parlament de Catalunya y refrendado en referéndum
por los catalanes, a pesar de los recortes sufridos desde Madrid.

medioambiental, social y cultural
605. No hay peor religion q el laicismo (importance: 54%, disagreement: 33, evaluations: 11)
El laicismo impide la libertad religiosa... ser cristiano, ser musulman, o musulmana, ser budista... esta
perseguido socialmente. No nos encarcelan pero nos señalan con el dedo. El laicismo es a la libertad
religiosa como la homofobia a la libertad sexual. No queremos q reconozcan a Dios en la constitucion
europea, si la hacen algun dia...., una de verdad, basta q nos reconozcan el derecho a ser respetados
independientemente si mostramos nuestra opinion como creyentes de una determinada religion. Yo, al laicista
lo respetaré, pero no tiene derecho a relegar a las religiones al ambito privado.... eso es montar un estado
confesional laicista, no un estado laico o aconfesional. Voto por los estados aconfesionales.
606. Una Lengua , Una Europa (importance: 50%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 11)
Ahora que observamos mirando al pasado; el euro, las fronteras, asistencia sanitaria y demás grandes
proyectos realizados con el esfuerzo de muchos países (no todos en el caso de la moneda) vemos como
estos proyectos han mejorado y facilitado la vida de los europeos. ¿Y ahora qué hacemos? Deberíamos, ¿por
qué no? esforzarnos en los mas importante que hace la unión entre los pueblos y sus culturas; El Idioma. Si
no hay una lengua común, como va haber unión, Me imagino que esto se estará estudiando, ¿pero? ¿Del
todo bien? ¿A que esperamos? !500 Millones de europeos , 27 países y 24 lenguas¡ !esto es la mismísima
torre de babel que va a estallar¡. Empecemos un profundo debate entre todos los europeos, Debemos
esforzarnos en encontrar una lengua común, sea cual sea. Ingles, Francés, alemán, italiano, español o
Incluso ¡Latín! o la vieja idea del Esperanto... Desde mi visión, a mi no me importa cambiar de lengua y
aprender otra, no creo que sea útil defender tu lengua simplemente porque haya nacido en mi región, en
lenguaje es comunicación no debe tener otro valor, y el poder comunicarte con todos los países de la Unión
Europea es lo más bonito y fascínate que podemos hacer juntos. Entonces... A que esperamos, si creemos
en Europa, esto ocurrirá, pero seamos nosotros los que lo hagamos realidad, quiero vivir ese momento, no
quiero ver a mis nietos aprendiéndolo, no quiero morirme sin sentirme realmente Europeo. ¿Empezamos?

607. Intensificar la formación en una lengua común (importance: 49%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 8)
Dado que es la lengua con mayor presencia internacional, apostaría por incrementar la formación en inglés
en el conjunto de la unión europea. En concreto en España, existe una gran carencia de conocimientos
de dicha lengua por los ciudadanos de más de 30 años, dado que durante muchos años la lengua que
se estudiaba en las escuelas era el francés. El desconocimiento del inglés por un número tan alto de
la población, es una barrera importante a la hora de relacionarnos con ciudadanos pertenecientes a un
mosaico de estatos con una variedad lingüística tan amplia. Así pues .. busquemos una lengua común, pero
necesitamos que nos formen en ella.

608. Religión (importance: 49%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 11)
En la ciudad donde vivo, comunidad autónoma, país... mires donde mires, está todo contaminado con la
religión. El culto es algo que entiendo y respeto, pero debe ser algo privado, que cada uno lo practique en su
casa o en su iglesia. Por lo tanto, no puedo entender, que cuando dos personas intentan debatir algo, si una
de ellas tiene la religión de su parte, significa que tiene automáticamente la razón. Lo que intento transmitir
es, que deberíamos dejar a un lado las creencias (me refiero en el ámbito de la UE), instando a que todos
los países y gobiernos sean laicos, y por supuesto, sacar la religión de las escuelas, de las ceremonias de
carácter oficial y de más lugares donde nunca deberían haber estado. En mi ciudad, por ejemplo, donde la
mayoría de personas son religiosas, se produce este fenómeno: Los partidos de izquierdas ahora son de
centro(centro-izquierda), y los partidos de centro-derecha albergan a la gente de centro-derecha, y a toda el
ala fascista radical, resquicio de la era franquista (lo digo porque aqui en la Comunidad Valenciana, es jauja
para ellos) que quiere verse representada con la democrácia. El problema viene, cuando la sociedad no
entiende de política (nadie les ha enseñado), por lo tanto simplemente van a sentirse identificados con sus
más afines. Lo que implica que, sin pensar en las políticas, se pasa al juicio moral, suponiendo que la iglesia
está con la derecha, y la izquierda está en contra de la iglesia. Cuando

609. Medio Ambiente y recursos (agua y energía) (importance: 91%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
Europa ha de trabajar contra el cambio climático, el deshielo del polo norte, el cambio en la corriente del
golfo. Ahora los combustibles han bajado como consecuencia del decrecimiento económico pero en cuanto
haya una recuperación económica volverán a subir ¿qué haremos con nuestras convalecientes economías
si empieza a haber inviernos más fríos y el combustible extrajero es cada vez más caro?. Quizás para
entonces ya no sea posible invertir en el desarrollo de las Energías Renovables. Hay que hacer un esfuerzo
ahora lo más rápido e intenso posible. Me preocupa que, como consecuencia de la crisis, se abandonen las
inversiones en Medio Ambiente ya que los beneficios no son tan inmediatos como una subvención a una
fábrica de coches pero mucho más necesarios. Probablemente la políticas educativas e informativas han de
incidir en estos aspectos para que los ciudadanos valoren correctamente estas inversiones. Por encima de
todo esto me preocupa que se tome el camino de la energía nuclear, un camino sin retorno que puede poner
en peligro a generaciones futuras. Otros temas que me parcen importantes son la contaminación de las
aguas y la ausencia de una legislación comunitaria que prohiba los alimentos transgénicos. Espero que entre
todos sepamos tomar las decisiones correctas. Un saludo.
612. Política de medio ambiente y energías. (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 10)
Hace tiempo que muchos países han decidido que el cúlpable de la contaminación es el ciudadano,
penalizando el uso del vehículo privado en exceso, pero sin aplicar una política medio ambiental real. La
realidad es que el transporte (incluyéndo aviación y transporte público) supone tan solo un 40% de las
emisiones, mientras que la generación de energía supone bastante más. Por ello no tiene ninguna lógica
que a mi me cueste más dinero la gasolina, o el coche, y por contra a Endesa o a Eon les salga "gratis"
construir nuevas centrales térmicas o de ciclo combinado, que contaminan muchísimo y son manifiestamente
ineficaces. Por ello se debe hacer una apuesta real por las energías renovables, por el desarrollo de nuevas
fuentes como la fusión nuclear, y penalizar lo que de verdad es más contaminante, que curiosamente es más
sencillo, y dejar de cargar al ciudadano de a pie con impuestos estúpidos. Lo único que pido en este aspecto
es consecuencia de las decisiones, si a mi se me aplica un recargo en la gasolina, que se lo apliquen igual a
la eléctrica de turno, y si a mi se me rebaja el coche si este contamina menos, que se haga lo mismo cuando
la compañía construya una nueva central. El problema viene cuando los gobiernos incompetentes ven que se
recauda mucho más con el ciudadano de a pie que con las grandes compañías. ¿Quien mejor que la unión
para conseguir un entendimiento en este aspecto y una mejora de la situación?

después de la experiencia exitosa de los estudiantes erasmus, y del futuro plan bolonia, que hará de la

único camino válido hacia el progreso y el éxito profesional. Planteo esta idea porque para mi, el alma de
uan sociedad es su vida diaria, que sin duda es la vida laboral, por lo que es para mi una idea que permitiría
hacer de esta unión cada vez más fuerte, ya que sus ciudadanos estaran cada vez mas movilizados, mejor
comunicados y hará de ellos unas personas que harán de la unión europea algo mas fuerte que una patria,

convalidar los títulos españoles con los de la UE. Becas - para el estudio de idiomas y de la cultura de otros
países de la Unión Europea con independencia de las becas para otros estudios. Además sería importante la
flexibilidad en la duración de la estancia, puesto que muchos estudiantes solo podrían dedicar las temporadas
de vacaciones a este fin. Patrimonio - debería estar más catalogado y hacer inventarios a nivel europeo para
facilitar su protecioón, restauración, recuperación, conocimiento y promoción. Control de fondos - los fondos
provenientes de la Unión Europea deberían estar más inspeccionados, más hasta último término. En general
esto se debería hacer con cualquier tipo de adjudicación monetaria, pero más aún cuando los fondos de los

y cotizando a la Seguridad Social, presenta deficit al estado por el hecho de que se trae a su familia de sus
paises de origen, los cuales nunca han cotizado... ingresa dinero en el sistema uno, y lo retiran muchos.
Perder en pocos años la proteccion social que nuestros padres hicieron para sus hijos, es la semilla para
que la xenofobia aumente. Estoy a favor de los permisos de trabajo temporales, limitados a personas
que producen, sin que ello permita que personas inmigrantes que no cotizan puedan tener coberturas de
educacion o de sanidad. Estoy seguro que los sueldos de los inmigrantes que trabajan en nuestro pais
benefician a sus familias en sus paises de origen. Promuevan sistemas para que estas transferencias de
dinero tengan tasas reducidas para ellos, pero dejando claro que vienen temporalmente para trabajar por
un sueldo, no para conseguir una residencia permanente ni mucho menos poder participar en elecciones
(exceptuando motivos de persecucion politica en su pais de origen).
649. La Inmigración y el Paro (importance: 80%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 10)
Luchar por una inmigración ordenada y mayor ayuda por parte de Eropa a los países del tercer mundo. Ayuda
a los mas necesitados y mano dura con los causantes de esta crisis, ya sea de manera directa o indirecta
(sector construcción, bancos, etc.). Que ingresen menos en los proximos años y que el dinero del estado
vaya a los que lo necesitan para comer.
650. igualdad de oportunidades, educación, inmigración (importance: 80%, disagreement: 11,

- favorecer la igualdad de oportunidades entre las mujeres y hombres con hijos. las mujeres no queremos
decidir entre una carrera profesional y una familia - la educación es el aspecto más importante de todas las
sociedades: ayudas/becas para estudiar, para oportunidades para niños más desfavorecidos, desarrollar
proyectos de investigación, etc. - inmigración, los europeos sabemos lo que es emigrar y dejar nuestras
familiar por un empleo más digno. garantizar desde la UE que eso es así.

empleo: crisis y empleo= desastre economia: crisis economica mundial, repartición de riquezas acumuladas
Justicia: menos flexibilidad con asesinos y a quien no respeta la vida del projimo. inmigración: adaptación
integración, y mas tolerancia. defensa: menos gasto innecesario personal y material, y menos "guerras
justas" y mas inplicarse en la mejora de la sociedad del pais en conflicto, reivindicando el respeto por la vida
ser humano como maximo valor univesal.

evaluations: 17)
¿Cuáles son las posibilidades reales de cambios en esta año de crisis? ¿Qué mejoras se pondrán en
práctica? ¿cómo se protegerá al pequeño trabajador autónomo en caso de no poder cumplir con los
compromisos fiscales? Me preocupa la falta de sanciones a los países que alientan la discriminación hacia los
inmigrantes. Me llama la atención la forma en que países como Italia desprecian la riqueza de aportaciones
de los inmigrantes. ¿Porqué los centros de detención de inmigrantes trabajan con criterios que señalan a la
inmigración no regularizada, como delincuencial? ¿Qué medidas de protección y de regulación de procesos
migratorios se preveen?
658. Inmigración (importance: 76%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 10)
Creo en un planeta de los hombres para los hombres, creo que las fronteras son invenciones inútiles,
egoístas y malas en general. Para no ser demasiado idealista creo que las políticas de inmigración en Europa
deberían ser bastante permisivas, dado ademas que la población envejece en un amanera alarmante. Esto
pero teniendo en cuenta factores de sostenibilidad.

Hubo y hay una gran oleada de inmigración hacia la UE. Hay muchos inmigrantes que no tienen sus "papeles
en regla", la policía los persigue con controles aleatorios. Lo primero que deberían hacer es perseguir a los
empresarios que los tienen trabajando sin contrato y sin ningún derecho sindical ni laboral de ningún tipo. Es
un tipo de esclavitud en la Europa del siglo XXI.

El comportamiento (estrategías, legislación, educación) frente a los mayores problemas de la inmigración
hacia la UE y la política internacional de UE (ante los EEUU, China, Turquía p.ej.) debería ser fortalecido y
asumido en un nivel paneuropeo. También ya es la hora de realizar un Ejército Europeo, por Europa y la paz

Que en las grandes ciudades: promueven mas las bicicletas, hagan pagar los coches por circular (Congestion
Charge) La innovación es clave para nuestro futuro desarrollo. Que NO subvencionen más a la agricultura,
que haya más libre movimiento de productos y servicios no solo dentro de Europa pero fuera también.
Podrían, en vez de esto subvencionar más la educación y la investigación. Los inmigrantes hacen Europa
más rico, no más pobre: tenemos que reflejar esto en la política. Lo que diferencia Europa del resto de
Europa son sus servicios sociales: no debemos olvidar esto: una sociedad se refleja en como protege a sus
mas débiles, ni animales salvajes traten a la gente como muchas personas quisieran que hiciéramos.

664. La inmigración (importance: 74%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 13)

seguridad social y pagar impuestos iguales en todos los países.
666. inmigracion (importance: 73%, disagreement: 30, evaluations: 21)
Europa deberia cuanto antes armonizar leyes para luchar contra la inmigracion ilegal y tener una inmigracion
legal y ordenada
Se debería regular la inmigración y mejorar la calidad de vida de los inmigrantes y su situación en general.
668. Inmigracion, empleo, politica conjunta (importance: 72%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 10)
Se deberian observar mas que aun siendo un grupo no todos los paises tienen la economia estructurada de
la misma forma ni depende de los mismos sectores
En mi opinión, éste es un tema sangrante. No puede ser que en un país con los problemas de mercado de
trabajo como España, sigan entrando extranjeros (sudamericanos, de países de la órbita de la antigua URSS,
africanos, etc.) que no tienen cabida en el mercado laboral y que se ven abocados, casi por obligación, a la
delincuencia (tráfico de drogas, mafias, atracadores de joyerías, etc.).

AÑOS, DESDE AFRICA PASANDO POR ERITREA Y POSTERIOMENTE AL MEDIO ORIENTE Y LUEGO
EL RESTO DE EUROPA, SOMOS LO QUE SOMOS ACTUALMENTE. POR LO QUE DETENER LOS
FLUJOS MIGRATORIOS ES LO MAS ANTINATURAL Y VA EN CONTRA DE LA EVOLUCION HUMANA.
ESTO POR EL LADO CIENTIFCO. PERO POR EL LADO PROPIAMENTE HUMANO ES CLARO QUE LAS
PERSONAS MAS NESECITADAS TENDERIAN BUSCAR FORMAS DE PROGRESO. Y DADO EL ESTADO
DE BIENESTAR QUE EXISTE EN EUROPA ES EL DORADOPARA LAS MISMAS. Y POR OTRO LADO EL
HECHO DE IR A RECLUTAR A LOS CEREBROS EN LOS PAISES DE ORIGEN ES ROBO Y CONDENA A

contrato que vengan. esto no lo se seguro, pero la gente de mi pueblo me dice que los inmigrantes tienen
mas ayudas que la población de aqui, porque?!!! Yo que soy joven se que la mayoria de droga y robos la
mueven inmigrantes, con eso no quiero decir que todos lo hagan, porque tazmbien hay gente muy honrada
con su trabajo y pagando sus impuestos y tampoco quiero decir que los que son de aqui son unos santos.
políticos : no soy claramente de un partido político, pero miro la tele y los politicos lo unico que hacen es

En las grandes ciudades estamos acostumbrados a "disfrutar" de un transporte público y de unos servicios
básicos (telefonía, comunicaciones..) cada vez de más calidad. Eso no ocurre con las poblaciones en el área
de influencia de éstas metrópolis. No se tiene en cuenta que el dia a dia de la ciudad se nutre en gran parte
de los habitantes de estas poblaciones que tienen que ocupar muchas horas de sus vidas en el trayecto para
ir al trabajo o para poder realizar sus compras, ya que por una parte, en la mayoría de estas poblaciones
no se genera empleo, y por otra, muchos de los productos de consumo sólo se encuentran en las grandes
ciudades. En todo ello, la UE debería ayudar y concentrar esfuerzos para descentralizar por una parte las
concentraciones de empleo en las ciudades y áreas de negocio, y por otro, dotar de mejores infraestructuras
con un transporte público eficaz acorde con las exigencias de mobilidad y puntualidad que se nos piden a

asignaturas aprobadas hasta tercero, con lo cual me corresponderia un título de primer ciclo o diplomado,

Europa debería tener una red de transporte de pasajeros y mercancias comun. Debería ser posible tomar un
tren de alta velocidad en Sevilla e ir hasta Dublin, Amberes o Paris. Del mismo modo sería conveniente un
esfuerzo similar en el área del transporte de mercancias. Y, los más importante, Europa deberia centrarse en
una red ferroviaria de alta velocidad en larga, media y corta distancia, así como en la progresiva eliminación
de las vías de circulación de vehículos que consuman combustibles fosiles tales como coches o camiones.
683. Servicios y transportes. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 16)
Más que concentrar, ampliar. Se debería de fomentar que las ciudades y comunidades, facilitaran a sus
ciudadanos el transporte, sin depender de medios privados.

Concretamente en nuestro pais, y conociendo algo otros de la Unión, puedo decir que nos falta una

Deberíamos dejar a parte las raíces cristianas de Europa que ya no son representativas de todos. Trabajar

sea mentira ), este es un tema que nos afecta a todos los europeos y buena muestra de ello són los cortes
de suministro de gas el pasado invierno. Aunque aparentemente la raiz de problema del gas sea distinto, la
realidad es que se produce en un contexto de continuas tensiones entre la OTAN ( EEUU ) y Rusia. Todos
sabemos que el escudo antimisiles responde a los intereses de EEUU y compromete la seguridad de Europa,

In questo momento di crisi economica tutti gli stati hanno bisogno di liberare risorse economiche per il

praticare un risparmio di risorse economiche che potrebbero essere utilizzate per politiche di welfare senza
ridurre il potenziale difensivo militare europeo. I nostri giovani, parlo per i miei figli, già si sentono europei,

Il motore di una società è formato dalle coscienze dei propri cittadini. Coscienze che si formano nelle scuole,
nelle università, nei centri di ricerca che devono essere indipendenti, liberi e assolutamente democratici per
dare ad ogni cittadino la possibilità di crescere e di trovare uno spazio proprio di espressione. Oggi sono le
industrie, l'economia a richiedere le specializzazioni che servono, riducendo la formazione a un diplomificio
senza libertà. L'istruzione non è soddisfare l'esigenze del mercato ma fornire a ciascuno gli strumenti
fondamentali per capire il mondo e affrontarlo. Purtroppo oggi si accondiscende ovunque a quello che
richiede il mercato e questo assopisce le coscienze, appiattisce le volontà e porta ad uno sviluppo meramente
economico con i guasti che sono sotto gli occhi di tutti e dai quali non ci si libera se non invertendo
radicalmente rotta.

lingua, matematica con programmi a 3 livelli di difficoltà, storia europea ed educazione civica; + 3 materie a
scelta. conservare l'erasmus ma promuovere la frequenza dell'intera università con il conseguimento della
laurea in un Paese diverso da quello di nascita, formare un centro di ricerca scientifica europeo collegato con
università e centri nazionali superare la frammentazione degli aiuti internazionali tipo all'Africa x esempio dei

il lavoro e miglora con l'esperienza.
senza lavoro non c'è futuro e sviluppo. bisogna uscire dalla crisi reinventando il lavoro dal basso. le banche
hanno creato questo dramma e i governi sono rimasti distanti anni luce dalle popolazione che dovrebbero
rappresentare. ancora adesso si fa di più per le banche e per i profitti delle aziende che risolvere i "grandi"
problemi dei citadini. si pensa più agli stipendi dei "calciatori" se bisogna salvare questa o quella squadra

Fornire maggiore sostegno alla ricerca scientifica, favorire lo scambio e la collaborazione degli enti scientifici

confronti dell'unione europea
36. Accorpare la ricerca a livello europeo (importance: 87%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 15)
Oggi, ogni stato membro dell'unione spende per la propria ricerca scientifica, investendo un certo ammontare
di risorse. Piuttosto di portare avanti 27 diverse ricerche scientifiche, sarebbe utile finanziare e strutturare la
ricerca a livello europeo. Si avrebbe un risparmio notevole di risorse (eliminando quelle strutture organizzative
che adesso sono ripetute per 27) permettendo un livello piu' elevato della ricerca in ogni paese.

all'oggi la U.E. non interviene nelle politiche fiscali dei paesi membri, nonostante la moneta unica. Ci sono
sperequazioni tra paese e paese, le cifre ufficiali a volte non sono veritiere, un lavoratore autonomo in
Italia (onesto) oggi tra fiscalità, tasse ed imposte dirette, indirette e nascoste come rolevato da autorevoli
agenzie europee, varia dal 55% al 78% per servizi a malapena sufficienti e non esenti da frodi ed infiltrazioni
malavitose. Da cittadino europeo, come esempio spicciolo, non comprendo perchè il mio passaporto europeo
deve pagare una tassa annuale in quanto emanato dal governo italiano e perchè devo pagare una tassa
nascosta per il finanziamento del Giubileo del 2000 di uno stato estraneo alla vita italiana.

46. armonizzazzione di diritti civili e condizioni di lavoro (importance: 87%, disagreement: 7, evaluations:

Se siamo cittadini uguali dell'Unione Europea io pretendo che fossimo anche uguali nei diritti civili e condizioni
di lavoro compresi salari, costi di lavoro e tassazione. Come puo pretendersi credibile l'unione europea se
non considera seriamente questo? Come puo essere che in certi circostanzi la UE pretende armonizzazione
ed in altri no. Magari se avessimo gli stessi diritti civili (qui a Malta manca per esempio l'introduzione del
Divorzio) mentre lo stato considera ed accetta il Divorzio fatto e compiuto in un altro paese europeo cosi
prevale un ingiustizia sociale tra chi puo permettercela a domiciliarsi per un po ed ottenere il divorzio e chi no.
Un altro argomento e i salari, i costi di lavoro, la tassazione. Come se pretende ad essere presa con serieta
l'istituzione dell'UE se in un attimo milita per armonizzazione di certe osservanze ma in altri no. Come puo
essersi che un impiegato statale guadagnia tanto in un paese e differentemente in un altro stato della stessa
Unione. O siamo cittadini uguali o no? Quando ho lamentato su qualcosa anche con l'ombudsman dell Eu
ricevo risposte di convenienza. In alcuni casi l'UE entra robustamente per portar tutti gli stati all'osservanza
delle stesse regole ed in alcun altri no, e questione di affari e poteri interni e domestiche. Sto perdendo ogni
speranza nell'istituzione, una speranza che avevo fin da bambino.

Per avere risorse, sanità infrastrutture e quindi il lavoro che aiuta le famiglie, occorre: A) Mantenere almeno
il 65% del Prodotto di subfornitura all'interno di ogni Paese, abbiamo distrutto con il low coast l'industria
siderurguica e presto quella manifatturiera, USA e GB insegnano! B) Obbligare le aziende Italiane a pagare

APPLICAZIONE DELLE LEGGI SUI POSTI DI LAVORO PER EVITARE INFORTUNI
L'Europa dovrebbe aiutare il Mezzogiorno d'Italia a riempirsi di opportunità di lavoro per i giovani laureati e
diplomati. Le aziende dovrebbero essere incentivate ad investire in Meridione, e dovrebbe essere controllato
l'utilizzo di fondi statali/europei, che troppe volte servono solo a far nascere aziende fantasma utili solo a chi

53. Aumento del livello di cultura scientifica e tecnica (importance: 86%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 9)
Sono un editore che si occupa di editoria STM (scientifica-tecnica-medica). Il mercato, soprattutto in Italia,
è depresso, e questo è un problema, anche di sopravvivenza, per la mia attività. Cosa ancora più grave, è
un problema che investe tutta la società, perché senza cultura scientifica e tecnica non c'è innovazione, e
senza innovazione cede la possibilità di progredire e di resistere alle tensioni economiche. Occorre quindi
un programma molto forte, che incentivi la cultura scientifica e tecnica in tutte le applicazioni e in tutti i settori.
Occorre iniziare dalla comunicazione, per creare modelli nei quali i giovani possano identificarsi, modelli
creati con il loro linguaggio e con meccanismi attraenti e premianti: perché smettano di vedere il loro futuro
come star dello spettacolo, o in alternativa come disoccupati. A seguire, e in modo fortemente integrato,
avviare meccanismi premiali nella scuola, per alunni e insegnanti che si orientino a sviluppare skills avanzate
nelle discipline scientifiche e tecniche. Per giungere a tutta la società, con l'obiettivo di concedere incentivi,
in modo capillare, a chi si occupa di scienza: corsie preferenziali per i ricercatori nelle università, incentivi
all'industria della cultura, agli autori, ai giornalisti, agli eventi, risorse e agevolazioni alle attività produttive
che sulla scienza e la tenologia avanzata basano il loro business. Buona parte dell'Europa può diventare un
gigantesco think tank

EUROPA che favorisca l accesso all informazione e alla formazione di opinioni pubbliche consapevoli,lontane

61. Nelle politiche sull'integrazione, nella ricerca scientifica (importance: 86%, disagreement: 16,

L'UE manca ancora di una vera integrazione politica, e di una visione comune a livello economico. Spero
vivamente che l'Unione sappia fare quel grande passo che la faccia diventare una entità più coesa e
vicina alla gente. Per fare questo devono essere affidate a questo organismo la politica estera, la difesa e
l'economia. La moneta unica è stata raggiunta, ma una cosa è parlare di politiche monetarie, una cosa è
parlare di politiche economiche. Per proghedire poi insieme è necessario che siano attivati grandi investimenti
sul campo della ricerca scientifica, non dimenticando che l'accesso agli studi deve essere gratuito o
perlomeno accessibile alla maggior parte delle persone, perchè non bisogna creare delle elite autoreferenziali
che detengono in mano il potere senza consenire un ricambio sociale.

per quanto riguarda il lavoro, l'UE dovrebbe investire maggiormente creando opportunità di sviluppo che

ai cittadini d'Europa il ruolo dell'UE e come può essere vicino nelle grandi come nelle piccole cose.
69. lavoro, ambiente, sicurezza, istruzione, solidarietà (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations:

bisognerebbe tornare alla centralità dell'essere umano come persona e non come un numero in una statistica,
dare un ruolo ed un significato alla vita e ridimensionare il valore del denaro per rendere ogni respiro di un
bambino un valore e non un fatto. penso che il lavoro ci rende migliori e ci da la possibilità di vedere ogni
alba con occhi aperti al futuro, in un ambiente dove è possibile respirare un'aria più pulita e mangiare cibi che
siano sicuri per la nostra salute, dove la sicurezza delle persone sia dettata da regole certe e che uscire la
mattina per andare al lavoro, significhi tornare la sera a casa dai propri cari. Un'Europa che permetta a tutti
un'istruzione adeguata e facilmente accessibile, anche a chi non può permettersi di pagare dei libri di testo
con dei costi proibitivi, un'Europa dove la solidarietà non debba essere lasciata all'iniziativa delle svariate
associazioni di volontariato, ma che faccia parte di un sistema di vita e di stato dove ognuno abbia il diritto di
vivere dignitosamente una vita senza dover elemosinare del cibo ed attraversare la strada ad un'altro che si
può permettere di comprare addirittura parti anatomiche di persone che per sopravvivere si vendono il sangue
ed anche organi. Torniamo a pensare che questo è un mondo di persone dove vivere è bello, ma per molti
potrebbe essere più bello. grazie

Credo sia veramente giunto il momento di pensare all'ambiente in cui viviamo, finanziando opere per la
produzione di energia alternativa, edifici di qualità e ad alto contenimento energetico. Tutto ciò potrebbe
creare delle nuove figure professionali e dare una nuova spinta economica per le molteplici opportunità di
lavoro che si verrebbero a creare. Penso che ambiente, riconversione industriale e applicazione di nuove
tecnologie vadano di pari passo con una maggiore opportunità di occupazione.

L'unione europea è una grande famiglia che ci può permettere, attraverso le sue potenzialità e la grande
ricchezza economica che possiede, potenziali posti di lavoro basati sulla meritoicrazia non indifferenti.
Nella mia terra molti sono i laureati e competenti che si ritrovano a 30 anni ancora senza lavoro, perchè il
lavoro viene dato ai conoscenti, ai raccomandati emarginando così chi veramente ha potenzialità, ma non
ha potenza per essere assunto. Secondo me dovrebbe vigilare anche l'Europa sull'Italia, vigilare contro la
corruzione, garantire la lealtà, il diritto di poter fare lavorare chi veramente ha studiato e sudato...Perchè
arrivare a 30 anni senza lavoro o precario è una beffa, è una vergogna perchè è vero che il lavoro nobilità
l'uomo, IL LAVORO RENDE DEGNO UN UOMO!!! Quindi l'europa dovrebbe vigilare, garantire ed appoggiare
questo vale anche per le piccole imprese che spesso vengono soffocate anche dallo strozzinaggio legalizzato
che viene fatto dalle banche. Punterei soprattutto con il sostegno ai piccoli imprenditori perchè secondo me
non c'è cosa più bella di creare ognuno di noi il proprio lavoro, la propria occupazione, il proprio futuro!!

In un ottica di globalizzazione e quindi di concorrenza su base mondiale, è indispensabile che l'Unione si
doti di una serie di network nelle macroaree di interesse strategico, al fine di potenziare e ottimizzare le sue
risorse. Ad esempio in campo medico-scientificare, facilitare i programmi di interscambio, nonchè la mobilità
dei soggetti coinvolti nel progetto. Magari fornendo incentivi per un eventuale trasferimento in un altro Paese
dell'Unione. Decidedere, centralmente, con l'aiuto di un pool di esperti, le linee di ricerca da condurre e i
progetti su base europea da portare avanti, sulla base dell'interazione di Centri, che si caratterizzano nei
vari ambiti e non si sovrappongono come succede ora. Un ulteriore esempio può essere rappresentao da un
network per lo studio dell'infezione cronica dell'epatite C, che veda coinvolti Paesi come la Spagna, la Francia
e l'Italia, che sono all'avanguardia mondiale in questo topic. Il tutto con una direzione centralizzata e non
campanilistica.

La popolazione europea non ha molti giovani ma quelli che ci sono non trovano lavoro per via della lotta tra
generazioni. Incentivando la creazione d'imprese ad ALTO CONTENUTO INNOVATIVO GESTIONALE E
SOCIALE si possono aprire le porte ad un nuovo movimento imprenditoriale, incentivando quelle aziende che
rinccorono l'alta innovazione sia tecnologica che gestionale, si possono non solo creare dei posti di lavoro
ma anche salvaguardare questi da eventuali concorrenza a basso prezzo proveniente da paesi emmergenti.
Creando un'azienda ad alto contenuto sociale nella quale le persone facciano gruppo e siano costantemente
in movimento verso l'innovazione si può garantire una totale concorreza apropriata.

87. Nella tutela del territorio e nella ricerca scientifica (importance: 85%, disagreement: 11, evaluations:

La qualità dell'ambiente in cui si vive è legata indissolubilmente alla qualità della vita. Una maggiore tutela
dell'ambiente (che comprende un'attenzione maggiore alla salute, la lotta all'abusivismo e l'impossibilità
dei condoni edilizi, la pianificazione urbanistica secondo criteri che promuovono il lavoro, l'integrazione
sociale degli individui e la loro serenità tout cour) è dunque di primaria importanza, è il fondamento di ogni
altro discorso politico, economico e sociale. In questo senso sono da promuovere le produzioni ecologiche
di energia prima di ogni altra forma di energia (ad esempio si dovrebbe promuovere maggiormente lo
sfruttamento dell'energia solare ed eolica invece di quello dell'energia nucleare). Le conoscenze scientifiche
sono direttamente collegate a queste problematiche, ma non le esauriscono. L'aumento delle conoscenze
scientifiche, se ben gestite, implicano comunque un miglioramento della qualità della vita degli uomini.

le tue idee e in questo modo di renderle pubbliche, si agisce sui mass media e sulla libertà di informazione.

Credo che i filoni principali sui quali l'Unione Europea dovrebbe concentrarsi siano questi: - Diritti Civili:
maggiori tutele per i diritti delle persone, sanzioni per gli stati che non li rispettano, tutela dei lavoratori, delle
donne e pari opportunità. Queste sono tematiche che stanno molto a cuore. - Concorrenza: un ruolo ancora
maggiore per i vari antitrust, maggiori poteri alle varie authority alla concorrenza, più attenzione nel controllare
i monopoli e nel sanzionare quegli stati e quelle aziende che ostacolano la libertà dei cittadini europei di
scegliere. - Ambiente: energie pulite e rinnovabili, tutela, conservazione e promozione del patrimonio naturale

solo ubbidiente e capace solo di alzare la mano. Una scarsa classe politica frena tutta la vita di un paese.

e di insegnamente nelle scuole e nelle università, cosìcche un diploma o laurea in Italia sia riconosciuta
ugualmente in un qualsiasi altro Paese della UE e viceversa senza dover passare per notai o dover far
tradurre il diploma/laurea etc. L'UE dovrebbe inoltre essere in grado di comunicare meglio ai cittadini ciò
che sta facendo in concreto in tutti gli ambiti per convicerci che serve effettivamente a qualcosa e non solo
a passare leggi marginali o inutili. Nell'ambito delle infrastrutture, penso si debba costruire un piano per i 27
Paesi con il quale si porti avanti (come sta già avvenendo ma non per tutti) la creazione di infrastrutture ad
alta velocità, dai trasporti (ferrovie e autostrade) alle telecomunicazioni (banda larga e fibra ottica per i privati
e per le imprese grandi e piccole) una cosa che manca nel paese in cui vivo io.
110. Ricerca,Università Europea,Promozione Politica Univoca (importance: 84%, disagreement: 28,
evaluations: 8)
La ricerca sta alla base dello sviluppo, spesso non viene riconosciuto il merito della ricerca nell'innalzamento
della qualità della vita, le aziende pubbliche (tipo ASL) e private dovrebbero cooperare con i centri di
ricerca universitari e l'Unione Europea dovrebbe garantire i rapporti di comunicazione tra ricerca e azienda
creando un sistema virtuoso e funzionale. Le risorse destinate alla ricerca dovrebbero essere prodotte dalla
cooperazione con le aziende attraverso un processo di partecipazione agli utili delle aziende delle università
(incentivazione per i docenti a partecipare al management dell'università) La formazione culturale in genere
e universitaria in particolare dovrebbe essere unificata in tutt'europa nell'obbiettivo di una condivisione del
sapere e di un rafforzamento della diffusione delle conoscenze, l'unico punto di forza che ci rimane rispetto
all'area asiatica e americana è appunto il nostro know how ancora forte e concorrenziale. programmi di
incentivazione di scambio culturale fin dalle scuole medie e superiori, potrebbero aiutare la diffusione di una
cultura europea. Il sistema politico Europeo è percepito dai cittadini come una entità astratta supra partes, non
è chiaro il ruolo degli stati all'interno della UE (ci sono degli stati che pesano di più?), sembra che le regole
dettate dalla comunità europea non siano prodotte da una concertazione fra i vari stati membri. Occorre più
promozione del sistema Europa, e un'irrigidimento delle reg

mancanza di precariato, mancanza di trasferimento di industrie nazionali all'estero, diritti internazionali dei
lavoratori. Pugno duro contro i delinquenti, inasprimento delle pene e delle carceri e della facoltà dei cittadini
di difendersi in determinate situazioni.
112. Economia, welfare, stabilità finanziaria (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 6)
Occorrerebbe rendere più fluidi i canali di accesso alla spesa europea da parte di imprese e famiglie della
Comunità, semplificando le procedure e rendendo più brevi i tempi di riscontro delle domande. Occorrerebbe
più spesa pubblica in assistenza per i disoccupati, per le famiglie con figli, per la sanità pubblica. occorrerebbe
dotare la BCE delle funzioni di prestatore di ultima istanza per tutta l'area euro.
113. Lavoro, lotta alla malavita, ecologia. (importance: 84%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 6)
Eliminare i gruppi criminali che frenano lo sviluppo, e tolgono risorse da investire in nuove imprese.
Controllare gli intrecci tra politica e malavita organizzata. Maggiore potere decisionale della UE rispetto ai
singoli stati per idirizzarne le politiche sociali ed economiche.
114. Sviluppo tecnologico (importance: 84%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 10)
L'Unione Europea quotidianamente dovrebbe appoggiare le industrie per promuovere lo sviluppo e
l'avanzamento tecnologico, sopratutto la ricerca. Lo sviluppo tecnologico deve però essere nel rispetto
dell'ambiente.
115. sul lavoro, i giovani, le possibilità di viaggiare in europ (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12,

credo che l'europa dovrebbe investire sui giovani, effettuando politiche per il lavoro più efficaci, creando per i
giovani scambi culturali con gli altri paesi europei
116. sulla disoccupazione (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 13)
Dovrebbero esserci maggiori sforzi affinchè le regole democratiche e di convivenza civile siano fatte applicare
in tutti i paesi dell'unione, con particolare riguardo alla tutela dei diritti civili,difesa delle categorie più debole,
rispetto delle diversità culturali/religiose/sessuali, tutela del lavoro, rispetto dell'ambiente e ricerca ed
applicazione delle energie alternative. Un passo importante sarebbe anche una maggiore rappresentatività del
parlamento europeo nonchè amggiori poteri di decisione che possano essere immediatamente effettivi in tutti i
paesi membri. Maggiore autonomia sulla scena internazionale e cooperazione con i paesi in via di sviluppo.

121. Favorire l'imprenditoria giovanile (importance: 84%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 14)
Fondi strutturali e sgravi fiscali ai giovani imprenditori anche per l'assunzione o la ricerca, crediti da spendere

Eliminare la precarietà. Proteggere i lavoratori dipendenti e i pensionati con pensioni basse. Maggiore equità
sociale attraverso un riequilibrio dei redditi. Togliere ai ricchi per dare ai poveri.
124. Economia sostenibile, energie rinnovabili, istruzione. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 7)
Penso che se non investiremo in tutto questo il futuro che ci si prospetta sarà di povertà ed infelicità. Già
adesso molte delle nostre città sono solo un ammasso di cemento e scarse prospettive per noi giovani.
Ricevere un incentivo dai governi a vivere in modo più sostenibile e rispettoso dell'ambiente potrebbe
davvero cambiare le cose. A scuola sarebbe necessario si insegnasse di più ai ragazzi cosa significa sfruttare
delle risorse e ricavarne ricchezza: una reale ricchezza, non una fittizia basata sulla regolazione dei flussi
di mercato. Questo è il concetto sul quale è basata l'economia attuale, che sta rivelando la propria natura
fallimentare.
125. Innanzi tutto nell'istruzione, poi nel lavoro. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 5)
Con il federalismo fiscale forse andranno perse alcune risorse a mio parere, mentre l'europa tenta di abbattere
le frontiere l'Italia ne sta costruendo delle altre, credo che bisognerà tenere molto sotto controllo questa nuova
iniziativa, forse richiede uno sforzo superiore ma tutti hanno diritto a una comunità europea senza barriere,
non vorrei che si limitasse ulteriormente la vita del cittadino, quindi bisognerà disporre di più risorse per il
lavoro per l'istruzione e per tutte le altre attività del paese, in secondo luogo creare più opportunità di lavoro, e
infine solidificare l'aspetto politico del nostro paese, basta con questi antirivieni e queste angosce dovute alla
poca solidità del nostro stato, infine più aiuti umanitari e di primo bisogno alle persone in difficoltà.
126. Crisi Economica (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 13)
Bisognerebbe investire di più sull'attuale crisi economica che stà portando via diversi posti di lavoro.
128. Occupazione, sicurezza, ricerca, educazione. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 6)
Bisogna aumentare i posti di lavoro fissi. Un uomo senza lavoro e' una persona disperata. Si crea cosi l'oddio
e la violenza. La sicurezza e' un fattore molto importante per la tranquillita' della vita. La ricerca crea nuovi
prodotti e posti di lavoro. Ho lasciato per ultima l'educazione che secondo me e' la piu importante area. Una
popolazione "educata" e' una popolazione sana.
129. Ricerca Scientifica (importance: 83%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 10)
L'ente per la ricerca delle scienze ed ingegnerie deve essere più attivo e investire fondi nelle università per
gruppi di ricerca
130. Favorire l'ingresso dei giovani nel mercato del lavoro (importance: 83%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 11)
Gli incentivi per favorire l'ingresso dei giovani nel mondo del lavoro sono ancora scarsi. C'è bisogno di
maggiore sostegno ai lavoratori e alle imprese; bisogna intervenire per dare ai giovani gli strumenti necessari
da poter spendere nel momento in cui si affacciano sul mercato del lavoro, per rispondere alle esigenze delle
aziende e allo stesso tempo poter realizzare i propri progetti (borse di studio, voucher per viaggi di studio ecc).
Si potrebbe intervenire anche sulle tipologie contrattuali attuali; il lavoro flessibile va bene, ma lo sfruttamento
che molte imprese mettono in atto è assolutamente vergognoso! E' necessario un maggiore controllo anche
da parte dell'Ue.

e mortificano la presenza, potessero avere un riferimento comune direttamente con la CE per un nuovo
bando multisettoriale: PROGETTIAMO LA NOSTRA CASA EUROPEA" ( architettura, arte, design, ingegneria
energetica, invenzioni, progetti culturali .......................) Una Banca dati che ne omologa le convergenze e
le possibilità di copartecipazione su un idea o un progetto e la possibilità di uno strumento di divulgazione,
informazione e costruzione dei modelli secondo i programmi determinati dagli stessi partecipanti con l'invio

rivedere i contratti degli operai, valutare nuove economie di mercato! creare una europa sociale!! lotta alla
corruzione: la mafia è soprattutto nei palazzi del potere oltre che nelle città siciliane e napoletane.. lotta ai
monopoli: solo eliminandoli si può parlare prezzi giusti
139. giustizia più celere, più opportunità di lavoro (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 8)
penso che da una giustizia più rapida, efficiente e meno farraginosa dipenda il benessere sociale in ogni
suo aspetto. sono pochissimi infatti i cittadini che non abbiano avuto almeno un incontro con i meccanismi
giudiziari: per una causa di lavoro, per una controversia civile o per essere stati vittime di reati penalmente
perseguibili. secondo la mia opinione non vi è settore sociale che non possa essere trattato e regolamentato
dall'autorità giudiziaria in tutti i suoi aspetti e se un cittadino si trovasse al cospetto di procedimenti più
rapidi ed efficaci sarebbe anche più propenso a denunciare i reati. auspicherei anche maggiori opportunità
di lavoro, anche part-time o a tempo determinato, specialmente per i cittadini di "mezza età" che oggi visto
il miglioramento della qualità della vita costituiscono una notevole risorsa per il mondo del lavoro e che
attualmente vanno a far parte di quella fascia in piena attività fisica ed intelletuale costituzionalmente scartata
dalla società, con un'aspettativa di vita lunga ma sprecata.
140. Tutelare gli interessi dei Lavoratori europei. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 12)
le politiche di delocalizzazione e apertura dei mercati dell'Unione Europea hanno come risultato
L'importazione di povertà (prodotti e servizi scarsi e a basso costo e persone disposte a lavorare sfruttate)
e l'esportazione del lavoro (aziende che se ne vanno non per espandere i mercati ma per produrre a meno
e reimportare in Europa). Noi stiamo diventando sempre più poveri e anche i paesi in via di sviluppo non ne
traggono vantaggio: solo poche persone a capo di poche multinazionali beneficiano di questo stato di cose.

Un sistema di studi europeo unico che preveda la stessa tempistica di entrata ed uscita dal sistema formativo
di ciascun paese dell'Unione. Una regolamentazione dell'accesso al lavoro unico prendendo a modello la
flexsecurity. Valorizzazione ed incentivazione delle attività culturali con particolare attenzione verso i giovani
artisti e la preservazione delle capillarità culturali presenti sul territorio. Leggi ambientali uniche favorirebbero

Si è creato un mercato economico con regole comuni. La regolamentazione del mercato del lavoro resta,
invece, assai differenziata da paese a paese. Appare necessario, inmnazi tutto, uniformare, norme, diritti,
doveri dei lavoratori. In secondo luogo, occorrono politiche di intervento nelle dinamiche economiche di diretta
emanazione dell'Unione, per affronatare la crisi e per creare coesione tra i diversi popoli.

A mio parere nel campo della ricerca scientifica mancano adeguate politiche comunitarie atte all'

dell' innovazione, del progresso e alla ricerca e la scoperta di nuove soluzioni, idee e proposte capaci di farci
progredire tutti verso una nuova coscienza di un europa unita anche nella ricerca, ma soprattutto anche nel
raggiungimento di nuove mete in ambiti scientifici e non solo. Concretamente propongo di: - incentivare con
politiche di borse di studio TUTTI i ricercatori meritevoli di TUTTI i paesi facenti parte dell' unione europea. -
stanziare risorse per politiche di ricerca coordinate tra i vari stati. - legiferare in campo dei contratti di lavoro
dei ricercatori allegerendo il prelievo fiscale dai magri stipendi. - stanziare risorse e programmare politiche a
lungo termine che servano a sensibilizzare sull' importanza della ricerca in tutti gli aspetti della vita quotidiana.
- legiferare per rendere più stabili le condizioni contrattuali dei ricercatori (adottando sistemi ancor più
meritocratici se necessario...)

La situazione della scuola italiana sta peggiorando di anno in anno. L'attuale governo, così come i precedenti,
hanno cercato di tagliare il più possibile non solo le spese inutili ma anche quelle necessarie. In un periodo
di crisi economica la certezza del lavoro finiti gli stuudi è importante. Per questo la UE dovrebbe muoversi
con misure concrete volte a permettere un aiuto ai giovani universitari in cerca di lavoro. Sto pensando ad
esempio a una banca dati internazionale, gestita dalla UE, dove le aziende possono offrire lavoro e i giovani
pubblicare i propri curriculum.
158. educazione scolastica, energia, economica, ambiente (importance: 82%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 11)
il buon giorno si vede dal mattino!una corretta formazione/educazione scolastica consente agli esseri umani
di imparare ad esprimere il proprio pensiero attraverso l'intelletto e non la forza. Un popolo ignorante non
sarà mai libero e non potrà esprimersi nel futuro. Non imparerà ad utilizzare il pensiero prima della parola,
nonimparerà a costruire bensì a distruggere. Educarsi significa formare il proprio futuro che possibilimente
dovrà esserci in un ambiente pulito e sano.La scuola inoltre, dovrebbe insegnare un lavoro, un mestiere.
Necessario quindi un canale di congiunzione tra scuola e mondo del lavoro con ambienti professionali al
passo con la natura. Essere sani e formati in un mondo malato non porta futuro!

un economia in affanno se i soldi vanno a finire sempre nelle stesse tasche? come si fà ad ottenere dei servizi

La priorità é creare occupazione ampliando il settore della produzione di energia rinnovabile, il risparmio e
l'efficienza energetica, tutelare l'ambiente e il welfare, ampliando la ricerca scientifica e la formazione. Le
centrali nucleari e a carbone sono un pericolo. Occorre ampliare la partecipazione alle decisioni, accogliere
gli stranieri e sostenere i poveri. Non la tutela dei profitti dei privati, delle banche e delle grandi corporation. E'
necessario porre la produzione di beni e servizi sotto controllo pubblico comunitario.

La possibilità di poter usufruire di infrastrutture che aiutino realmente a cercare lavoro, la capacità di dare agli

omogeneizzare la qualità della formazione tanto al Nord quanto al Sud, dove siamo lontani anni -luce di
fatto. I cittadini qui, nella propria città,n non riescono a sentire neache l'odore dell'UE, visto che non sentiamo

servizi, maggiori nfrastrutture che portino il disoccupato ad un reale possibilità di trovare lavoro, controllo
severo su tutta l'attività regionale, i particolare a quella dell'inserimento lavorativo. Noi, siamo di fatto, gli

evaluations: 10)
Mantenere un lavoro è sempre più difficile, specialmente per quelle realtà in cui la depressione economica
è più pesante, ad esempio quelle zone c'è uno spopolamento sempre più marcato e dove la popolazione
invecchia di più e non c'è ricambio generazionale, perciò credo che favorire il lavoro per i giovani e per quegli
adulti che vogliono lavorare in proprio, ma non hanno capitali iniziali sufficienti, sia un investimento sul futuro
del lavoro in Europa. Il problema è che chi come me ha studiato con profitto e conseguito il diploma con
massimi voti, si ritrova a dovere lavorare in un settore diverso da quello per cui ci si è impegnati a studiare e a
sviluppare la propria creatività. questo problema esiste perché è difficile accedere ai contributi pubblici previsti
ad esempio per i giovani imprenditori perché vengono comunque richiesti capitali iniziali in qualche forma (
anche per piccoli progetti di impresa) e onerosissimi carichi fiscali iniziali che scoraggiano quanti vorrebbero
avventurarsi nell'avvio di un'attiività in proprio. Bisogna ridurre gli eccessivi carichi fiscali del sistema
pensionistico che gravano troppo sull'avvio di nuove piccole imprese.

Le aziende italiane sono tartassate, e per questo investono all'estero perchè la manodopera costa molto
meno. Avendo lavoro, ognuno di noi può avere una certa dignità: ognuno sa che può guadagnarsi da vivere.
La Democrazia in Italia è in pericolo, le decisioni vengono prese solo dall'alto. Le idee del popolo non vengono
ascoltate, e molte menti vengono condizionate dalla tv. Chiediamo aiuto alla Comunità Europea, esclusa
l'Italia, ovviamente, di fare qualcosa di concreto per noi giovani. La politica è il nostro futuro, ma c'è una classe
politica che è vecchia di 30 anni, e ci inducono a non farci pensare alla politica distrendoci con programmi
televisivi spazzatura. Libera informazione in libero Stato. Grazie

abbia lavorato 2 anni in qualsiasi azienda . Avrei da scrivere molto ,ma un accenno anche ai politici che non
riducono i costi contributivi all'aziende nell assunzione di personale,non e'il costo dello stipendio che fa paura
ad un azienda nell assumere una persona ma i vari contributi in pieno dal 1 giorno di lavoro,creando cosi un
esasperazione nella resa del nuovo assunto, mentre dovrebbe essere a salire dando la possibilita di crescere

l'insicurezza lavorativa, l'impoverimento culturale e l'ineducazione civica e l'incertezza della pena , hanno
portato l'europa e l'italia in una situazione di forte degrado. bisogna rivedere in un modo appropiato le rgole
sociali che regolano queste situazioni.
185. lavoro e formazione (importance: 81%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 13)
186. Lavoro, salute ed educazione sociale (importance: 81%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 10)
Abbattere i costi del lavoro ed aumentare la competività delle aziende. Sviluppare le fonti rinnovabili e
rispettare l'ambiente. Aiutare gli studenti a trovare una propria identità sociale e una collocazione (anche
momentanea) nel mondo del lavoro. Ri-educare molti genitori che (malgrado l'età) veramente non
comprendono più cosa sia il "bene" per i propri figli. Troppe cose sono state perse come il concetto di famiglia,
il termine insegnamento e la vita sociale. Oggi si vive più come branchi chiusi e non come comunità
187. nella ricerca (importance: 81%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 7)
188. il lavoro (importance: 81%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 11)
i governi sono attanagliati dal problema delle pensioni. attuano politiche che tendono a rimandare al più tardi
possibile il fatto che le persone vadano in pensione. Questo comportamento nuoce gravemente ai giovani che
invece si affacciano in un mndo del lavoro chiuso e settario (almeno in Italia)
189. Istruzione che offra riscontro lavorativo (importance: 81%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 9)
Basta con i cosi di studio che generano disoccupati, corsi di studio con certa soluzione lavorativa,
semplicemente basandosi su quelle che sono le reltà economiche del paese in cui ci si trova.

190. RICERCA SCIENTIFICA (importance: 81%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
Basta combustibili fossili! Il genio di tanti ricercatori va finanziato
191. Idealità comuni. Nuove tecnologie e energie;Ricerca;Ambient (importance: 81%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 9)
Pensare innanzi tutto al mondo in cui viviamo, quindi corretto sfruttamento delle risorse ed impegno
verso energie rinnovabili e risparmio energetico, nuove visioni di gestione del territorio. Esportandole
successivamente verso eventuali aree di interesse (Africa, Sud America, Asia..) Creare una maggiore
consapevolezza europeista. Ricercare una maggior capacità di muoversi unitariamente sulla scena
internazionale, lasciare che un cittadino europeo possa avere uno specifico passaporto; creare finalmente
su base stabile ed allargata un esercito comune e una o due Accademie oppure dei servizi alternativi. Stabili
presenze all'estero di strutture di riferimento per i cittadini che sostituiscano progressivamente le vecchie
ambasciate (in grado di sostenere iniziative economiche, problematiche legate al turismo, agli aspetti
burocratici e così via) Creare università europee di eccellenza o trasformare le preesistenti in qualcosa
di analogo. Rafforzare le reti di università favorendo accorpamenti ed economie di scala e, soprattutto,
l'eccellenza degli insegnamenti e delle frequenze. Da qui in futuro potrebbero uscire politici e tecnici
dell'Unione.
192. permetterci di restare nell'università a fare ricerca (importance: 81%, disagreement: 18, evaluations:

193. Aumentare le opportunità di lavorare all'estero (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 11)
Imparare una lingua e conoscere culture diverse per formarne una comune è più semplice se si hanno contatti
diretti con altre persone di altri paesi. Il lavoro è il modo migliore per creare questi contatti
194. Zviluppo, Ricerca, spazio, norme, innovazione (importance: 81%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 10)
Io credo che non si puo andare avanti se non c'è ne innvoazione basata su zviluppo e ricerca. I punti
sootolineati nella domanda precedente (in breve) sono quasi tutti interconnesse

196. Trasporti, occupazione, ambiente e inquinamento. (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15, evaluations:
12)
Trasporti: favorire il trasporto pubblico rendendolo più efficace ed efficiente negli stati membri. Occupazione:
sì alla flessibilità, ma SOLO se adeguatamente retribuita. Un lavoratore precario deve poter vivere col suo
stipendio. NO ai contratti a tempo determinato che durano anni. Controlli più profondi in materia di sicurezza,
tutelando il lavoratore e non le imprese che infrangono le regole. si possono avere consumi maggiori (e
quindi un'economia funzionante) solo se i lavoratori hanno uno stipendio che possa permettergli acquisti in
più. Ambiente e inquinamento: riduzione progressiva delle centrali nucleari, aumento progressivo delle fonti
di energia rinnovabile, anche con la compravendita dell'energia prodotta (a tariffe eque). Lotta all'abusivismo
edilizio, specie nei paesi a rischio sismico o idrogeologico. Regolamentazione delle costruzioni, specie per
le opere pubbliche. Controllo maggiore sugli appalti, per evitare che il vincitore col prezzo più basso utilizzi
materiali di scarsa qualità, a scapito della sicurezza dei cittadini. Controllo sull'inquinamento delle acque e
delle risorse ambientali da parte di privati e, soprattutto, delle industrie.
197. Garantire il mercato libero dell'energia elettrica (importance: 81%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 5)
Il mercato libero dell'energia e' un'eufemismo. Io vivo a pochi chilometri dal confine, e non posso comperare
la corrente elettrica in Austria, ne posso far venire una consegna di gasolio dall'Austria, dove questi prodotti
costano meno. L'Europa deve realizzare il mercato libero dell'energia, che purtroppo ancora non esiste.

200. Modelli territoriali di sviluppo economico (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 4)
201. lavoro opportunità giovanili (importance: 81%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 10)
Io credo che nella realtà locale e nazionale in cui vivo vengano scarsamente valorizzate le potenzialità e le
competenze dei giovani. L'Unione Europea dovrebbe incrementare i suoi sforzi nei riguardi delle politiche
giovanili anche in riferimento all'imprenditorialità e al sostegno dei progetti professionali e culturali delle nuove
generazioni.
202. Energia & Economia. (importance: 81%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 9)
Costruire un modello economico non basato sul mero calcolo del PIL, del denaro, ma sullo sviluppo di
economie più giuste, più umane e più controllate e controllabili dallo stato. Tappa fondamentale è lo sviluppo
di fonti di energia nuove e rinnovabili, che in un momento di crisi come questo se sovvenzionate a dovere
dallo stato saranno a mio parere soluzioni a due problemi: la crisi (al posto che fare opere pubbliche di tipo
classico, perchè non investire nell'eolico?) e l'energia, appunto.

206. Energie alternative e diritto al lavoro (importance: 81%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 4)
Certo che abbiamo sfruttato a pieno tutte le energie che cia hanno permesso di viaggiare di illuminare le
nostre case, bisogna pensare molto seriamente alle fonti di energie alternative, una volta esaurite le attuali
fonti quali saranno le nuove energie che ci sosterranno, vogliamo sapere, essere informati e sempre essere
testimoni sulle nuove fonti e sui nuovi investimenti che riguardano l'energia. Vogliamo entrare a far parte
dell'unione europea nel più autentico dei modi, vogliamo condividere e contribbuire alle nuove proposte e alle
nuove offerte che ci saranno e mai essereessi da parte. Vogliamo essere protagonisti e artefici del futuro che
ci aspetta.

aiutare chi è in cerca di lavoro, chi lo ha già e pensa di essere in pericolo e dare impulso serio alle imprese
210. Lavoro,economia reale,giustizia sociale (importance: 80%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 12)
Abbiamo tutti potuto vedere come un sistema economico basato sul nulla sia crollato su se' stesso Fin che
non ci renderemo finalmente conto che la vera economia,quella reale,e' data dalle persone che ogni giorno si
recano al lavoro...fanno la spesa...e a suon di sacrifici cambiano l'auto o si fanno la casa,non ne verremo ai
fuori!!!!
211. Trasparenza dei mercati finanziari (importance: 80%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 14)
Obbligare le società quotate in borsa o che sollecitano il pubblico risparmio a rendere pubbliche su siti internet
della u.e. la propria compagine societaria, la sede legale e operativa, e il personale con situazioni di conflitti di
interesse.
212. Sicurezza nei luoghi di lavoro (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 19)
L'UE dovrebbe verificare che le norme nazionali/europee siano fatte rispettare sia attraverso la verifica di
adeguatezza dei fondi stanziati per il finanziamento delle stesse sia attraverso controlli a campione sui luoghi
di lavoro in qualità di "ente indipendente".
213. L'istruzione è l'investimento giusto per il futuro (importance: 80%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 13)
Il contadino non può pretendere che il suo campo produca frutti senza investire un po' di lavoro. Così noi
non possiamo pretendere di avere un Paese progredito senza investire risorse nell'istruzione. Spesso si
sente parlare della disoccupazione e si da la colpa a tante cose, ma non si pensa mai che purtroppo molti
disoccupati sono giovani che hanno conoscenze limitate, nessuna conoscenza specifica e che quindi tendono
ad occupare i medesimi settori già saturi. La conferma che ciò che scrivo è vero, è data dal fatto che insieme
alla disoccupazione coesiste carenza di personale in altri settori, quindi la disoccupazione non è data dalla
carenza di posti di lavoro, ma dalla carenza di istruzione dei giovani che serve per ricoprire quei ruoli. Inoltre
il lavoro può ESSERE CREATO da persone che hanno sufficienti conoscenze, idee e spirito di iniziativa, tutte
cose che la scuola deve coltivare e accrescere. Particolare attenzione si deve prestare anche alla qualità
degli insegnanti, che talvolta non sono all'altezza del loro delicato compito. L'ignoranza è molto pericolosa,
sbarazziamocene.
214. progresso, nuove tecnologie (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 11)
per consentire a tutti di fare una vita migliore risparmiando tempo lavorativo senza abbassare il livello del
denaro. con i computer invece si sono persi posti di lavoro e aggiunta ricchezza ai privati.
215. Più lavoro a tutti + controlli sulle speculazioni economich (importance: 80%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 8)
La possibilità d migliorare la propria economia deve essere alla portata d tutti bisogna supportare le piccole
imprese + d quelle grandi e incentivando chi vuole aprire un' attività propria con fondi perduti.Si deve
finalmente mettere regole che obblighino gli importatori a scrivere in modo evidente e completo la produzione
dei prodotti di modo che il consumatore possa acquistare con consapevolezza sapendone l'origine e tutti i
suoi spostamenti.bisogna render +competitive le nostre aziende disincentivando l'importazione di prodotti da
paesi in cui l diritti umani non son rispettati riducendo le persone in schiavitù per produrre prodotti low - cost

217. L'Ue deve investire in ricerca,ambiente,spostamenti (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 19)
La ricerca è il punto di partenza di ogni progresso umano. L'ambiente invece deve essere frutto di attenzioni
onde evitare lo sviluppo aggressivo - perchè ricordiamoci che la Terra è la nostra casa -. Per quanto riguarda
gli spostamenti intendo dire che l'operaio o comunque il lavoratore portoghese o di qualsiasi altro paese Ue
deve essere messo nelle condizioni di poter andare altrove e di riformare le condizioni ideali di vita per lui e la
sua famiglia
218. scuola, ambiente, salute dei lavoratori (importance: 80%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 14)
Ci vuole una più incisiva educazione al vivere democratico, nessuno deve prevaricare sull'altro, la scuola
in questo senso può insegnare molto. Credo che una educazione al rispetto ambientale da parte di coloro
che operano nel settore dell'agricoltura avrebbe buone ricadute nel futuro prossimo: ridurre l'uso di pesticidi
diserbanti nell'agricoltura porterebbe ad una drastica riduzione delle patologie ad esse correlate.
219. favorire la ricerca di lavoro europea e lo spostamento (importance: 80%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 11)
il lavoro deve essere più europa-centrico, le agenzie devono fornire non solo il lavoro locale ma anche
far presente dove la stessa funzione venga cercata per l'europa. favorire quindi l'alloggio lavorativo con
programmi per lo spostamento all'interno dell'area europea.
220. Adeguamento tecnologico (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 15)
Non produciamo praticamente nulla di tutto quanto sta divenendo d'uso quotidiano, dai piccoli elettrodomestici
ai grandi computer. Ne siamo solo utilizzatori e anche in questo siamo incompetenti. L'uso delle nuove
tecnologie sarebbe auspicabile
221. Nel lavoro e togliere il più possibile gli sprechi (importance: 80%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
Se c'è lavoro c'è economia, quindi tutto il resto viene di conseguenza.... Ecologia, sicurezza ecc. Ma vedo che
ci sono tantissimi sprechi soprattutto a livello politico per accontentare le varie parti, soprattutto qui in Italia, il
mio paese è il paese degli spechi.
222. sicurezza, economia e rispetto dei diritti dei cittadini (importance: 80%, disagreement: 10,
evaluations: 9)
la politica ue sull'ommigrazione è un fallimento, il parlamento europeo non serve a nulla
223. Lavoro e poltiiche sociali (importance: 80%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 17)
Vorrei un mercato del lavoro più integrato e maggiori opportunità per noi ragazzi. Vorrei una rete di politiche
sociali più efficace in sostegno di tutti i cittadini (welfare, sanità, programmi per i giovani).

229. Piu' ricerca scientifica, piu' networking, ... come in USA! (importance: 79%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 13)
In Europa la ricerca scientifica e' cenerentola. In certi paesi piu' che in altri. Il "lagging behind" del Processo di
Lisbona lo dimostra ampiamente. In aggiunta le organizzazioni scientifiche dei paesi si parlano pochissimo.
Negli USA abbiamo una ricerca USA, in Europa abbiamo una ricerca Italiana, Tedesca, Inglese, ecc. Gli
sforzi Europei sono enormi, ma la "resistenza" all'innovazione pure! Fare agenzie non basta! In aggiunta a
cio' vediamo in diversi paesi diversi trattamenti dei ricercatori: in alcuni si hanno meritocrazia e trattamento
finanziario/contrattuale equo. In altri (tipo in Italia ove vivo) si hanno "baronie" e precariato: un ricercatore
francese a 30 anni ha un contratto di lavoro pagato bene, in Italia un ricercatore quarantenne ha una borsa
di studio coma quando aveva 25 anni ed e' pagato quanto un commesso di supermercato part-time! I
ricercatori se ne vanno. La ricerca e' fndamentale per l'Europa. Alcuni paesi eccellono, alcuni no. Altro caso
per il principio di sussidiarieta': un sistema unico in tutta l'Europa per gestione, contratti, nomine, ecc. in
questo settore strategico. Non e' possibile che una cosa vitale per lo sviluppo come la ricerca venga trattata
in maniera totalmente differenziata: con la carta dei diritti e doveri del ricercatore qualcosa si e' fatto ... ma la
carta e' solo una carta ... la realta' e' molto piu' dura! Il ricercatore in italia non e' uno scienziato, ma un caso
sociale ... e' un povero altamente qualificato!
230. Migliorare le condizioni di lavoro dei dipendenti. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 17, evaluations:
11)
Evitare di imporre budget sempre più difficili da conseguire, "obbligando" a volte i dipendenti a pratiche
non totalmente corrette nei confronti dei clienti per raggiungere i pesanti obiettivi assegnati. Tornare quindi
ad in modus operandi più normale, limitando anche gli elevatissimi utili che ogni anno si portano a casa le
multinazionali e le grandi corporazioni finanziarie.
231. disincentivare le industrie UE che non producono nella UE (importance: 79%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 12)
L'industria ha uno scopo sociale:creare reddito per le famiglie. Se tutte trasferiscono la produzione in Oriente
per i bassi costi, licenziando dipendenti e/o chiudendo le unità produttive europee, la popolazione si ritrova
senza reddito e non può sostenere l'economia con gli acquisti.
232. sanità, fiscalità e economia. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 10)
sanità perchè tutti i cittadini hanno diritto ad avere la stessa possibilità di cura e aspettativa di vita
indipendentemente da dove si risiede p.s. in italia non è così il nord ha strutture sanitarie molto più avanzate
ripetto al sud italia. Fiscalità perchè la pressione fiscale è troppo alta e la burocrazia è invivibile, le nuove
aperture di attività economiche sono veramente delle imprese titaniche in quanto qualsiasi funzionario che
deve effettuare un controllo x rilasciare l'autorizzazione da un interpretazione propria alle norme. economia in
quanto la vera crisi che nessuno intende capire è che in europa non si produce più anzi non è che nessuno
vuole capire è che la politica è capitalizzata e quindi se un imprenditore deve guadagnare non si fa scrupoli
a lasciare a casa 1500 lavoratori ne assumerà 3000 in polonia dove il costo del lavoro è a livelli minimi, in
questo l'europa deve trovare il modo e la soluzione di tutelare i cittadini perchè se il lavoro lo si perde l'europa
non esiste più, in questo si dovrebbe fare una politica protettiva.. magari anche mettendo dei dazi sulla merce
prodotta in paesi in cui non vi è la tutela del lavoratore in modo da rendere più sconveniente la vendita. E' per
questo che il pil dei paesi non cresce e non capisco come sia possibile che nessuno faccia nulla.

Non c'è un'economia buoba o una cattiva, ma quella che fa il bene o il della gente. In nome di politiche
economiche dimostratesi tremendamente sbagliate, si sono combattute e si stanno attualmente combattendo
guerre disastrose, sia in temini di vite che di imbarbarimento del genere umano. Invece di puntare a soluzioni
economiche basate sull'interscambio di risorse (come in una grande famiglia), si continua a portare avanti
soluzioni che alla fine presenteranno il conto: troppo spesso salato per tutti, a cominciare dagli strateghi che
l'avevano pensate.

238. Dovrebbe concentrare i propri sforzi nel campo lavorarativo. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 14)
L'Italia è una repubblica fondata sul lavoro, e il lavoro nobilità l'uomo. Per cui dal mio punto di vista se
manca il lavoro mancano le basi della società e non solo. Garantire che la gente possa esercitare la propria
professione con dignità e sicurezza sarebbe fondamentale. Dal punto di vista dell'UE, l'UE dovrebbe sforzarsi
in campo internazionale di salvaguardare i propri lavoratori ed evitare che ci siano squilibri concorrenziali a
livello di mercato globale.
239. Incentivare l'impresa personale in europa. (importance: 79%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 7)
Fare in modo che sia più facile aprire attività negli altri paesi dell'unione, aiutare la possibilità al singolo di
creare un'impresa in un paese diverso da quello di origine.
240. Pari opportunita' legge sul lavoro e anti discriminazione (importance: 79%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 10)
ma vi rendete conto che in italia gli annunci di lavoro tutti i giorni specificano chi cercano uomo donna, quanti
anni e a volte anche altre cose assurde e inpensate? ma nn basta essere abili e competenti per svolgere il
lavoro? per forza solo le donne possono essere segretarie e gli uomini operai? ma siamo nel 1200?? L'italia
nn merita di stare in europa per le continue violazioni ai diritti umani fondamentali che fa' sia sulla costituzione
europea che su quella della UN. Vergogna.
241. L'UE dovrebbe investire di più per favorire l'occupazione (importance: 79%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 12)
L'UE dovrebbe investire più risorse nella formazione, nell'incontro tra domanda e offerta di lavoro, troppo
spesso in mano a privati senza scrupoli, dovrebbe consentire agli Stati un maggiore indebitamento vincolato
alla detassazione del lavoro dipendente, soprattutto nelle aree più depresse economicamente. Dovrebbe
inoltre intervenire per uniformare gli standards dei titoli di studio secondari e universitari, oggi ne esistono
migliaia che rendono difficile l'orientamento per gli studenti che devono scegliere il proprio corso di studi e le
imprese che devono valutare chi assumere. Investire sul lavoro significa essere più competitivi sul mercato
globale e rendere i cittadini più felici, poichè in grado di pianificare e godere di una vita serena.
242. Garantendo dei fondi alle grandi aziende solo se innovative (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 11)
Le grandi aziende, specie quelle automovilistiche sono ancora ei dinosauri per quel che riguarda la tecnologia.
Non ci sono state delle vere rivoluzioni sia per quel che rigarda la tecnologia evolutiva che per quel che
rigarda l'ecologia. Se un europeo non acquista un auto è per un semplice motivo: tanto non cambia nulla.
I vantaggi dell'acquisire un auto nuova non sono abbastanza considerevoli rispetto alla vacchia auto:
funzinano entrambe a petroleo, occupano lo stesso spazio, mi constano lo stesso sia in gestione, allora
perchè cambiare?. Non esiste quel motivo che mi faccia cambiare tecnologia. cosi restiamo ancora con quella
vecchia inquinante.

247. nell' università, nei tirocini e nella ricerca (importance: 78%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 13)
Credo che l' Unione europea dvrebbe aiutare i ragazzi con esigue risorse economiche a completare il
percorso di studi universitario in quanto le borse di studio offerte dal nostro Paese sono spesso insuficienti.
Inoltre bisognerebbe favorire gli scambi Erasmus negli altri Paesi dell'unione a costo zero o per lo meno
offrendo aiuti economici consistenti per effettuare periodi di tirocinio o studio negli altri Paesi. Io frequento
il primo anno di Infermieristica e l'anno prossimo vorrei andare in Spagna per qualche mese col progetto
Erasmus ed effettuare il periodo di tirocinio nelle strutture ospedaliere spagnole soprattutto per capire e
vedere come funziona lì la sanità . Purtroppo ciò sarà molto difficile perchè oltre a continuare a pagarel'affitto
qua in Italia dovrò pagarmelo anche in Spagna oltre al viaggio e tutto il resto a mio carico.

248. Le energie vanno investite nel creare posti di lavoro (importance: 78%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 9)
Uno dei maggiori limiti dell'Unione Europea a mio avviso e' la mancanza di una politica comune a tutti i paesi
nel settore del lavoro. Se tutti i paesi dell'Unione attuassero una politica di occupazione diffusa, per ridurre
la distanza tra aziende e cittadini e tra agenti di impiego pubblico e singoli lavoratori, allora si colmerebbe un
vuoto istituzionale particolarmente sentito dagli abitanti d'Europa. La proposta e' quella di creare dei centri
dell'impiego su scala europea, con un personale formato ad assistere sia da un punto di vista linguistico
che dell'orientamento, i potenziali candidati ad entrare o a ricollocarsi nel mondo del lavoro. I cittadini iscritti
alle liste di collocamento europee, verrebbero avvisati rispetto alle nuove opportunita' che di volta in volta
emergono e avrebbero nei centri per l'occupazione un interlocutore di riferimento nei momenti piu' cruciali
della ricerca di un nuovo impiego.

250. Salute, ambiente sano, tutela delle donne e del lavoro. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 15)
La salute dei cittadini è un bene primario e va tutelato. Per fare questo, è necessario intensificare i controlli
e punire più duramente i crimini contro l'ambiente. Il lavoro costituisce la forma di libertà più tangibile di cui
una persona possa fruire. Essendo la libertà il principio fondamentale della democrazia, è necessario, per il
bene dei singoli, ma anche delle comunità e delle aziende stesse datrici di lavoro, che i lavoratori siano tutelati
contro le speculazioni barbare nei loro confronti, sopratutto se donne. Le donne sono da sempre la parte
debole della società, quelle da cui la società pretende di più e da di meno. Andrebbero facilitate per il loro
doppio lavoro (lavoro per famiglia, figli, casa, e poi lavoro esterno), non ostacolate, come attualmente si fa.

I servizi pubblici e i pubblici dipendenti sono al servizio della comunità e e servizi resi devono avere lo stesso
livello di qualità, quindi contratto di lavoro europeo.
255. costo della vita, miglioramento condizioni lavorative (importance: 78%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 15)
Ritengo che l'Unione Europea debba impegnarsi affinchè tutti i lavoratori dei paesi membri possano il più
possibile godere di condizioni lavorative che permettano loro di condurre uno stile di vita adeguato, possano
crearsi una famiglia e fare progetti. Esiste un abisso tra gli stipendi in Italia in confronto ad altri paesi della
stessa Europa. Inoltre la cosiddetta "mobilità" europea di cui si è tanto parlato in realtà è uno specchio
per le allodole. E' ancora difficilissimo trovare lavoro all'estero perchè gli sportelli Eures all'atto pratico non
funzionano.
256. lavoro , sicurezza , fonti energ.rinnov.e non integrative (importance: 78%, disagreement: 12,

in visione di una più determinata visione europeista , vorrei che l'Unione Europea si basasse su principi reali
di quotidianità ed esigenze del cittadino europeo non solo basando la sua visione primaria verso un indirizzo
di tipo economico ma anche verso un indirizzo politico e sociale riposto sul rispetto , dignità e solodarietà . In
parole più concrete avere il coraggio di costituire e costruire una Europa più umana e meno burocrate .

259. Necessità di contratti di lavoro europei (importance: 78%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 15)
Secondo me è necessario, anche se per alcuni è utopistico, fare dei contratti di lavoro europei e non più
nazionali. Per europei intendo per i paesi che hanno adottato l'Euro. Non è possibile che un operaio medio
basso (cioè la maggioranza) in Italia prenda 1.000 - 1.200 Euro al mese ed in Germania guadagni circa 1.600-
1800 Euro netti! Come si potrà sviluppare l'Europa? E' come se in Italia ci fosse un contratto per la Lombardia
ed uno per la Sicilia, secondo Voi sarebbe possibile? NO! Battiamoci e battetevi per il contratto unico europeo.

260. Nella possibilità di avere un lavoro inerente agli studi. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 21,
evaluations: 15)
Ogni giovane deve avere la possibilità di coltivare un pecorso. Non dovrebbe avere tempi di stop. Nelmio
caso, ho iniziato una carriera di tecnologoalimentare che, dopo gli studi, a parte un breve stage, non ha
trovato altri sbocchi inerenti al campo.
261. L'unione Europea si dovrebbe occupare dei principi etici (importance: 78%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 13)
LA classe politica dei vari stati è soggetta alle pressioni delle Lobby e molte decisioni vengono prese per
difendere gli interessi dei gruppi di potere. Inoltre i cittadini vengono influenzati e manovrati soprattutto dalla
televisione. Se l'UE si dedicasse alla gestione ordinaria farebbe la fine dei singoli governi ovvero prenderebbe
decisioni sotto la spinta e l'influenza delle lobby. Penso che l'UE dovrebbe occuparsi dei grandi principi etici
a cui i governi dei singoli stati devono attenersi e controllare che questi non vengano infranti. L'Italia con il
conflitto di interessi del suo presidente del consiglio e un clamoroso esempio per questo. Nel ventunesimo
secolo con la capacità di indirizzo e di controllo che i mezzi di informazione hanno sull'opinione pubblica
parlare di elezioni democratiche senza che i cittadini abbiano la possibilità di avere delle informazioni vere
che gli consentano di comprendere effettivamente qual'è la realta e quali sono i meccanismo che determinano
le scelte dei governi è relativo. Questo è vero non solo per l'Italia. Il costante degrado della scuola pubblica,
l'abbrutimento da dosi massicce di televisione, il concetto che la televisione "libera" sia libera di fare audience
anche facendo leva sugli aspetti peggiore dell'animo umano rendono la società poco democratica e allo stato
nessuno difende i cittadini da questo. Il concetto che il libero mercato si autoregola maschera la realtà che i
più furbi dispongono degli inermi. Chi li d

263. nella sicurezza sul lavoro (importance: 78%, disagreement: 6, evaluations: 6)
265. Dare lavoro ai giovani (importance: 78%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 15)
Dare incentivi alle aziende del settore privato, affinchè assumano con contratti a "tempo indeterminato"
e "tempo determinato" , quindi NON ATICIPICI, ai giovani laureati della Regione Liguria. Nella mia città,
Genova, è molto difficile poter trovare lavoro con queste modalità contrattuali perchè le naziende tendono
a non assumere o a impiegare i giovani con contratti precari. Lo sforzo e la presenza da parte dell'Unione
Europea si dovrebbe tradurre nell'incentivazione verso le aziende ad assumere giovane forza lavoro laureata
con modalità contrattuali stabili.
266. opportunità di lavoro CONCRETE per giovani (importance: 78%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 10)
Sebbene laureata, non riesco a trovare lavoro nel mio settore (cooperazione allo sviluppo umano e rurale)
perchè nella maggior parte dei casi i posti sono occupati da persone senza adeguati titoli di studio/non
competenti ed entrati per conoscenze e raccomandazioni. I concorsi sono risaputamnete mere formalità. Noi
studenti così finiamo per iscriverci a corsi su corsi di specializzazione (io attualmente sto frequentando un
master) nella speranza che le nostre chances migliorino.. Mancano, in ogni caso, delle adeguate strutture di
orientamento sia in uscita dalle scuole superiori, sia ancor di piu all'uscita dall'università.
267. DIRITTI UMANI E LAVORO (importance: 78%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 13)
Rendre sempre più l'uomo libero e non sfruttato nel mondo del lavoro, morti sul lavoro, malattie professionali,
lavoro in nero. Creare lavoro per i giovani.
268. Garantire il rispetto di condizioni lavorative dignitose (importance: 78%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 11)
Il controllo delle condizioni lavorative significa garantire il rispetto delle persone, spostando il piano della
concorrenza, che attualmente è tra lavoratore dipendente e lavoratori precario o peggio clandestini, al piano
del confronto tra imprese. Impedire lo sfruttamento del lavoro "nero" significa controllare l'immigrazione e
impedire lo sviluppo di imprese controllate dalle mafie e camorre. Garantire il lavoro flessibile implica che chi
accetta un impiego a tempo determinato deve essere retribuito maggiormente per la flessibilità che mette a
disposizione dell'azienda e non essere sottopagato o pagato con scadenze a loro volta "flessibili". Il lavoro
flessibile, almeno ora in Italia, è una forma di crumiraggio legalizzato.

270. Commercio locale (importance: 78%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 11)
Per me è inutile pagare 5€ una cosa che al produttore costa 0,02€! Pagare così tanto per trasportare un
prodotto non è conveniente, è come se fosse un'altra dogana e l'unione è stata fatta per togliere le dogane!
271. Infrastrutture e servizi pubblici, tecnologie, sociale (importance: 78%, disagreement: 14, evaluations:
10)
Penso che le aree in cui l'UE dovrebbe investire le proprie energie e risorse consistano nel potenziare le
infrastrutture e i servizi pubblici a livello internazionale. Coordinare i lavori per centri di eccellenza in ambito
scientifico/tecnologico in cui i giovani possano avviare e/o portare avanti le proprie iniziative. Maggiore
supporto a start-up scientifiche/tecnologiche fornendo loro infrastrutture, accesso a fondi europei e risorse.

Vorrei che l'Europa obbligasse i Paesi appartenenti all'Unione a creare nidi d'infanzia per tutte le aziende
della pubblica amministrazione al di sopra dei 40 dipendenti. E vorrei che le donne lavoratrici e madri (ovvero
anche padri) abbiano dei permessi lavorativi in più durante l'età scolastica dei loro figli.

Piano casa a livello europeo, diritto ad una casa di propietà e ed affitti contenuti in base al costo dela vita nei
singoli paesi europei.

gli strumenti attuali (eures, europass) non bastano per creare un mercato unico del lavoro europeo
279. iniziative riguardanti il mondo del lavoro in UE (importance: 77%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 5)
facilitare la reperibilità delle informazioni, divulgare divulgare divulgare. Semplificare il processo burocratico,
armonizzare le informazioni riguardanti, titoli di studio e varie.

_lavoro: 1) io svolgo il mio lavoro e verso il 52% di tasse, solo che io veramente verso tutte le tasse per i lavori
che svolgo, e questo mi impedisce di fare qualsiasi investimento per il mio futuro, inquanto manca il capitale
base. Le tasse mi mangiano i guadagni, non posso ammalarmi e quando andro in pensione, dovro rivolgermi
ai servizi sociali per mangiare. troppe tasse per i liberi professionisti!! nessun futuro!!! MAFIA? io lavoro e
pago regolarmente le tasse, ma se voglio entrare in una grande azienda, molte volte mi negano il permesso
di ingresso, anche se la mia attivita è svolta con 100% della regolarità fiscale. non esiste un certificato che lo
stato rilascia, che da diritto a chi versa i contributi regolarmente di entrare in tutte le aree di lavoro. pertanto ho
subito e subisco questo danno. _casa: vorrei rinnovare lacune cose, ma la casa non è intestata a me, e allora
io non rientro nei benefici della deduzione. la casa rimane cosi fin che non cade _governo: stanziamento degli
aiuti economici alle banche??? ( Tremonti te la suoni e te la ascolti tutta da solo, tu e i tuoi clienti) _economia:

la ricerca e l'istruzione sono le basi fondamentali x lo sviluppo di un popolo, se nn investiamo in quello nn ci
può essere futuro. Abbiamo bisogno anche di una politica più trasparente, noi nn sappiamo cosa fanno gli
eurodeputati e la sensazione è che i nostri rappresentanti siano figure reciclate interessate solo a prendere
soldi pubblici, almeno per quanto riguarda noi italiani...

284. Produzione industriale di energia dal fotovoltaico (importance: 77%, disagreement: 26, evaluations:
14)
Al momento il fotovoltaico è una tecnologia immatura e costosa, che non garantisce un adeguato ritorno
al privato che investa in autonomia. Invece dovrebbero essere le grandi compagnie elettriche ad investire
in massa in tal senso. Il modello dovrebbe essere simile a quello della telefonia mobile: affittare i lastrici
solari degli immobili e ricoprirli di pannelli fotovoltaici. In questo modo si ridurrebbero anche i consumi
energetici relativi al condizionamento degli appartamenti agli ultimi piani che si troverebbero "all'ombra" e
si utilizzerebbero solo gli immobili col tetto piatto senza alcun particolare valore storico ed estetico. Infine si
darebbe una spinta importante all'evoluzione delle tecnologie connesse, perché grandi aziende abituate a
costruire centrali nucleari o a carbone dai notevoli costi occulti avrebbero la determinazione e le adeguate
risorse finanziare per sostituire i pannelli con quelli di tecnologia più innovativa.
285. in quelle aree svantaggiate dal punto di vista economico. (importance: 77%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 5)
in alcune aree geografiche sono molto evidenti i segni di un'arretratezza economica. a mio avviso
bisognerebbe creare delle commissioni di esperti che interagiscono con la popolazione locale e con le risorse
stesse di questi territori per creare dei progetti " in loco" onde tentare una ripresa e un riaggangio delle aree
sottosviluppate alla "grande economia". ecc. ecc.
286. Educazione, lavoro, e sicurezza (importance: 77%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 10)
Per l'educazione ho gia risposto prima. Lavoro perche ad ognuno serve ed é conesso con l'intero ciclo della
vita, e Sicurezza perche se non cè sicurezza non é possibile tutto questo, e perche la maggior parte della
gente se lo dimentica.
287. Leggi uniche sui contratti lavorativi (importance: 77%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 7)
Il precariato è una piaga di più di un paese europeo. Occorre evitare che si creino dei flussi migratori interni
a causa del diffondersi del precariato (soprattutto in paesi come l'Italia e la Spagna). Una riforma europea
che dia per lo meno direttive in tal senso credo che sia utile ed avvertita dalla popolazione di quelle zone
dell'Unione che più soffrono di questo male.
288. Creare lavore nell'area culturale e giovanile (importance: 77%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 8)
I vari casi per riempire un modulo per azioni e fondi Europei bisogna perdere troppo tempo. Ma veramente
pensate che un gruppo di giovani possa riempire un modulo di 44 pagine ed essere accetati? Penso che
c'e bisogno di rivedere le politiche culturali per difendere e non uccidere tramite una pazza politica di
multiculturalismo le nostre culture, usandole come fonti di reddito aggiunto.

L'Europa dovrebbe parlare all'estero con una voce sola per avere maggiori possibilità anche nel dirimere le
questioni internazionali. Migliorare il coordinamento nella gestione delle risorse ambientali e d economiche per
un loro sfruttamento più razionale,anche verso il resto del mondo
Per quanto riguarda il lavoro l' Europa dovrebbe cercare di creare nei Paesi dell'Unione maggiori opportunità
di lavoro e migliore trattamento economico specialmente nei Paesi "new entry" come quelli dell'est, in modo
da non creare massicce ondate migratorie tra i Paesi dell'Unione in modo da evitare tensioni sociali ed
economiche.

Nel combattere la discriminazione contro omosessuali, disabili, etnie e religioni diverse. Puntare su fonti di
energia rinnovabile, eliminando il nucleare e puntando sulle energie più adatte ai singoli paesi. Lavoro per i
giovani, possibilità di inserimento semplificato in paesi europei differenti dal proprio. Uguaglianza per tutti, pari
diritti, giustizia e rispetto delle leggi.
295. Potenziare le infrastrtture economiche e sociali della citt� (importance: 76%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 7)
Impiegando risorse economiche nel potenziamento delle infrastrutture portuali, urbane e sociali della città si
potrà far fronte alle sfide future elevando lo standard di sviluppo economico. Di pari passo l'incremento della
ricerca scientifica e degli istituti di formazione superiore consentirà di devolvere alla protezione dell'ambiente
e alla salute dei cittadini una parte aggiuntiva di risorse che si sommeranno a quelle destinate alle attività
economiche per favorire uno sviluppo più armonioso delle politiche sociali ed economiche con giovamento
delle categorie professionali e del tessuto cittadino. Scienza, trasporti e salute dunque ma anche progetti
per rivitalizzare l'arredo urbano (ad esempio il restauro del palazzo dell'Agenzia delle entrate in centro città,
in condizioni pietose). Prioritaria è la cooperazione regionale in difesa del mare e della montagna. Il settore
turistico cittadino richiede investimenti e la realizzazione di servizi che consentano alle aziende di proliferare
a vantaggio dei viaggiatori europei. Un'agricoltura di qualità nel Carso richiede poi investimenti con ricadute
territoriali e sulla valorizzazione dei prodotti tipici. Percorsi tematici enogastronomici, percorsi ciclabili,
appuntamenti teatrali, museali, potenziamento delle risorse destinate alla cultura attraverso una gestione
attenta alle esigenze giovanili, con riguardo ai festival cinematografici, musicali e ludiche. Aspetti dove
l'intervento pubblico e privato può esaltarsi.
296. incidere sull'occupazione in maniera integrata (importance: 76%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 15)
L'UE dovrebbe imprimere un impulso comunitarioalle politiche del lavoro giovanile e al mercato del lavoro dei
vari paesi. In Italia viviamo situazioni assurde in cui, ad esempio, un giovane medico specialista ospedaliero,
assunto con contratto a termine, prende poco più di mille euro, sapendo che il suo posto è precario. Ed è così
in quasi tutti i settori del lavoro giovanile. Se neanche anni e anni di studi non ripagano adeguatamente le
aspettative occupazionali, perchè questi giovani dovrebbro impegnarsi a sudiare? Infatti la scuola in Italia non
ha più alcun senso e alcuno sbocco. Saluti, Nadia Pistaro

Ci deve essere una commissione di ricerca super-partes che coordini l'attività di tutti gli atenei, cosicchè
anche i piccoli centri diano un senso a quello che stanno facendo. Per esempio il reparto di ematologia di
Siena è piccolo e isolato, l'operato dei pochi dottori al suo interno rimane quasi fine a se stesso perchè non ci
sono i numeri in quanto a pazienti per validare o falsificare nuove terapie.

Ci sono forti disuguaglianze, viste da un osservatorio speciale come le Acli Vicentine, nelle condizioni
lavorative: la rivoluzione digitale ha avuto un forte impatto sull'organizzazione del lavoro, trasformando anche
il più semplice dei ruoli in senso orizzontale (lean), trasferendo psicologicamente parte del rischio d'impresa a
tutti i ruoli.
302. soprattutto nella scuola, ma anche nel mondo del lavoro. (importance: 76%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 10)
In Italia non abbiamo una forte coscienza della cittadinanza europea. A scuola lo studio dell' Unione europea è
parecchio trascurato. Non abbiamo le capacità e la preparazione per valutare le decisioni degli organi europei,
per cui nono possiamo comprendere questi cambiamenti che ci riguardano in quanto cittadini europei. Anche
i politici non mi sembrano consapevoli più di tanto di far parte di questo organismo sovranazionale. Concludo:
w il trattato di Lisbona!!!
Garantire pari condizioni per l'imprenditorialità, nel rispetto delle diverse realtà e specializzazioni territoriali e

Contribuzioni alle imprese solo alla realizzazione di effettivo sviluppo per il paese. Abbandonare l'idea di

che l'Italia.
314. nell'area sociale ed economica (importance: 75%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 7)
evaluations: 6)
I fenomeni che ci coinvolgono quotidianamente hanno ormai carattere sovranazionale. Per questo è
necessario che l'Unione Europea sia capace di dare direzione ed impulso alle politiche nazionali. In
particolare mi riferisco alle politiche sociali e quindi alla qualità della vita. Il tema del lavoro anzitutto, che
sia un lavoro non precario per dare a tutti un senso di prospettiva nella vita. E poi il tema dell'ambiente, che
investe direttamente o indirettamente la vita di tutti i cittadini europei: è arrivato il momento in cui l'Unione
Europea, svincolata da lobbies che distorcono la democrazia, diventi il faro assieme agli USA della lotta
allo sfruttamento indiscriminato delle risorse e si faccia promotrice di politiche forti a sostegno delle energie
rinnovabili, di una agricoltura sana che punti alla qualità ed alla sicurezza alimentare. Vanno ribaditi inoltre
i diritti fondamentali dell'uomo come la libertà e l'uguaglianza, che oggi si declinano anche con il diritto
di accesso all'acqua come bene vitale, all'informazione come strumento essenziale per una democrazia
compiuta, alle pari opportunità per entrambi i sessi di contare ed esprimersi nella società. Insomma, una
UE dei diritti e delle responsabilità, che sappia governare e indirizzare i processi economici e non esserne
succube.

Il sostegno alle fasce di popolazioni in difficoltà dovrebbe essere una preoccupazione non solo dei singoli
paesi ma anche della EU che con progetti di ampio respiro dovrebbe promuovere politiche rivolte ai cittadini
che non trovano o perdono il lavoro. La ricerca scientifica e tecnologica in alcuni paesi della UE è mortificata
dalle politiche nazionali, la UE dovrebbe fare da traino per questi paesi.

320. Salari dei politici (importance: 75%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 10)
Se si obbligano i politici ad avere salari in linea coi salari minimi o poco più del paese, e gli si toglie la
possibilità di avere altri introiti durante i loro mandati,coprendo solo le spese istituzionali, avremo una
classe politica che punterà a fare buoni lavori, togliendo condizionamenti e aspirazioni ad essere politici per
gadagnare. Dare un numero massimo di incarichi pubblici, politici e istituzionali alle persone,così da avere un
ricambio e togliere chi gira da poltrona a poltrona solo per nepotismo,parentelismo,amicizie e conoscenze.
Anche loro saranno obbligati a fare altri lavori non oagati dal pubblico. Favorire e migliorare il rapporto di
assunzioni e scambio tra privati e pubblici.

Credo che le priorità siano nel lavoro e nella formazione dei giovani. Sono un ricercatore universitrio che
soffre direttamente la sperequazione fra centri della ricerca e della formazione così differenziati nelle nazioni
europee. In Italia, fanalino di coda quasi in tutto, non si intravede alcun futuro, né per la ricerca né per le
giovani generazioni. Vero è che esistono fortissime responsabilità dei governi nazionali, ma un maggiore
coinvolgimento dei cittadini nelle politiche europee, contribuisce a formare maggiore consapevolezza. Per

Oltre ad investire nelle risorse umane (istruzione e mercato del lavoro), bisogna cercare di integrare

L'Unione dovrebbe svilupparsi come entità statale federale, promuovendo una lingua comune, istituendo un

istituzioni governative ma lo scopo deve essere quello di creare un sistema di valori e di idee unicamente
europeo a livello politico e ideologico che rappresenti un unicum rispetto al resto del mondo. L'Europa è un

Si potrebbero organizzare dei corsi europei per il lavoro in cui si favorisce l'incontro tra domanda ed offerta di
lavoro in modo centralizzato per tutta l'europa attraverso forum o database. All'interno dello stesso progetto,
per facilitare tale scambio tra paesi, si potrebbero attivare dei corsi di lingue (di perferzionamento o corsi
base) per i giovani che intendono lavorare in un paese europeo ma che non hanno conoscenze linguistiche
adatte. Tali corsi dovrebbero essere attivati parallelamente in più città per ogni paese membro, in modo da
avere una maggiore copertura ed efficacia del servizio stesso.

e alla salute dei cittadini una parte aggiuntiva di risorse che si sommeranno a quelle destinate alle attività
economiche per favorire uno sviluppo più armonioso delle politiche sociali ed economiche con giovamento
delle categorie professionali e del tessuto cittadino. Scienza, trasporti e salute dunque ma anche progetti
per rivitalizzare l'arredo urbano (ad esempio il restauro del palazzo dell'Agenzia delle entrate in centro città,
in condizioni pietose). Prioritaria è la cooperazione regionale in difesa del mare e della montagna. Il settore
turistico cittadino richiede investimenti e la realizzazione di servizi che consentano alle aziende di proliferare
a vantaggio dei viaggiatori europei. Un'agricoltura di qualità nel Carso richiede poi investimenti con ricadute
territoriali e sulla valorizzazione dei prodotti tipici. Percorsi tematici enogastronomici, percorsi ciclabili,
appuntamenti teatrali, museali, potenziamento delle risorse destinate alla cultura attraverso una gestione
attenta alle esigenze giovanili, con riguardo ai festival cinematografici, musicali e ludiche. Aspetti dove
l'intervento pubblico e privato può esaltarsi.
341. Contributi per settori economici svantagiati, formazione. (importance: 73%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 8)
Bisogna aiutare i settori svantagiati sul mercato come l'agricoltura, e far in modo che gli imprenditori agricoli
sappiano immettere i propri prodotti direttamente sul mercato dei consumatori. Bisogna incentivare tutti
quei produttori agricoli che hanno in progetto il CONFEZIONAMENTO e la VENDITA DIRETTA dei prodotti
alimentari, ma per questo nel campo (e nei campi) ci vogliono delle figure esperte e professionali, che
mancano totalmente. Chi frequenta i mercati agricoli conosce la salubrità e la qualità dei prodotti rispetto alle
grandi distibuzioni che ne aquistano grandi quantità a poco prezzo. Se queste iniziative verranno attuate,
a noi consumatori ci aspeterà un AUMENTO DELLA QUALITA' DEI GENERI ALIMENTARI, che porta ad
un AUMENTO DELLA SALUTE, diminuizione di malatie cardiovascolari disturbi alimentari e di allergie per
esempio, mentre per il settore si prospetterà un nuovo sviluppo economico e aumento dei posti di lavoro.

342. Nel lavoro e nel sogno (importance: 73%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 8)
C'è un solo diritto che va tutelato in ogni speciale area culturale dell'Unione: il diritto al lavoro, il diritto a
sopportare le conseguenze del proprio lavoro, il diritto a godere del proprio lavoro. C'è una sola speranza
per L'Unione Europea: che essa sia un sogno ed un riferimento ideale per i suoi cittadini. Non un semplice
amministratore di condominio, ma il futuro dell'integrazione.
343. L'impresa sociale (importance: 73%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
Cosa vuol dire? Che qualsiasi impresa con questo nome, può far parte del Terzo settore, cioé il No-profit? Non
è giusto! Una legge europa che metta un freno a questo massacro di ideali.
344. Telecomunicazioni. - Qualità della vita nel lavoro. (importance: 73%, disagreement: 17, evaluations:
17)
Credo che una accelerazione delle telecomunicazioni possa produrre una accelerazione di molti aspetti
positivi. Minori necessità di spostamenti fisici possono significare un sensibile miglioramento della qualità della
vita, minor inquinamento, minori richiesta di nergia in genere, ma sopratutto maggior tempo libero che è pur
sempre un "motore" dell'economia. Credo infatti che oggi molti che possono "consumare" non hanno il tempo
per farlo. Chi ha il tempo non ha i mezzi.
345. nelle Tasche dei Lavoratori (importance: 73%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 9)
nelle Tasche significa: non aumentare gli stipendi, ma avere un Organo... di controllo per i prezzi in tutta
europa, portandoli alla soglia della vivibilita' Attuale ! un servizzio Quotidiano.... perchè la gente nn arriva a
fine Mese...
346. nell'occupazione (importance: 73%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 8)
i finanziamenti vanno legati alla contrattazione con sindacati perchè fino ad ora i finanziamenti hanno
incrementato le clientele dei governi e fenomeni criminali. Se legati alla contrattazione la stragrande
maggioranza dei cittadini avrebbe una tutela perchè non è vero che è finita la lotta di classe: i padroni sono
gli stessi di 120 anni fa e per i loro profitti sono pronti ad ammazzare i lavoratori. Es. in Italia muore sul lavoro
2,5 lavoratori al giorno el agran parte al primo giorno (cioè lavorava il nero!) ed il governo cosa fa: riduce le
sanzioni ai padroni che non rispettano le norme antinfortunistiche! Perchè in Abruzzo sono crollati i palazzi
che dovevano garantire la sicurezza (la Prefettura, il palazzo della protezione civile, l'ospedale, la regione, il
catasto) ed i palazzi costruiti solo 40 anni fa? Perchè i construttori (tra questi l'Impregilo cioè la Fiat) hanno
usato materiale inadeguato e meno costoso, usavano meno cemento e non hanno rispettato le norme
antisismiche. A proposito di norme antisismiche quelle definite il 2002 dopo il terremoto di S. Giuliano sono
state rinviate di anno in anno, l'utlimo rinvio è di questo governo a gennaio 2008
347. Centro Europeo della ricerca scientifica (importance: 73%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 11)
La ricerca scientifica è per il bene collettivo e in quanto tale non deve essere oggetto di competizione tra
Paesi, ma finalizzata al raggiungimento della massima qualità della vita degli individui che popolano il Pianeta.
Pertanto le risorse economiche andrebbero centralizzate e non disperse.
348. nell'ambito lavorat6ivo e delle pari opportunità uomo-donna (importance: 73%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 6)
le donne che vorrebbero creare una famiglia non dovrebbero essere svantaggiate, nè discriminate sul posto
di lavoro nè messe nella condizione di decidere tra famiglia e lavoro. Vanno date possibilità di carriera anche
senza allontanarsi dalla famiglia, offrendo incentivi alle imprese che consentono alle madri lavoratrici di
svolgere il proprio lavoro e sviluppare le proprie attitudini senza cambiare città o anche lavorando per certi
periodi da casa
349. utilizzo persone pensionate con esperienza mondo del lavoro (importance: 73%, disagreement: 26,
evaluations: 6)
dare l'oppurtunità anche ai pensionati/e di svolgere la attività in cui hanno maturato grande esperienza
di affiancare giovani diplomati e laureati x i primi mesi lavorativi al fine di trasmettere proprie conoscenze
ed esperienze e ricevere un compenso x integrare la pensione inferiore a 1.000 euro, Ai pensionati che
superano i 1.500 euro offrire una oppurtunità x rendersi utili,
un buon lavoro in un ambiente sano migliora certamente la vita

351. Lavoro,Sicurezza,Identità,Welfare,Trasporti,Immigrazione. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 11)
L' Europa a mio avviso dovrebbe fare maggiori sforzi per creare posti di lavoro in tutti gli Stati dell'Unione in
modo da evitare massicce ondate migratorie da uno Stato all'altro. Va bene la libera circolazione ma dovrebbe
essere più regolata e l'accordo di Schengen va a mio avviso rivisto. Potenziare i collegamenti aerei e ferroviari
da uno stato all'altro dell'Unione, migliorare le infrastrutture ed i servizi specialmente in aree depresse come
il sud Italia. Più trasparenza sui servizi bancari, più regole, più Welfare specialmente in Paesi come l'Italia;
l' Europa dovrebbe fare più sforzi per rendere omogenei tutti i Paesi dell'Unione Europea. Inoltre ci vogliono
politiche più rigorose sull'immigrazione. Lotta a 360 gradi all'immigrazione clandestina, giro di vite sulle
concessioni di asili politici, espulsioni più semplici anche per i comunitari se commettono reati e se non hanno
un' occupazione.
352. agevolazione studio e ricerca, educazione (importance: 72%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 11)
Penso sia importante che gli stati membri dell'unione finanzino la ricerca in campi scientifici. Le scoperte in
questi campi, come si sa, si ripercuotono nel tempo sulle industrie e sul mercato, ma piu di ogni altra cosa
bisognerebbe formare le persone alla ricerca. Come primo punto verrei lamentare il fatto che i master offerti
da iniziative come "erasmus mundus" finanziata dall'unione europea non prevedono borse per studenti
europei quando invece sono previste per quelli di altri paesi. Va bene che si vuole fare dell'Europa un "centro
di ricerca mondiale", ma altri paesi come gli Stati Uniti non offrono queste opportunita cosa che pone gli
studenti europei in svantaggio. Un altro punto fondamentale consiste nel far capire alle persone qual'è la
vera importanza di questo campo. Dare cioè alla ricerca un aspetto sociale anche partendo dal basso, dalle
scuole elemntari e medie. Lottare, in questo senso, contro l'analfabetismo scientifico e il semianalfabetismo in
generale. In una città come la mia, nonostatnte la fama universitaria, gli appartenenti alla comunità scientifica
non solo non vengono capiti dalla maggioranza della popolazione, ma vengono visti come se venissero da
altri pianeti. Penso sia un problema di fondo e non si risolve con un semplice incontro su quanto sia bella la
ricerca, al contrario, bisogna prendere provvedimenti a lungo termine che lavorino sulla cultura della persona
sin da piccola e la accompagnino nel tempo, senza aspettarsi risultati immedia
353. LAVORO (importance: 72%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 14)
Difesa del lavoro,principio fondamentale per tutti i cittadini europei
più fondi possibili alla ricerca
355. formazione,informazione,lavoro,qualità (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 14)
nell'attuale panorama dove sempre più si associano lavoro a qualità di vita,penso che la formazione del
cittadino europeo verso la partecipazione sociale sia importante,io capisco che ogni paese partecipante
alla c.e voglia avere la sua identità,ed in questo riconoscere il proprio marchio di identificazione,ma non
sono daccordo perchè penso che il marchio debba essere unico,ad esempio invece di avere il made in
italy,france,espana,portugal etc..,dovrebbe esserci un unico riferimento,a cui si riferiscano solide regole
sia sulle qualità che sui parametri di processi produttivi,volti ad assicurare reali salvaguardie sulla qualità e
protezione ambientali,utlizzando strumenti quali la ricerca come obbiettivi primari
356. finanziara idee imprenditoriali a fondo perduto (importance: 72%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 12)
io ho mille idee che mi frullano nlla testa , per cambiare la mia vita, ma non posos metterle in pratica, non ho
uno spicciolo da parte, il mio lavoro, co.co.pro. non mi permette guadagni e sicurezze tali da dare garanzie
alle banche.
357. Formare le persone alla sicurezza sul lavoro. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 9)
Molto spesso, sia nel pubblico che nel privato, la sicurezza sul lavoro viene vista solamente come
un'imposizione sterile che porta esclusivamente ad un esborso di danaro, senza produrre alcun tornaconto di
tipo economico. Ciò, ovviamente non è vero. Molto spesso, gli interventi tesi al miglioramento della sicurezza
non vengono eseguiti perché non si riesce a comprenderne il significato e l'importanza che hanno sulla
gestione futura dell'azienda. Essi vengono visti solo nell'ottica dell'immediato, esclusivamente come una
spesa da sostenere. Mancano le basi per comprendere cosa sia la sicurezza sul lavoro. E' importante, anzi
fondamentale, creare la "Cultura della sicurezza"! Per fare ciò è opportuno intraprendere un percorso di tipo
didattico che guidi le persone alla comprensione della materia, inserendola all'interno del percorso formativo
della persona a livello scolastico. Quando si riesce a cerare la sensibilità verso l'argomento, facendolo
percepire non come un'imposizione ma come una cosa che migliora il lavoro stesso, il gioco è fatto. Si
deve, parallelamente, procedere anche verso i datori di lavoro inadempienti con sanzioni certe, che da una
parte non possano essere messe in discussione ma che siano anche "giuste" e non soggette ai capricci dei
valutatori.

358. Garantire una concorrenza leale nel settore agroalimentare. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 13)
Chi gestisce un'attività nel settore agroalimentare dovrebbe concentrarsi sulla produzione di qualità
nell'assoluto rispetto del benessere psicofisico dei propri collaboratori nonchè dei consumatori finali, piuttosto
che lottare contro una concorrenza sleale i cui punti di forza sono solo i costi di produzione molto più bassi.
359. sicurezza lavoro (importance: 72%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 8)
elevare il più possibile gli standard di sicurezza sul lavoro e incentivare gli stati a rispettarli con requisiti
comunitari
360. soprattutto nel lavoro (importance: 72%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 7)
Oggi con l'entrata nell'EU di alcuni paesi dell'est ci troviamo a fare i conti con imprenditori privi di scrupoli (
ma guarda un po ) che con il miraggio del costo del lavoro più basso cercano o portano le loro fabbriche in
questi paesi senza preoccuparsi minimamente delle conseguenze per gli stessi operai che con il loro lavoro
hanno aiutato a mantenere in vita la detta fabbrica per loro c'é il licenziamento oppure seguire la ditta nel
nuovo paese ma attenzione non con il loro vecchio stipendio ma con uno rapportato al nuovo costo di vita
cioé a volte la metà di quello che percepivano nel loro paese senza contare i disagi dell'iniziare una nuova
vita una nuova lingua mangiare diversamente pensare diversamente credo che per un giovane tutto questo
possa andare ma una persona con famiglia e soprattutto bambini.......No credo che ancora prima di fare l'EU
bisognava fare gli EUROPEI già nelle scuole cercare di far capire l'importanza dell'unione inculcare alle genti
il fatto che non ci sarà una EU se bisogna trasferire aziende case e famiglie da un paese all'altro solo per il
bene di POCHISSIMI l'EU é un bene prezioso di TUTTI cerchiamo con delle leggi ma dico LEGGI di evitare
questi esodi GRAZIE
361. Lavoro : continuità lavorativa per gli over 40 . (importance: 72%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 5)
362. Il Lavoro per i giovani (importance: 72%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 10)
n Italia ora c'è una nuova moda, lo stage, che non è altro che volontariato, full time, non retribuito, senza
rimboso spese, e senza finalità di assunzione. Quanti giovani, laureati e non che sono schiavi di speanze, per
un lavoro che non esiste.
363. integrazione con regole chiare, scuola obbligatoria, lavoro. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 24,
evaluations: 10)
L'integrazione è diventata essenziale, e non riguarda i soli immigrati, ma tutte le popolazioni degli stati
membri. Idee quali: visione di convivenza civile senza pregiudizi, utilizzo delle varie culture per tutto quanto
va a favore di un arricchimento individuale e ancor più sociale, riguardo a tolleranza e negazione di tutte le
forme di violenza sia private che pubbliche. Sicurezza e una riforma del lavoro che non risulti eccessivamente
soggetta schemi rigidi e superati. Ancora, una lingua comune per tutti i rapporti intercomunitari, e una scuola
di base migliore e più uniforme.
364. Imprenditoria giovanile (importance: 71%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 8)
365. Più agricoltura intesa come settore economico e - burocraz (importance: 71%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 11)
Abbiamo tolto le politiche proattive al setore agricolo. Gli agricoltori abbandonano le loro imprese il patrimonio
culturale di tradizioni di artigianato e di ricette di vita si va aperdere. Il paesaggio iene aggredito dalla
cemntificazione, i territori svantaggiati vengono abbandonati ed ormai amnche la pianura padana si può
intendere coma zona agricola svantaggiata. La commissione Barroso verrà ricordata come la Commissione
che ha deciso di far dissolvere l'agricoltura europea, mentre altri stati come Cina e stati uniti hanno posto alle
politiche agricole una posizione di forte rilievo. Anche l'impasse sullla moratoria negli stati per la coltivazione
di ogm ci ha relegati come fanalino di coda enon abbiamo alcun paracadute contro i costi crescenti. Questo
pensiero è di un elettore della parte politica di chi ha espresso la commissione Barroso ma molto molto
deluso. L'Europa è matrigna e non madre comune per noi.
366. garazia dei diritti umani. più lavoro per i laureati (importance: 71%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 4)
367. Lavoro certo dopo la laurea, Istruzione, Energie rinnovabili (importance: 71%, disagreement: 32,
evaluations: 13)
Stiamo attraversando una profonda crisi dei metodi e dei sistemi scolastici che sono stati utilizzati, è
necessario rivederli ed orientarli in maniera tale da dare un' opportunità a chiunque di intraprendere un
percorso scolastico avendo la certezza di un lavoro sicuro dopo avelo concluso, i giovani senza un fututo
certo è la vera crisi del mondo. Le energie rinnovabili sono il futuro, investendo su questo settore produrrà
molti effetti positivi sull'economia del mondo e soprattutto produrrà nuovi posti di lavoro, è necessario investire
sull'agricoltura trovando una nuova ricetta per far avvicinare i giovani a questo settore, ricordando che
l'agricoltura è la base di ogni forma di sviluppo.

368. istruzione pubblica. lavoro ai disoccupati da più di tre an (importance: 71%, disagreement: 17,

il mio pensiero è : migliorare l'istruzione pubblica. Lavoro ai disoccupati con più di tre anni di assenza
lavorativa e figli a carico, così forse anche io trovo lavoro.
369. area lavorativa, favorire l'iniziativa privata. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 9)
370. imprenditoria giovanile (importance: 71%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 16)
Promuovere tra i giovani la cultura dell'innovazione, del merito e dell'intraprendere.
371. Garantire un lavoro equo a tutti ed evitare le sperequazioni (importance: 71%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 9)
Garantire un lavoro equo a tutti vuol dire migliorare la vita delle persone e fare in modo che esse possano
migliorarsi sia culturalmente che socialmente. Un benessere diffuso,ottenuto evitando le sperequazioni
salariali (specialmente all'interno della pubblica amministrazione), garantisce una diminuzione delle tensioni
sociali, una maggiore presa di coscienza del proprio ruolo e delle propria posizione nonché una maggiore
tranquillità a livello familiare. Tranquillità intesa sia come tranquillità nei rapporti familiari che tranquillità
economica. Inoltre, ciò comporterebbe anche una diffusione maggiore di interventi positivi da parte
dell'amministrazione statale (scolarizzazione, assistenza socio - sanitaria, ecc.) che possono essere estesi
in maniera efficace anche alle fasce socialmente più deboli che, al momento, non hanno diritti di questo tipo
(si pensi a tutto il movimento legato all'immigrazione clandestina o comunque vincolata a rapporti temporali
di emissione dei permessi di lavoro). La diminuzione della sperequazione salariale, inoltre, farebbe in modo
di eliminare il sentimento negativo auto perecepito da numerose fasce di lavoratori legato alla diversa
appartenenza ad amministrazioni, pur effettuando lo stesso tipo di lavoro.
372. Riconoscimento del lavoro sociale (importance: 71%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
Credo sia importante riconoscere come importante e prioritario il lavoro nel sociale, che nel mio paese è
considerato lavoro di serie B. Perchè chi lavora in banca e manda a scatafascio la nostra economia ha una
occupazione molto più riconosciuta di chi si occupa di minoranze o disagio?
373. Statuto dei Lavoratori (art. 18 ) (importance: 71%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 14)
A suo tempo, il tentativo di adeguare l'art.18 per favorire l'assunzione di lavoratori a tempo determinato
in occasioni di emergenze straordinarie o di nuovi progetti con possibili incognite di riuscita,o altro....;ha
prodotto reazioni negative e quindi rinuncia al progetto mantenendo come uniche soluzioni le precarietà, per
conseguenza molte rinunce imprenditoriali. Riprendendo il progetto, si può mantenere inalterato l'art.18 dello
Statuto, introducendo un art.18 bis per una normativa ad hoc per le assunzioni che forniscono garanzie ed
ai lavoratori come agli imprenditori nei casi che i risultati vengano meno alle aspettative. Questa soluzione
permetterebbe a qualsiasi impreditore che vuole tentare nuovi progetti di avviarli con meno rischiosi
condizionamenti creando così più opportunità di lavoro e produzione.
374. Investire su nuovi posti di lavoro!!! (importance: 71%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
Invece di stimolare con nuovi posti di lavoro dentro l'unione europea mandate i nostri investitori europei
in paesi extraeuropei...dove la mano d'opera costa 1 euro al giorno!!!E qua cè la vendono a prezzi
stratosferici!!!!Un po' di dignità da parte delle classe politici europee!!!! Siamo oltre 300 millioni....e andiamo a

I DOCKERS, Quelli che lavorano al porto o nel Freeport, ma sono impiegati del Malta Maritime, lavorano 7
giorni alla settimana e non hanno un giorno libero identificato. Se vogliono prendere un giorno libero devono
prendere il UNPAID LEAVE o pagano a un altra persona che puo' lavorare per loro. Non posso credere che
questi condizioni esistono ancora in questo secolo... e poi quando mio marito si e' fatto male la' [torto di un
impiegato del Freeport] si e' rimasto senza busta paga finche' e' ritornato al lavoro. Ha preso soltanto qualche
spicciolo dal governo ma non e' niente verso quello che ha perso per colpa di qualcun altro!

Limitare l'indipendenza della BCE attribuendo poteri di indirizzo, controllo e gestionali alla UE. Armonizzazione
delle politiche fiscali, dei redditi, pensioni, etc. a livello comunitario. Dazi sulle importazioni dall'Asia? Sarebbe

380. lavoro: ad iniziare dal reclutamento. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 6)
Le opportunità di lavoro non sono uguali per tutti. Ad esempio, per essere in tema, le offerte di lavoro negli
uffici della Commissione Europea e soprattutto delle Agenzie comunitarie finiscono per premiare i soliti
raccomandati, in spregio di tutte le liste di idonei dei concorsi e di quanti sono comunque meritevoli. L'EFSA
di Parma non si presenta affatto come il territorio della trasparenza nelle procedure di reclutamento. La Banca
Centrale Europea recluta in un modo che sembra assolutamente autoreferenziale. Orbene, considerato anche
che le Istituzioni comunitarie si alimentano con i soldi dei contribuenti, l'Unione Europea dovrebbe investire
di più nel lavoro, iniziando dal momento del reclutamento, con la trasparenza delle procedure e privilegiano i
meritevoli.

Aria compressa: utilizzo dei motori ad aria compressa per tutti i tipi motori (trasporti e macchinari) - sin dal
periodo in cui si estraeva il carbone nele miniere veniva utilizzato il motore ad aria compressa che non
causava alcun problema ai lavoratori stippati nelle cave; Il petrolio è una materia obsoleta che continua a
esistere solo a a causa del potere economico gestito dalle compagnie petrolifere che "buttano via" i soldi
rubati alla terra per acquistare club di calcio e limousine fatte su misura; Africa e Sudamerica sono le realtà da
salvare e sulle quali si può iniziare a sconfiggere la politica mangia ambiente;
382. legalità, libera concorrenza, immigrazione clandestina (importance: 70%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 12)
l'europa dovrebbe iniziare ad essere più incisiva e far rispettare le direttive dai singoli stati in modo più efficace
e senza "personalizzazioni" dei singoli stati ad personam come accade in italia. la libera concorrenza e lo
stimolo ai consumi interni sono oggi importantissimi per uscire dalla crisi. l'immigrazione clandestina deve
essere bloccata e punita. L'europa si dovrebbe occupare dei problemi di illegalità che persistono in paesi
come l'italia e che non sono realmente contrastati ma lasciati liberi di intrecciarsi con politica e magistratura. In
Italia si sta facendo politica ad personam e non democrazia e il servizio di informazione pubblica non lo riesce
a far evidenziare.
383. ricerca comune (importance: 70%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 15)
sostenere la ricerca comunitaria come stati uniti europei in tutti i settori: energie, medicina, biotecnologia,
agricoltura i settori portanti dell'economia.
384. Promozione della Libera e nuova Impresa, abolizione quote (importance: 70%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 8)
Liberalizzare realmente il mercato e non solo come slogan elettorale. Abolire totalmente le quote comuniste di
mercato che stanno massacrando la nostra economia. Promuovere quindi la libera imprenditoria, incentivare
i progetti e le idee imprenditoriali e non solo le clientele. Dare soldi veri, liquidità ai giovani imprenditori.
Liberalizzare il sistema del credito bancario mettendo le banche in concorrenza fra loro per finanziare le
imprese sul modello USA. Finanziare anche i costi di esercizio dell'inizio attività con tutor privati della banca
che emette il credito. Valorizzare quindi il Business Plan e fornire consulenza privata da parte della banca che
emetterà il credito. Abolire gli ispettori incubatori d'impresa e tutor statali che gestiscono le camorre dei fondi
pubblici.
385. Incentivare nuove forme di economia (importance: 70%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 12)
Lavorare per produrre, per aumentare bilanci che poi si rivelano falsi non ha molto senso. Dobbiamo pensare
che forse il profitto non può avere un ritorno meramente economico. Si deve forse lavorare per migliorare il
rendimento (inteso in senso meccanico) del sistema europa e mondo. Basta quantità, avanti qualità!
386. sviluppo economico (importance: 70%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 3)

controllando che le autorità locali le spendano effettivamente ad in modo corretto
387. Benessere economico (importance: 70%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 10)
I SOLDI sono indispensabili per il benessere delle persone: è giusto che l'Europa mantenga e difenda il suo
ruolo di motore dell'economia mondiale ed è necessario che: - la pressione fiscale sia ridotta alle imprese
SOLO quando investono - la ricchezza prodotta sia distribuita più giustamente - si trovino dei meccanismi
migliori per ostacolare i peggiori prodotti provenienti da fuori UE

PEr promuovere il lavoro delle donne, è necessario prevedere strutture per ospitare i bimbi, nonchè orari
flessibili per entrambi i genitori. Sarebbe inoltre opportuno alleviare la pressione sociale sul lavoro a tempo
pieno ed evitare un'impressione negativa su chi lavora part-time (cio'spesso fa si' che i padri non lavorino part-
time perchè temono per la propria carriera, cosi' sono le donne a lavorare part-time, in molti casi, e questo non
è giusto).

La cultura e' la base fondamentale x la vita in societa' di una persona, formazione intellettuale ed artistica,
dando spazio ad ogni sua forma, musica,cinema,architettura,sponsorizzando il piu possibile;altro
passo importantissimo e' il proseguimento della ricerca sulle malattie rare genetiche e non rare, cancro
ecc....e cercare di dare spazio al commercio mondiale x far si che questo non si estingua a causa della
crisi,,,,proponendo alla gente ribassi di prezzi anche fuori stagone di saldi, nuovi prodotti che possano essere
allaportata di tutti, pubblicizzando adeguatamente una nuova apertura o una svendita ecc..proseguendo
col volontariato, xche' e' cio' di cui si ha bisogno x andare in aiuto anche dei piu disagiati nei paesi
sottosviluppati....contribuendo col nostro 5 x 1000 a organizzazioni onlus tipo unicef, msf, croce rossa ecc
ecc......passando anche al settore imprenditoria xche c'e' da pensare anche a loro...cercando di salvaguardarli
xche piu di una volta leggo sui giornali che imprenditori vengono minacciati mentre svolgono il proprio lavoro
e tentano di farlo al meglio cosi come pure accade x dirigenti di aziende x i quali non e' facile portare avanti
il proprio lavoro:bisogna a volte immedesimarsi e pensare anche a questo....e poi.....i giornalisti....che a volte
sono pure bersagli...ma pensiamo un po'....leggere un giornale arricchisce le menti e ci mantiene informati di
cio che accade ogni giorno nel mondo. IL NOSTRO MONDO E LA NOSTRA TERRA:ambiente e animali.

I temi più urgenti da affrontare a mio parere sono i diritti e la sicurezza sul lavoro, i diritti degli immigrati ed

Le opportunità di lavoro non sono uguali per tutti. Ad esempio, per essere in tema, le offerte di lavoro negli
uffici della Commissione Europea e soprattutto delle Agenzie comunitarie finiscono per premiare i soliti
raccomandati, in spregio di tutte le liste di idonei dei concorsi e di quanti sono comunque meritevoli. L'EFSA
di Parma è tutto tranne che il territorio della trasparenza nelle procedure di reclutamento. Orbene, considerato
anche che le Istituzioni comunitarie si alimentano con i soldi dei contribuenti, l'Unione Europea dovrebbe
investire di più nel lavoro, iniziando dal momento del reclutamento, con la trasparenza delle procedure e
privilegiano i meritevoli.

396. lavoro, centri di aggregamento sociale (importance: 69%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 8)
Il posto di lavoro è dove passiamo la maggior parte del nostro tempo, bisognerebbe rendere i luoghi di lavoro
più funzionali per consentire maggiore contatto con l'esterno e evitare che il lavoro diventi alienante. Fuori
dal luogo di lavoro, il cittadino dovrebbe avere la possibilità di informarsi con maggior facilità (non abbiamo
tutti lo stesso grado di istruzione ed è giusto che le informazioni siano accessibili a tutti) in oltre, la routin della
vita con lavoro, burocrazia e tutto il tran tran quotidiano, spesso creano disagio sociale, stress e depressione.
Bisognerebbe dare maggior attenzione a queste patologie che stanno penetrando sempre di più nella società.
Insomma, una vita più a misura d'uomo e meno soffocante. Le aree più importanti restano comunque i luoghi
di lavoro e di aggregazione sociale.

nel 1984 due scienziati europei ing.Vinicio De Bortoli e il prof. Ugo licinio hanno scoperto la prima Interfaccia
neurale. Oggi da quella data in america sono stati fatti moltissimi studi e anche in Svezia sul Neurosky e sul
Mindball. L'inventore del principio che regole queste due macchine oggi è disposto a dare una mano a tutti i
ricercatori europei affinche nasca una nuova scienza e porti l'europa a degli standard di qualità e tecnologici
elevatissimi bisogna fare qualcosa in questo senso per dare una mano ai giovani unendo l'esperienza con la
voglia di cercare.

Io credo che l'UE aiuti gli studenti, nello studio, nello scambio culturale, in un certo senso anche nel trovare un
posto di lavoro. Ma nonostante questo la grande maggioranza degli studenti, anche lavoratori, non ha fiducia
nel proprio futuro. Sa che prima o poi sarà disoccupato e dovrà ricominciare daccapo a cercare un altro
lavoro. Questo non va secondo me. L'UE dovrebbe investire di più nei giovani e nel loro lavoro

Oggi con l'entrata nell'EU di alcuni paesi dell'est ci troviamo a fare i conti con imprenditori privi di scrupoli (
ma guarda un po ) che con il miraggio del costo del lavoro più basso cercano o portano le loro fabbriche in
questi paesi senza preoccuparsi minimamente delle conseguenze per gli stessi operai che con il loro lavoro
hanno aiutato a mantenere in vita la detta fabbrica per loro c'é il licenziamento oppure seguire la ditta nel
nuovo paese ma attenzione non con il loro vecchio stipendio ma con uno rapportato al nuovo costo di vita
cioé a volte la metà di quello che percepivano nel loro paese senza contare i disagi dell'iniziare una nuova
vita una nuova lingua mangiare diversamente pensare diversamente credo che per un giovane tutto questo
possa andare ma una persona con famiglia e soprattutto bambini.......No credo che ancora prima di fare l'EU
bisognava fare gli EUROPEI già nelle scuole cercare di far capire l'importanza dell'unione inculcare alle genti
il fatto che non ci sarà una EU se bisogna trasferire aziende case e famiglie da un paese all'altro solo per il
bene di POCHISSIMI l'EU é un bene prezioso di TUTTI cerchiamo con delle leggi ma dico LEGGI di evitare

410. Gruppi di lavoro internazionali e studio di regole stabili. (importance: 66%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 8)
Creare commissioni di giovani provenienti da vari paesi che studino un modo per migliorare il "mondo
lavorativo" europeo scegliendo tra le procedure dei vari stati ed intersecandole, in modo d'avere un unico
modo operativo. Modificare alcune regole, per dare una stabilità europea così da essere in minor modo
dipendente da altre nazioni, senza però cadere in un possibile protezionismo che rischierebbe di intaccare
l'equilibrio di import-exprort. Favorendo, però, con dei controlli maggiori la limitazione delle merci in entrata e
alzando la qualità di quelle in uscita, si farebbe in modo che il mercato faccia sempre più delle scelte verso
prodotti europei ( in particolare italiani ) a discapito di altri paesi. Questo farebbe rientrare più moneta nelle
casse europee e di conseguenza porterebbe più investimenti e successivamente posti di lavoro: facendo
così "girare" in un modo più proficuo l'economia europea, semplicemente per due principali motivi: più soldi
in europa, e quindi economia più forte; e più debole in altri paesi. Così che in divario europa-resto del mondo
giocherebbe a nostro favore. Inoltre si dovrebbero instaurare delle agevolazioni economiche per cittadini
europei, limitando così le "uscite" economiche dei cittadini. Paolo Filippone

part of their profit even if i don't buy their title. Then i want to be free to know all about them if they are on my

420. Lavoro all'estero (importance: 61%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 10)
Creare un network di aziende di ogni settore che, magari tramite piattaforma online, crei una più fitta mobilità
di lavoratori all'interno della Comunità: in questo tipo di programma si vorrebbero incluse non solo grandi
organizzazioni, ma anche piccole e medie imprese, Stati emergenti con grossa richiesta di lavoro e si
cercherebbe di incentivare periodo di lavoro all'estero per lavoratori di ogni età, per arricchire il curriculum o
per trovare sbocchi alternativi ad un mercato di lavoro ormai saturo nel proprio Paese.
421. lavoro piccole imprenditrici (importance: 61%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 10)
stimolare e difendere l'iniziativa imprenditoriale delle imprese al femminile con aiuti economici e alleggerendo
gli aspetti burocratici. ad esempio proponendo una separazione negli adempimenti riguardo le norme sulla
sicurezza dei luoghi di lavoro, eccessivamente difficili da rispettare e in concreto troppo cavillose, quasi da
considerare la loro applicazione talmente onerosa o impossibile, che induce la piccola azienda a chiudere.

Promuovere incentivi per lo scambio di merci e iniziative culturali tra i paesi dell'UE attraverso le piccole e
medie imprese. Ritengo che il "modello italiano" diventando europeo non può che migliorare!
428. Io penso che sia di fondamentale importanza Ricerca, Energia
Penso che il connubio tra queste due aree di interesse possano dare all'unione europea il giusto
impulso di sviluppo. La ricerca e la formazione di noi studenti, cittadini europei, serve per migliorare
l'integrazione culturale all'interno dell'europa (rendere obbligatorio il progetto Erasmus) e la ricerca per
migliorare la vita quotidiana di noi tutti. Altro importantissimo ramo è l'energia, la green energy. Con questo
pensiero oltre a portare benefici per i cittadini europei potrebbe essere un'opportunità anche per i paesi
emergenti o in via di sviluppo, per avere delle fonti energetiche senza inciampare in errori già commessi in
passato.
429. Ricerca e l'Università come qualità nella vita quotidiana.
Molto spesso le persone non comprendono il legame che c'è tra Ricerca-Università e qualità nella
vita quotidiana di tutto i giorni. Qualsiasi settore la ricerca è fondamentale, dalle scoperte in campo
medico a quelle di tipo sociale. Servirebbe far aumentare questa consapevolezza in tutti noi.
430. formazione, ricerca, integrazione, unione politica, pace
A mio avviso l'UE dovrebbe per prima cosa diventare uno stato federale, sul modello USA. Questo
le garantirebbe un maggior peso sullo scacchiere internazionale, al fine di garantire un mondo più
equo e la pace. Un super Stato europeo avrebbe la forza e le risorse necessarie per cambiare in
meglio questo pianeta. Per fare questo bisognerebbe iniziare dagli Stati favorevoli a una maggiore
integrazione, senza cercare di mettere d'accordo tutti inutilmente. L'UE dovrebbe inoltre aumentare i
suoi investimenti in formazione, ricerca, innovazione e tecnologie, così da diventare davvero l'area più
competitiva del pianeta.

é importante non dipendere più dalle energie fossili, da un lato per salvaguardare la ns salute, dall'altra per
non dipendere da politiche di solo profitto. Gli edifici dovrebbero essere coibentati per poter conservare il
livello di temperatura richiesto, il più a lungo possibile, permettendo di risparmiare molto denaro ed energia. E'
opportuno sviluppare politiche di trasporti di massa e non singole auto, inoltre esistono motorizzazioni a zero

Energie alternative sì, ma con equilibrio. Evitare che ci sia una proliferazione incontrollata di parchi eolici che
danneggiano il paesaggio in zone di interesse agricolo e turistico. Le fonti di energia alternativa dovrebbero
essere realizzate secondo un piano non solo regionale, ma nazionale o meglio europeo, per evitare che si

prezzi del petrolio e inquinare meno, per quanto riguarda i mezzi di trasporto pubblici e privati. Imporre un tetto

Ogni volta che mi capita di essere in Austria o Grmania sono stupito dallo sviluppo dell'energia eolica in quei
paesi! Magari ci fosse anche in Italia un piano energetico articolato come in certi paesi del Nord Europa;
noi abbiamo abolito il nucleare 20 anni fa senza creare delle alternative perché purtroppo la nostra classe
politica non ha il pragmatismo ed il senso della pianificazione della classe politica nordeuropea. I problemi
non si risolvono con l'accanimento ideologico, come purtroppo spesso in Italia si fa, ma pensando al futuro
e pianificando. Si vuole uscire dal nuclare in un certo numero di anni? Lo si faccia gradualmente, ma
prevedendo un "mix" di alternative energetiche alternative, che consentano all'industria ed alla popolazione
locale di potersi approvvigionare a costi contenuti e non prevedano la dipendenza dalla sola energia fossile,
come purtroppo - in parte grazie anche alla scarsa lungimiranza della nostra classe politica - avviene. Io credo
che l'UE possa essere di grande aiuto all'Italia in questo senso, trasmettendo anche nel nostro paese quelle
migliori prassi che in altri paesi dell'UE fanno la differenza.

Una volta usciti dalla crisi finanziaria ed economica, il prezzo del petrolio comincera' a risalire di nuovo. Inoltre
temo che i problemi che ci verranno dai cambiamenti climatici saranno molto piu' gravi di quanto attualmente
immaginiamo. E avverranno molto prima. Investire sulle Energie Rinnovabili e sul Risparmio Energetico, oltre
ad alleviare i problemi precedenti, potrebbe creare un grande numero di nuovi posti di lavoro. Bisognerebbe
anche investire di piu' sul concetto della societa' della conoscenza (che era stata varata a Lisbona). Il mondo

La politica e i politici poi dovrebbero diventare consapevoli che una gestione responsabile delle risorse

scientifiche indipendenti e non lobbies! Porteranno ad aggravare i problemi già esistenti.. per ottenere risultati
molto piu soddisfacenti e a prezzi una decina di volte piu bassi basterebbe semplicemente aumentare

Cos'ì com'è, l'UE è un bellissimo animale senza testa, il vertice di una piramide che però non conta nulla e ha
una piccola influenza sulle vicende politico-economiche di un singolo stato. Sembra essere una megastruttura
creata dai potenti per aumentare il proprio potere e per relagare incarichi retribuiti profumatamente a soggetti
che riescono ad ottenerli per lo più grazie a un curriculum costruito in anni di clientelismo e compromessi
politico- elettorali. Il popolo non sa nulla di quello che accade in Europa. L'UE non riesce a esplicare un'azione
incisiva che possa cambiare le sorti di un destino che sembra inevitabilmente segnato. Il patto di stabilità è
una presa in giro perchè i famosi parametri vengono puntualmente disattesi (è ovvio, non si può sintetizzare
tutto in pochi numeri e sperare che gli stati rispettino questi numeri, senza avere nessuna influenza sulle
scelte politico-economiche) e il rapporto deficit/PIL sembra più un'opinione personale che un criterio obiettivo
(oltre che essere una sorta di "gabbia" che costringe i governanti a prevedere misure una tantum per "tappare
buchi" piuttosto che fare riforme strutturali). La politica non è in grado di guardare oltre il proprio naso, se non
per i propri personali interessi. Dove sono finiti tutti i soldi "persi" dal popolo a causa dell'euro? nelle tasche

energie alternative come l'eolico o il solare. Vorrei che ci fossero politiche di prevenzione dei disastri naturali
come studi di settore, progetti, consulenze, indicazioni e direttive, per esempio, sui criteri antisismici da

dal mondo del petrolio e dei suoi derivati.
469. Salvaguardare l'ambiente (importance: 87%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 12)
Tramite legislazioni apposite e controlli severi, bisognerebbe preservare l'ambiente e porre ulteriori
vincoli sulle costruzioni e sulle aree protette. A tal fine si potrebbe invstire pesantemente sul fronte delle
nuove tecnologie, ad esempio sul solare e sul risparmio energetico, mantenendo unprimato tecnologico e
contemporaneamente salvando l'ambiente.

473. Salvaguardia dell' ambiente e del cibo. (importance: 87%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 11)
Credo sia di fondamentale importanza tutelare l'ambiente nel quale viviamo, dato che le risorse di
cui disponiamo sono finite mentre il modello economico da noi adottato punta ad un' infinita crescita
il che presuppone anche un utilizzo delle risorse del nostro pianeta con ritmi di crescita esponenziali:
tutto ciò è insostenibile; all'interno di quest'ottica penso sia tra i passi fondamentali quello di passare
all'approvviggionamento delle energie di cui abbiamo bisogno attraverso le fonti rinnovabili e porsi come
obbiettivo il reciclaggio al 100% dei rifiuti che produciamo. Ritengo inoltre fondamentale che i prodotti
alimentari dei quali ci nutriamo vengano tutelati, ovvero, non è possibile a mio avviso autorizzare la
commercializzazione di alimenti transgenici, o trattati con ormoni/antibiotici data la nulla conoscenza degli
affetti a lungo termine che l'assunzione di questi prodotti potrebbe avere sul nostro organismo: bisognerebbe
cercare di trovare anche le alternative a pesticidi, concimi ed additivi chimici. Nulla si crea e nulla si distrugge,
un inceneritore rilascerà dal suo comignolo una quantità di particelle di massa pari alla massa dei rifiuti
bruciati, così come un automobile, è una comodità che paghiamo in termini di salute, non è accettabile. Inoltre
vi sono forme di sostentamento che sono diritto di tutti e non possono essere sottoposte alle leggi di mercato,
non si può puntare alla loro privatizzazione, parlando di ciò mi viene subito in mente

475. Energia e ambiente (importance: 87%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 8)
E' piuttosto di moda parlare di ambiente ma le esigenze (credo sacrosante) dell'ambiente sono poco
compatibile con quelle economiche. E così i computer di adesso sono (in parte) più eco-compatibili che in
passato (in parte perchè la ricerca tecnologica ottimizza il rapporto efficenza-prestazioni ma il cliente esige
prestazioni sempre maggiori con "avidità" superiore e così il mio PC da gioco del 1998 consumava 250W
e quello del 2008 500W- un po' come i km/l della Uno e della Grande Punto sono sempre gli stessi) ma la
maggior parte delle continua a buttarli dove capita "tanto poi buttano tutto insieme. Discorso simile vale anche
per tutta l'elettronica di consumo.

Mi piacerebbe che l'Unione Europea garantisse uno standard comunitario per quanto riguarda la qualità degli
insegnamenti scolastici e universitari. Sarebbe interessante investire in un programma di scambio inter-
europeo ad ogni livello di scuola per favorire comunicazione e apertura di pensiero fra i giovani. Per quanto
riguarda la sicurezza credo sia ora di creare un esercito europeo che può servire a due scopi: garantire
una maggiore coesione e rispondere in maniera più unitaria alle sfide militari del secolo. Credo che debba
avere maggiori poteri sugli Stati Membri, soprattutto in riferimento alla situazione anomala della democrazia
nel mio paese: l'Italia. Dovrebbe garantire la ver< libertà d'informazione chiarendo la propria posizione sul
conflitto d'interesse e legiferare di conseguenza. Se non rispettato, non imporre sanzioni che gravano sulla
popolazione, ma attivare canali di potere politico. Inoltre, dovrebbe poter intervenire in situazioni dove gli Stati
Nazionali hanno chiaramente fallito: vedisi il problema della mafia in Italia.

479. Politiche sul risparmio energetico e risorse rinnovabili (importance: 86%, disagreement: 8,
evaluations: 11)
Mi piacerebbe che la Commissione investisse le proprie risorse in una massiccia politica sul risparmio
energetico, sia attraverso fondi che attraverso direttive e regolamenti. Parlo di case coibentate, lampioni con
pannelli solari e a norma inquinamento luminoso, materiali riciclati, centrali rinnovabili.. Dipendiamo dalla
Russia per il gas e dai Paesi Arabi per il petrolio, e man mano che i decenni passano le risorse diminuiscono.
A lungo termine si creeranno inevitabilmente tensioni, e quindi mi chiedo: se non lo si vuol fare per
ecologismo, che lo si faccia per lungimiranza.
480. Salute e salvaguardia dell'ambiente. (importance: 86%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 11)
La sanità deve funzionare adeguatamente in tutti i paesi UE , e comunque ritengo importante che si vada
verso ad un unico sistema sanitario Europeo e cioè che ci sia una maggiore collaborazione tra gli stati
Europei, per il miglioramento del servizio e delle strutture in tutti i paesi membri. E' fondamentale che la
sanità anche in un solo paese membro NON venga privatizzata: come ci insegna la situazione in USA, che
ora guardano all'Europa come riferimento. Riguardo all'ambiente è fondamentale tutelare la biodiversità
e le aree naturali, bisogna rendere più sostenibili tutte le attività umane, in particolare: agricoltura,pesca,
Industria e produzione energetica. Favorire e finanziare maggiormente lo sviluppo delle energie rinnovabili,
meno finanziamenti per il nucleare. Sviluppare i biocarburanti sostenibili: dagli scarti vegetali e da sostanze
organiche in genere.

evaluations: 13)
1) Lavorare su ambiente ed energie (recupero, riciclaggio, prevenzione, ecologia, edilizia, riscaldamento,
acqua) crea un mondo migliore per i nostri figli e nuovi posti di lavoro. Per questo motivo non ho scritto
"lavoro" nelle motivazioni brevi, perchè arriverà con la riconversione e con le attività eco-compatibili. 2)
Rispetto delle regole: in Italia sono appena morte 300 persone perchè le loro abitazioni sono crollate per
un terremoto che in California o in Giappone non avrebbe fatto danni. Chi costruisce, smercia, produce per
immettere beni sul mercato deve essere onesto. La speculazione, corruzione, tangenti, profitti facili provocano
un cancro sociale che genera delinquenza. 3) Rispettando le regole ci si apre alla multiculturalità: un'Europa
laica e accogliente per le diverse culture, incluse le diverse antiche culture europee, è l'unica direzione alla
quale guardare per una casa comune nel prossimo futuro

484. Nelle energie rinnovabili (importance: 86%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 6)
La UE dovrebbe rendere obbligatorio un investimento percentuale nel bilancio di ciascuno stato membro
da dedicare all'incentivazione delle energie rinnovabili. Se possibile il regolamento per l'applicazione di tali
incentivi dovrebbe prevedere tappe temporali precise. Ancor meglio sarebbe se gli incentivi venissero gestiti
direttamente dalla UE: in Italia le istituzioni hanno la tendenza all'inerzia in questo campo e gli interessi dei
produttori di energia non rinnovabile sono ancora troppo radicati e collegati al potere politico. La UE dovrebbe
obbligare l'Italia a fre una legge chiara e di pratica applicazione per l'energia solare, soprattutto.
486. Ambiente ed energia (importance: 86%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 13)
Oltre ad investire sulla ricerca e l'impianto di centrali elettriche che non usino combustibili fossili e siano
sempre più produttive credo si debba avviare una campagna di sensibilizzazione ed istruzione dei cittadini
ad un consumo più oculato del bene energia e al rispetto generale dell'ambiente.Già riuscendo ad adottare
uno stile di vita più controllato e attento si potrebbero fare grandi passi avanti. Una campagna comunitaria
come quella adottata dal municipio di Stoccolma entro i propri confini e che l'ha condotta a vincere il premio
European Green Capital Award per il 2010.

Le energie rinnovabili sono e devono essere il futuro: solare, eolico, idrico devono essere il volano della
prossima generazione. Inoltre anche cambiare alimentazione alle auto, passando a combustibili meno
inquinanti come il GPL, il metano e in futuro elettricità e idrogeno
492. ecologia, recupero materiali (riciclaggio), istruzione (importance: 86%, disagreement: 11, evaluations:
16)
Tutti i prodotti fabbricati e/o venduti nell'UE dovrebbero riportare le indicazioni per lo smaltimento e/o il
recupero degli stessi e i governi dovrebbero perseguire chi non lo fa. Con questa misura si migliorerebbe la
situazione ambientale e si ridurrebbero le importazioni d materie prime di cui l'UE è sprovvista. I rifiuti non
recuperabili dovrebbero essere bruciati per fornire energia elettrica, naturalmente valutando e gestendo
le emissioni che la combustione genera. Bisognerebbe investire nel Biocarburante (miscela di bioetanolo
e benzina) come già avviene in svezia da parte di saab. Bisogna costruire centrali solari nelle zone
economicamente depresse dell'europa del sud. Bisogna creare un sistema scolastico e universitario unico
per l'UE, inserendo standard ed obbiettivi a cui le nazioni debbano sottostare (naturalmente istituendo delle
deroghe in alcuni paesi per i primi anni). In questo modo ci sarà un vero mercato unico del lavoro in europa:
con un diploma italiano si potrà lavorare in francia alla pari di un diplomato francese.
493. Sull'Ambiente (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 9)
Il problema dell'ambiente riguarda non solo la protezione delle foreste, della biodiversità ecc. Parlare
di ambiente oggi vuol dire occuparsi di economia, di coesione, di legalità, di diritti sociali. Tutti i cittadini
dell'Unione devono partecipare al processo democratico di decisione delle politiche ambientali, economiche,
culturali, perchè è necessario che si capisca tutti che continuare a produrre e a consumare come facciamo
noi europei e occidentali oggi non sarà più possibile, non fra 50 anni, ma fra cinque/dieci, quando Cina e India
faranno sentire appieno la propria legittima aspirazione a produrre e consumare quanto e anche più di noi. A
quel punto sarà il nostro pianeta in grado di sostenerci tutti?

La situazione politica italiana fa schifo, siamo governati da ladri che non hanno il minimo interesse a fare cose
buone per i cittadini, la nostra speranza è l'Europa. In Italia abbiamo risorse naturali che vanno preservete
e sfruttate per ottenere energia pulita. I nostri politici promettono sempre più verde ed energia pulita ma in
pratica fanno l'esatto opposto. Il contributo dell'Europa dovrebbe essere principalmente un'azione di controllo
sui nostri politici che sfruttano i finanziamenti europei destinati a ottime iniziative per arricchire le casse della
malavita. L'Europa, per fare qualcosa di positivo dovrebbe si investire, ma soprattutto CONTROLLARE che
le iniziative vengano portate avanti da persone oneste, altrimenti è tutto inutile. Per quanto riguarda possibili
investimenti sarebbe utile avere mezzi pubblici non inquinanti e incentivi per l'acquisto di macchine ibride
(ancora troppo costose).
499. lavoro, ambiente, sicurezza, istruzione, solidarietà (importance: 86%, disagreement: 14, evaluations:

bisognerebbe tornare alla centralità dell'essere umano come persona e non come un numero in una statistica,
dare un ruolo ed un significato alla vita e ridimensionare il valore del denaro per rendere ogni respiro di un
bambino un valore e non un fatto. penso che il lavoro ci rende migliori e ci da la possibilità di vedere ogni
alba con occhi aperti al futuro, in un ambiente dove è possibile respirare un'aria più pulita e mangiare cibi che
siano sicuri per la nostra salute, dove la sicurezza delle persone sia dettata da regole certe e che uscire la
mattina per andare al lavoro, significhi tornare la sera a casa dai propri cari. Un'Europa che permetta a tutti
un'istruzione adeguata e facilmente accessibile, anche a chi non può permettersi di pagare dei libri di testo
con dei costi proibitivi, un'Europa dove la solidarietà non debba essere lasciata all'iniziativa delle svariate
associazioni di volontariato, ma che faccia parte di un sistema di vita e di stato dove ognuno abbia il diritto di
vivere dignitosamente una vita senza dover elemosinare del cibo ed attraversare la strada ad un'altro che si
può permettere di comprare addirittura parti anatomiche di persone che per sopravvivere si vendono il sangue
ed anche organi. Torniamo a pensare che questo è un mondo di persone dove vivere è bello, ma per molti
potrebbe essere più bello. grazie

Credo sia veramente giunto il momento di pensare all'ambiente in cui viviamo, finanziando opere per la
produzione di energia alternativa, edifici di qualità e ad alto contenimento energetico. Tutto ciò potrebbe
creare delle nuove figure professionali e dare una nuova spinta economica per le molteplici opportunità di
lavoro che si verrebbero a creare. Penso che ambiente, riconversione industriale e applicazione di nuove
tecnologie vadano di pari passo con una maggiore opportunità di occupazione.

Trovare persone disponibili e dargli la possibilità di far crescere il paese,creare occupazione, in italia si danno
molti soldi a chi non crea lavoro,a chi rovina il paese e di conseguenza il Mondo in generale. Un esempio
concreto il mio! Circa un anno fa volevo aprire un locale in un paesino della provincia di Rieti,ho provato con
le istituzioni locali:il comune,la comunità montana e nessuno mi ha dato una mano.Questo negozio che ho
aperto comunque e da solo permette alla popolazione locale( circa 200 abitanti) di fare la spesa,prendere
un buon caffè e agli anziani del paese di fare una partita a carte. Nei fine settimana tornano circa 1000
persone maggiormente da Roma e Tivoli,persone che hanno casa ma lavorano in città e da circa un mese
nel mio locale è possibile anche connettersi ad internet,grazie sempre e solo ai miei sforzi sia ben chiaro.
Questo perchè è inpensabile che i pochi giovani del paese non possano usare la rete per informarsi,visto
che in italia lìinformazione vera non esiste! Dimenticavo una cosa importante per me,con questo locale
sono riuscito a creare un posto di lavoro a tempo indeterminato e avrò bisogno almeno di un'altra persone
per la stagione estiva. Ora mi aspetta la sfida più grande,vorrei rimettere in piedi l'agricoltura in modo
sostenibile,un'agricoltura di montagna che da spazio a molte sfumature. Si può sviluppare il turismo e la
gastronomia locale che è molto stimata.Le agroenergie e molte altre attività...chi mi darà una mano

rinccorono l'alta innovazione sia tecnologica che gestionale, si possono non solo creare dei posti di lavoro
ma anche salvaguardare questi da eventuali concorrenza a basso prezzo proveniente da paesi emmergenti.
Creando un'azienda ad alto contenuto sociale nella quale le persone facciano gruppo e siano costantemente

a maggior beneficio dell'industria automobilistica piuttosto che dell'ambiente e dell'uomo che lo popola.
Valutare l'impatto sia sull'ecosistema ma anche sull'economia su più decenni della creazione di centrali
nucleari piuttosto che di altri tipi fonti energetiche. Sono decisioni importanti prese da politici che hanno un

servirebbe che le decisioni prese in sede europea inizino ad essere recepite immediatamente dagli stati
membri (l'Italia è molto indietro da questo punto di vista). Per quanto riguarda la salute,dovrebbe esserci
maggiore controllo sugli stati membri, verificando che le aziende non violino i limiti di inquinanti emessi; per
esempio sanzionando direttamente chi viola una qualsiasi norma europea senza che debba essere fatto dal
governo dello stato membro.

evaluations: 15)
In Italia ci sono molti problemi, ma il più urgente secondo me è l'inquinamento. Per creare un Paese
produttivo, le persone che lo popolano devono essere sane. L'inquinamento causa patologie e allergie, e un
abbassamento della qualità di vita. Le allergie crescono esponenzialmente nei bambini, ma colpiscono anche
persone adulte creando problemi sul posto di lavoro, e maggiori problemi agli anziani. Soprattutto ritengo
grave l'inquinamento atmosferico creato dalle automobili: la benzina verde sembra essere ancora meno
tollerabile della precedente per l'apparato respiratorio, per via delle micro polveri che rilascia nell'aria. Un altro
tipo di grave inquinamento è quello del fumo di sigaretta. Anche se in Italia non si fuma più nei locali pubblici,
non significa che le persone abbiano smesso di fumare. Rimane il grave problema che riguarda l'aumento di
GIOVANI FUMATORI, che danneggiano la propria salute fin dall'adolescenza. Un divieto non è sufficiente,
bisogna creare modelli positivi di comportamento che attirino i giovani più di quelli negativi. Persone

Oggi deve essere ripensato il rapporto tra uomo ed ambiente nell'ottica di uno sviluppo che abbia il minor
impatto possibile sull'ambiente che ci circonda. La progettazione dei beni di largo consumo, così come
degli impianti industriali deve tener presente il concetto di Life Cycle, ovvero si deve pensare un manufatto,
qualunque esso sia, in tutte le sue fasi di vita, in modo da ottimizzarne l'impatto mentre lo si produce, lo si
utilizza e lo si dismette. In questa logica deve essere pensata anche l'energia, che dovrebbe essere prodotta
con processi non solo rinnovabili, ma anche che abbiano un contenuto impatto ambientale considerando
anche la loro costruzione e in seguito dismissione

vieti ai suoi paesi membri di avviare dei progetti antiecologici o che non si muovono comunque a migliorare
la situazione attuale. Vorrei anche che l'europa prenda dei provvedimenti più funzionali contro i paesi che
si comportano male e le multe non mi sembrano un grande repellente. Basta vedere cosa succede in
Italia: il governo fa quello che vuole e spesso la comunità europea lo punisce con delle multe, che vengono
pagate dallo stato, quindi dal popolo italiano, che spesso è ignaro di tutto questo, perchè la maggior parte
dell'informazione è in mano al governo, che continua a fare quello che vuole (anche contro l'ambiente). Io

in considerazione, cosa che non dovrebbe accadere. Gli stati dell'Unione, dovrebbero iniziare a costruire
solamente abitazioni che integrino alla normale rete energetica, strumenti per la produzione casalinga

Energie rinnovabili: il nostro paese è baciato da sole, tanto vento e mare! tre elementi che sono sfruttati

imprenditore che, come tale, pensa tanto al bene di Confindustria e poco al bene del suo territorio! Lo
invito a non demordere con le sue pressioni ed a calcare la mano! Istruzione: il nostro livello di cultura,
se confrontato con un belga...è pari a zero, le conoscenze linguistiche scarse, la pratica poca, il paese
abbisogna di una innovazione nel sistema scolastico. Politiche d'integrazione: gli immigrati non sono integrati
al meglio all'interno del nostro paese. Non c'è comunicazione tra i popoli, ed il dialogo è l'antidoto più
potente contro la violenza! Spero che l'Europa non abbandoni l'Italia in questo difficile momento e che non
si dimentichi dei cittadini che soffrono, degli Abruzzesi in primis, ma anche di coloro che devono sopportare
le ingiuste manipolazioni di questo regime che quotidianamente, con il suo potere mediatico, fa del bene per

Diritti e doveri:Dovrebbe garantire che gli stati membri si adeguassero alle direttive date e in caso contrario
non dovrebbero essere penalizzati con delle sanzioni all stato:in questo caso infatti pagano i cittadini che
non fanno le leggi! L'unione europea dovrebbe garantire i cittadini europei, anche quelli che hanno governi
inefficenti.Dovrebbe a tal fine essere giudicato dalla stessa corte europea l'inadempienza di un governo
facendolo pagare direttamente,per la sua inadempienza.Altrimenti che cittadini europei siamo?i francesi
saranno di serie a,gli inglesi di serie B ecc...nuovamente in dipendenza dallo stato appartenente! Se
l'europa è degli europei un cittadino europeo, in qualunque parte di europa deve ricevere gli stessi servizi
e trattamenti, diritti e doveri. I parlamentari di tutti i governi dovrebbero avere uguali stipendi e essere
giudicati meritocraticamente. Le infrastrutture dovrebbero essere garantite in tutti gli stati membri, ecc..
Multiculturalità:Lunione europea dovrebbe garantire la diffusione di tutte le culture senza penalizzarne alcuna
perchè la crescita nasce dalla diversità...che è una ricchezza! Ambiente:nessuno stato dovrebbe poter
legiferare a suo piacimento per quello che è un bene di tutti:la Terra! L'unione europe sull'ambiente dovrebbe

Si possa iniziare dal quadro locale, provinciale ecc fino ad uno mi auguro mondiale. In pratica proporrei di
cambiare il metodo di raccolta differenziata, per di più aggiornarlo. Esempio: Vetro, bottiglie di vetro, invece
buttarle nel cassonetto per farle frantumi, perché non si possano mandare nei centri di recupero specializzati
(da creare come strutture) che possano imballare le bottiglie, baratoli ecc in base alle dimensioni, tipo,
colore, marca (per bottiglie tipo birra). Si, le bottiglie adesso sono sporche, ma almeno non frantumi. Quindi,
il prossimo step: invece di mandare i frantumi al forno per ricavarne altre bottiglie, perché non attrezzare i
vari stabilimenti d'imbottigliamento con le attrezzature per lavarle? Poi la catena prosegue normalmente col
riempimento, vendita (soltanto del prodotto+costo lavaggio). A questo punto si elimina il consumo ambientale
ed economico dei forni per il vetro, costo di manutenzione con quale si possa incentivare la gente a portare le
bottiglie intatte ai centri di raccolta. In più, ai banchi dei supermercati, se c'ho la bottiglia in cambio pago solo il
prodotto... Si, è un'usanza di anni fà, ma penso che vale ancora eccome!!! Grazie, Vlad B. PS: per ora salvo

urbanizzazione fossero eseguiti da dei tecnici e non da dei politici, magari sarebbe corretto se fosse creato un
organo esterno euopeo inattaccabile da qualsiasi condizionamento o interesse privato nel decidere eventuali
piani di espansione e di crescita urbana. Come dire una "commissione esterna" che interagisce con gli organi
locali preposti a queste attività e che fino ad ora hanno dimostrato di curare gli interessi di pochi eletti. Ogni

Razionalizzare la mobilità delle persone, nello specifico significa ridurre le occasioni di spostamento dei

dei mezzi pubblici, i quali saranno addeguatamente proggettati per dare un servizio inteligente, ogni cittadino
potrà girare liberamente usando una card digitale e non nominale (privacy) e sarà così segnalato ogni suo
spostamento im modo che sia possibile gestire lo spostamento di tutti. Questo permetterebbe che un centro
operativo possa dirottare i servizi a seconda delle esigenze e di fare delle stime di trasporto in tempo reale.
Troppe auto ferme in parcheggio. All'interno delle aree urbane solo auto eclogiche messe a disposizione di
tutti. Auto che girano continuamente cariche e si fermano solo per ricaricare l'enrgia. Tutto gestibile on line

altre richieste in modo che la stessa auto sia condivisibile da altri passeggeri. L'auto munita di gps sarà in

Anche l'ambiente rientra nell'ordine della condivisione di un bene comune oggettivo da rispettare. La nostra

paesi UE sui codici della stradain fatto di velocità e pene per chi trasgredisce con guida in stato di ebbrezza
o sotto effetto di dreghe. Nei paesi dove è possibile impianti eolici o pannelli solare per produrre energia,
un po' alla volta eliminare le centrali a petrolio! Cercare di arrivare come in U.S.A. che la moneta sia unica
veramente, ovvero nei paesi U.E costi simili e stipendi simili, altrimenti l'Europa non sarà mai veramente unita.
Cominciare nelle scuole a studiare una lingua nuova frutto di varie lingue europee, da avere tra qualche anno

rimangano tali. Continuamo ad abusare della natura inquinando ed producendo quantità colossali di rifiuti.
Ci facciamo convincere che il segreto del benessere sia continuare far crescere il PIL, senza considerare
l'enorme giro di affari indotto sui finti valori aggiunti a prodotti, anche di prima necessità che hanno raggiunto
prezzi fuori da ogni logica. Stiamo inconsciamente rubando il futuro ai nostri figli.

evaluations: 15)
La salute dei cittadini è un bene primario e va tutelato. Per fare questo, è necessario intensificare i controlli
e punire più duramente i crimini contro l'ambiente. Il lavoro costituisce la forma di libertà più tangibile di cui
una persona possa fruire. Essendo la libertà il principio fondamentale della democrazia, è necessario, per il
bene dei singoli, ma anche delle comunità e delle aziende stesse datrici di lavoro, che i lavoratori siano tutelati
contro le speculazioni barbare nei loro confronti, sopratutto se donne. Le donne sono da sempre la parte
debole della società, quelle da cui la società pretende di più e da di meno. Andrebbero facilitate per il loro
doppio lavoro (lavoro per famiglia, figli, casa, e poi lavoro esterno), non ostacolate, come attualmente si fa.

Le aziende e i privati cittadini dovrebbero poter utilizzare le fonti di energia alternativa, specie solare ed eolica,
a costi meno proibitivi.
621. Ambiente telecomunicazioni trasporti (importance: 77%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 13)
L'integrazione tra Ambiente, telecomunicazioni e trasporti fornirebbe un modello diverso di società: Mettendo
al centro degli sforzi dell'Unione l'innovazione in agricoltura per un abbattimento delle emissioni ed una
magigore incentivazione delle risorse agricole date dalla filiera energetica, si otterrebbe un ambiente migliore,
migliorare le comunicazioni rendendole più accessibili a tutti i cittadini dell'unione faciliterebbe lo scambio di
conoscenze alla base delll'innovazione nel campo ambientale e di tutela della cittadinanza dalle variazioni
climatiche. Miglorare l'accesso e la qualità (ed abbattere i costi) delle comunicazioni produrrebbe una minor
necessità di spostamento per lavoro ed i trasporti potrebbero essere resi più efficienti e meno inquinanti
riducendo le emissioni dei singoli cittadini. inoltre l'incentivazione della mobilità ibrida prima e dell'economia
all'idrogeno poi, abbatterebbe notevolmente il carico inquinante prodotto dai cittadini e migliorerebbe
l'ambiente.
L'UE dovrebbe obbligare i PAesi Membri ad investire su fonti d'energia alternative come quella Eolica e
Solare.
623. energia,ambiente (importance: 77%, disagreement: 26, evaluations: 13)
Incrementare lo sfruttamento delle energie rinnovabili "pulite" come l'eolico, solare e geotermico con
infrastrutture investimenti e finanziamenti pubblici al fine di fornire ai cittadini e alle aziende energia ad un
costo inferiore e con minore impatto sull'ambiente. Per rendere competitiva l'economia europea è necessario
fornire alle imprese le migliori infrastrutture e i migliori servizi al costo piu basso possibile dal momento che
non è piu possibile contrastare le importazioni con misure protezionistiche nei confronti dei paesi terzi. Non è
contrario ai principi della libera economia che gli stati forniscano alle aziende sul proprio territorio e ai propri
cittadini servizi in grado di renderle competitive nei confronti delle aziende estere. L'energia è la linfa vitale del
sistema bisogna partire da questo problema affrontandolo con un particolare occhio di riguardo nei confronti
dell'ambiente, affinchè lo sviluppo nel presente non pregiudichi la sopravvivenza delle future generazioni.

Le soluzioni alternative al petrolio, per quanto se ne dica sono numerose ed applicabili. Le tecnologie valide

626. Salvaguardia dell' ambiente ed energie alternative (importance: 76%, disagreement: 20, evaluations:
10)
A mio parere si dovrebbero adottare, dopo gli sforzi già fatti, ulteriori politiche comunitarie di incentivazione
alle energie alternative atte all' introduzione obbligatoria in ogni stato di una percentuale di energia da
produrre con sistemi di produzioni fotovoltaici e/o similari. Ciò costituirebbe una seria, decisa e concreta
risposta ai fenomeni globali di inquinamento globale. Inoltre ciò costituirebbe uno stimolo economico non
indifferente verso una progressiva innovazione dei metodi di produzione di energia e di bioenergia. Infatti
le energie alternative costituendo già di per sè un settore potenzialmente trainante per tutte le economie
potrebbero essere un arma contro l' attuale congiuntura economica recessiva. Concretamente quindi sarebbe
una cosa molto costruttiva: -destinare fondi per la ricerca in materia -destinare fondi atti alla costituzione di
incentivi destinati alle stratificazioni reddituali medio basse della popolazione che consentirebbero la diffusione
di impianti di produzione energetica a livello domestico in maniera capillare. - legiferare e destinare risorse
alle società sanitarie, scuole, comuni in maniera da incentivare l' introduzione di questi impianti di produzione
energetica in tutte le strutture pubbliche europee. - destinare risorse a campagne di sensibilizzazione sulle
energie alternative in tutti gli stati appartenenti all' Unione Europea

Si potrebbere creare 2 o 3 grandi zone europee dove lo scambio di beni di consumo sia privilegiato(nord-
centro-sud),esempio :spagna portogallo,francia belgio,regno unito ed irlanda. oppure :italia austria germania
olanda danimarca.finlandia..e quindi dove le merci seguono la direttiva nord-sud e viceversa.In questo modo
si evitano spostamenti frammentati e schizoidi di merci che consumano più di quello che rendono.Per quello
che riguarda il problema agricolo,il mio parere è quello di creare dei consorzi europei dove in ogni anno si
dovrà decidere la direzione dei vari produttori nazionali tenendo presente le caratteristiche di ciascuna realtà
produttiva. la semplificazione dovrebbe riguardare anche altri aspetti della nostra comunità,dovremmo sentirci
un corpo unico,le scelte devono essere forti e volitive..potenziando gli aspetti ecocompatibili a tutti i livelli.

L'ambiente ha la priorità su ogni cosa. Se non ci affretteremo sarà troppo tardi. La criminalità organizzata è
il cancro della democrazia e di tutti i Paesi in cui esiste. L'unica cosa che si è fatta, concretamente, in tutto il
mondo è nata qui in sicilia negli anni '80; Eliminati Falcone e Borsellino, le maife mondiali hanno ripreso la loro
normale attività. La politica fa schifo. Perlomeno qui in Italia. Mafia e Politica non si disinguono. Non perché

sensi.
641. Aiutare i migranti e migliorare l'ambiente (importance: 74%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 9)
Vivo in Italia e la mia preoccupazione più grande è l'intolleranza che dilaga nel mio paese. Il nostro governo
fa una politica di non integrazione. E' noto a tutti cosa succede in Italia quando un barcone viene intercettato.
Vengono portati a Lampedusa e costretti a vivere nei CPA (moderni lager) stivati come animali e dopo
qualche mese di fermo in quel posto vengono poi messi su un aereo e rispediti a casa. Posso capire che a
livello legislativo sia una cosa da fare, ma perchè non ingrandire il CPA di Lampedusa? perchè non possono
stazionare in un posto accogliente dove ognuno ha un posto letto e dove non devono stare in 1200 in una
struttra che invece ne deve accogliere 300? Mi chiedo se la UE può aiutare l'Italia ad affrontare questa
situazione oltre alla dilagante intolleranza che regna nel mio paese. Il mio sogno è la Francia e l'Inghiltezza
dove comunità molo diverse tra di loro riescono a vivere senza problemi. Qui le comunità sono tutte divise e
gli Italiani non c'impiegano troppo a dare sfogo al razzismo. Per l'ambiente:obbligare le nazioni ad utilizzare
fonti alternative al petrolio. Incentivare la costruzione di pannelli solari per ogni casa e l'utilizzo dell'energia

645. ambiente, casa, formazione continua (importance: 74%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 13)
L'ambiente, e quindi la salute, è un settore che merita prioritaria attenzione. Se perdiamo la salute e
sprechiamo le risorse naturali, tutto il resto diventa secondario.Con esso la casa, perchè non sia più
accessibile solo a pochi a prezzo di un indebitamento per la vita, ma un progetto coltivabile da tutti. Il diritto ad
avere un luogo proprio non va negato ad alcuno. La formazione continua, ovvero un accesso alla conoscenza
che non si risolve con la fine degli studi universitari, deve essere un altro obiettivo permanente. L'acquisizione
di competenze mantiene vitali e propositivi ed è un capitale per tutta la collettività, non solo individualmente.

cittadini europei, Cancellare e punire comportamenti Berlusconiani che non potranno MAI giovare a una
società e determinare dei benefici sociali in nessun campo, possono solo portare regressione culturale,
tecnologica e sociale. La salute di un paese deve essere totale: psicologica, fisica e mentale; la cura e
protezione della salute si può assicurare solo in un ambiente avanzato tecnologicamente e scientificamente
che consente il contatto con la natura. La presenza di parchi, verde, aree protette in armonia ed equilibrio con

Oggigiorno abitiamo in un mondo in continuo movimento nel quale è praticamente impossibile vivere solo a
contatto con la gente del proprio paese. L'UE, avendo come motto l'unità nella diversità', è chiamata a favorire
un clima di proficuo scambio di opinioni ed idee. Dare la possibilità al dialogo a persone con idee costruttive
per la comunità ma che, per barriere di lingua o semplicemente per barriere storiche od ideologiche, non si
incontrerebbero mai, è un compito fondamentale dell'UE. Per poter adempire a questo alto e delicato compito
l'UE dovrebbe iniziare ad essere più incisiva sull'educazione dei ragazzi europei e cercare di sviluppare sin
dall'infanzia una coscienza europea. Questo si raggiungerebbe mediante programmi di scambio già dalle
medie. In questo modo i ragazzi non solo impareranno bene una terza lingua (l'inglese oramai deve essere
considerata come seconda lingua madre) ma inizieranno subito a conoscere la realtà e le genti di un altro
paese senza rimanere imbrigliato nei retaggi ideologici delle generazioni passate. Oltre a dare l'opportunità
d'integrazione fra i ragazzi, l'UE deve anche svolgere il delicato compito di far superare barriere antiche agli
adulti. Per quelli più attivi proporrei delle tavole rotonde con coetanei europei su problematiche che sono

università scadenti; inoltre il processo deve essere europeo e non nazionale, perché l'università deve essere
una risorsa di tutta l'UE, non solo del singolo paese membro. Sarebbe anche interessante promuovere

703. Educazione della classe politica, ricerca e sviluppo. (importance: 84%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 12)
Vista la totale incapacità della classe politica europea di prevedere, affrontare e approfittare: • I cambiamenti
storici della seconda metà degli anni ottanta, la caduta del muro di Berlino • L’attuale crisi finanziaria/
economica Diventa imperativo far crescere una classe politica attiva – in grado di proporre soluzioni e non
solo ubbidiente e capace solo di alzare la mano. Una scarsa classe politica frena tutta la vita di un paese.
Investire nella ricerca e lo sviluppo è fondamentale per il futuro dell’UE. Controllare di più i paesi membri sulle
regole fondamentali della democrazia in politica, diritti umani e investimento risorse.
704. studenti (importance: 84%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 16)
Devono essere date stesse opportunità a tutti gli studenti e quindi i titoli di studio devono avere stessa valenza
per tutte le università di tutti i paesi dell'Unione. Una laurea presa a bucarest deve essere dello stesso livello
di una presa a londra. Ciò si può raggiungere ponendo degli standard alle università che verranno monitorati
da esperti nell'ambito. Inoltre agli studenti devono essere concesse agevolazioni dall'affitto al vitto in base alle
condizioni economiche della famiglia.
Aumentare i fondi per la mobilità europea ed incentivare ulteriormente lo svolgimento di tirocini all'estero.
Promuovere il sistema universitario europeo come unico e favorire la competizione e comparazione tra le
università che lo costituiscono (elaborando magari un unico sistema di rating). Favorire la ricerca.
706. Coordinamento tra Ricerca Universitaria ed Industria (importance: 84%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 8)
Almeno in Italia lo scollamento tra Ricerca Universiataria ed Industria è enorme, dsono due mondi che, a parte
qualche eccezione, non si incontrano. La EU dovrebbe dare finanziamenti alla Ricerca Univesitaria con lo
scopo di fare in modo che l'Università interagisca con l'industria, i soldi sono dell'Università ma il progetto
deve essere concordato con l'industria su attività che interessino l'industria ed i cui proventi e proprietà
intelletuali rimangano all'industria (..altrimenti non se farà mai nulla !!)
707. Ricerca,Università Europea,Promozione Politica Univoca (importance: 84%, disagreement: 28,
evaluations: 8)
La ricerca sta alla base dello sviluppo, spesso non viene riconosciuto il merito della ricerca nell'innalzamento
della qualità della vita, le aziende pubbliche (tipo ASL) e private dovrebbero cooperare con i centri di
ricerca universitari e l'Unione Europea dovrebbe garantire i rapporti di comunicazione tra ricerca e azienda
creando un sistema virtuoso e funzionale. Le risorse destinate alla ricerca dovrebbero essere prodotte dalla
cooperazione con le aziende attraverso un processo di partecipazione agli utili delle aziende delle università
(incentivazione per i docenti a partecipare al management dell'università) La formazione culturale in genere
e universitaria in particolare dovrebbe essere unificata in tutt'europa nell'obbiettivo di una condivisione del
sapere e di un rafforzamento della diffusione delle conoscenze, l'unico punto di forza che ci rimane rispetto
all'area asiatica e americana è appunto il nostro know how ancora forte e concorrenziale. programmi di
incentivazione di scambio culturale fin dalle scuole medie e superiori, potrebbero aiutare la diffusione di una
cultura europea. Il sistema politico Europeo è percepito dai cittadini come una entità astratta supra partes, non
è chiaro il ruolo degli stati all'interno della UE (ci sono degli stati che pesano di più?), sembra che le regole
dettate dalla comunità europea non siano prodotte da una concertazione fra i vari stati membri. Occorre più
promozione del sistema Europa, e un'irrigidimento delle reg
708. Materie europee obbligatorie nella scuola elementare (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 14)
L'Unione Europea dovrebbe investire nell'educazione, in particolare creando corsi sull'Unione Europea in tutti i
paesi a partire dalla scuola elementare, potenziando in questo modo il senso di unione.
Mi piace immaginare che un giorno esisterà una unica università in tutta Europa, e sarà indifferente studiare a
Biella o a Amsterdam, ci si potrà spostare liberamente e si potranno seguire corsi in ogni parte d'Europa.
710. Occupazione, sicurezza, ricerca, educazione. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 6)
Bisogna aumentare i posti di lavoro fissi. Un uomo senza lavoro e' una persona disperata. Si crea cosi l'oddio
e la violenza. La sicurezza e' un fattore molto importante per la tranquillita' della vita. La ricerca crea nuovi
prodotti e posti di lavoro. Ho lasciato per ultima l'educazione che secondo me e' la piu importante area. Una
popolazione "educata" e' una popolazione sana.

711. Usare gli studenti (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 7)
Creare uno standard di valutazione specie universitario comune valutando la formazione che i singoli atenei
fornisco,potendo così garantire una meritocrazia e una vera valutazione della propria preparazione a livello
EU. Migliorare le possibilità di scambi e studi all' estero. Potenziare una cultura libera,creare dei luoghi
di confronto tra giovani,e una serie di conferenze riservate agli studenti di tutta europa,in cui ci si possa
confrontare su grandi temi e provare a fornire anche soluzioni e idee che alle generazioni più anziane non
possono venire in mente. Proporre ad esempio un tour europeo di euroministri che indicano tavole rotonde
aperte a studenti scelti. Offrire possibilità di stage più diffuse, anche se non o poco retribuite, in cui si possa
collaborare con istituzioni EU,usare gli studenti meritevoli.
712. stanziare fondi per giovani impegnati in università -ricerc (importance: 83%, disagreement: 12,

se l'unione europea stanziasse fondi direttamente gestibili e accessibili da giovani impegnati nel settore
dell'universtià e ricerca, non per la mobilità come già si fa, ma per rimanere nel proprio paese e nella propria
università, ciò che in italia chiamiamo "meritocrazia" sarebbe forse possibile.
713. Scuola e Universita (importance: 83%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 13)
Da studente metterei in primo piano l'universita, l'unione europea dovrebbe incentivare gli stati membri a
finanziare la ricerca e allo sviluppo di una nuova edilizia universitaria che risponda alle carenze di spazi di cui
soffrono alcune università italiane (per esempio l'UNISS). Inoltre amplierei il progetto Erasmus, aumentando
le borse di studio e le università associate al progetto.

La situazione della scuola italiana sta peggiorando di anno in anno. L'attuale governo, così come i precedenti,
hanno cercato di tagliare il più possibile non solo le spese inutili ma anche quelle necessarie. In un periodo
di crisi economica la certezza del lavoro finiti gli stuudi è importante. Per questo la UE dovrebbe muoversi
con misure concrete volte a permettere un aiuto ai giovani universitari in cerca di lavoro. Sto pensando ad
esempio a una banca dati internazionale, gestita dalla UE, dove le aziende possono offrire lavoro e i giovani
pubblicare i propri curriculum.

Abbattere i costi del lavoro ed aumentare la competività delle aziende. Sviluppare le fonti rinnovabili e

momentanea) nel mondo del lavoro. Ri-educare molti genitori che (malgrado l'età) veramente non
comprendono più cosa sia il "bene" per i propri figli. Troppe cose sono state perse come il concetto di famiglia,
il termine insegnamento e la vita sociale. Oggi si vive più come branchi chiusi e non come comunità

Le nuove generazioni sono la base della futura europa. Sono un'insegnante ed ho potuto constatare che i
ragazzi si sentono (per fortuna) molto più cittadini europei dei loro genitori. Ritengo necessario potenziare tale
aspetto incentivando ulteriormente la comunicazione on line e gli scambi tra studenti ed insegnanti europei,
che attualmente non è uniforme nel territorio europeo e nei singoli stati.

729. Istruzione universitaria (importance: 80%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 15)
Vorrei che ci fossero maggiori e più semplici opportunità di studio, stage e lavoro nell'ambito dell'Unione
Europea. Maggiori stanziamenti per il programma Erasmus certamente gioverebbero, la borsa di studio
mensile è infatti insufficiente a coprire anche solo la metà delle spese sostenute durante il soggiorno
all'estero. Bisognerebbe valutare l'opportunità di rendere il riconoscimento degli esami sostenuti durante il
periodo Erasmus più flessibile, in modo da consentire agli studenti di prolungare il loro periodo di permanenza
presso l'Ateneo ospitante (al momento in Italia è richiesta la compatibilità fra gli esami inseriti nel piano di studi
della propria facoltà di appartenenza e quello della facoltà ospitante, secondo criteri più rigidi rispetto a quelli
adottati in altri Paesi UE, come ho potuto constatare). Inoltre dovrebbe essere garantito il riconoscimento dei
titoli di studio conseguiti negli altri Paesi dell'Unione Europea: questo in parte accade già ma trovo che non sia
ancora stato raggiunto un sufficiente grado di uniformità.

Credo che l' Unione europea dvrebbe aiutare i ragazzi con esigue risorse economiche a completare il
percorso di studi universitario in quanto le borse di studio offerte dal nostro Paese sono spesso insuficienti.
Inoltre bisognerebbe favorire gli scambi Erasmus negli altri Paesi dell'unione a costo zero o per lo meno
offrendo aiuti economici consistenti per effettuare periodi di tirocinio o studio negli altri Paesi. Io frequento
il primo anno di Infermieristica e l'anno prossimo vorrei andare in Spagna per qualche mese col progetto
Erasmus ed effettuare il periodo di tirocinio nelle strutture ospedaliere spagnole soprattutto per capire e
vedere come funziona lì la sanità . Purtroppo ciò sarà molto difficile perchè oltre a continuare a pagarel'affitto
qua in Italia dovrò pagarmelo anche in Spagna oltre al viaggio e tutto il resto a mio carico.

presso università estere, ma a maggiori opportunità per periodi brevi, ad esempio durante l'estate, per
studiare in scuole specializzate, potendo magari usufruire di agevolazioni economiche. sarebbe ottimo se
inoltre si cercasse di potenziare la collaborazione tra le università dei vari stati, così da poter frequentare

la liberta altrui di agire nella propria vita . si deve organizzare un sistema di produzione basato sulla reale

774. agevolazione studio e ricerca, educazione (importance: 72%, disagreement: 29, evaluations: 11)
Penso sia importante che gli stati membri dell'unione finanzino la ricerca in campi scientifici. Le scoperte in
questi campi, come si sa, si ripercuotono nel tempo sulle industrie e sul mercato, ma piu di ogni altra cosa
bisognerebbe formare le persone alla ricerca. Come primo punto verrei lamentare il fatto che i master offerti
da iniziative come "erasmus mundus" finanziata dall'unione europea non prevedono borse per studenti
europei quando invece sono previste per quelli di altri paesi. Va bene che si vuole fare dell'Europa un "centro
di ricerca mondiale", ma altri paesi come gli Stati Uniti non offrono queste opportunita cosa che pone gli
studenti europei in svantaggio. Un altro punto fondamentale consiste nel far capire alle persone qual'è la
vera importanza di questo campo. Dare cioè alla ricerca un aspetto sociale anche partendo dal basso, dalle
scuole elemntari e medie. Lottare, in questo senso, contro l'analfabetismo scientifico e il semianalfabetismo in
generale. In una città come la mia, nonostatnte la fama universitaria, gli appartenenti alla comunità scientifica
non solo non vengono capiti dalla maggioranza della popolazione, ma vengono visti come se venissero da
altri pianeti. Penso sia un problema di fondo e non si risolve con un semplice incontro su quanto sia bella la
ricerca, al contrario, bisogna prendere provvedimenti a lungo termine che lavorino sulla cultura della persona
sin da piccola e la accompagnino nel tempo, senza aspettarsi risultati immedia

I piccoli centri italiani nascondono opportunità di sviluppo fra le pieghe della loro storia e della loro cultura.
Storia e cultura che si stanno dissolvendo per via di una "micro" fuga di cervelli e della prepotenza lavorativa
dei grandi poli metropolitani. Le comunità piccole e medie (fino a 10mila abitanti) sono sempre meno
consapevoli delle proprie potenzialità, anche in chiave globale, e incapaci di fare sistema. Allo stesso tempo
un sistema metropolitano come quello romano sembra vicino al collasso, ormai saturato da un pendolarismo
che non sembra più in grado di sostenere, gestire, declinare attraverso la sua rete di servizi. La Comunità
Europea potrebbe favorire la stanzialità nei piccoli centri attraverso l'educazione dei giovani allo sviluppo
sostenibile in chiave territoriale, assolutamente compatibile con le nuove sensibilità globali nei confronti
dell'ambiente e delle identità locali.

Promuovere l'Università Pubblica, e non concedere finanziamenti a quella privata, in modo tale che tutti
abbiano l'opportunità e l'occasione di iscriversi all'Università. In questa maniera aumenterebbe la conoscenza
e la competitività del singolo individuo e dell'intera comunità europea.

786. diffusione della rete,internazionalizzazione dell'universit� (importance: 68%, disagreement: 23,
evaluations: 11)
accesso alla rete libero per aumentare la possibilità di un'informazione libera ed indipendente. dare a tutti la
possibilità di cercare personalmente le informazioni e le notizie che gli interessano. rendere obbligatorio un
periodo di studio all'estero per facilitare la conoscenza di una lingua dell'UE e per promuovere la circolazione
della creatività.
787. Dovrebbe aiutare di più noi studenti nel trovare un lavoro. (importance: 68%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 10)
Io credo che l'UE aiuti gli studenti, nello studio, nello scambio culturale, in un certo senso anche nel trovare un
posto di lavoro. Ma nonostante questo la grande maggioranza degli studenti, anche lavoratori, non ha fiducia
nel proprio futuro. Sa che prima o poi sarà disoccupato e dovrà ricominciare daccapo a cercare un altro
lavoro. Questo non va secondo me. L'UE dovrebbe investire di più nei giovani e nel loro lavoro
788. nello studio (importance: 67%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 9)
vorrei che ci fossero più oppuùortunità di studio a livello comunitario per i giovani europei.

789. Gruppi di lavoro internazionali e studio di regole stabili. (importance: 66%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 8)
Creare commissioni di giovani provenienti da vari paesi che studino un modo per migliorare il "mondo
lavorativo" europeo scegliendo tra le procedure dei vari stati ed intersecandole, in modo d'avere un unico
modo operativo. Modificare alcune regole, per dare una stabilità europea così da essere in minor modo
dipendente da altre nazioni, senza però cadere in un possibile protezionismo che rischierebbe di intaccare
l'equilibrio di import-exprort. Favorendo, però, con dei controlli maggiori la limitazione delle merci in entrata e
alzando la qualità di quelle in uscita, si farebbe in modo che il mercato faccia sempre più delle scelte verso
prodotti europei ( in particolare italiani ) a discapito di altri paesi. Questo farebbe rientrare più moneta nelle
casse europee e di conseguenza porterebbe più investimenti e successivamente posti di lavoro: facendo
così "girare" in un modo più proficuo l'economia europea, semplicemente per due principali motivi: più soldi
in europa, e quindi economia più forte; e più debole in altri paesi. Così che in divario europa-resto del mondo
giocherebbe a nostro favore. Inoltre si dovrebbero instaurare delle agevolazioni economiche per cittadini
europei, limitando così le "uscite" economiche dei cittadini. Paolo Filippone

Sarebbe bello avere la possibilità di trascorrere qualche mese in altri Paesi appartenenti all'Unione effettundo
degli scambi con studenti che frequentano lo stesso corso di laurea e quindi soggiornando presso le rispettive
famiglie di questi ultimi o presso la loro abitazione e viceversa. Questi scambi oltre ad avere il vantaggio di
essere a basso costo offrono la possibilità a noi ragazzi di poter cogliere in una prospettiva "europea" ciò che
sarà domani il nostro lavoro e quindi il nostro futuro. Credo inoltre che ciò rappresenti una grande occasione
di crescita culturale.

Gruppo su Facebook, da me fondato: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.

dei Valori locale, Emilio Mastropaolo, alla Coalizione di nuovo Centro-Sinistra che sostiene Maria Rosa
Malinverno Sindaco di Rozzano, e integrato nel programma. Il castello (da adibire a direzione generale
internazionale e 8 su 9 settori didattico-operativi consigliati) sarà da riacquisire, tramite un certo meccanismo
di oneri di 'compensazione' dall'attuale proprietario e, assieme al palazzo (del demanio comunale, in frazione
Ponte Sesto, da adibire al settore sportivo, uno dei 9 previsti/suggeriti), da ristrutturare e rendere funzionale
al progettone. Prima cosa che faremo, tramite esperti, sarà presentare un social business plan alla UE. Ieri,
giovedì 30 aprile 2009, nel pomeriggio, ho personalmente consegnato copia a stampa del flash testuale

Tutti i territori della TERRA, dovrebbero essere aperti e disponibili ad ogni possibile programmato utilizzo (
coltivazioni, allevamenti, fabbriche, costruzioni civili e pubbliche,strutture turistiche e campi sportivi, arene,
teatri,palestre,ecc...). Chi chiede ed ottiene la concessione dell'area utile per la realizzazione del progetto non
ottiene la proprietà dell'area ma solo il suo utilizzo,per la quale paga periodicamente all'ente concessionario
il "quid" stabilito. E' però proprietario della struttura realizzata che può affittare o vendere. Tutti icittadini
avrebbero pari opportunità d'intraprendere a costi dimezzati eliminando discriminizzazioni ed esclusività
perchè la terra è di tutta l'umanità che vi nasce e ci deve vivere con pari opportunità . Se questa visionaria
chimera si potesse realizzare in campo mondiale non avrebbero più senso i nazionalismi e le guerre
territoriali. Il mondo sarebbe di tutta l'umanità con la organizzata produzione ripartizione e distribuzioni
di risorse, alimentari tecniche e scentifiche e turismo universale con buona pace e vbenessere per tutti.
Dispongo per questo sintetico progetto un mio piccolo grossolano sviluppo. Ennio SCIOTTI un italiano pro

795. Ricerca e l'Università come qualità nella vita quotidiana.
Molto spesso le persone non comprendono il legame che c'è tra Ricerca-Università e qualità nella
vita quotidiana di tutto i giorni. Qualsiasi settore la ricerca è fondamentale, dalle scoperte in campo
medico a quelle di tipo sociale. Servirebbe far aumentare questa consapevolezza in tutti noi.

796. legalità (importance: 93%, disagreement: 7, evaluations: 12)
il parlamento europeo dovrebbe legiferare in materia di legalità, ovvero impedire l'accesso al parlamento ai
condannati in via definitiva. e definire in qualche modo dei deterrenti verso quei paesi che hanno un alto
tasso di illegalità nelle amministrazioni pubbliche
797. burocrazia più semplice (importance: 92%, disagreement: 6, evaluations: 11)
unificazione di normative e processi burocratici, par diritti e opportunità per tutti i cittadini e tutela per i
lavoratori extracomunitari

801. Lotta contro la corruzione e contro l'evasione fiscale. (importance: 90%, disagreement: 14,

In italia c'e' molta corruzione ed i politici pensano ai loro interessi piu' che al bene comune
802. ridurre il livello di corruzione degli amministratori (importance: 90%, disagreement: 10, evaluations:
12)
In Italia il livello di corruzione di amministratori e politici è ormai sopra ogni livello di guardia. Opprimono
ogni processo di sviluppo e dirottano molte risorse, anche europee, verso società fittizie, assolutamente
improduttive per averne un proprio tornaconto.
803. Semplificazione burocratica (importance: 89%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 16)
L'Italia subisce gli effetti deleteri di una burocrazia estremamente pesante, che rallenta ogni processo
decisionale, le attività economiche, la pubblica amministrazione e rende molto difficile al privato cittadino
difendersi da prevaricazioni e violazioni dei propri diritti. Sarebbe sicuramente utile imporre un allineamento
delle procedure burocratiche italiane a quelle, molto più semplici, del resto d'Europa
804. Diritti Umani (importance: 89%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 17)
Attuare un maggiore controllo sulla legislazione dei diversi paesi UE elaborando serie misure punitive (a livello
economico) per quei paesi che non rispettino i diritti umani, limitino la libertà di stampa e sviluppino misure
razziste nella regolazione dell'immigrazione

In Italia la corruzione politica, la connivenza con pratiche illegittime e perfino illegali, a tutti i livelli
amministrativi, ha raggiunto dimensioni sconcertanti, condizionando moltissimi aspetti dell'azione del governo
centrale così come di quelli locali. L'Europa ha o dovrebbe avere il potere di mettere fuori legge e sanzionare
tutte le pratiche amministrative che non rispettano requisiti di trasparenza e legalità

Diritti, lavoro e giustizia sociale sono i tre campi dai quali dipendono le condizioni di vita di tutti noi.

Corruzione politica che non da la possibilità di emergere a chi non ha agganci. Trasparenza libertà tutela dei
più deboli
810. ambiente, corruzione, criteri di selezione per i parlamentar (importance: 88%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 12)
Cos'ì com'è, l'UE è un bellissimo animale senza testa, il vertice di una piramide che però non conta nulla e ha
una piccola influenza sulle vicende politico-economiche di un singolo stato. Sembra essere una megastruttura
creata dai potenti per aumentare il proprio potere e per relagare incarichi retribuiti profumatamente a soggetti
che riescono ad ottenerli per lo più grazie a un curriculum costruito in anni di clientelismo e compromessi
politico- elettorali. Il popolo non sa nulla di quello che accade in Europa. L'UE non riesce a esplicare un'azione
incisiva che possa cambiare le sorti di un destino che sembra inevitabilmente segnato. Il patto di stabilità è
una presa in giro perchè i famosi parametri vengono puntualmente disattesi (è ovvio, non si può sintetizzare
tutto in pochi numeri e sperare che gli stati rispettino questi numeri, senza avere nessuna influenza sulle
scelte politico-economiche) e il rapporto deficit/PIL sembra più un'opinione personale che un criterio obiettivo
(oltre che essere una sorta di "gabbia" che costringe i governanti a prevedere misure una tantum per "tappare
buchi" piuttosto che fare riforme strutturali). La politica non è in grado di guardare oltre il proprio naso, se non
per i propri personali interessi. Dove sono finiti tutti i soldi "persi" dal popolo a causa dell'euro? nelle tasche
delle lobby ovviamente (certo non dimentico che l'euro ha garantito maggiore stabilità). Il valore dell'euro è
troppo elevato rispetto al dolla
811. Legalità, di lavoro per i giovani, meritocrazia. (importance: 88%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 6)
Promuovere comunicare l'importanza dell'Europa e della libera circolazione del pensiero delle persone,
educare i giovani alla legalità dando delle possibilità concrete per chi merita e badare sempre alla qualità
riguardo qualunque tipologia di bando Europeo dando la possibilità di far partecipare anche piccolissime realtà
che attraverso le idee e la qualità del lavoro potrebbero avere la possibilità di emergere e di svilupparsi .
812. Meno burocrazia (importance: 87%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 21)
L'UE dovrebbe contribuire a semplificare, razionalizzare e integrare le pubbliche amministrazioni dei paesi
membri specialmente per quanto riguarda le necessità dei cittadini che vivono in un altro paese dell'Unione.
Sono stato testimone in prima persona dell'odissea senza fine di una cittadina francese che richiedeva
semplicemente l'iscrizione all'anagrafe del comune di Forio d'Ischia (NA), in Italia. La vicenda è riassunta qui:

a studiare all'estero nell'ambito del progetto Erasmus.
813. armonizzazione dei diritti-doveri dei cittadini (importance: 87%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 9)
L'Unione Europea dovrebbe ambire al raggiungimento di un livello omogeneo nei servizi, nella tutela
della persona, nei diritti e nei doveri di tutti i cittadini, garantendo condizioni di vita ed opportunità uguali a
qualunque persona viva e lavori nella UE
815. lavoro, diritti civili (importance: 87%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 12)
corsi di riqualificazione professionale validi in tutta UE, salario sociale dell'UE negli stati europei che non lo
prevedono, istituzione europea matrimonio x coppie omosessuali, leggi antinquinamento
816. Lotta alla corruzione (importance: 87%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 18)
Lotta a tutte le mafie. Valorizzazione del merito e delle capacità personali, e non delle raccomandazioni.
817. L'UE deve lottare per i diritti civili dei propri cittadini. (importance: 87%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 10)
Per una coppia omosessuale in Italia non esiste la possibilità di ottenere quei diritti (affitto, reversibilità,
assistenza medica, adozioni...) che sono ad esempio possibili in Francia o Germania (anche se con forme
giuridiche diverse). L'Europa dovrebbe lottare affinché tutti i propri cittadini possano ottenere questi diritti
irrinunciabili, anche a costo di andare contro alcuni governi e sopratutto contro alcune autorità religiose. Avete
fatto l'Europa delle Banche, e non abbiamo avuto la sensazione che ci abbia migliorato la vita (anche se forse
noi italiani con la lira ora saremmo messi male, temo...). Ora fate l'Europa dei Diritti, è un'occasione storica
fondamentale per un continente che 65 anni fa sapeva solo spararsi addosso.

In sostanza, entrando nella UE si è sempre politicizzato il discorso delle pari opportunità ed in particolare gli
stipendi degli impiegati pubblici, militari di "accomodarli" nella stessa quantità di altri colleghi che vivono in
paesi dell comunità europea. Di fatto non è mai stato così, mentre i politici gli stipendi italiani se li aumentano
tranquillamente...

824. Burocrazia (importance: 86%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 14)
Cercare di sveltire le pratiche burocratiche in ogni ambito della vita pubblica: dalla giustizia
all'amministrazione, dalla sanità pubblica a ciò che concerne casa e istruzione e alle opere pubbliche.
Mi aspetterei un coordinamento a livello europeo di alcune indicazioni di linea generale che mirino
all'abbattimento di quelle barriere allo sviluppo sociale che sono le pratiche burocratiche.

826. diritti e doveri uguali per tutti;pari opportunità per tutt (importance: 85%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 8)
la mia vita migliorerebbe se pagassero tutti le tasse: abolizione dei paradisi fiscali e lotta sia all'evasione
fiscale, sia al lavoro in nero che in italia hanno raggiunto picchi inimmaginabili! La mia vita cambierebbe se
le mie figlie invece di esser vessate dallo Stato trovassero più spazio , più aiuto e qualche finanziamento per
lavorare con più serenità anzi per lavorare proprio senza angoscia di non farcela!
827. Snellimento burocrazia,sviluppo sostenibile, pene certe (importance: 85%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 15)
L'attuazione delle politiche di sviluppo economico (energie rinnovabili, gestione produttiva dei rifiuti, ecc..)
sono rallentate da iter burocratici e istruttori lunghissimi, la funzione pubblica di istruttoria è la più lenta e la
meno qualificata in quanto i funzionari preposti non sono scelti in base al merito ma a spartizioni politiche.
Lo sviluppo sostenibile è un'argomento demagogico, utilizzato in campagna elettorale dai vari schieramenti
politici, la filosofia di attuazione di tali politiche dovrebbe essere univoca un tutti gli stati dell'UE chiaramente
tenendo conto delle effettive possibilità dei singoli, non è possibile che uno stato può produrre energia
elettrica da centrali nucleari e un'altro no, ne tantomeno è possibile che gli stati dell'unione si accordino
autonomamente con i produttori di petrolio, imporre l'euro come moneta di riferimento sarebbe una
conseguenza auspicabile se gli stati dell'UE trattassero l'acquisti di beni primari facendo una sorta di "Cartello
di Acquisto". Le politiche fiscali e ed esecutive non funzionano appieno per la mancanza di "certezza delle
pene", comportamenti truffaldini ed elusivi sono incentivati dalla mancata attuazione di un sistema punitivo
efficente. L'immunità parlamentare deve essere un sistema di protezione del cittadino, affinchè il governo
possa svolgere il suo ruolo senza impedimenti pretestuosi. E' sempre più diffusa invece l'opinione che il
sistema dell'immunità non funzioni

828. laicità, legalità, rispetto. (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 9)
vorrei che l'EU facesse pressioni sull'italia per aumentarne il livello di laicità. l'invadenza religiosa nel mio
paese è ogni giorno più arrogante. inoltre la chiesa cattolcia riceve dalo stato italiano, secondo prudenti stime,
almeno 4 miliardi di € l'anno. vorrei che fossero definite norme a livello comunitario riguardo le normative per
esempio degi appalti, che ci vengano imposte norme più rigide che non siano facili da aggirare come quelle
odierne (si vedano per esempio le costruzioni "antisismiche" che si sono sbriciolate in abruzzo). inoltre in
itali manca uno spontaneo rispetto per le minoranze, che vengono ripetutamente ignorate o pubblicamnete
offese, senza possibilità di replica, da parte di esponenti religiosi (in particolare i sostenitori del diritto di
autodeterminazione, gli omosessuali e chiunque sia in disaccordo)
829. Rispetto della legalità e più opportunità per i giovani (importance: 85%, disagreement: 14,
evaluations: 16)
Viviamo nella prima epoca storica dove i figli stanno peggio dei genitori e le opportunità per migliorare il nostro
stile di vita sono bloccate dal sistema corrotto in cui viviamo. Non c'è più sincerità e trasparenza nemmeno
col proprio datore di lavoro che non cerca più di valutare se una cosa sia giusta o sbagliata ma se sia
conveniente o meno per l'azienda (per i soldi). Noi giovani abbiamo le armi ma non sappiamo usarle. In Italia
e in ogni paese europeo servirebbe un organo di sicurezza internazionale che vigili sulla legalità come terza
parte coinvolta e che non si faccia intimorire dal sistema "malato" dello Stato in questione.
830. Energia, Istruzione, Lotta alla corruzione (importance: 85%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 17)
L'Unione Europea dovrebbe avviare un piano energetico trans nazionale volto ad aumentare
l'approvvigionamento energetico mediante fonti rinnovabili. Altra priorità dovrebbe essere l'istruzione e
l'istituzione id centri studio europei capaci di accogliere i migliori studenti da tutta l'Unione. La corruzione è un
dramma per molte nazioni dell'Unione è necessario abbatterla.
832. corruzione nella politica (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 16)
833. Standardizzare regolamenti e leggi (importance: 85%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 10)
Ci sono troppe disparità tra paesi UE, da cose banali come le spine della corrente a cose più serie come i
contratti collettivi del lavoro. Un mercato unico e aperto è realmente concorrenziale se le regole del gioco
sono eque a tutti i livelli. Perché un dipendente italiano si vede meno in tasca rispetto ad un pari livello
francese? Specie poi se c'è una disparità (inversa) di servizi? Perché anche il datore di lavoro si trova con
ostacoli che variano da paese a paese?
834. Uguaglianza dei diritti e meritocrazia (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 15)
L'eu dovrebbe garantire a tutti i cittadini europei gli stessi diritti. In Italia gli omosessuali sono legalemente
discriminati e non tutelati nei loro legami affettivi. In oltre a Napoli e nel sud Italia bisognerebbe agire sulla
mentalità della maggior parte della popolazione per tentare di istruire al riciclo, al rispetto e alla meritocrazia

Europeo. Questo dovrebbe essere possibile sanzionando o limitando gli aiuti in caso di inadempienze.

Regolamentare, attraverso regolamenti e non direttive, tutta la materia dei diritti civili e di cittadinanza delle
persone omosessuali e transessuali, garantendo l'accesso ai diritti basilari e fondamentali già garantiti alle

839. salvaguardia dei diritti umani (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 16)
negli ultimi anni lo spirito con cui gli Stati hanno contribuito alla nascita della Comunità Europea è andato man
mano scemando, si assiste ad una chiusura degli Stati a difesa della propria "identita" che sfocia anche con
provvedimenti che possiamo denire razzisti. A mio parere è una paura al confronto da parte dei cittadini ed ad
una immaturità politica di chi ci governa.
842. nell'imporre lo snellimento della burocrazia statale (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12, evaluations:
16)
in Italia a volte abbiamo il terrore di ritrovarci ad aver a che fare con l'obsoleto apparato burocratico.. Snellirlo,
informatizzarlo, velocizzarlo sarebbe una direttiva giusta e segno di democrazia moderna
843. Vorrei che l'ue garantisse uguali diritti a tutti (importance: 83%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 11)
In particolare credo che l'ue dovrebbe far si che gli stessi diritti siano garantiti in tutti i paesi membri, mi
riferisco in particolare al modo in cui in italia sono discriminati e non tutelati legalmente gli omosessuali.
Motivo per cui molti ragazzi e ragazze decidono di fare cittadinanza all'estero per vedere riconosciuti i loro
legami affettivi. In oltre la priorità credo debba essere garantire e tutelare i diritti dei giovani che entrano nel
mondo del lavoro e che per anni sono costretti a restare precari
844. Legge per l'elezioni Parlamento Europeo (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 10)
Che senso ha parlare di Europa e di Parlamento Europeo se ogni stato ha la legge che gli aggrada, e ogni
partito fa come gli pare? Sarebbe necessario pensare ad una legge elettorale europea unica, uniforme,
proporzionale, che riconosca le identità nazionali e i partiti delle minoranze etniche, ma che al tempo stesso
preveda una competizio tra partiti europei, non nazionali, con sbarramento al 2% europeo (non nazionale)
845. Istruzione, Formazione, Informazione, Diritti (importance: 83%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 18)
L'Unione Europea fa già tanto a mio parere per i cittadini europei, ma spesso questi non riescono a percepirlo.
L'Unione Europea dovrebbe cercare di investire ancora di più nell'istruzione e nella formazione dei giovani,
per cercare di costruire in essi uno spirito europeo che li porti ad essere in futuro veri cittadini dell'Unione
Europea. Si dovrebbero quindi creare programmi nelle scuole d'informazione e di comunicazione dell'Unione
Europea, si dovrebbero incentivare gli scambi tra le varie scuole, finanziare borse di studio per gli studenti
che vogliono formarsi all'estero. Il programma LLP-Erasmus non è sufficiente a coprire le esigenze degli
studenti universitari. Servirebbero più accordi tra le università europee che possano permettere agli studenti
di ricevere una formazione più completa, più europea. Potrebbero ad esempio esserci accordi che permettano
agli studenti di trascorre un certo periodo in un'altra università europea; oppure servirebbe permettere agli
studenti di ripetere l'Erasmus più di una volta nel corso dei loro studi. E' necessaria una migliore campagna
di informazione dei cittadini europei, dei loro diritti e delle loro opportunità, per tutte le fasce d'età e in modo
costante. Gli uffici già presenti dovrebbero meglio integrarsi nella comunità e anche gli enti locali dovrebbero
impegnarsi a tale scopo. Servirebbero anche mezzi di informazione su scala europea (canale tv, giornali) per
rendere anche l'informazione "europea" e non più sol

evaluations: 14)
Penso che il lavoro sia alla base di tutto,sia a livello personale sia a livello di crescita economica..(se io
lavoro sto bene e contribuisco alla crescita del mio paese facendo "girare" l'economia). Mi rendo conto che
siamo in un periodo di crisi ma mi chiedo perchè agevolare le imprese consentendogli di assumere con i
contratti di collaborazione che a noi giovani non ci permettono di creare un futuro! Siamo noi il futuro del
nostro paese quindi vorrei che l'UE intervenisse nel nostro paese per modificare, o meglio abrogare, la
Legge Biagi. A mio parere i contratti contenuti nella lagge non migliorano la situazione dell'Italia che è già di
per sè un paese in decadenza..consente alle imprese di arricchirsi e a noi lavoratori di impoverirci..! E'giusto
agevolare le imprese perchè sono loro alla base dell'economia ma se se un lavoratore viene assunto con
un contratto di dipendenza e non di collaborazione può godere di più privilegi e può investire di più per il
suo futuro. Invstendo di più crea più profitti alle imprese che a loro volta assumeranno nuovi lavoratori..e il
ciclo ricomincia. Ad oggi invece la situazione è ben diversa...si pensa al risparmio perchè il lavoro oggi c'è
ma domani no si sà e,da studente di economia,sò bene che l'aumento del risparmio "blocca "l'economia e di
conseguenza le imprese sono costrette a licenziare. Quindi,in conclusione,vorrei spingere la vostra attenzione
sulla situazione lavorativa del mio paese.

Garantire a tutti i cittadini europei i diritti fondamentali adeguando il costo della vita di ciascun paese, a
quello del paese che ha i costi più bassi. Esempio : In Germania un appartamento in affitto a Berlino di 50mq
arredato costa 300 euro al mese, in Italia lo stesso in centro a Bologna o Modena o Pisa costa da 700 ai 1000
euro / mese... L'Italia deve adeguarsi SUBITO!!!!! Quindi : - Case ad un prezzo giusto per tutti; - Assistenza
medico / sanitaria gratis per tutti (via qualsiasi costo in Italia vengono già detratti dalla busta paga!!!) -
Istruzione fino all'età superiore (19 anni) gratuita - Lavoro per tutti e stipendi adeguati al costo della vita (in
Italia un operaio prende circa 950 euro al mese!!! in Germania ? si parla di circa 2000 euro mese!!!)

851. Garantire pari diritti e doveri a tutti i cittadini dell'UE (importance: 83%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 18)
L'UE dovrebbe concentrare i suoi sforzi non solo sul mercato unico ma anche su i suoi cittadini. Sono le
persone a fare una nazione ed il sentimento di appertenenza europea non può esistere solo perché si usa
la stessa moneta o perché si può viaggiare libeamente tra gli stati membri. Se un cittadino può godere di un

ci sono scelte di governi che non tengono conto della tutela dei diritti e dell'imposizione di doveri, vorrei
che i miei figli, cui ho insegnato giustizia e rispetto della legge, vivano in una italia dove non si muoia di
lavoro, dove alla scuola non siano sottratti fondi a favore di politici o di grandi opere che non saranno mai
funzionali alle esigenze di una nazione come la nostra. vorrei che i fondi europei messi a disposizione non
servano ad arricchire pochi ma a creare possibilità di sviluppo per molti. vorrei che una costituzione europea
faccia si che un cittadino italiano sia equiparato agli altri europei. dateci una costituzione e fatela osservare,
vigilate perchè non si arricchiscano individui senza scrupoli, tutelate il nostro patrimonio paesaggistico da
grandi opere che saranno "deleterie cattedrali nel deserto". permettete a ragazzi di grande genio di essere
in grado di rappresentare le loro esigenze ed intervenite sulla legge elettorale italiana, che non mi permette
di scegliere una persona per il suo impegno e non per la sua appartenenza ad una casta. Sono stata una
malata di cancro, ho 47 anni, insegno in una scuola elementare, vivo la vita della gran parte degli italiani e
come loro so cosa è importante per la gente comune. Non ci serve il ponte sullo stretto di messina, ci servono
edifici scolastici adeguati, residenze per anziani, ospedali che funzionino. l'europa può imporre dei canoni

867. multiculturalità-diritti e doveri-ambiente (importance: 81%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 8)
Diritti e doveri:Dovrebbe garantire che gli stati membri si adeguassero alle direttive date e in caso contrario
non dovrebbero essere penalizzati con delle sanzioni all stato:in questo caso infatti pagano i cittadini che
non fanno le leggi! L'unione europea dovrebbe garantire i cittadini europei, anche quelli che hanno governi
inefficenti.Dovrebbe a tal fine essere giudicato dalla stessa corte europea l'inadempienza di un governo
facendolo pagare direttamente,per la sua inadempienza.Altrimenti che cittadini europei siamo?i francesi
saranno di serie a,gli inglesi di serie B ecc...nuovamente in dipendenza dallo stato appartenente! Se
l'europa è degli europei un cittadino europeo, in qualunque parte di europa deve ricevere gli stessi servizi
e trattamenti, diritti e doveri. I parlamentari di tutti i governi dovrebbero avere uguali stipendi e essere
giudicati meritocraticamente. Le infrastrutture dovrebbero essere garantite in tutti gli stati membri, ecc..
Multiculturalità:Lunione europea dovrebbe garantire la diffusione di tutte le culture senza penalizzarne alcuna
perchè la crescita nasce dalla diversità...che è una ricchezza! Ambiente:nessuno stato dovrebbe poter
legiferare a suo piacimento per quello che è un bene di tutti:la Terra! L'unione europe sull'ambiente dovrebbe
dare leggi n on principi, di diretta ed immediata applicazione su tutto il territorio.Agli stati dovrebbe rimanere la
funzione di controllo esecutivo ma non dei principi base!

869. Media education:ponte per la tutela diritti e meritocrazia (importance: 80%, disagreement: 14,

Io ritengo che l'Unione europea debba focalizzare la propria attenzione sulla costruzione di una cultura di
consapevolezza per la tutela dei diritti umani ed impegno per la lotta a favore della meritocrazia, inserendola
nelle politiche educative a livello nazionale ed internazionale. Pertanto il rafforzamento del ruolo dei mass
media di diffusione e di adeguata informazione assume una valenza strategica al fine di facilitare la
formazione diffusa di "individual behaviour" dei singoli cittadini, tale da poter fare pressione sui Governi che
si reggono proprio sul consenso elettorale della comunità collettiva.

E' necessario cimentarsi ed essere affinacati in tutti gli ambiti. Tutto ciò è necessario avvenga nella piena

873. Libera circolazione dei cittadini e diritti (importance: 80%, disagreement: 22, evaluations: 11)
Libera circolazione servizi: -Prezzi dei servizi postali ed invio sms (costa di meno inviare un pacchetto a
2000km di distanza all'interno di uno stesso paese, piuttosto che inviarlo oltre frotinere a qualche km.: dov'é
la libera ciroclazione) -In parecchi casi inviare un sms in America latina costa meno (od uguale) che inviarlo
ad'un altro paese UE : ha un senso parlare di mercato unico? Quando inviare un sms a Bogota mi costa
meno che inviarlo a Bordeaux? -Servizi di VOD e diritti. Se vivi in un altro paese (Spagna per esempio ) non
si possono vedere i servizi, reportage che per esempio un canale pubblico (Francese) mette a disposizione
su internet. Im ercati sono totalmente cloisonné Libera coricolazione cittadini e diritti: Estendere il diritto di
voto del cittadino UE residente in un altro paese UE a tutte le elezioni amministrative Cercare di creare un
sistema di identificazione comune (n. di indetità - n. di sistema sicurezza sociale), attualmente é assai confusa

L'Europa dovrebbe maggiormente intervenire e anche più concretamenet con leggi ad oc in quei paesi come
l'Italia (ma non solo) dove questi diritti sono sempre più calpestati nel nome di una malinterpretata necessità di
governabilità o di radici culturali del nostro passato storico. Fatti assolutamente assurdi. Intervenendo anche
sui conflitti d'interesse dei governanti che negano pari opportunità a tutti
878. regolamentazione comunitaria dei trasporti (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
A mio parere nel campo dei trasporti mancano politiche comunitarie atte all' incentivazione di trasporti
passeggeri/merci ecosostenibili e tese al far diventare più economici i mezzi di trasporto che hanno meno
impatto ambientale. Le mie proposte concrete sono: - stanziare fondi per creare o incentivare la costruzione
di infrastrutture che consentano il diventare economico, conveniente, sicuro e veloce il trasporto merci su
rotaia. - stanziare fondi per incoraggiare l' attuazione di politiche attuative che tengano conto dell' impatto
ambientale del trasporto passeggeri/merci. - stanziare fondi a sostegno di iniziative che tendono alla
modernizzazione delle infrastrutture per rendere più sicuro, più ecocompatibile e più moderno il sistema
infrastrutturale europeo. - legiferare in merito a leggi che ostacolano e frenano politiche comunitarie in materia
di trasporti ecosostenibili.

evaluations: 10)
E' necessario rafforzare e molto gli sforzi nella lotta contro il razzismo e le discriminazioni di ogni genere
(religiose, etniche, sessuali, etc...). Gli sforzi sin qui intrapresi non bastano, e ciò che succede in Italia verso
i cittadini rumeni, le donne, le persone diversamente abili e gli omosessuali ne è un esempio lampante.
Servono direttive che obblighino gli stati a garantire tutele ed uguaglianza per le categorie deboli, oltre che
sanzioni per chi non rispetta.

Dovrebbe assicurare gli stessi diritti ai cittadini di tutti i paesi e pari opportunita?. controllare e punire i
politici corrotti e abbattere mettendo tetti massimi gli stipendi dei politici e delle banche! Dovrebbe vietare ed
eliminare il signoraggio bancario! Una truffa e uno strozzinaggio!!
883. Pari opportunita' legge sul lavoro e anti discriminazione (importance: 79%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 10)
ma vi rendete conto che in italia gli annunci di lavoro tutti i giorni specificano chi cercano uomo donna, quanti
anni e a volte anche altre cose assurde e inpensate? ma nn basta essere abili e competenti per svolgere il
lavoro? per forza solo le donne possono essere segretarie e gli uomini operai? ma siamo nel 1200?? L'italia
nn merita di stare in europa per le continue violazioni ai diritti umani fondamentali che fa' sia sulla costituzione
europea che su quella della UN. Vergogna.
884. Riduzione della burocrazia (importance: 78%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 12)
La burocrazia uccide il libero pensiero !!! L'unione Europea deve costringere i paesi che non risolvono
questo problema ad adottare percorsi burocratici indicati da direttive comuni. Ci vuole una commissione che
lavori su questo aspetto.

886. nell'eliminazione delle discriminazioni sociali (importance: 78%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 8)
mi riferisco al fatto che se un cittadino italiano non conosce le leggi tedesche e un prete tedesco si mette
in mezzo nell'eredità famigliare lo stato tedesco si piega come un fuscello al volere del prete contro il diritto
naturale della persona di rientrare in possesso dei suoi beni. Mi riferisco alla causa particolare che vede
coinvolta la mia famiglia in cui un prete tedesco attraverso trucchi legali è riuscito a farsi firmare un testamento
e così impadronirsi delle proprietà della nostra famiglia. Questo è un caso che particolare ma che coinvolge
coppi che e matrimoni tra i cittadini degli stati Europei che a causa della mancata normalizzaizone dei rapporti
in tal senso vede la dispersione di matrimoni e risparmi di anni di famiglie per i loro figli vengono esprorpiati
da astuti preti protestanti e cattolici. La legge in questo caso è assente e nulla può fare contro questi mostri di
etica moralità valida per gli altri ma non per loro che derubano intere famigle.
887. strutture politiche più leggere (importance: 78%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 7)
Un governo europeo fornito di poteri reali e allo stesso tempo più leggero e snello, senza burocrazia, senza
regolamenti farragginosi, con pochi componenti ma più autorevoli.

in questo secondo round mi è venuto in mente che l'idea di investire sul nucleare mi sembra inquinante
pericolosa ed anacronistica, mentre stiamo scoprendo ogni giorno di più energie pulite e le loro applicazioni
pratiche. I diritti degli omosessuali penso debbano essere rivalutati così come l'effettiva uguaglianza tra i sessi
rimessa in discussione

In tutta Europa. Non è accettabile che in Olanda esistano i matrimoni omosessuali e che in Italia due uomini
che vivono tutta una vita insieme non siano NESSUNO per lo STATO. E' una vergogna da 1800!
891. Deburocratizzazione e servizi (importance: 75%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 15)
Penso che per una società, sia indispensabile costruire e fornire dei servizi che la colletività richiede. Allo stato
il compito di fornire servizi nuovi o non economicamente vantaggiosi ma fondamentali per la collettività, senza
che però questi diventino un peso eccessivo per la società stessa. Indispensabile regolamentare la vita civile,
senza però che diventi un peso per il singolo cittadino (deburocratizzazione). Inoltre ritengo utile che ci sia un
istruzione su quelle che sono i principi alla base della società, le norme e i regolamenti; fornendo una base
per la pacifica convivenza, creando un senso di apparteneza e integrazione maggiore.
892. Ricostruire l'abbruzzo - Lotta alla corruzione politica! (importance: 75%, disagreement: 18,

Aiutare l'Italia nello stabilire i processi piu' efficienti e rapidi per la ricostruzione delle aree terremotate
dell'Abbruzzo. Provvedere aiuti economici per chi ha perso tutto. Adottare severe misure con la classe politica
Italiana (e non) in caso di corruzione. Verificare puntualmente che i soldi della EC spesi a sostegno delle
molteplici iniziative non siano utilizzati per scopi diversi da quello per cui sono stati programmati. Vigilanza
estesa e massima trasparenza nei progetti.

Non vi potrà mai essere una vera UE se questa non si batte per l'uguaglianza di tutti i suoi cittadini, lottando e
abbattendo ogni tipo di discriminazione. Il diritto all'uguaglianza è ció che rende ogni essere umano realmente
libero. Molto è stato fatto dalla fine della seconda guerra mondiale ad oggi, ma in particolar modo sono stati
trascurati e disprezzati le persone omosessuali, spesso anche con la creazione di Istituti giuridici che hanno
creato cittadini di serie A e di Serie B, come nel caso delle Unioni Civil. Antonio

897. Sui diritti della donna (importance: 74%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 9)
La donna dovrebbe essere uguale all'uomo, pero' purtroppo in molti paesi, anche nel nostro i diritti della
donna non sono del tutto all'altezza europea. Questo si vede chiaramente anche nel mondo lavorativo. Il
percentuale delle donne in carriera e' molto basso in confronto ai percentuali europei. Questo e' causato dalle
mancanze di possibilita' perche' le donne sposate specialmente, non godono abbastanza di strutture, che
fanno si che, la donna continui a lavorare. Come ad esempio un'aumento di asili nido, che faciliterebbe la
possibilita' che la donna ritorni nel mondo del lavoro dopo la nascita' di un bambino, e un'aumento d'asili nido
aumenti le possibilita' di posti di lavoro nel medesimo settore, cioe' quello degli asili nido. Un'altra problema
che va affrontata e' di strutture adeguate per le tante donne che sono vittime di violenza domestica, di stupro,
e di ogni altro tipo di abuso. Struttura di centri d'accoglienza sicuri, che danno un senso di sigurta' alle
vittime. Finalmente una legge europea,che abolisca l'usanza tradizionale della F.G.M. sulle donne africane, e
medorientale, che ora vivono nei paesi membri dell'Unione Europea, perche' questo e' un'abuso molto grave
contro la dignita' femminile.

900. Ripristinare la legalità e la democrazia in italia (importance: 73%, disagreement: 37, evaluations: 10)
In Italia da circa 10 anni il rispetto della legge è diventato opzionale. A partire dal presidente del consiglio
dell'attuale governo, vi sono migliaia di casi di conflitto di interessi, di corruzione, di appropriazione indebita
e abuso d'ufficio, per non parlare della criminalità comune che sta raggiungendo livelli insostenibili. Ci sono
numerose sentenze della corte di giustizia europea che NON VENGONO APPLICATE, un caso per tutti
quello di Rete 4 (canale televisivo di Mediaset), che da più di un anno dovrebbe trasmettere solo da satellite
in quanto le sue frequenze sono state assegnate ad Europa 7. Inoltre, gli ultimi 15-20 anni di governo hanno
permesso l'instaurarsi di una dittatura mediatica che rende quasi impossibile al comune cittadino di venire a
conoscenza di fatti importantissimi per poter esercitare in maniera consapevole i propri diritti politici. Il governo
in carica sta inoltre cercando di modificare le norme che regolano l'accesso ad internet e la libertà di stampa,
fino a vietare la diffusione di documenti pubblici relativi ai processi penali in corso, per alterare l'opinione
pubblica. Sono dimostrate le collusioni (trasversali a tutti gli schieramenti, con poche eccezioni) tra ambienti
politici e criminalità organizzata, ma il sistema giudiziario sovraccarico non è spesso in grado di arrivare ad
una condanna definitiva prima che il reato cada in prescrizione. Un primo passo per risolvere la situazione
sarebbe sicuramente rompere il monopolio med

L'allargamento a est della comunità europea ha inevitabilmente aperto delle falle nel controllo della
immigrazione clandestina. Ben vengano coloro che emigrano in cerca di lavoro e cercano di integrarsi ma per
questa piccola percentuale dobbiamo subire un notevole aumento della criminalità a causa di chi viene solo
per delinquere. Il cittadino europeo non si sente pù sicuro, non è pù tranquillo nella sua terra, vive un diagio
quotidiano. Non è una quuestione di razza ne di colore come certa stampa vuole enfatizzare, ma di legalità.

Sentendo che ci sono leggi differenti in ogni singolo paese dell'EU mi vien da pensare che se commetto un
reato non ho la stessa valutazione della gravità di reato in un paese o nell'altro mi spiego. Io vivo in francia
per lavoro da 10 anni sono italiano e a volte mi vedo a comparare le cose nei due paesi vedi la patente a
punti in francia 10 punti in italia 12 se passo con il rosso in francia sono x punti in italia x+y ma se passo con
il rosso devono togliermi la patente perché con il mio reato posso causare la morte di qualcuno e se diovesse
accadere prendo una condanna in francia x in italia x+y mi domando dov'é Europa Unita se anche in "

potrebbero snellire mantenedo salde le regole democratiche a seguito di un esame puramente "tecnico".
Successivamente si potrebbero attuare tutte le iniziative di costruzione di un VERO governo federale europeo.
Nel contempo si dovrebbero attivare più iniziative di ricezione delle opinioni degli europei (come questa, ad
esempio) e diffusione delle stesse allo scopo di ottenere una maggiore consapevolezza e crescita culturale
come cittadini europei e del mondo, non una mera indagine di mercato, o indagine statistica.

Ho sempre pensato che lo scopo dell'Europa sia quello di raggiungere, poco alla volta e nel lungo periodo,
una sorta di unione politica e quindi qualcosa in più di ciò che rappresenta oggi; un'unione in cui i cittadini
abbiano ancora maggiori libertà di quelle garantite da Schengen, in cui la cittadinanza europea sia non solo
un complemento di quella nazionale, ma l'unica possibile; in questo modo si eviterebbero le inutili burocrazie
per soggiorni superiori ai 3 mesi in altri Stati Europei, così come tutta la burocrazia per accedere al mercato
del lavoro; queste sono delle minuzie che però ci allontanano inesorabilmente dal sentimento europeista
'puro', poiché altrimenti tenteremo sempre di associare l'Europa ai 'burocrati' Europei (cosa che è già stata
fatta da molta stampa europea). So che questo pensiero potrebbe sembrare un'utopia, ma appena qualche
decina di anni fa era considerata tale anche l'Unione Europea che abbiamo saputo costruire fino ad oggi con

924. Essere più decisionista. Maggiore integrazione. (importance: 88%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 15)
Genil sig. Barroso. Vengo adesso da una lunga esperienza di lavoro a Malta. Pur essendo un paese
culturalmente simile a quello italiano ho ancora notato tantissime difficoltà nella mia integrazione nel nuovo
stato. Poca conoscenza, tante cose molto diverse e troppe differenze politiche. Occorre a mio avviso un
europa più forte , decisionista. Chi è in Europa deve procedere verso un cammino unico. Chi non vuole
entrare, come UK e Rep. Ceca, può sempre rimanere alla porta a vedere gli altrui sviluppi e integrazione.
Quei paesi prima o poi faranno conto col loro elettorato. Quindi chiederei, più integrazione economica, politica
militare. E soprattutto meno Nazionalismi , che sono la rovina dell'Europa intera.
925. Utilizzo integrato energia pulita. (importance: 88%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 14)
Significa integrare i metodi di produzione energetica pulita quali solare, eolico, risparmi, coproduzione, nei
diversi paesi. Stessi incentivi, condivisione della tecnologia, analisi delle tecnologie migliori.

926. Integrazione dell'UE in senso federale (importance: 88%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
Solo un governo federale europeo potrà affrontare le sfide della globalizzazione, a cominciare dalla crisi
economica, dall'emergenza ambientale e dalla crisi del Medio Oriente. L'insegnamento di Altiero Spinelli è più
che mai attuale.
927. sviluppo di un'unità politica (importance: 88%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 14)
L'UE è considerata un gigante economico ma un verme politico. Bisogna cercare di far ascoltare la nostra
voce anche sul piano politico. Personalmente proporrei al consiglio di sicurezza ONU un seggio Europeo dare
quelli lasciati liberi alle nuove potenze emergenti. Il tempo delle politiche nazionali è passato. Ora, per fare
sentire la propria voce si riesce solo grazie all'unione con gli altri paesi europei.
928. l'integrazione fra i popoli, l'educazione 'europea' (importance: 87%, disagreement: 14, evaluations:
14)
Oggigiorno abitiamo in un mondo in continuo movimento nel quale è praticamente impossibile vivere solo a
contatto con la gente del proprio paese. L'UE, avendo come motto l'unità nella diversità', è chiamata a favorire
un clima di proficuo scambio di opinioni ed idee. Dare la possibilità al dialogo a persone con idee costruttive
per la comunità ma che, per barriere di lingua o semplicemente per barriere storiche od ideologiche, non si
incontrerebbero mai, è un compito fondamentale dell'UE. Per poter adempire a questo alto e delicato compito
l'UE dovrebbe iniziare ad essere più incisiva sull'educazione dei ragazzi europei e cercare di sviluppare sin
dall'infanzia una coscienza europea. Questo si raggiungerebbe mediante programmi di scambio già dalle
medie. In questo modo i ragazzi non solo impareranno bene una terza lingua (l'inglese oramai deve essere
considerata come seconda lingua madre) ma inizieranno subito a conoscere la realtà e le genti di un altro
paese senza rimanere imbrigliato nei retaggi ideologici delle generazioni passate. Oltre a dare l'opportunità
d'integrazione fra i ragazzi, l'UE deve anche svolgere il delicato compito di far superare barriere antiche agli
adulti. Per quelli più attivi proporrei delle tavole rotonde con coetanei europei su problematiche che sono
presenti nei loro paesi (es.: immigrazione clandestina). Contemporaneamente nelle città e nei villaggi europei
l'UE potrebbe allestire incontri e feste all'insegna del rispetto e della
929. armonizzazione dei diritti-doveri dei cittadini (importance: 87%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 9)
L'Unione Europea dovrebbe ambire al raggiungimento di un livello omogeneo nei servizi, nella tutela
della persona, nei diritti e nei doveri di tutti i cittadini, garantendo condizioni di vita ed opportunità uguali a
qualunque persona viva e lavori nella UE
930. UNITA POLITICA (importance: 87%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 13)
Unico seggio all'onu, peso politico, presidente dell'UE non a rotazione, piu poteri al parlamento europeo,
commissione indipendente, esercito europeo, sistema federale
931. semplificazione normativa, politica estera comune (importance: 87%, disagreement: 14, evaluations:
10)
Forzare gli stati membri alla semplificazione normativa nell'ottica di uniformare le norme EU, attivare una
politica estera attiva, veloce e comune a tutti gli stati, promuovere il lavoro giornaliero del parlamento europeo
inserendolo nei tg nazionali, promuovere un agenzia di stampa europea per coinvolgere maggiornamente i
media negli eventi sovranazionali e farci sentire piu europei, parificare ed incentivare le collaborazioni tra PMI
europee che attualmente non vengono mia considerate come un modello di sviluppo dagli imprenditori epr
mancanza di informazioni,m guide e statistiche di profittabilità

934. mobilità (importance: 87%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 10)
1) piste ciclabili 2) bike sharing 3) car sharing 4) servizio pullman e ferrovie con maggiore frequenza almeno
fino al capoluogo di provincia
935. Partecipazione democratica ai processi decisonali (importance: 86%, disagreement: 8, evaluations:
14)
I cittadini europei, chi piu' chi meno, non hanno reali strumenti di partecipazione ai processi decisionali.
In primis manca l'informazione di base e i canali di accesso ad essa, Non basta mettere tutto su internet,
bisogna formare i mediatori culturali che permettano i membri delle comunita' di informarsi, partecipare,
decidere: occorre rovesciare la piramide del consenso, dal modello centralistico (broadcasting televisivo) al
modello di rete interattiva.
936. FAVORIRE ANCOR DI PIU' LO SCAMBIO CULTURALE TRA I PAESI EURO (importance: 86%,
Scambi semestrali tra i cittadini europei, con agevolazioni tariffarie di aerei e treni, per viaggiare in modo
ecnomico e così conoscere parte del territorio europeo e usi e costumi dei popoli che circondano l'Italia.
937. Nelle politiche sull'integrazione, nella ricerca scientifica (importance: 86%, disagreement: 16,
evaluations: 11)
L'UE manca ancora di una vera integrazione politica, e di una visione comune a livello economico. Spero
vivamente che l'Unione sappia fare quel grande passo che la faccia diventare una entità più coesa e
vicina alla gente. Per fare questo devono essere affidate a questo organismo la politica estera, la difesa e
l'economia. La moneta unica è stata raggiunta, ma una cosa è parlare di politiche monetarie, una cosa è
parlare di politiche economiche. Per proghedire poi insieme è necessario che siano attivati grandi investimenti
sul campo della ricerca scientifica, non dimenticando che l'accesso agli studi deve essere gratuito o
perlomeno accessibile alla maggior parte delle persone, perchè non bisogna creare delle elite autoreferenziali
che detengono in mano il potere senza consenire un ricambio sociale.
940. Maggiore integrazione fra gli stati (importance: 85%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 13)
é necessario fare scambi culturali,lavorativi,sportivi,socio sanitari,rivolti ai protagosti dell'UE (i Cittadini) non
c'è UE senza il loro coinvolgimento diretto. La politica degli stati membri se vuole una UE forte deve essere
meno egoista e far partecipare ai processi di cambiamento i cittadini
941. Trasporto e mobilità (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 13)
un unione europea efficente, dovrebbe permettere a ciuscun cittadino membro della stessa, di potersi
muovere liberamente alle stesse condizioni. Mi spiego meglio: io vivo in sardegna, e per poter viaggiare
per lavoro, tempo libero o altre necessità, devo necessariamente sostenere dei costi superiori ai costi
normalmente sostenuti da coloro che risiedono in realtà urbane collocate nella penisola italiana, o nel
continente europeo. Per loro, recarsi in una grande metropoli come roma o milano, per sostenere dei concorsi
o semplicemente per valutare delle proposte di lavoro ha dei cosi molto meno probanti. per noi isolani,
territorialmente svantaggiati, tutto questo è un sogno. Sarebbe auspicabile arrivare ad un costo della mobilità
pari per tutti. Un kilometro percorso su terra ferma, aria o mare dovrebbe essere uguale, per permettere a tutti
i cittadini UE di godere degli stessi privilegi.
942. collaborazione transfrontaliera, progetti europei di ricerca (importance: 84%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 16)
La Ue dovrebbe incoraggiare e finanziare la collaborazione transfrontaliera sia di istituzioni (scuole superiori,
università) sia per quanto riguarda la didattica che le attività di ricerca (in particolare per quanto rigurda
le politiche energetiche (il solare), sanitarie (farmaceutica) e simili. Bisogna incoraggiare quindi anche
la collaborazione tra associazioni di categoria (medici, sindacati, insegnanti, giuristi, ingegneri..) con
pubblicazioni, scambi culturali, coferenze e associazioni europee etc...

945. Istruzione, ricerca, comunicazione, infrastrutture (importance: 84%, disagreement: 13, evaluations:
18)
L'Unione europea dovrebbe unificare un grande budget per tutti i Paesi appartenenti per la ricerca di base
nelle università. Così generando una competizione tra i vari poli di ricerca europei e assegnando ai migliori
progetti più soldi, utilizzando criteri meritocratici per le scelte. Dovrebbe eliminare le differenze burocratiche
e di insegnamente nelle scuole e nelle università, cosìcche un diploma o laurea in Italia sia riconosciuta
ugualmente in un qualsiasi altro Paese della UE e viceversa senza dover passare per notai o dover far
tradurre il diploma/laurea etc. L'UE dovrebbe inoltre essere in grado di comunicare meglio ai cittadini ciò
che sta facendo in concreto in tutti gli ambiti per convicerci che serve effettivamente a qualcosa e non solo
a passare leggi marginali o inutili. Nell'ambito delle infrastrutture, penso si debba costruire un piano per i 27
Paesi con il quale si porti avanti (come sta già avvenendo ma non per tutti) la creazione di infrastrutture ad
alta velocità, dai trasporti (ferrovie e autostrade) alle telecomunicazioni (banda larga e fibra ottica per i privati
e per le imprese grandi e piccole) una cosa che manca nel paese in cui vivo io.

salvaguardare le singole identità e culture all'interno di una dimensione europea che trae le proprie origini dal
medio evo cristiano
950. mass media, istruzione, comunicazioni e trasporti (importance: 83%, disagreement: 15, evaluations:
15)
Dobbiamo costruire i cittadini europei. Esistono già molte possibilità sia di studiare che di lavorare all'estero
nei paesi UE. Anche le reti di trasporto transfrontaliere contribuiscono a avvicinare i cittadini tra loro anche
socialmente. Bisogna finanziare borse di studio per viaggi all'estero e scambi culturali; finanziare progetti
di collaborazione tra università e istituzioni; stabilire premi europei per progetti di ricerca, tesi di laurea
(su materie europee) e quant'altro. Bisogna spingere all'integrazioni anche i sindacati dei lavoratori e le
associazioni di categoria. In particolare bisogna insistere sulle scuole (networks formativi e scambi tra istituti;
premi europei) dalle scuole superioriin poi. Bisogna inserire le istituzioni europee e le loro leggi nei programmi
didattici.
951. In una percezione comune di europa (importance: 83%, disagreement: 16, evaluations: 8)
952. una politica unitaria sull'immigrazione (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 15)
Credo che sia sciocco dare del criminale o addirittura del terrorista a quei poveracci che cercano di trovare
un futuro migliore da noi in europa. Le persone che si mettono in viaggio per migliorare la propria condizione
sono molta brava gente che a casa propria non hanno possibilità di sfamare e di garantire una vita migliore ai
propri figli. L'UE dovrebbe trovare accordi con i paesi d'origine non tanto per monitorare il flusso emigratorio
ma per garantire istruzione ed opportunità nel paese d'origine. Sarebbe bello vedere programmi di aiuto
all'istruzione europei in paesi dell'africa subsahariana. Questi programmi però non devono essere dei revival
delle nostre passate avventure imperialiste bensì un concreto e pragmatico programma didattico svolto a
servire alla popolazione locale.
953. Creare una vera e comune identità Europea. (importance: 83%, disagreement: 24, evaluations: 13)
Bisognerebbe creare una vera e comune identità Europea preservando comunque quella dei Popoli perchè la
ricchezza culturale dell'Europa sta proprio nella diversità dei diversi popoli che la compongono. Oltre a creare
una vera identità Europea, bisognerebbe mettere i paletti ai confini dell' Unione e cominciare a lavorare di più
sui Popoli che la compongono rendendoli più vicini e dialoganti. L' Europa si è allargata troppo, anche a Paesi
che non ne posseggono gli standard economici e culturali e questo può rivelarsi più un boomerang che si
ritorcerà contro. Non si può ulteriormente allargare l'Unione ad altri Paesi perchè si verrebbe a creare un forte
squilibrio socio-culturale ed economico.

954. Integrazione (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 12)
E' importante investire sull'integrazione e debellare partiti e episodi xenofobi.
955. La libera circolazione ed il pieno dirritto ai cittadini UE (importance: 83%, disagreement: 9,

Propongo uno reale spostamento dei cittadini europei di lavorare ed andare a vivere in qualsiasi paese dell
Unione Europea.Di avere uno passaporto unico europeo e di spostarsi in tutto il mondo come reali e veri
cittadini dell'Unione Europea.Di trasmettere alla popolazione europea l'orgolio ad essere cittadino UE.
956. libera comunicazione (importance: 83%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 10)
Per quanto riguarda la nazione Italia, il concetto di Europa è visto come un blocco, un vincolo alla sovranità
nazionale. Sarebbe opportuno un miglioramento delle conoscenze legate all'Europa da parte di tutti i cittadini
italiani. In tema di energie pulite ed alternative esistono località con una forte possibilità di utilizzo di energie
alternative ( Sicilia = sole; Sardegna = sole e vento ). Se l'Europa non si decide ad obbligare le nazioni ad
intervenire in queste direzioni, ci ritroveremo sempre con energie non pulite.
958. comunicazione (importance: 82%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 9)
Attualmente l'unione Europea sembra un'entità astratta , lontana da ogni singola problematica riguardante la
comunità ed ogni singolo individuo . Deve cambiare il metodo di visibilità e presenza ai vari cittadini europei ,
porsi degli obbiettivi anche a medio termine.

962. comunicazione e chiarezza (importance: 82%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 12)
A mio avviso dovrebbe innanzitutto creare uno spazio accessibile, come potrebbe essere un sito internet,
in cui si possa accedere per visualizzare le opportunità, i progetti finanziati e i fondi a disposizione, senza
dimenticare uno spazio apposito all'interno del sito in cui venga spiegato chiaramente come accedere a
suddetti fondi e come presentare le domande, magari anche con l'ausilio di esempi pratici. Sembrerà banale,
ma spesso noi giovani siamo ostacolati proprio dalla scarsa comunicazione, da termini e iter burocratici
complicati o astrusi.
963. Strategia di Lisbona (importance: 82%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 16)
Aumentare le risorse destinate a creare un'economia basata sulla conoscenza e impegnare gli Stati membri a
fare altrettanto. L'Europa ha le basi per diventare la più competitiva e dinamica economia del mondo. Sviluppo
sostenibile, ricerca, innovazione, investimenti in capitale umano, welfare sono le priorità che l'Unione Europea
deve perseguire.
964. integrazione (importance: 82%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 7)
965. Integrazione Politica (importance: 82%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 12)

standard di democrazia omogeneii nei paesi dell' unione , vanno assicurati standard minimi di rispetto del
conflitto di interessi, in pratica salvarci da Berlusconi !

966. nella sempre maggiore coesione tra i cittadini europei (importance: 82%, disagreement: 12,
evaluations: 8)
privilegiando l'incontro tra i popoli e le comunità. tra comunità piccole e similari per dimensione e
caratteristiche, favorendo l'incontro di giovani e meno giovani per confrontare e apprezzare le differenze
intese come ricchezza e non contrasto. Incontri che permettono a individui altrimenti impossibilitati, a
"vivere" e "condividere" progetti e idee locali in simbiosi con l'altro. L'europa sarà una quando le culture
non si arroccheranno nei loro recinti. Non si tratta di globalizzare ma di conoscenza e apprezzamento delle
differenze. In una parola TWINNING ma non di facciata, rappresentanza e/o istituzionale. Un vero e proprio
criterio di condivisione anche quotidiana delle necessità reciproche. Un po' come se la comunità gemellata
sia materialmente presente nella propria e viceversa. Un po' come se le due comunità (o anche tre o quattro)
siano "quartieri della stessa città, permettendo la moltipli- cazione dei momenti condivisi. L'informatica aiuta
ormai moltissimo sostituendosi alla materiale vicinanza. Pur tuttavia non rinunciando affatto all'incontro
diretto. La conoscenza reciproca tra comunità e popoli moltiplicata e intensa inoltre obbliga i governi a
tener conto delle opinioni aggregate e condivise costituendo un formidabile strumento di pressione e di
condizionamento democratico. Da questa visione generale si generano tutte quelle attività (nessuna esclusa)
che rendono unita l'europa dopo secoli anzi millenni di divisioni). E' una scommessa, forse u

Dare un'identità più profonda ai cittadini europei affinché mettano da parte gli egoismi nazionali e crescano

l'impiego dei fondi pubblici. Leggi uguali in ogni stato europeo.
969. Nei seguenti campi : istruzione, ricerca, mobilità. (importance: 82%, disagreement: 13, evaluations:

L'istruzione, le Università e la ricerca costituiscono l'ossatura di un paese moderno ed evoluto. Bisogna
dare a uno studente le possibilità di studiare all'estero : potenziare gli Erasmus e i progetti comunitari, i
progetti di scambio. Gli istituti di ricerca devono diventare ancora di più delle realtà trans-statali, i dottorati di
ricerca dovrebbero rilasciare un titolo sia del proprio paese che di altri paesi con cui si è stipulato il contratto.
Potenziare la mobilità studentesca e professionale.

Anche se negli ultimi anni la collaborazione tra Paesi UE ha visto delle grandi difficoltà, l'Unione Europea

Unire maggiormente le politiche nazionali in una politica realmente Europea. Fino ad oggi si sono viste le
singole nazioni troppo distanti su temi in cui l'Europa doveva e dovrà dare un'unica risposta politica. Basti
vedere ciò che è accaduto nell'ultima Conferenza ONU dove l'Europa si è presentata divisa ed alcuni paesi,
tra cui l'Italia, non vi hanno partecipato. L'Europa deve avere un'unica Voce per essere considerata una forza

978. Integrazione culturale e lingua (importance: 81%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 7)
I cittadini europei si sentono più italiani, tedeschi, francesi e così via che effetivamente europei. Credo
che sia importante promuovere una cultura di appartenenza all'Unione, il che potrebbe essere facilitato da
una forte spinta verso l'integrazione innanzitutto linguistica. In questo frangente ho avvertito molto di più la
presenza dello Stato che dell'Unione, e mi piacerebbe che si avviassero programmi volti al potenziamento
dell'insegnamento della lingua inglese, ormai ufficiosamente riconosciuta come lingua internazionale e
comunitaria (dico così perchè è la più conosciuta e quella correntemente utilizzata per i rapporti interpersonali
tra i cittadini europei).
979. Reciproca conoscenza dei giovani cittadini europei (importance: 80%, disagreement: 10, evaluations:
9)
Gradirei che l'Europa realizzi programmi televisivi in cui si veda come si vive e quali sono le opportunità
lavorative nei Paesi dell'Unione. Suddetti programmi televisivi potranno essere redatti nella lingua d'origine
con dei sottotitoli inseriti di volta in volta a seconda del paese in cui vanno in onda. Ad esempio un
documentario informativo sulla Romania che vada in onda in Italia avrà l'audio originale con i sottotitoli in
italiano. Questo favorirebbe molto sia l'integrazione che la ricerca mirata di lavoro e stili di vita più consoni alle
esigenze del giovane cittadino europeo in cerca di lavoro

una mano voi. l'europa per ora mi pare solo in grado di legiferare leggi che non vengono rispettate, dare
soldi in giro senza preoccuparsi di che fine fanno e dare sanzioni che non fanno altro che aumentare il debito
pubblico. è ora di costruire una vera nazione europea, anche se è molto difficile e ci vorranno forse secoli

la libera ciroclazione) -In parecchi casi inviare un sms in America latina costa meno (od uguale) che inviarlo
ad'un altro paese UE : ha un senso parlare di mercato unico? Quando inviare un sms a Bogota mi costa
meno che inviarlo a Bordeaux? -Servizi di VOD e diritti. Se vivi in un altro paese (Spagna per esempio ) non
si possono vedere i servizi, reportage che per esempio un canale pubblico (Francese) mette a disposizione
su internet. Im ercati sono totalmente cloisonné Libera coricolazione cittadini e diritti: Estendere il diritto di

L'Italia è anni luce indietro in materia di trasparenza e partecipazione all'operato amministrativo, soprattutto

cittadinanza difficile da ricompattare. Eppure oggi come non mai è necessario premere perché ogni ente
pubblico preveda la dotazione di un URP quando non di una rete civica di servizi al cittadino. Tanto per fare un
esempio il cittadino italiano deve cominciare a considerare l'ufficio tecnico del Comune come un suo alleato,
non come un nemico pronto a fare ostruzionismo a oltranza.

A Firenze il problema degli stranieri clandestini è grave (come da altre parti): non hanno un lavoro e
delinquono. Quando sono sorpresi a delinquere tornano subito in libertà e continuano a costituire un pericolo.
Anche quelli che non delinquono sono un problema: hanno abitudini molto diverse da noi in termini di
comportamenti, cortesia e igiene. Dovrebbe essere organizzata una rete sociale fatta sia da stranieri che
da cittadini che spieghi agli stranieri cosa piace e cosa no piace agli italiani in mododa facilitare il dialogo, la

vari paesi. In Italia viviamo situazioni assurde in cui, ad esempio, un giovane medico specialista ospedaliero,
assunto con contratto a termine, prende poco più di mille euro, sapendo che il suo posto è precario. Ed è così
in quasi tutti i settori del lavoro giovanile. Se neanche anni e anni di studi non ripagano adeguatamente le
aspettative occupazionali, perchè questi giovani dovrebbro impegnarsi a sudiare? Infatti la scuola in Italia non
ha più alcun senso e alcuno sbocco. Saluti, Nadia Pistaro
1006. Nel civilizzare i cittadini UE (importance: 76%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 8)
Sembra che l'inciviltà, la stupidità e l'ignoranza inizi a regnare sovrana nella UE.
1007. nell'integrazione (importance: 76%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 15)
le differenze tra i paesi sono ancora troppo grandi.in alcuni casi insormontabili. per esempio nel caso
dell'omologazione dei titoli di studio.nella maggior parte dei casi l'iter e lunghissimo e complicato.
1008. Si dovrebbe investire di più sull'integrazione tra i Membri (importance: 75%, disagreement: 17,
evaluations: 14)
Ritengo che senza un investimento consistente nelle politiche di integrazione l'Ue rimarrà ferma ad un livello
di coesione politico-sociale basso. Occorre invogliare le popolazioni dei singoli Stati a "mescolarsi" attraverso
un incentivo alla migrazione dei singoli e delle famiglie da un paese all'altro, perchè solo vivendo, lavorando,
studiando altrove si abbattono veramente i confini che soprattutto culturalmente ci separano gli uni dagli
altri. Ritengo che sia una via percorribile attraverso il potenziamento e l'accrescimento degli ottimi progetti
Ersamus, Leonardo, Ulisse e altri finanziati dall'Ue.
1009. Cooperazione internazionale (importance: 75%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 11)
Logicamente l'occupazione, l'ambiente, la ricerca e agli aspetti connessi alla salute sono tutti aspetti correlati
all'andamento della crisi economica. Se le aziende produttive cittadine conseguiranno profitti la situazione
economica potrà migliorare. Le politiche di cooperazione internazionale sono il corollario necessario per far
fronte alle situazioni negative e recessive si pensi alle opere pubbliche e alle opere di difesa del mare e/o
dall'inquinamento. Ma anche taluni aspetti di natura fiscale, che richiedono un minimo impegno da parte degli
stati (vignette giornaliera, settimanale e/o mensile, semestrale) confinanti: Austria e Slovenia. Le ripercussioni
sul turismo frontaliero e vacanziero sono a tutti evidenti. In questo la UE dovrebbe suggerire un adeguamento
generalizzato negli stati membri. Ulteriori aspetti possono riguardare studi di fattibilità su progetti comuni nei
settori della ricerca, ambiente, immigrazione extracomunitaria, mercati dei capitali, etc.

1010. Politica estera comune (importance: 75%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 6)
La considero a tutti gli effetti parte della mia vita quotidiana. Vivere in un'Unione Europea forte sul piano
internazionale mi fa sentire più sicuro e più integrato con gli altri cittadini dell'Unione. Ad una politica estera
comune deve corrispondere una politica militare comune con l'organizzazione di forze armate europee
che siano un valore aggiunto e non in contrasto con la NATO. L'ottima presidenza Sarkozy durante la crisi
georgiana ha messo in risalto il peso politico di un'Unione realmente coesa, ma ho l'impressione che la
mancata ratifica del Trattato di Lisbona abbia ridotto un'azione comune dei 27 ad un favore reciproco piuttosto
che ad una procedura comune e obbligatoria.
1011. lavoro, pari opportunità e mobilità (importance: 75%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 7)
ritengo che ci sia ancora molto da fare sul piano dell'occupazione.Bisogna eliminare tutti gli ostacoli alla vera
parità tra i generi.Ultimo ma non meno importante bisogna incentivare la mobilità.
1012. Unità politica (importance: 75%, disagreement: 28, evaluations: 15)
L'UE si dovrebbe trasformare in un vero e proprio soggetto politico di governo, dovrebbe ampliare i propri
potere e soprattutto affinare le capacità di controllo e sanzione dei paesi membri che non rispettano i
regolamenti e le direttive comunitarie. Inoltre vorrei che l'UE avesse un unico rappresentante diplomatico.
1013. Favorire la mobilità transeuropea. (importance: 75%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 14)
Penso che la UE debba favorire la mobilità tra cittadini europei sollecitando i gemellaggi tra le città ed i
trasporti a livello europeo non soltanto con l'alta velocità ferroviaria che riguarda solamente le grandi città ma
anche incentivando linee automobilistiche a basso costo come i pullman. Dovrebbe inoltre sostenere i comuni
nel migliorare la rete di trasporto locale e metropolitano per migliorare l'aria e la qualità della vita.
1014. integrazione dei mercati europei (importance: 75%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 14)
Oltre ad investire nelle risorse umane (istruzione e mercato del lavoro), bisogna cercare di integrare
maggiormente alcuni mercati (normalmente dominati da potenti lobbies) come quello energetico, bancario e
del commercio, garantendo, comunque, contemporaneamente il consumatore con una serie di controlli e
normative a livello europeo.
1015. mobilità e trasporti (importance: 74%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 14)

1018. Tratto di Lisbona - Politica Comune Europea (importance: 74%, disagreement: 18, evaluations: 8)
Tante volte ho i miei dubi su come l'UE riesca ad effettuare questa cosa, perche' ci sono dei paesi che per
ripicca o per interesse del proprio paese non riesce a prendere decisioni che sarebbero significattive per
metter in atto la politica comune su tanti fronti. Il fatto di essere fatta da tanti paesi diversi, e di essere messe
davanti a tante difficolta, l'UE dovrebbere enforzare sui propri stati membri una politica comune sulla sigurta'
internazionale, che e' il terzo pilastro dell'UE e che senza l'UE non funzionerebbe come dovrebbe. Dovrebbe
essere mandatorio l'obligo degli stati membri d'essere d'appogio per l'un l'altro, specialmente nei momenti di
calamita' come quello che e' successo nell'Abruzzo in Italia.
Sensibilizzare i cittadini, e sopratutto i bambini che iniziano il loro percorso formativo, all'appartenenza
all'Unione intera e quindi ad un senso di responsabilità e coscienza globale verso i paesi che non sono
strettamente il proprio. Insomma far crescere di più la coscienza del significato di Cittadinanza Europea oltre
a quella nazionale, con tutti i diritti e ovviamente i doveri che questo comporta reciprocamente tra i membri
dell'Europa Unita. Credo che individuando un'identità di appartenenza più solida si potrebbero fare dei grandi
passi avanti per la cooperazione e l'integrazione.

evaluations: 8)
mi spiego. Almeno per le seguenti materie, indispensabili per vivere una vera piena democrazia : -fisco,
la sussistenza dello stato -sanità -scuola -lavoro -Giustizia , bisognerebbe portare tutti gli stati membri su
medesimi livelli di diffusione. Esempio: bisognerebbe creare un codice penale europeo, non è possibile che lo
stesso reato ( es. falso in bilancio) venga sanzionato in modi diversi in diversi paesi della stessa unione. Tutti
i cittadini europei devono essere UGUALI davanti alla legge, devono poter usufruire della stessa assistenza
medica, avere pari contratti di lavoro, insomma avere gli stessi diritti e doveri all'interno di tutta l'Unione. Vi
prego, impedite , a livello europeo, che il sistema sociale (welfare) italiano, ossia scuola - sanità - pubblica
sicurezza, venga smantellato. Impedite a tutti i partiti xenofobi,razzisti di avere un posto a sedere nel
parlamento europeo. Impedite ai politici europei di poter essere eletti nel parlamento europeo, o sedere da
presidenti, se condannati per qualsiasi reato non colposo. Rendete forte e più trasparente il parlamento
europeo. Un parlamento forte, seriamente impegnato e limpido è la migliore garanzia di soddisfazione
democratica di tutti noi cittadini. Insomma dopo la moneta unica bisogna lavorare alacremente per arrivare
ad avere una politica unica.

COESIONE ED EVITARE PUNTI DI ATTRITO.
1030. nei collegamenti e mobilità (importance: 72%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 11)
credo che bisogna migliorare l'interazione sociale delle varie nazioni valorizzando le caratteristiche etniche
,insomma migliorare la possibilità di non perdere le indentità nazionali a scapito di un'unione amorfa ,ma
valorizzare la propria caratteristica nazionale ed interagire con altre allo stesso stremo, da potere approfondire
le radici e allo stesso tempo modernizzarsi su basi concrete.

La cultura europea esiste già. In tutti i campi, filosofia, letteratura, arte non ci sono barriere. L'unico ostacolo
è la lingua. Appare inevitabile e positivo adottar una lingua comuine che non uccide le lingue nazionali, che
contengono un patrimonio inestimabile. Semplicemente si affianca ad esse.

1037. L'integrazione vera forza dell'Unione Europea. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 10)
L'Unione Europea dovrebbe investire le proprie energie sull'integrazione perchè la diversità dei molti popoli
che compongono l'Unione dev'essere una risorsa. E poi solo conoscendo gli altri e la loro cultura sarà
possibile raggiungere un'unità politica dell'Europa a mio avviso fondamentale.
1038. Bisognerebbe uniformare le garanzie sindacali in tutta UE. (importance: 71%, disagreement: 22,
evaluations: 10)
Ritengo che le condizioni dei lavoratori varino in modo eccessivo da un Paese all'altro. Moneta unica, ma
condizioni diverse... questo crea delle diseguaglianze sociali. Un esempio concreto? Gli stage: perché in
alcuni Paesi (Francia, per esempio) è attribuito un minimo sindacale a chi forma la propria prpfessionalità e
in altri (esempio a caso: Italia). Questo migliorerebbe di molto la vita quotidiana dei ragazzi più giovani che
si trovano nella fase intermedia tra studio e lavoro e farebbe sparire la mentalità dello sfruttamento degli
studenti, ormai assorbita dalle aziende. Si ripristinerebbe un concetto molto semplice: io lavoro, tu mi paghi.
Tra l'altro sgravando le famiglie di questi ragazzi, si arricchirebbe la società nel suo insieme. Una legge
comune, inoltre, dovrebbe regolare i contratti di lavoro, mettendo dei limiti alla precarietà.
1039. Mobilità sostenibile (importance: 70%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 9)
Vivere in una città come Roma, con 3 milioni di abitanti senza un'adeguata rete per la mobilità, è assurdo.
Si passano ore ed ore su mezzi di trasporto di superficie che non arrivano mai a causa della congestione
causata dal traffico cittadino. Traffico reso a sua volta necessario per mancanza di adeguati collegamenti
pubblici. Una cosa è vivere e lavorare a Barcellona, Madrid, Berlino o Parigi. Altro è cercare di sopravvivere
a Roma. Ne va della qualità della vita e dei rapporti sociali. Per costruire pochi chilometri di costosissime
metropolitane, si spende il doppio che in Spagna. E' possibile questo nel XXI secolo in uno dei paesi fondatori
della Ue? Invece che dai privati (per lo più costruttori che chiedono poi ai comuni in cambio milioni di altri metri
cubi di cemento), sarebbe più opportuno che la Ue si facesse carico del finanziamento delle reti di trasporto
nei singoli paesi per omologare anche degli standard ninimi comuni. Chiaramente con un controllo attento sui
progetti (europei) e le ditte che li realizzeranno (certificate da un organismo sovranazionale).

Sarebbe bello avere la possibilità di trascorrere qualche mese in altri Paesi appartenenti all'Unione effettundo
degli scambi con studenti che frequentano lo stesso corso di laurea e quindi soggiornando presso le rispettive
famiglie di questi ultimi o presso la loro abitazione e viceversa. Questi scambi oltre ad avere il vantaggio di
essere a basso costo offrono la possibilità a noi ragazzi di poter cogliere in una prospettiva "europea" ciò che
sarà domani il nostro lavoro e quindi il nostro futuro. Credo inoltre che ciò rappresenti una grande occasione
di crescita culturale.

Integrazione intesa pensando ad un comune intento, come se fossimo realmente un solo paese e non tanti
paesini litigiosi ognuno pronto a fare i propri interessi. Integrazione come puntare ad obiettivi comuni, con
strategie economiche concertate, orientate al bene comune di ogni singolo paese, nell'ottica di una nazione
europea. Integrazione attraverso una lingua comune che potrebbe essere la summa di tante lingue: come
l'Esperanto. Integrazione per una politica energetica ed ambientale integrata, basata sul risparmio energetico
e l'utilizzo di tecnologie non impattanti, sulla rprogettazione delle reti di trasporto (ad isole integrate) per
evitare problemi legati alle produzioni da fonti rinnovabili (discontinuità del servizio, ecc.).

siderurguica e presto quella manifatturiera, USA e GB insegnano! B) Obbligare le aziende Italiane a pagare

Ritengo inadeguati sia nella qualità sia nella quantità:asili nido e scuole materne. I servizi collegati alle scuole
dell'obbligo non sono coerenti con il lavoro dei genitori:mense, orari prolungati, corsi di recupero ecc se
presenti sono comunque effettuati a scapito della qualità dell'insegnamento. La maggior parte della cura alle
persone con difficoltà di salute, dal bambino portatore di handicap all'anziano infermo, ricade sulla famiglia se
non solo sulla donna. Servirebbero quindi orari più elastici nelle scuole, personale docente e non di maggior
qualità e adeguatamente retribuito, un servizio sanitario capace di prendersi cura del cittadino

La UE dovrebbe garantire ed esigere e farsi garante di quelle richieste basilari che però se portate avanti dai
cittadini hanno poco successo. Se una città supera lesoglie del troppo inquinamento,si passi a una punizione
seria,si obblighi quella città a bloccare la circolazione delle macchine,così i governi locali si daranno una
svegliata a trovare soluzioni vere. La UE controlli le direttive che emana,oppure tutti i paesi o quelli furbetti
se ne approfitteranno per truccare i dati.Obbligare i censimenti dei condizionatori e caldaie anche se con
Regolamento EU 8422006 si proverà, ma fare di più,dare segnali ai paesi membri di non essere un qlc di
vago,ma di presente e attento. Obbligare i paesi membri a garantire politiche sociali effettive, elementari
e basilari, con standard minimi obbligatori. Creare e diffondere una tessera sanitaria europea,a cui poter
accedere con cartelle cliniche on-line. Insomma,controllare ciò che si propone,creare sistemi di controllo
efficaci e dare punizioni adeguate soprattutto per infrazioni che danneggiano le cose più immediate come la
salute dei cittadini.

ingiusta e ha i mezzi economici può spostarsi in un'altro paese per fare quello che nel suo non è permesso.
Non è certo democratico. Inoltre la spesa sanitaria in Italia è relativamente alta ma mal investita, si deve
sempre più ricorrere nella medesima struttura a visite, esami o operazioni a pagamento per essere curati in
tempi brevi. Bisogna individuare delle linee guida di gestione del patrimonio finanziario, umano e strutturale a
cui un paese deve attenersi e i mezzi per obbligarlo a rispettare queste linee.

I fenomeni che ci coinvolgono quotidianamente hanno ormai carattere sovranazionale. Per questo è

sia un lavoro non precario per dare a tutti un senso di prospettiva nella vita. E poi il tema dell'ambiente, che
investe direttamente o indirettamente la vita di tutti i cittadini europei: è arrivato il momento in cui l'Unione
Europea, svincolata da lobbies che distorcono la democrazia, diventi il faro assieme agli USA della lotta
allo sfruttamento indiscriminato delle risorse e si faccia promotrice di politiche forti a sostegno delle energie
rinnovabili, di una agricoltura sana che punti alla qualità ed alla sicurezza alimentare. Vanno ribaditi inoltre
i diritti fondamentali dell'uomo come la libertà e l'uguaglianza, che oggi si declinano anche con il diritto
di accesso all'acqua come bene vitale, all'informazione come strumento essenziale per una democrazia
compiuta, alle pari opportunità per entrambi i sessi di contare ed esprimersi nella società. Insomma, una
UE dei diritti e delle responsabilità, che sappia governare e indirizzare i processi economici e non esserne
succube.
1106. Assistenza socio sanitaria (importance: 74%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 11)
Garantire l'assistenza alle persone realmente bisognose, affette da malattie incurabili che necessitano di una
serie di cure ed attenzioni che le famiglie di appartenenza non riescono a dare.
1107. ESERCITARE PRESSIONI PER LA MODIFICA DELLE PENSIONI (importance: 74%, disagreement: 6,
evaluations: 5)
Non è giusto e nemmeno civile che giunti ad una età in cui si è dato la propria vita per il benessere di tutti,
percepire una pensione che a mala pena ti sostiene, mentre la casta di potere arricchita con il nostro sudore
percapisce somme di denaro da fare vergogna. Questi signori godono una volta a rioiso di diverse pensioni
e vitalizi, mentre chi si è rotto la schiena per mantenerli in caso di sua morte lascierà alla sua consorte una
pensione ridotta alla fame, mentre si sa questi enti raccimolano denaro come delle banche o assicurazioni
private intascando tuti i versamenti fatti e quelli non maturati. E' una vergogna. Il lavoro a questo punto diventa
solo una pena a vita per poi passare solo ad una vita grama e povera non solo nel materiale ma nel morale
delle genti. Se l'europa nella sua grandezza vuole perseguire nella consapevole stoltezza di certi stati come
l'Italia, allora l'europa nuovamente riflette l'egoisno di coloro che sino ad oggi hanno manipolato il potere per
gli interessi di pochi, creando sfiducia nel domani.

Credo che una accelerazione delle telecomunicazioni possa produrre una accelerazione di molti aspetti
positivi. Minori necessità di spostamenti fisici possono significare un sensibile miglioramento della qualità della
vita, minor inquinamento, minori richiesta di nergia in genere, ma sopratutto maggior tempo libero che è pur
sempre un "motore" dell'economia. Credo infatti che oggi molti che possono "consumare" non hanno il tempo
per farlo. Chi ha il tempo non ha i mezzi.
1112. Incentivare sostegno e servizi alla famiglia (importance: 73%, disagreement: 14, evaluations: 12)
Adeguare la società (trasporti, uffici pubblici, lavoro, commercio) alle mutate esigenze delle famiglie, nelle
quali i coniugi lavorano entrambe. A patirne sono le cure parentali verso i figli e gli anziani. Si pongono allora
due alternative: 1) modificare alcuni capisaldi: incentivare il telelavoro da casa (stai a casa, viaggi meno, lavori
di più, curi la famiglia), favorire il part-time, estendere gli orari commerciali, spostare la burocrazia su internet
snellendola, sostenere il prescuola/doposcuola. 2) assegnare uno stipendio per il ruolo di casalinga/o (solo a
chi ha già lavorato per almeno 5-10 anni, rapportato alla media degli stipendi), valido per 1 dei coniugi.

L'Europa deve innanzitutto conoscere bene se stessa. Per progettare un futuro migliore per le prossime
generazioni è opportuno affidarsi ai migliori scienziati e ricercatori, i più bravi delle università europee,
ciascuno per la sua competenza e senza condizionamenti politici o economici.
1116. Omogenizzare gli standards di vita in tutti i paesi UE. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 20,
evaluations: 6)
Fatto 100 il massimo dell'efficienza dei sevizi e della qualità del wellfare, ci si trova in EU ad avere 80 in molte
zone della Germania, della Francia e del nord Italia, 90 nei paesi nord europei e si scende a 30 in molte realtà
dell'Italia del sud, della Grecia della Spagna e del Portogallo. Sarebbe auspicabile che il "governo" dell'UE,
si impegnasse per garantire ad ogni cittadino dell'Unione qualità di servizi, di reale democrazia e sicurezza
degni del Continente. Tale impegno dovrebbe prescindere anche dalla sovranità di ogni singolo paese
membro dell'Unione, fino a prevedere delle sanzioni per i paesi membri, che tali standards non garantiscono.
E' auspicabile un sempre maggiore coinvolgimento di un Governo Centrale Europeo che assuma sempre piu
peso nell'economia, nella difesa e nell'educazione.
1117. Aiuto alle famiglie. (importance: 72%, disagreement: 21, evaluations: 12)
Più della metà delle famiglie dell'UE sono oberate dal costo della vita. L'euro ha scombinato i valori
economici delle cose da comprare in genere. Il problema è che però i salari sono rimasti gli stessi. L'UE
secondo me dovrebbe fare in modo che le aziende e gli stati fissino i salari in base al costo della vita. Inoltre,
dovrebbe prevedere dei bonus economici per le famiglie più in difficoltà. Si parla tanto di scarsa natalità,
pochi matrimoni, ecc. Ma io stesso, a 24 anni, non sono sicuro, che se dovessi sposarmi anche tra 10
anni, posso avere una certa sicurezza economica che mi permetta di crescere dei figli. L'UE deve aiutare
economicamente e soprattutto moralmente. Deve dimostrare che in caso di difficoltà LEI (l'UE) c'è.

Molti anziani hanno solo 1 o 2 figli,se essi lavorano la gestione degli anziani puo' essere difficile ed

Se l'istruzione viene massivamente privatizzata, potrebbe finire nelle mani di imprenditori senza scrupoli
che hanno interesse solo al proprio tornaconto. La scuola non può trasmettere il messaggio di competività
aggressiva di una azienda rampante! E tutti, proprio tutti, ricchi e poveri devono poter aver accesso
all'istruzione. L'istruzione dei giovani, l'arte e la cultura in genere, sono il vero nutrimento per la nostra anima
fin da giovanissimi e diventa la "fragranza" di tutta la vita. E' estremeamente importante che i nostri giovani,
che rappresentano il futuro dell'umanità, vengano cresciuti, istruiti ed educati in ambienti sereni e ricchi di
stimoli creativi e culturali. La scuola non dovrebbe neanche opprimere con le sue rigità o appiattire i talenti
in nome di una massiva somministrazione dei saperi. Le personalità sono molteplici e la scuola dovrebbe
prevedere spazi che favoriscano la libera espressione e la coltivazione dei vari talenti che si manifestano fin
dalla più tenera età in un essere umano, a tutti i livelli. Non ci meravigliamo che l'uoma ha perso le capacità
artistiche, manuali, creative che possedeva un tempo? Chiediamoci perché! A cosa serve che tutti sappiano
tutto un pò di tutto ma quasi nessuno o veramente pochi eccellono! Una cultura di base è una buona cosa ed
è necessaria, ma poi ognuno deve poter avere accesso alla propria ricchezza interiore. Ognuno deve potersi
coltivare come un giardino. La scuola, l'istruzione pubblica deve p

1136. L'Europa dovrebbe investire in cultura, istruzione, ricerca. (importance: 88%, disagreement: 11,
evaluations: 8)
Il motore di una società è formato dalle coscienze dei propri cittadini. Coscienze che si formano nelle scuole,
nelle università, nei centri di ricerca che devono essere indipendenti, liberi e assolutamente democratici per
dare ad ogni cittadino la possibilità di crescere e di trovare uno spazio proprio di espressione. Oggi sono le
industrie, l'economia a richiedere le specializzazioni che servono, riducendo la formazione a un diplomificio
senza libertà. L'istruzione non è soddisfare l'esigenze del mercato ma fornire a ciascuno gli strumenti
fondamentali per capire il mondo e affrontarlo. Purtroppo oggi si accondiscende ovunque a quello che
richiede il mercato e questo assopisce le coscienze, appiattisce le volontà e porta ad uno sviluppo meramente
economico con i guasti che sono sotto gli occhi di tutti e dai quali non ci si libera se non invertendo
radicalmente rotta.

di una legislazione europea.

La libertà di espressione dovrebbe essere garantita di fatto non solo in diritto. In Italia si sta assistendo -da
anni- ad una pericolosa concentrazione dei mezzi di informazione nelle mani di chi governa. Una sorveglianza
a livello europeo sul funzionamento delle democrazie degli Stati membri sarebbe auspicabile ed in primis una
sorveglianza sulla libertà di stampa e di parola negli spettacoli televisivi. Non si puo' più tollerare che i mezzi di
informazione siano proni al potere del momento e che le voci dissidenti siano messe a tacere (molti giornalisti
anche importanti e stimati hanno perso il lavoro, si ricordi il caso di Enzo Biagi).

Mi piacerebbe che l'Unione Europea garantisse uno standard comunitario per quanto riguarda la qualità degli
insegnamenti scolastici e universitari. Sarebbe interessante investire in un programma di scambio inter-
europeo ad ogni livello di scuola per favorire comunicazione e apertura di pensiero fra i giovani. Per quanto
riguarda la sicurezza credo sia ora di creare un esercito europeo che può servire a due scopi: garantire
una maggiore coesione e rispondere in maniera più unitaria alle sfide militari del secolo. Credo che debba
avere maggiori poteri sugli Stati Membri, soprattutto in riferimento alla situazione anomala della democrazia
nel mio paese: l'Italia. Dovrebbe garantire la ver< libertà d'informazione chiarendo la propria posizione sul
conflitto d'interesse e legiferare di conseguenza. Se non rispettato, non imporre sanzioni che gravano sulla
popolazione, ma attivare canali di potere politico. Inoltre, dovrebbe poter intervenire in situazioni dove gli Stati
Nazionali hanno chiaramente fallito: vedisi il problema della mafia in Italia.
1142. Aumento del livello di cultura scientifica e tecnica (importance: 86%, disagreement: 8, evaluations:

Sono un editore che si occupa di editoria STM (scientifica-tecnica-medica). Il mercato, soprattutto in Italia,
è depresso, e questo è un problema, anche di sopravvivenza, per la mia attività. Cosa ancora più grave, è
un problema che investe tutta la società, perché senza cultura scientifica e tecnica non c'è innovazione, e
senza innovazione cede la possibilità di progredire e di resistere alle tensioni economiche. Occorre quindi
un programma molto forte, che incentivi la cultura scientifica e tecnica in tutte le applicazioni e in tutti i settori.
Occorre iniziare dalla comunicazione, per creare modelli nei quali i giovani possano identificarsi, modelli
creati con il loro linguaggio e con meccanismi attraenti e premianti: perché smettano di vedere il loro futuro
come star dello spettacolo, o in alternativa come disoccupati. A seguire, e in modo fortemente integrato,
avviare meccanismi premiali nella scuola, per alunni e insegnanti che si orientino a sviluppare skills avanzate
nelle discipline scientifiche e tecniche. Per giungere a tutta la società, con l'obiettivo di concedere incentivi,
in modo capillare, a chi si occupa di scienza: corsie preferenziali per i ricercatori nelle università, incentivi
all'industria della cultura, agli autori, ai giornalisti, agli eventi, risorse e agevolazioni alle attività produttive
che sulla scienza e la tenologia avanzata basano il loro business. Buona parte dell'Europa può diventare un
gigantesco think tank

L'UE dovrebbe investire le risorse dei cittadini europei per diffondere la cultura della partecipazione alla
società, con particolare attenzione ai rapporti tra individuo e gruppo, da cui discendono le responsabilità e
le tutele reciproche. Nodo fondamentale dovrebbe essere la cultura della partecipazione alla cosa pubblica
in quanto risorsa "di tutti", e non "di nessuno". Oltre alla necessità di veicolare una cultura per mezzo
dell'insegnamento, dovrebbe avere maggiore presenza anche come istituzione politica, usando il diritto
di sussidiaretà e non semplicemnete sentenziando la legittimità o meno delle situazioni in esame, ma
sorvegliando in primis e, se non applicate, applicando direttamente le sentenze laddove gli stati membri non
ottemperino alle indicazioni dell'Unione. In sostanza l'area è la giustizia: l'UE dovrebbe tutelare la sovranità dei
popoli europei, intervenendo in modo deciso sulle porcherie prodotte dai vari parlamenti, assicurando che il
diritto alle pari opportunità sia tutelato ovunque.

giudizio certi, la tutela dell'imputato fornendogli tutti i mezzi per la sua difesa e dall'altra parte una pena certa

promuoverla, cioè dare la possibilità a tutti di proseguire gli studi. Sulla carta il nostro stato lo garantisce

Bisognerebbe creare una vera e comune identità Europea preservando comunque quella dei Popoli perchè la
ricchezza culturale dell'Europa sta proprio nella diversità dei diversi popoli che la compongono. Oltre a creare
una vera identità Europea, bisognerebbe mettere i paletti ai confini dell' Unione e cominciare a lavorare di più
sui Popoli che la compongono rendendoli più vicini e dialoganti. L' Europa si è allargata troppo, anche a Paesi
che non ne posseggono gli standard economici e culturali e questo può rivelarsi più un boomerang che si
ritorcerà contro. Non si può ulteriormente allargare l'Unione ad altri Paesi perchè si verrebbe a creare un forte
squilibrio socio-culturale ed economico.

1180. Nell'area culturale ci sono lacune (importance: 81%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 12)
Il vero spirito europeo dovrebbe essere quello di unire e non dividere o creare barriere, anche se nel rispetto
di tutte le culture e tradizioni locali. L'esempio Stati Uniti: sono stati una grande nazione perchè 50 Stati si
sono uniti sotto un'unica bandiera e sotto un unico governo, sebbene abbiamo mantenuto i governi locali,
ed anche con notevoli autonomie. E' necessario far sentire europei gli abitanti di questo vecchio continente,
ancorché prima che inglesi, francesi, maltesi ... E' necessario, secondo me, investire sulle lingue: ognuno di
noi è giusto parli la lingua che i propri nonni e bisnonni parlarono, ma bisogna decidere una o due lingue che
siano "obbligatorie" per tutti gli abitanti dell'UE. Solo così ci sentiremo veramente un'unica nazione anche
nella cultura; il maltese potrà colloquiare tranquillamente con un danese ed tedesco con un sardo. Solo
così potremo anche saper fronteggiare le enormi potenze del futuro (ad es.India e Cina, oltre che Russia).

grande vuoto nella formazione dei giovani. E nella terza età le cose non vanno meglio. Per non parlare poi
del diritto di autore di cui si sta perdendo il signficato. Troppe ingiustizie ed inqualificabili dissonanze. Questa
Europa tanto desiderata dai padri fondatori non sta assumendo una vera immagine. Il contatto Cittadini
e l'Europa stenta a decollare. Il web che doveva essere una strada aperta per condividere e confrontarsi
è sempre più demonizzato e quindi non usato al meglio. Se mi sveglio una mattina e vorrei far arrivare i
miei pensieri attraverso i miei libri di poesie a qualcuno che possa aiutarmi a divulgarmi, sono costretta a
rinunciare. Insomma, mi sto avvedendo che essere onesti costa troppo! Perchè è così difficile essere rigorosi,
fare solidarietà nei modi che abbiamo disponibili ed essere credibili.Perchè sembra impossibile ai nostri
giorni anche voler difendere i valori intramontabili della famiglia, della morale e della propria fede. Perchè, si
è portati a perdere la fiducia nelle istituzioni e il rapporto tra i singoli è sempre più improntato su diffidenza e
mancanza di alterità.
1185. Integrazione culturale e lingua (importance: 81%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 7)
I cittadini europei si sentono più italiani, tedeschi, francesi e così via che effetivamente europei. Credo
che sia importante promuovere una cultura di appartenenza all'Unione, il che potrebbe essere facilitato da
una forte spinta verso l'integrazione innanzitutto linguistica. In questo frangente ho avvertito molto di più la
presenza dello Stato che dell'Unione, e mi piacerebbe che si avviassero programmi volti al potenziamento
dell'insegnamento della lingua inglese, ormai ufficiosamente riconosciuta come lingua internazionale e
comunitaria (dico così perchè è la più conosciuta e quella correntemente utilizzata per i rapporti interpersonali

Recentemente sono tornato per l'ennesima volta a Parigi. Non ho ancora capito cosa rappresenti un'Europa
unita nel momento che coesistono realtà socio-ambientali tanto diverse tra di loro; non ho ancora capito
come si possono definire cittadini dell'Europa sia i parigini che gli abitanti di certe città, specialmente del
sud Italia, dove la politica si occupa esclusivamente di depredare la gente..... D'altro canto, non è anche
vero che gli europarlamentari italiani "arraffano" uno stipendio vergognosamente alto?, il più alto di tutti? E
che contemporaneamente siano tra quelli che maggiormente disertano le sedute del Parlamento europeo?
Qualcuno sa spiegare alla gente del Sud Italia, in particolare, a che cosa serve un'EuropAa unita che non
sa attenzionare queste situazioni di degrado della politica Italiana nel suo insieme? A cosa serve l'azione
comunitaria? Fino ad oggi abbiamo visto d'importante soltanto l'adozione dell'€uro (Gran Bretagna,
ovviamente, esclusa!), che ha operato un rastrellamento di "ricchezza" dalle tasche del ceto medio a quelle
dei soliti furbastri. In ciò sono enormi le responsabilità morali dei politici europei: l'impoverimento di decine di
migliaia di nuclei familiari che hanno visto dimezzarsi gli stipendi. Si è creata quel tipo di società cosiddetta "a
piramide", in sostituzione della precedente detta"a uovo": pochissimi straricchi, sostenuti da apparati statali e,
con alla base, una larga presenza di cittadini divenuti oramai indigenti.

L'Unione ha bisogno di una identità culturale. Il patrimonio culturale dei singoli paesi va sentito e conosciuto
dai cittadini europei come patrimonio di tutti gli appartenenti all'Unione europea. Nel patrimonio culturale
va ricompreso non solo quello materiale, ma anche quello immateriale fra cui appartengono le differenze
linguistiche. I diversi paesi devono collaborare perché i beni protetti dai vincoli monumentali siano
effettivamente di utilità per la collettività europea e quindi da essa effettivamente usufruibili e devono essere
anche conservati e trasmessi all'usufruibilità delle generazioni future. Il patrimonio culturale è strettamente
collegato all'istruzione e alla ricerca e questa al miglioramento delle condizioni non solo materiali della
collettività. Una collettività più istruita è una collettività che affronta meglio le problematiche che mano a mano
si presentano nella convivenza civile. La qualità della vita è strettamente collegato alla salvaguardia di tali beni
fra cui, fondamentali i beni ambientali e paesaggistici. La salvaguardia dell'ambiente come ambiente ideale
dove continuare a vivere è una esigenza di noi tutti europei e non solo. In definitiva va salvaguardato il genere
umano, con la sua storia e va salvaguardato anche con uno sguardo al futuro, pensando alle generazioni
che verranno. Questo va fatto rispettando il lavoro creativo anche degli artisti e scienziati contemporanei che
danno una identità storica al nostro presente. Buon l

ad un farmacista abilitato e con tanto di idoneità alla titolarità di una farmacia, di poterne aprire una. Quindi
o la si eredita o la si compra (occorrono milioni di euro) oppure si aspetta che la Regione e quindi la politica
decida di indire un concorso per una nuova sede (una nuova farmacia); questo di solito da adito a ricorsi legali
ed a procedure lunghissime: a chi serve ritardare l'apertura di nuove farmacie? Pechè se lo Stato ti riconosce
una Laurea, una abilitazione (Esame di Stato) ed infine "l'idoneità alla titolarità di una farmacia" occorre
competere attraverso un concorso per aprirne una? Soprattutto perchè i cittadini devono subire questo
disservizio? Il problema è serio, avvilente professionalmente per chi lo subisce, perchè non può nemmeno
sognare di realizzare quello per cui ha studiato tanto e non perchè vi sia una saturazione, ma perchè la legge
te lo impedisce, rendendoti di fatto cittadino con meno diritti di chi la farmacia la può ereditare o comprare.

Tollerare è facile per una cultura solidissima, mentre mettersi in discussione è quasi impossibile. Qui c'è
bisogno di cultura europea, cinema europeo, gossip europeo, libri europei, esempi di vita europei, marketing
europeo, occasioni di aggregazione con europei... perchè il programma Erasmus in Italia è solo una goccia

La cultura europea esiste già. In tutti i campi, filosofia, letteratura, arte non ci sono barriere. L'unico ostacolo
è la lingua. Appare inevitabile e positivo adottar una lingua comuine che non uccide le lingue nazionali, che
contengono un patrimonio inestimabile. Semplicemente si affianca ad esse.

Il patrimonio storico-artistico italiano è assolutamente trascurato dal pensiero politico. Occorre rendere
fruibile ogni parte di questo immenso patrimonio culturale. Ci sono moltissimi laureati in Storia dell'Arte o in
Archeologia disoccupati, proprio a causa di questa gestione negativa. La pura conservazione del rudere è
sciocca, bisognerebbe incrementare l'intervento del contemporaneo sul passato per poter attirare molti più
visitatori e, di conseguenza, l'attività economica dell'intero paese. Trascurando questo settore l'Italia trascura
se stessa e il suo avvenire. E' inutile fare tagli alla ricerca e alla cultura per favorire settori che potrebbero
avvalersi del nuovo sostentamento dato dall'incremento del turismo e della cultura.
1227. garazia dei diritti umani. più lavoro per i laureati (importance: 71%, disagreement: 13, evaluations:

La cultura è essenziale in qualunque società. Ci sono vari aspetti su cui si potrebbe agire: la formazione
linguistica, il settore scolastico, la formazione professionale, la ricerca, gli eventi culturali. La formazione
linguistica ritengo dovrebbe essere eseguita da madrelingua che ci aiuterebbero così a comprendere gli
altri popoli favorendo, nella pratica, l'integrazione culturale tra le differenti etnie. Inoltre tutto ciò che è
conoscenza (arte, scienza, religione e quant'altro) può essere fonte di interesse per molti. Il settore scolastico
dovrebbe saper aggiornarsi per accettare le varie etnie, poiché il futuro è e sarà sempre in mano ai giovani.
Trovo che la soluzione migliore sia mescolare bambini di etnie differenti, già a partire dai primi anni della
scuola dell'obbligo, per far capire che siamo tutti uguali. La formazione professionale è essenziale per dare
la possibilità a chi non ha un lavoro di acquisirne uno ed a chi lavora di aggiornarsi costantemente. La
formazione dovrebbe essere permanente, per tutti! Aumenterebbe, così, l'occupazione. La ricerca segue, a
mio avviso, un discorso di formazione costante per tutti: se i lavoratori sono più formati/aggiornati, lavorano
meglio e sono in grado si specializzarsi, sviluppando e ricercando tecnologie sempre migliori per la crescita
del paese, quindi di tutti. Gli eventi culturali forniscono la possibilità di condividere nozioni scientifiche,
artistiche, religiose con tutta la popolazione. E l'int

E' chiaramente penalizzante per i paesi che hanno particolarità nella produzione alimentare l'obbligo a
rispettare normative o modelli di concorrenza che si riferiscono a paesi che hanno una varietà di prodotti
molto meno ampia e molto meno specifica. Penso che sia opportuno che vadano garantite le razze animali,
le specie vegetali, i modi di produzione e tutto quanto rende diverso e apprezzato un prodotto locale da uno
indifferenziato e industriale. Penso in particolare a razze suine e bovine pregiate spesso penalizzate perché
non sono altrettanto produttive rispetto a razze non autoctone e sul quale non si è evoluto il prodotto. Infine
ritengo sia da IMPEDIRE il più possibile l'utilizzo industriale di OGM in quanto vincolanti per il produttore,
inutili e dannosi in particolare in un regime di sovrapproduzione quale quello della nostra economia. Non

dove ci si riempie la bocca di meritocrazia, ma ad andare avanti, ad occupare la stragrande maggioranza
dei posti qualificati disponibili, non saranno mai quelli che hanno studiato di notte per laurearsi, che hanno
accettato mille incarichi pur di specializzarsi, che hanno rinunciato a molti momenti di felicità per aggiornarsi,
figli di operai o semplici impiegati. I prescelti saranno ancora quelli magggiormente funzionali ad un certo tipo
di modello di sviluppo di carriera basato non sul merito, ma su relazioni interpersonali, di casta, di gruppo
ristretto, familistiche, di vicinanza politica od opportunistiche. Io ho suggerito ai miei tre figli di essere preparati
a vivere anche esperienze fuori da questo amato/odiato paese. Amato perché è la tua terra d'origine, quella
delle tue tradizioni, dove hanno lavorato e sofferto i tuoi avi. Odiato, perché tratta il cittadino comune da
suddito, in maniera superficiale, ambigua, distaccata, lontana da quegli standard europei e mondiali su cui
invece ti sei formato. E ci soffri anche quando vai in Europa per lavoro o piacere e poi rientri a "casa". Ben

Nell'ambito della scuola (sto parlando di quella italiana, perché purtroppo non ho avuto la possibilità di
frequentare una scuola al di fuori dei confini nazionali) non credo ci sia una sufficiente valorizzazione delle
attività extra-scolastiche, come sport e musica:tutto ciò per cui ci si impegna al di fuori delle mura scolastiche
può influire infatti solo per un credito l'anno indipendentemente dal numero o dal tipo delle attività svolte;
vale a dire che può influire per solo il 3% sul voto complessivo dell'esame di maturità. Inoltre per ottenere
crediti non basta praticare uno sport a livello agonistico o suonare uno strumento ad alti livelli, ma bisogna
riportare certificati di competizioni, ad esempio io facendo canoa ed allenandomi per gli italiani che si terranno
ad agosto non riceverò crediti per tutto un anno di allenamenti. Tutto ciò non è possibile poiché se già uno
studente oltre che studiare il dovuto a scuola, si impegna in un'attività esterna, spendendo pure tempo e
denaro, dovrebbe essere premiato con qualcosa di più della possibilità di avere un credito in più a fine anno.
Si potrebbe ad esempio aumentare il numero dei crediti forniti per le attività extra-scolastiche, o assegnarne
anche a chi non compete.

non dipendere da politiche di solo profitto. Gli edifici dovrebbero essere coibentati per poter conservare il
livello di temperatura richiesto, il più a lungo possibile, permettendo di risparmiare molto denaro ed energia. E'
opportuno sviluppare politiche di trasporti di massa e non singole auto, inoltre esistono motorizzazioni a zero
emissioni come l'aria compressa.

1259. energia alternativa (importance: 91%, disagreement: 9, evaluations: 10)
se non è già troppo tardi, credo sia il caso di puntare e investire sulle energie alternative, in modo di inquinqre

1261. Sviluppo di fonti di energia pulite (importance: 91%, disagreement: 5, evaluations: 11)
Il pianeta terra è un mondo che si sostiene grazie a un precario equilibrio naturale che noi esseri umani
abbiamo spezzato. Noi in questo pianeta ci viviamo e per quanto ne sappia è il solo in cui protemmo vivere,
è nostro dovere salvaguardare l'ambiente, è nostro dovere avere cura del nostro pianeta. I fumi nocivi delle
nostre fabbriche inquinano il nostro mondo e i nostri corpi, l'uomo è un essere intelligente che può fermare
tutta questa barbarie e creare una armonia con la natura. Se l'Unione Europea desse più finanziamenti alla
ricerca di fonti alternative di energia e ne stimolasse la ricerca, non solo noi vivremmo meglio ma lasceremmo

Oggi la scuola è un luogo in cui si impara come entrare far parte della malavita. Io penso che essa debba
essere un punto di incotro dove i ragazzi imparano a vivere,un luogo in cui si possa imparare a conoscere
gli altri senza avere dei pregiudizi. Negli ultimi anni ci sono state molti gesti non idonei alla vita che ognuno
di noi dovrebbe avere nella vita quotidiana. Concretamente vorrei che voi faceste più controlli all'interno dell'

Ogni volta che mi capita di essere in Austria o Grmania sono stupito dallo sviluppo dell'energia eolica in quei
paesi! Magari ci fosse anche in Italia un piano energetico articolato come in certi paesi del Nord Europa;
noi abbiamo abolito il nucleare 20 anni fa senza creare delle alternative perché purtroppo la nostra classe
politica non ha il pragmatismo ed il senso della pianificazione della classe politica nordeuropea. I problemi
non si risolvono con l'accanimento ideologico, come purtroppo spesso in Italia si fa, ma pensando al futuro
e pianificando. Si vuole uscire dal nuclare in un certo numero di anni? Lo si faccia gradualmente, ma
prevedendo un "mix" di alternative energetiche alternative, che consentano all'industria ed alla popolazione
locale di potersi approvvigionare a costi contenuti e non prevedano la dipendenza dalla sola energia fossile,
come purtroppo - in parte grazie anche alla scarsa lungimiranza della nostra classe politica - avviene. Io credo
che l'UE possa essere di grande aiuto all'Italia in questo senso, trasmettendo anche nel nostro paese quelle
migliori prassi che in altri paesi dell'UE fanno la differenza.

Vivo in una regione svantaggiata come la sardegna, dove trasporto, mobilità e occupazione sono al collasso.
Auspico investimenti in energie rinnovabili a basso impatto ambientale. Energia eolica o solare, di cui la mia
terra ha grandi riserve, dovrebbero essere maggiormente sfruttate, per ridurre il gap tecnologico che ci separa
da regioni più progredite, facendo in modo di attirare capitali ed investimenti che sviluppino maggiormente la
nostra economia

L'energia entra in ogni campo della nostra vita; Bisogna proseguire sulla strada intrapresa e continuare a
pretendere l'efficienza energitica da parte dei produttori di apparecchiature energivore. Inoltre sarebbe utile
e interessante un bando rivolto ai cittadini UE per l'accesso a finanziamenti (non cumulativi) circa l'uso di
pannelli solari; tra i vantaggi di un bando UE ci sarebbe il superamento di eventuali ostacoli nazionali

immigrazione illegale - se l ue in principio vuole che l europe sia unita come l usa( perche credo che questo
sia l punto iniziale) allora non so perche l ue non combatte ancora in prima persona per questo suggetto che
sta letteralmente invadento malta e sardegna con immgirati. l influsso di clandestini in malta e superiore alla
nascita di bambini. E vergonoso che non che un spalmamento come deve essere. Sta lasciando che malta
viene invasa da immigrati e non puo tenere di piu di quel che po. mia avete deluso a me, a me che ho votato
per l eu.. 3 - traffico, vi prego mandate qual che specialista ad auitare i nostri architetti perche di traffico
non capiscono niente. Signor Barroso, sappi che qua a malta per fare soltanto due kilometri nel mattino, ti
devi fare piu di 30min in traffico.. e vergonoso e nessuno vuol fare qualcosa come le strade vergonose che
abbiamo.. L ultima parola, in questi pochi anni che malta sta nell ue, vorrei dire che ho visto progresso, ho
visto strade costruirsi, ho visto tanto progresso ma credo di strada chi sia molta da fare. Dai un po d occhio all

L'energia pulita sarà la nostra salvezza! Se fossimo tutti incentivati ad installare pannelli solari/fotovoltaici sul
tetto delle nostre case, potremmo dare un reale contributo alla diminuzione della CO2 emessa dalle centrali
elettriche. Pensate se ogni casa dei nostri paesi avesse uno o più pannelli solari sul tetto: quale risparmio
ne avremmo e quanta CO2 in meno! Credo però che la divulgazione e la formazione professionale in questo
campo sono ancora troppo scarse. I corsi relativi alle tematiche energetiche faticano a partire poiché mancano
le sovvenzioni pubbliche per la realizzazione pratica ed, in parte, per lo scarso interesse dato dalla poca
informazione/divulgazione sull'argomento. Per di più il buon esempio, come sempre, dovrebbe essere dato
dalle istituzioni che però non fanno mai abbastanza per tutto ciò. Ci ritroviamo quindi con palazzi di enti
pubblici che inquinano più di un quartiere intero!
Sviluppo del nucleare e al tempo stesso delle fonti rinnovabili (ad esempio chi costruisce una nuova casa ha
l'obbligo di coprire il tetto di almeto il 33% di cui il 50% è finanziato dall'UE)

Una volta usciti dalla crisi finanziaria ed economica, il prezzo del petrolio comincera' a risalire di nuovo. Inoltre
temo che i problemi che ci verranno dai cambiamenti climatici saranno molto piu' gravi di quanto attualmente
immaginiamo. E avverranno molto prima. Investire sulle Energie Rinnovabili e sul Risparmio Energetico, oltre
ad alleviare i problemi precedenti, potrebbe creare un grande numero di nuovi posti di lavoro. Bisognerebbe
anche investire di piu' sul concetto della societa' della conoscenza (che era stata varata a Lisbona). Il mondo

Per quanto riguarda l'energia l'Unione europea dovrebbe attrezzarsi per adottare quanto più rapidemante
possibile il sistema dei tre pilastri previsto da Rifkin (Anticipare la terza rivoluzione industriale. Una nuova
agenda energetica per l’Unione Europea nel 21° secolo). Su questo aspetto La priorità è comunque di
renderci sempre più indipendenti dal petrolio. Per quanto riguarda il futuro bisognerebbe privilegiare
l'istruzione, la ricerca e la politica internazionale. L'Europa ha un ruolo secondario, per non dire marginale,
nello sviluppo e nella produzione delle nuove tecnologie: essa rischia di divenire solo un mercato di
consumatori. Istruzione e ricerca giovano a forgiare cittadini e a incrementare il ruolo dell'Europa nello
sviluppo delle nuove tecnologie. La politica internazionale deve vederci protagonisti, e capaci di divenire polo
d'equilibrio tra USA e Oriente. Politicamente l'Europa è molto più piccola dei suoi confini e dei suoi popoli.

In questo momento di crisi economica tutti gli stati hanno bisogno di liberare risorse economiche per il

praticare un risparmio di risorse economiche che potrebbero essere utilizzate per politiche di welfare senza
ridurre il potenziale difensivo militare europeo. I nostri giovani, parlo per i miei figli, già si sentono europei,

devono smantellare quelle "politiche" di politica oggi negative alla vita comunitaria. Una politica energetica
europea che sia promotrice dell'abbassamento delle emissioni nocive arrivando sino al controllo minuzioso
stato per stato, attraverso normative severe e da attuare da subito, di una miriade di inquinamenti pregressi e
operativi dettati da meri interessi politici ed economici, investendo in riconversioni e bonifiche ed operando per

prestazioni sempre maggiori con "avidità" superiore e così il mio PC da gioco del 1998 consumava 250W

La UE dovrebbe rendere obbligatorio un investimento percentuale nel bilancio di ciascuno stato membro
da dedicare all'incentivazione delle energie rinnovabili. Se possibile il regolamento per l'applicazione di tali
incentivi dovrebbe prevedere tappe temporali precise. Ancor meglio sarebbe se gli incentivi venissero gestiti
direttamente dalla UE: in Italia le istituzioni hanno la tendenza all'inerzia in questo campo e gli interessi dei
produttori di energia non rinnovabile sono ancora troppo radicati e collegati al potere politico. La UE dovrebbe

Oltre ad investire sulla ricerca e l'impianto di centrali elettriche che non usino combustibili fossili e siano

ad un consumo più oculato del bene energia e al rispetto generale dell'ambiente.Già riuscendo ad adottare
uno stile di vita più controllato e attento si potrebbero fare grandi passi avanti. Una campagna comunitaria
come quella adottata dal municipio di Stoccolma entro i propri confini e che l'ha condotta a vincere il premio
European Green Capital Award per il 2010.
Le energie rinnovabili sono e devono essere il futuro: solare, eolico, idrico devono essere il volano della
prossima generazione. Inoltre anche cambiare alimentazione alle auto, passando a combustibili meno
inquinanti come il GPL, il metano e in futuro elettricità e idrogeno

ma è difficile che frenerà al sua corsa; di conseguenza, per quanto possano calare i consumi, se vogliamo
davvero bene all'ambiente (frase ripetuta in continuazione da partiti politici, istituzioni, slogan di grandi aziende
che fanno greenwashing) allora bisogna davvero cambiare. Ci vogliono energie alternative? Prodighiamoci
per creare, sviluppare ed immettere sul mercato energie alternative. E' possibile che una pala eolica od un
pannello solare continuino a costare migliaia di euro? Eppure le tecnologie che usano risalgono a qualche
decennio fa. Dove sta l'inganno? L'alto costo è davvero giustificabile con il fatto che c'è ancora poca domanda

pratica fanno l'esatto opposto. Il contributo dell'Europa dovrebbe essere principalmente un'azione di controllo
sui nostri politici che sfruttano i finanziamenti europei destinati a ottime iniziative per arricchire le casse della
malavita. L'Europa, per fare qualcosa di positivo dovrebbe si investire, ma soprattutto CONTROLLARE che

l'istituzione id centri studio europei capaci di accogliere i migliori studenti da tutta l'Unione. La corruzione è un

Chiedo se è possibile creare una commissione che almeno a livello europeo e nazionale valuti l'impatto
sull'ambiente e sull'economia di certe decisioni prese dai singoli paesi relativamente alle energie rinnovabili
e non. L'impressione è che leggi o ordinamenti (divieto di circolazione per i veicoli euro o, ecoincentivi) siano
a maggior beneficio dell'industria automobilistica piuttosto che dell'ambiente e dell'uomo che lo popola.
Valutare l'impatto sia sull'ecosistema ma anche sull'economia su più decenni della creazione di centrali
nucleari piuttosto che di altri tipi fonti energetiche. Sono decisioni importanti prese da politici che hanno un
orizzonte temporale breve (di solito le prossime elezioni) che costano molto a tutta la colletività e che hanno
conseguenze decennali.

costituzione europea e crearla. L'energia pulita (dalla solare, al vento, all'idrogeno, ...) è la base per un futuro
migliore per il mondo, l'UE deve spingere in questo senso. Non si può buttare miliardi e miliardi per progetti

grande ed al contempo debole e povera. Continuare con progetti universitari come l'erasmus e creare regole
più severe e unitarie per le università europee. La gente comincia a non credere più nell'UE per chè non ne

Oggi deve essere ripensato il rapporto tra uomo ed ambiente nell'ottica di uno sviluppo che abbia il minor
impatto possibile sull'ambiente che ci circonda. La progettazione dei beni di largo consumo, così come
degli impianti industriali deve tener presente il concetto di Life Cycle, ovvero si deve pensare un manufatto,
qualunque esso sia, in tutte le sue fasi di vita, in modo da ottimizzarne l'impatto mentre lo si produce, lo si
utilizza e lo si dismette. In questa logica deve essere pensata anche l'energia, che dovrebbe essere prodotta

anche la loro costruzione e in seguito dismissione

questi 2 "virus" si creerebbe una nuova era di tecnologia al servizio dell'umanità e non dei "privilegiati";
Per quanto riguarda la nazione Italia, il concetto di Europa è visto come un blocco, un vincolo alla sovranità
nazionale. Sarebbe opportuno un miglioramento delle conoscenze legate all'Europa da parte di tutti i cittadini
italiani. In tema di energie pulite ed alternative esistono località con una forte possibilità di utilizzo di energie
alternative ( Sicilia = sole; Sardegna = sole e vento ). Se l'Europa non si decide ad obbligare le nazioni ad

dai paesi che ci forniscono il petrolio. L'europa ne gioverebbe in spesa e in salute. Adottare in tutti i paesi

esteri dobbiamo avere un corpo militare unificato che faccia da supporto a quello che diciamo e vogliamo,
inoltre bisogna avere una unica politica estera comune. Per queste cose i governi nazionali devono perdere
potere e a sua volta deve essere incrementato con vigore il potere di un governo UE, con anche un budget
incrementato per potere sostituiire mano a mano il ruolo dei governi nazionali in ogni ambito.

dell'energia eletrica è liberalizzata, ma tutta la produzione per obbligo di legge deve essere immessa nella
rete, e dal gestore ogni singolo produttore ha diritto solo a sgravi o rimborsi sulla bolleta energetica, di fatto ciò
che il produttore consuma viene preso dalla rete. La legislazione dovrebbe essere simile come in Germania e

nel settore del lavoro. Se tutti i paesi dell'Unione attuassero una politica di occupazione diffusa, per ridurre
la distanza tra aziende e cittadini e tra agenti di impiego pubblico e singoli lavoratori, allora si colmerebbe un
vuoto istituzionale particolarmente sentito dagli abitanti d'Europa. La proposta e' quella di creare dei centri
dell'impiego su scala europea, con un personale formato ad assistere sia da un punto di vista linguistico
che dell'orientamento, i potenziali candidati ad entrare o a ricollocarsi nel mondo del lavoro. I cittadini iscritti
alle liste di collocamento europee, verrebbero avvisati rispetto alle nuove opportunita' che di volta in volta
emergono e avrebbero nei centri per l'occupazione un interlocutore di riferimento nei momenti piu' cruciali
della ricerca di un nuovo impiego.

Potrebbe essere utile un indirizzo comunitario unico sullo svluppo energetico: è inutile dissipare fondi e sforzi
per il nucleare quando lo stoccaggio delle scorie è difficile e i prezzi dell'uranio sono alle stelle (non per la
francia che ha rapporti semi-coloniali con alcuni paesi produttori ma per l'italia di sicuro). Una politica europea
unica per lo sviluppo di fonti energetiche migliori/pulite darebbe una direzione unica su cui lavorare senza
possibilità di sprecare troppe risorse.

Per me l'ecoeconomia èl'unica via di salvezza per il nostro pianeta, la creazione di oasi ecologiche con
impianti fotovoltaici e, per chi come me vive a Napoli, un impianto di sfruttamento dei rifiuti per la produzione
di energia elettrica e termica e di concime per le nostre campagne, credo che sia obbiettivo primario per
l'attuale e future gestione del "governo europeo". Altro problema che per me si dovrebbe risolvere in ambito
europeo è l'iimigrazione clendestina. Non è bello, infatti, per gli italiani sentirsi chiamare razzisti, da tedeschi
olandesi per le iniziative che il nostro governo sta prendendo contro questo fenomeno. E' troppo facile
giudicare per chi non ha coste volte verso l'africa dove arrivano centinaia di migliaia di clandestini all'anno. Per
questo vorrei una T-Force contro l'immigrazione sul modello americano.

Incrementare lo sfruttamento delle energie rinnovabili "pulite" come l'eolico, solare e geotermico con
infrastrutture investimenti e finanziamenti pubblici al fine di fornire ai cittadini e alle aziende energia ad un
costo inferiore e con minore impatto sull'ambiente. Per rendere competitiva l'economia europea è necessario
fornire alle imprese le migliori infrastrutture e i migliori servizi al costo piu basso possibile dal momento che
non è piu possibile contrastare le importazioni con misure protezionistiche nei confronti dei paesi terzi. Non è
contrario ai principi della libera economia che gli stati forniscano alle aziende sul proprio territorio e ai propri
cittadini servizi in grado di renderle competitive nei confronti delle aziende estere. L'energia è la linfa vitale del
sistema bisogna partire da questo problema affrontandolo con un particolare occhio di riguardo nei confronti
dell'ambiente, affinchè lo sviluppo nel presente non pregiudichi la sopravvivenza delle future generazioni.

1447. Produzione industriale di energia dal fotovoltaico (importance: 77%, disagreement: 26, evaluations:
14)
Al momento il fotovoltaico è una tecnologia immatura e costosa, che non garantisce un adeguato ritorno
al privato che investa in autonomia. Invece dovrebbero essere le grandi compagnie elettriche ad investire
in massa in tal senso. Il modello dovrebbe essere simile a quello della telefonia mobile: affittare i lastrici
solari degli immobili e ricoprirli di pannelli fotovoltaici. In questo modo si ridurrebbero anche i consumi
energetici relativi al condizionamento degli appartamenti agli ultimi piani che si troverebbero "all'ombra" e
si utilizzerebbero solo gli immobili col tetto piatto senza alcun particolare valore storico ed estetico. Infine si
darebbe una spinta importante all'evoluzione delle tecnologie connesse, perché grandi aziende abituate a
costruire centrali nucleari o a carbone dai notevoli costi occulti avrebbero la determinazione e le adeguate
risorse finanziare per sostituire i pannelli con quelli di tecnologia più innovativa.
1448. Salvaguardia dell' ambiente ed energie alternative (importance: 76%, disagreement: 20, evaluations:

A mio parere si dovrebbero adottare, dopo gli sforzi già fatti, ulteriori politiche comunitarie di incentivazione
alle energie alternative atte all' introduzione obbligatoria in ogni stato di una percentuale di energia da
produrre con sistemi di produzioni fotovoltaici e/o similari. Ciò costituirebbe una seria, decisa e concreta
risposta ai fenomeni globali di inquinamento globale. Inoltre ciò costituirebbe uno stimolo economico non
indifferente verso una progressiva innovazione dei metodi di produzione di energia e di bioenergia. Infatti
le energie alternative costituendo già di per sè un settore potenzialmente trainante per tutte le economie
potrebbero essere un arma contro l' attuale congiuntura economica recessiva. Concretamente quindi sarebbe
una cosa molto costruttiva: -destinare fondi per la ricerca in materia -destinare fondi atti alla costituzione di
incentivi destinati alle stratificazioni reddituali medio basse della popolazione che consentirebbero la diffusione
di impianti di produzione energetica a livello domestico in maniera capillare. - legiferare e destinare risorse
alle società sanitarie, scuole, comuni in maniera da incentivare l' introduzione di questi impianti di produzione
energetica in tutte le strutture pubbliche europee. - destinare risorse a campagne di sensibilizzazione sulle
energie alternative in tutti gli stati appartenenti all' Unione Europea

che non esistessero situazioni come quella che viviamo in Italia con un paese "governato" da politici corrotti
e collusi con la mafia; una informazione imbavagliata, con media che raccontano solo le poche cose che
il regime lascia passare. Se avessimo un governo unico, non avremmo problemi con il monopolio di
berlusconi... che ignora persino le sentenze della corte europea e che tiene i cittadini in uno stato di ipnosi
per tenerli sempre sotto controllo. Se fossimo un unico paese non esisterebbero situazioni come quella di
Catania che nel 2009 non ha ancora le fognature (che vergogna!). Un'Europa unita politicamente non sarebbe

20 20 unendo un ambiente più pulito ed una best practice agricola. Auspico inoltre maggiori investimenti o
una regolamentazione che vadano nella direzione di una rete elettrica intelligente in modo da ottimizzare la
produzione di energia rinnovabile ed il suo utilizzo. Invito inoltre ad incentivare le autorità locali ad utilizzare
metodi bio ingegneristici per la messa in sicurezza dell'assetto idrogeologico, le soluzioni rigide come il
cemento armato sono spesso soluzioni a termine ed offrono il fianco a corruzione e speculazione, inoltre il
costo elevato di queste infrastrutture fornisce la scusa per una azione insufficiente, i sistemi bioingegneristici
basati sull'utilizzo di piante quali il vetiver, costano poco e possono essere autoprodotte dagli enti locali e
generare ricadute sociali di occupazione, inoltre concorrono al raggiungimento dell'obiettivo dell'abbattimento
delle emissioni incorporando CO2. Credo che l'Ambiente dovrebbe essere la priorità numero 1 della comunità.

Potrebbe sembrare incredibile che mentre in questi ultimi anni in Italia - e a Roma in particolare - sono

d'illuminazione e condizionamento, senza l'installazione che di pochi metri quadrati di pannelli fotovoltaici sui
tetti. Con un'adeguata bio-progettazione, si sarebbero ottenuti eccellenti risultati, con un risparmio del 60%
del fabbisogno energetico, ma in questo paese si fa tutto a parole, ma nei fatti, nulla. Altra cosa è in Germania
(che di sole ce n'è sicuramente meno che qui) o in Spagna, dove per legge si devono installare almeno un
x% di pannelli fotovoltaici sui tetti o facciate dei centri commerciali. Sarebbe da rivedere le reti d'interscambio
e la realizzazione di un unico centro di controllo energetico europeo, da cui far dipendere le realtà locali
(nazionali), per evitare tanti black out derivati dal mancato coordinamento delle risorse disponibili in situazioni
di emergenza. Poi, una politica energetica in cui il concetto di bene comune sia dominante su quello di
preofitto esclusivo.
Va sviluppata una comune politica energetica europea , per rendere l' europa il più possibile indipendente dal

a basso impatto ambientale quando ben gestite. Inoltre l'energia prodotto dal nucleare di 3 e 4 generazione è
enorme rispetto al costo, specialmente il nucleare di 4a generazione su cui bisogna investire massicciamente.

crea un susseguirsi di aspetti negativi: le aziende propongono contratti precari, il precariato non permette al
lavoratore di "comprare", le aziende non vendono e licenziano. Cosa serve? Servono più imprenditori, quindi
con finanziamenti e aiuto nello sviluppo dei progetti, andiamo a creare posti di lavoro e sviluppo economico. Il
finanziamento verrà poi risarcito con una percentuale sui guadagni, attuando inoltre con lo Stato un piano di
detassazione per i primi anni in cui l'azienda ha bisogno di crescere

1498. in italia abbiamo un grosso problema circa evasione fiscale (importance: 81%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 13)
credo che l'incentivo all'utilizzo di carte di credito e alte forme di denaro "virtuale" sia alla base per avere
un fisco più leggero e bilanciato per tutti sarebbe impossibile avere un'economia al 30% e più al nero come
succede ora avendo tracciate quasi tutte le transazioni effettuate ciò si ripercuoterebbe in una migliore opera
di monitoraggio da parte delle autorità competenti si innescherebbe un circolo virtuoso mediante il quale chi
ha venduto sarebbe tenuto a denunciare la vendita se ne desume che le tasse non sarebbero più a gravare
solo sui lavoratori dipendenti e si potrebbe raggiungere un tasso di evasione molto più basso, come nelle
società mature alle quale l'italia si dovrebbe ispirare, ergo un fisco più equo credo che la cosa migliore sia
incentivare questo utilizzo facendo capire bene che non ci sono commissioni per il cliente finale e diminuendo
quelle per chi accetta pagamenti con carta
1499. Fiscalità europea comune (importance: 81%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 12)
La crisi economica attuale si può risolvere e prevenire attuando strumenti di fiscalità comune, anche per
combattere la speculazione: l'euro è solo il primo passo verso l'armonizzazione fiscale
1500. Trasparenza dei mercati finanziari (importance: 80%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 14)
Obbligare le società quotate in borsa o che sollecitano il pubblico risparmio a rendere pubbliche su siti internet

interesse.
1501. Verifiche sulle banche e sui prodotti finanziari (importance: 80%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 17)
La recente crisi finanziaria era ampiamente prevedibile ed è stata resa possibile dall'aggressività di banche
ed istituti finanziari che hanno venduto mutui a chi non avrebbe potuto pagarli e girato in modo nascosto quei
crediti a piccoli risparmiatori che non avrebbero potuto conoscere la natura reale di quei crediti e quindi il loro
rischio. Lo stesso si può dire per gli altri crac finanziari dovuti alla leggerezza e alla connivenza con le quali
sono stati accordati crediti ad aziende che non avrebbero potuto mai pagarli. E' chiaro che punire i colpevoli
(semmai saranno puniti) non basta: quei soldi saranno persi e basta e chi ha investito i propri risparmi per
garantrisi il proprio fututro si troverà a non avere più nulla. Serve il controllo rigoroso.

La NAZIONE , un diritto ignorato. Dal latino " natione " ( nascita ) poi popolazione ovvero il complesso degli
individui legati da una stessa lingua storia civiltà interessi aspirazioni cioè coscienza di questo patrimonio
comune Partendo da quest ultimo assunto PATRIMONIO COMUNE perché il terrritorio nei fatti non è
considerqato tale ? Perché estitono parti di territorio esclusive perché soppravvive la logica come al tempo
dei feudi ? Non sarebbe giusto limitare il diritto alla semplice occupazione pro tempore all'uso cessato il
quale diventa disponibile per altri ? SE la NAZIONE è di tutti coloro che ci sono nati perché c è chi possiede
esclusive porzioni di questa e chi invece al massimo potrà avcere solo quella dove verrà sepolto ? Tutto il
territorio NAZIONE senza alcuna esclusione non dovrebbe essere acquistabile Sul territorio ogni cittadino
dovrebbe avere il diritto di viverci e lavorare e per farlo senza l obbligo di acquistarne un pezzo Per l
occupazione esclusiva il cittadino dovrebbe pagare allo STATO ( quindi al popolo tutto )solo il quid periodico
prestabilito per le dimensioni caratteristiche uso e tempo d occupazione terminato il quale la superfice lasciata
libera passerebbe ad altri interessati Questa più giusta e naturale regola oltre a concedere un diritto
uguale a tutti permette allo STATO di acquisire la totale disponibilità amministrativa e di uso di tutto il territorio

concorrenza le fiscalità dei paesi membri; semplificare le normative del lavoro e fiscali degli stati membri, che
sono troppo complesse e diverse da stato a stato, poter avere la concorrenza quindi non solo per le merci ma
anche per la burocrazia, (per esempio dovrebbe esserci la "liberalizzazione" degli uffici per la burocrazia, un
po' come scegliere un operatore di telecomunicazioni per l'ultimo miglio); spesso nemmeno i fiscalisti italiani
conoscono tutte le norme italiane; burocrazia non è solo il tempo che si impiega agli sportelli, ma anche il

bisognerebbe ridurre il peso fiscale per le piccole imprese, come la mia, che sono ogni anno tenute a pagare
una cifra decisamente esorbitante rispetto al guadagno lordo maturato. tutto questo fa sì che molti abbiano
difficoltà a far quadrare i bilanci, rischiando il fallimento e la chiusura. un altro punto su cui vorrei rivolgere
la vostra attenzione riguarda l'ammodernamento delle città in cui viviamo. mezzi di trasporto antiquati e lenti,
strade piene di buche, ingorghi, lentezza nello svolgimento dei lavori e nello smantellamento dei cantieri.
1511. Banche ed Imprese (importance: 75%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 16)
L' Europa dovrebbe impegnarsi di più per assicurare una maggiore trasparenza bancaria, le banche devono
essere più vicine al cittadino evitando che si ripetano i clamorosi episodi che hanno portato una turbolenza
finanziaria su scala planetaria. Le imprese, soprattutto le medie e le piccole necessitano di una maggiore
tutela ed in Paesi come l'Italia, dato che sono la spina dorsale economica, per aprire un'attività commerciale
bisognerebbe snellire l'apparato burocratico.
1512. gestione finanziamenti (importance: 74%, disagreement: 17, evaluations: 7)
L'Unione Europea deve attivare sistemi di controllo dei finanziamenti. Deve staccare la gestione dalla politica.

un regolare concorso pubblico europeo. Quindi, non dare i finanziamenti in gestione ai politici locali, ma la
gestione deve essere dell'Unione Europea

L'UE, sia per aiutare l'occupazione tramite il finanziamento di iniziative imprenditoriali, sia per contribuire
alla costruzione dell'idea di Europa unita e cooperante, dovrebbe finanziare i progetti presentati da ragazzi e
ragazze con un età inferiore ai 40 anni che mettano in raccordo diverse realtà europee. Finanziare l'impresa
giovanile, mirando a costruire un solido rapporto di cooperazione tra piccole o grandi realtà, imprenditoriali
o culturali, dei paesi membri, è un ottimo modo per mostrare quanto positiva ed entusiasmante sia l'idea di
Europa Unita e per, in tempo di crisi, concedere ai cittadini della UE la possibilità di realizzare i propri sogni e

1517. Informazione Finanziamenti (importance: 70%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 6)
L'Unione Europea deve obbligare i paesi a non avere una concentrazione di MASS-MEDIA in un unico

propri uffici delle proprie iniziative a favore delle imprese. Deve essa stessa affiancare i progetti per accedere
ai finanziamenti. Togliere tali informazioni dal politici locali.

1540. In ordine: unificazione giuridica e militare e politica (importance: 83%, disagreement: 18,
evaluations: 5)
Innanzitutto bisognerebbe creare un sistema e un codice giuridico che derivi dalla fusione del diritto
anglosassone e del diritto latino-bizantino. Poi si dovrebbe pensare alla creazione di un esercito comune
europeo, costituito da volontari, che abbia funzioni di difesa e di pace nelle zone politicamente strategiche
per l'europa stessa. Inoltre si dovrebbe pensare anche a una politica comune sull'ambiente, che riduca
l'effetto serra e diminuisca la temperatura globale; a quel punto si dovrebbe scegliere anche un tipo di
economia sostenibile ambientalmente(economia verde di Obama). Il passo più importante è infine costituito
dall'unificazione politica degli stati nazionali dell'UE, in una repubblica presidenziale federale sul modello
americano. Ovviamente servirebbe un parlamento per impedire al presidente di arrogarsi troppi poteri
fino a divenire un autocrate o un dittatore; comunque il parlamento dovrebbe avere le funzioni più o meno
di quello americano. Il presidente sarebbe fondamentale per una vera applicazione del programma di
governo. Importante a mio avviso sarebbe una repubblica di tipo federale per lasciare un certo margine di
autonomia alle "regioni" costituite in sostanza dai vecchi stati nazionali.Importantissima anche la creazione
e l'approvazione di una costituzione europea.Le uniche cose su cui lo stato non dovrebbe delegare, a mio
avviso, è l'istituzione e il controllo di un welfare di tipo scandinavo, l'istruzione obbligatoria e statale per tutti, le

Recentemente sono tornato per l'ennesima volta a Parigi. Non ho ancora capito cosa rappresenti un'Europa
unita nel momento che coesistono realtà socio-ambientali tanto diverse tra di loro; non ho ancora capito
come si possono definire cittadini dell'Europa sia i parigini che gli abitanti di certe città, specialmente del
sud Italia, dove la politica si occupa esclusivamente di depredare la gente..... D'altro canto, non è anche
vero che gli europarlamentari italiani "arraffano" uno stipendio vergognosamente alto?, il più alto di tutti? E
che contemporaneamente siano tra quelli che maggiormente disertano le sedute del Parlamento europeo?
Qualcuno sa spiegare alla gente del Sud Italia, in particolare, a che cosa serve un'EuropAa unita che non
sa attenzionare queste situazioni di degrado della politica Italiana nel suo insieme? A cosa serve l'azione
comunitaria? Fino ad oggi abbiamo visto d'importante soltanto l'adozione dell'€uro (Gran Bretagna,
ovviamente, esclusa!), che ha operato un rastrellamento di "ricchezza" dalle tasche del ceto medio a quelle
dei soliti furbastri. In ciò sono enormi le responsabilità morali dei politici europei: l'impoverimento di decine di
migliaia di nuclei familiari che hanno visto dimezzarsi gli stipendi. Si è creata quel tipo di società cosiddetta "a
piramide", in sostituzione della precedente detta"a uovo": pochissimi straricchi, sostenuti da apparati statali e,
con alla base, una larga presenza di cittadini divenuti oramai indigenti.

Per me l'ecoeconomia èl'unica via di salvezza per il nostro pianeta, la creazione di oasi ecologiche con
impianti fotovoltaici e, per chi come me vive a Napoli, un impianto di sfruttamento dei rifiuti per la produzione
di energia elettrica e termica e di concime per le nostre campagne, credo che sia obbiettivo primario per
l'attuale e future gestione del "governo europeo". Altro problema che per me si dovrebbe risolvere in ambito
europeo è l'iimigrazione clendestina. Non è bello, infatti, per gli italiani sentirsi chiamare razzisti, da tedeschi
olandesi per le iniziative che il nostro governo sta prendendo contro questo fenomeno. E' troppo facile
giudicare per chi non ha coste volte verso l'africa dove arrivano centinaia di migliaia di clandestini all'anno. Per
questo vorrei una T-Force contro l'immigrazione sul modello americano.

e eroina, ma leggi più permissive sulle droghe leggere, che a mio avviso, soprattutto per quanto riguarda
la canapa, possono anche essere viste come una risorsa economica da strappare alle mafie e una fonte di
risorse varie e rinnovabili, nel campo tessile o combustibile per esempio.
1553. Illegal immigration and a better future (importance: 63%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 11)
I think that the EU can do a lot more, for instance, to resolve the illegal immigration problems that are
increasing on a daily basis. The solution is not easy to find yet one has to keep in mind that we are all human
beings and we all deserve a fair treatment which safeguards our dignity. Moreover, with the economic crisis
hitting every country, I think the EU can come up with a sort of plan to assure the welfare of its own citizens. It
is unacceptable, that for example, the victims of the earthquake in Abruzzo, Italy, are still waiting for someone
to help them out. Each country should have a sound protection plan in case a natural disaster like this occurs
again.

comunque consistenti contributi di forze per le varie missioni di pace anche ben oltre le effettive possibilità
finanziarie,altri per sottolineare autonomia ed originalità in politica Le attuali strutture di comando militare
dell'EU,rappresentano un importante momento di aggregazione,ma non basta bisognerebbe puntare alla
costituzione di un unico esercito europeo,ciò consentirebbe ai singoli paesi membri di ridurre il personale
militare e quindi progressivamente le proprie spese e all'Unione di disporre di uno strumento militare efficace
in grado di assorbire le migliori capacità professionali nei vari settori specialistici delle diverse forze armate.
Inoltre si porrebbe fine una volta per tutte all'oramai insostenibile molteplicità di distinguo che caratterizzano
l'Europa tutte le volte in in cui lo scenario internazionale ripropone tensioni e situazioni di crisi che
richiederebbero unità di intenti e decisioni adeguate in tempi accettabili.Sarebbe inoltre possibile garantire ai
cittadini europei,una più equa ripartizone delle spese militari sulla base del prodotto interno lordo e sul numero
di abitanti dei rispettivi paesi.Oggi si assiste ad una dannosa competizione tra i vari stati,alcuni desiderosi di
acquisire maggiore visibilità internazionale offrono sempre e estera contribuiscono in misura sempre minore.In
sintesi bisognerebbe far si che tutti i paesi contribuiscano in ragione delle effettive capacità evitando squilibri

sono molta brava gente che a casa propria non hanno possibilità di sfamare e di garantire una vita migliore ai
propri figli. L'UE dovrebbe trovare accordi con i paesi d'origine non tanto per monitorare il flusso emigratorio
ma per garantire istruzione ed opportunità nel paese d'origine. Sarebbe bello vedere programmi di aiuto
all'istruzione europei in paesi dell'africa subsahariana. Questi programmi però non devono essere dei revival

In my opinion i think the European Comunity should approve a new and strong Immigrants-act to defend our
borders and protect all european families by immigrants who want to enter without documents and above all
without a real job. Its important to know that people accept our rules to make our lives safer. In italy parlament
is trying to approve harder laws to fight this plague but its not enough. I think the most of immigrants are good
people who wanna enjoy itself in italy and spend a good time but couse a few idiots this doesnt happen and
we used to live everyday with fear. I hope, afterwards, the European Comunity searches for a new kinds of
permissions to make our countries and borders safer.
1575. nel settore dell immigrazione (importance: 76%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 12)
Noi Europei abbiamo attraversato momenti molto difficili che abbiamo superando trovando ospitalità in diverse
parti del mondo, ecco perchè credo che ora dovremmo fare del nostro meglio per soccorrere chi si trova in
difficoltà. In particolare un atteggiamento di apertura servirebbe verso i popoli africani che cercano in noi
conforto, essendo noi stati causa della maggior parte dei loro mali. Razzismo, chiusura, etnocentrismo e
imperialismo culturale sono parole e atteggiamenti da dimenticare e sostituire con la solidarietà e la fiducia
fondate sull'idea di eguaglianza promossa dalla Dichiarazione dei diritti universali dell'uomo che l'europa
sembra aver dimenticato.
1576. Informazioni che riguardi i paesi di arigine dei emigrati. (importance: 76%, disagreement: 19,
evaluations: 8)
Sono un emigrato in Italia vivo qui da 3 anni conosco la storia Italiana ma anche la loro Lingua. La cosa che
mi fa arrabiare e che nessun telegiornale e in grado di cedere 2 minuti della loro trasmisione per le notizie
sulla Moldavia.Il 7 aprile ci sono state proteste molto violente quasi come in Vietnam ma di Vietnam se ne
parlato della Moldavia no. Mi offende il fatto perche tanti moldavi laureati che lavorano qui vorrebero sentirsi
al meno un po come a casa loro ascoltando notizie anche sull proprio paese.Poi secondo me facendo
dibatiti e guardando le sitazioni che esistono ne vari paesi poveri gli Italiani potrebbero conoscerci meglio.....
Credo che l'unione europea dovrebbero organizare diversi corsi formativi che aiutano a conoscere meglio gli
emigrati.Perche alla fine l'integrazione non aviene se il paese che ci ospita non vole o semplicemente non
ci conosce questo genera paura,insicurezza, dubbio e indifferenza. Insomma credo che atraverso diversi
filmani o spot pubblicitari creati dall unione europea si puo far in modo che le varie etnie al interno di un
paesese vivino in Armonia.

1578. Vorrei delle migliori politiche sull'immigrazione (importance: 75%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 9)
Sono profondamente convinta, che questo mondo sia già da tempo un pianeta molto piccolo e, nel limite
delle capacità di ogni stato, dovrebbero essere fatte delle poltiche sull'imigrazione migliori. Basta anche poco
a volte. Primo: L'istruzione, anche svolta in paesi esteri, dovrebbe essere riconosciuta. Se non l'università
almeno gli studi precedenti. Come si può integrare una persona e trovare un buon lavoro, se non le vengono
riconosciuti i suoi studi? Secondo: Rendere più semplice le pratiche di cittadinanza. E' assurdo che ci siano
persone che vivano da vent'anni in un posto, che non sono ancora considerati a pieno titolo cittadini di
quel paese. Terzo: Fare in modo che in tutta l'unione europea, i permessi di soggiorno vengano rinnovati
correttamente, non che un lavoratore o uno studente deve aspettare un anno il suo documento, per vederlo
poi scaduto il giorno dopo. E' disumano. Sottolinea anche che la richesta o il rinnovo di un documento non
dovrebbe costare troppi soldi, per non onerare soprattutto le famiglie numerose. Quarto: Promuovere delle
politiche d'integrazione, non solo per gli stranieri, ma anche per i cittadini del determinato paese dell'unione
europea, che spesso non conoscono e hanno molta paura delle persone che vengono da altri paesi. Quinto:
La prigione non è un posto in cui una persona senza documenti dovrebbe essere rinchiusa. Sesto: I datori di
lavoro che sfruttano i lavoratori immigrati dovrebbero essere puniti severamente.
1579. Aiutare i migranti e migliorare l'ambiente (importance: 74%, disagreement: 19, evaluations: 9)
Vivo in Italia e la mia preoccupazione più grande è l'intolleranza che dilaga nel mio paese. Il nostro governo
fa una politica di non integrazione. E' noto a tutti cosa succede in Italia quando un barcone viene intercettato.
Vengono portati a Lampedusa e costretti a vivere nei CPA (moderni lager) stivati come animali e dopo
qualche mese di fermo in quel posto vengono poi messi su un aereo e rispediti a casa. Posso capire che a
livello legislativo sia una cosa da fare, ma perchè non ingrandire il CPA di Lampedusa? perchè non possono
stazionare in un posto accogliente dove ognuno ha un posto letto e dove non devono stare in 1200 in una
struttra che invece ne deve accogliere 300? Mi chiedo se la UE può aiutare l'Italia ad affrontare questa
situazione oltre alla dilagante intolleranza che regna nel mio paese. Il mio sogno è la Francia e l'Inghiltezza
dove comunità molo diverse tra di loro riescono a vivere senza problemi. Qui le comunità sono tutte divise e
gli Italiani non c'impiegano troppo a dare sfogo al razzismo. Per l'ambiente:obbligare le nazioni ad utilizzare
fonti alternative al petrolio. Incentivare la costruzione di pannelli solari per ogni casa e l'utilizzo dell'energia
eolica per le grandi azinedi
L'Europa dovrebbe risolvere il problema dell'immigrazione clandestina mettendo controlli più severi alle
frontiere dell'Unione soprattutto ad est e facendo pattugliare il Mediterraneo con navi da guerra. Inoltre
bisognerebbe creare delle vere e proprie co-operazioni con i Paesi da cui provengono gli immigrati clandestini
e dare vita a delle politiche vere di aiuto verso i Paesi dell'Africa e dell'Asia: non comprare loro il pane ma
insegnare loro a come coltivare il grano rendendo così la vita dignitosa ai Popoli di quei Paesi dell' Africa
e dell'Asia in modo da fermare l'immigrazione. L' Europa inoltre dovrebbe essere vera Ambasciatrice di
democrazia da esportare in quelle aree del mondo dove manca.
Una politica comunitaria per combattere, arginare e regolamentare l'immigrazione clandestina, soprattutto nel
mio Paese, è avvertita da me come da tutta la popolazione. Credo che ci si stia muovendo un po' lentamente
a livello comunitario, così che si debba ancora assistere a dispute tra i governi di due stati dell'Unione (ad
esempio quello italiano e quello maltese). Urge un'integrazione dei trattati bilaterali in forze tra i vari stati
europei con i rispettivi "vicini" con un'azione unica e coordinata di tutti gli stati dell'Unione, senza tralasciare
l'importanza di un coordinamento tra le varie forze dell'ordine competenti (unificazione delle Guardie Costiere,
unificazione delle dogane e dei customs come la GdF italiana).

La presenza su tutto il territorio europeo di un organo esecutivo destinato al controllo sull'immigrazione
darebbe un aiuto ai Paesi più soggetti agli sbarchi che devono destinare parte delle proprie energie a questi
controlli. Inoltre la presenza di un tale organo garantirebbe una certa "pulizia" nell'esecuzione delle normative,
che, spesso, non vengono osservate a causa della corruzione delle istituzioni locali.

1587. Combattare L'imigrazione irregolare (importance: 70%, disagreement: 25, evaluations: 10)
So ben consapevole che l'UE sta mettendo in funzione le sue istituzione per provedere a questo problema
globale, che pur troppo si concretizza di piu' nei paesi che sono al centro del mediterraneo come il nostro
paese e l'Italia. Pero' mi rincresce che nell'UE si parla molto di come affrontare questo fenomeno pero' non
si concretizza per niente. Il fenomeno dell'imigrazione irregolare non e' solo un problema di chi come noi
l'afronta di giorno in giorno ma e' un problema che alla fine e' un peso per tutti gli Stati Membri dell'UE. La
realta' e' che questo fenomeno stia affettuando non solo la vita sociale dei cittadini di questi paesi affetti da
questo fenomeno, ma anche l'economia e il bene comune, che alla fine c'hanno un effetto, forse non diretto,
sugli altri paesi membri. Se un paese dell'UE e' economicamente e socialmente instabile allora questo avra'
un effetto globalizato sull'economia dell'UE, perche' il bilancio economico dell'UE si tragga da tutti i bilanci
degli stati membri. La legge derivata dalla COnvenzione di Dublino non aiuta paesi come il nostro, anzi ne
fa un peso piu' grande. So che momentariamente la Commisione Europea sta deliberando su una proposta
messa appunto dal PPE, che ne sospenga la funzione della Convenzione e che mete in atto il famoso 'burden
sharing', non solo a basa volontaria ma ossia a base di chi ne ha piu' bisogno. Frontex si dovrebbe utilizare

L'allargamento a est della comunità europea ha inevitabilmente aperto delle falle nel controllo della

questa piccola percentuale dobbiamo subire un notevole aumento della criminalità a causa di chi viene solo
per delinquere. Il cittadino europeo non si sente pù sicuro, non è pù tranquillo nella sua terra, vive un diagio
quotidiano. Non è una quuestione di razza ne di colore come certa stampa vuole enfatizzare, ma di legalità.

perseguire duramente i "negrieri", aiutare i paesi come l'Italia a creare un accoglienza umana e prevedere i

paesi di origine, favorendo sviluppo sul posto.

Molto spesso qui in Italia accade che pesone extracomunitarie arrivino in Italia senza documenti e permessi

togliendo agli italiani posti di lavoro che in questo periodo sono molto importanti per il buon funzionamento

evaluations: 12)
L'immigrazione e' una realta' che ha i suoi lati positivi ed i suoi lati negativi. Io la vedo piu' per il suo aspetto
positivo, forse perche' la mia famiglia ha una storia di migrazione che dura da piu' di 100 anni in maniera
tale che io abbia origini italo tedesche, sia nato in Belgio ed abbia vissuto in Lussenburgo ed in Italia (figlio
di funzionario Euratom). Il lato positivo lo vedo anche perche' ho una meravigliosa fidanzata proveniente dal
Regno del Marocco ... Continuo la tradizione, ma conosco anche i problemi di un immigrato extra-comunitario
in Europa di prima persona. Una normativa comune che rispetti i diritti di tutti sarebbe auspicabile. Adesso
ogni paese ha le sue regole e le sue ingiustizie! La lotta al razzismo dovrebbe poi divenire un imperativo
categorico. Io vedo l'Italia che sta subendo una deriva razzista (dovuta anche alla propaganda di un partito
politico) abnorme ... ogni giorno sui media si assiste al linciaggio mediatico di una immigrato per fatti di
cronaca ... sembrerebbe che in Italia la criminalita' sia tutta causata dall'immigrazione ... di questo ne soffrono
quei milioni di immigrati regolari che vivono e che lavorano in Italia e che giorno dopo giorno debbono sentire
l'ostilita' dei "padroni di casa", vengono insultati, non godono di rispetto, e sono sempre e comunque i capri
espiatori! E' gia' capitato che a cittadini italiani di colore sia stato richiesto il permesso di soggiorno durante
controlli di polizia! Questo non va!
1597. Illegal immigration and a better future (importance: 63%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 11)
I think that the EU can do a lot more, for instance, to resolve the illegal immigration problems that are
increasing on a daily basis. The solution is not easy to find yet one has to keep in mind that we are all human
beings and we all deserve a fair treatment which safeguards our dignity. Moreover, with the economic crisis
hitting every country, I think the EU can come up with a sort of plan to assure the welfare of its own citizens. It
is unacceptable, that for example, the victims of the earthquake in Abruzzo, Italy, are still waiting for someone
to help them out. Each country should have a sound protection plan in case a natural disaster like this occurs
again.

L'Unione europea come il resto del mondo occidentale è caratterizzata dalla necessità di importare mostruose
quantità di petrolio, con il quale alcune nazione possono addirittura ricattarci. Bisongna diminuire le
importazioni al minimo possibile e per quanto riguarda i trasporti, cambiare sistema: per esempio in Israele si
possono già utilizzare macchine elettriche.
1604. trasporti (importance: 87%, disagreement: 8, evaluations: 9)

1607. Trasporto pubblico (importance: 85%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 8)
Il trasporto pubblico dovrebbe essere di qualità, ecologico e funzionale in ogni paese europeo. Nuove direttive
e/o bandi appositamente studiati per migliorare la qualità del trasporto pubblico dovrebbero costringere tutti
i paesi membri a raggiungere un alto livello di efficienza; ma accanto alla costrizione, ci vorrebbe anche un
qualche aiuto economico a realizzare l'obiettivo
1608. Trasporto e mobilità (importance: 85%, disagreement: 15, evaluations: 13)
un unione europea efficente, dovrebbe permettere a ciuscun cittadino membro della stessa, di potersi
muovere liberamente alle stesse condizioni. Mi spiego meglio: io vivo in sardegna, e per poter viaggiare
per lavoro, tempo libero o altre necessità, devo necessariamente sostenere dei costi superiori ai costi
normalmente sostenuti da coloro che risiedono in realtà urbane collocate nella penisola italiana, o nel
continente europeo. Per loro, recarsi in una grande metropoli come roma o milano, per sostenere dei concorsi
o semplicemente per valutare delle proposte di lavoro ha dei cosi molto meno probanti. per noi isolani,
territorialmente svantaggiati, tutto questo è un sogno. Sarebbe auspicabile arrivare ad un costo della mobilità
pari per tutti. Un kilometro percorso su terra ferma, aria o mare dovrebbe essere uguale, per permettere a tutti
i cittadini UE di godere degli stessi privilegi.

1609. Nei trasporti pubblici, locali e non. (importance: 85%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 4)
L'unione Europea dovrebbe migliorare i trasporti sia a livello locale che a livello internazionale. Un
miglioramento dei trasporti porterebbe ad un diminuirsi nelle distanze tra i diversi stati. Credo molto nel
miglioramento del sistema ferroviario, che a parere mio dovrebbe essere portata ai migliori standard in
tutto il continente, prendendo come modello la Francia. L'ideale sarebbe creare un ente di ferrovie statali
europee che inglobi le diverse ferrovie dei singoli stati per garantire al cittadino più libertà di movimento e un
miglioramento dei servizi. Oltre al settore inter nazionale l'unione europea dovrebbe investire più capitali nel
trasporto pubblico locale in modo da garantire mezzi meno inquinanti che possano così ridurre il costo dei
consumi energetici delle aziende di trasporto metropolitano che a loro volta dovrebbero garantire agli anziani,
alle persone con redito molto basso e alle persone disocupate una tessera per viaggiare gratuitamente su tutti
i mezzi non solo all'interno della propia città ma in tutti i trasporti pubblici metropolitani dei paesi dell'unione
europea (tram, pulman, metrò... ).

Dobbiamo costruire i cittadini europei. Esistono già molte possibilità sia di studiare che di lavorare all'estero
nei paesi UE. Anche le reti di trasporto transfrontaliere contribuiscono a avvicinare i cittadini tra loro anche
socialmente. Bisogna finanziare borse di studio per viaggi all'estero e scambi culturali; finanziare progetti
di collaborazione tra università e istituzioni; stabilire premi europei per progetti di ricerca, tesi di laurea
(su materie europee) e quant'altro. Bisogna spingere all'integrazioni anche i sindacati dei lavoratori e le
associazioni di categoria. In particolare bisogna insistere sulle scuole (networks formativi e scambi tra istituti;
premi europei) dalle scuole superioriin poi. Bisogna inserire le istituzioni europee e le loro leggi nei programmi
didattici.

che molte di queste merci viaggiano su strada. Senza considerare il congestionamento della rete autostradale
e i rischi per la sicurezza, che rendono più difficile la mobilità personale. Sarebbe molto positivo per la qualità
di vita di tutti e per la tutela dell'ambiente, e probabilmente anche per l'economia, incentivare la produzione e il
consumo in loco, soprattutto per quanto riguarda i generi alimentari ma non solo, e favorire il trasferimento del
traffico merci su rotaia (come è gia stato fatto in altri paesi europei)

è gravata da molto tempo speso a spostarsi dall'abitazione al luogo di lavoro e o studio. Le politiche di
salvagurdia dell'ambiente e di risparmio energetico dovrebbero promuovere a livello locale, nazionale ed
europeo la diffusione di una molteplicità di sistemi di trasporto atti a soddisfare tutte le necessità, tenuto conto
delle peculiarità locali, che possono tuttavia assomigliarsi nelo spazio e nel tempo, così che una soluzione
adottata nel sud della Francia possa ad esempio andare neme in certe zone della Grecia o della Spagna o
dell'Italia e così via. Il confronto e l'uitlizzo di nuove tecnologie, la condivisione dei risultati della ricerca, la

paesi UE sui codici della stradain fatto di velocità e pene per chi trasgredisce con guida in stato di ebbrezza
o sotto effetto di dreghe. Nei paesi dove è possibile impianti eolici o pannelli solare per produrre energia,
un po' alla volta eliminare le centrali a petrolio! Cercare di arrivare come in U.S.A. che la moneta sia unica

A mio parere nel campo dei trasporti mancano politiche comunitarie atte all' incentivazione di trasporti
passeggeri/merci ecosostenibili e tese al far diventare più economici i mezzi di trasporto che hanno meno
impatto ambientale. Le mie proposte concrete sono: - stanziare fondi per creare o incentivare la costruzione
di infrastrutture che consentano il diventare economico, conveniente, sicuro e veloce il trasporto merci su
rotaia. - stanziare fondi per incoraggiare l' attuazione di politiche attuative che tengano conto dell' impatto
ambientale del trasporto passeggeri/merci. - stanziare fondi a sostegno di iniziative che tendono alla
modernizzazione delle infrastrutture per rendere più sicuro, più ecocompatibile e più moderno il sistema
infrastrutturale europeo. - legiferare in merito a leggi che ostacolano e frenano politiche comunitarie in materia

conoscenze alla base delll'innovazione nel campo ambientale e di tutela della cittadinanza dalle variazioni
climatiche. Miglorare l'accesso e la qualità (ed abbattere i costi) delle comunicazioni produrrebbe una minor
necessità di spostamento per lavoro ed i trasporti potrebbero essere resi più efficienti e meno inquinanti
riducendo le emissioni dei singoli cittadini. inoltre l'incentivazione della mobilità ibrida prima e dell'economia
all'idrogeno poi, abbatterebbe notevolmente il carico inquinante prodotto dai cittadini e migliorerebbe
l'ambiente.

Il sogno europeo è stato costruito sulla libertà di circolazione dei cittadini all'interno dei confini dell'unione, ma
non sempre tutti i cittadini hanno pari opportunità di poter circolare a cause delle tariffe talvolta eccessive dei
trasporti. Non tutti i territori sono coperti dai servizi di trasporto low cost, e spesso decidere di spostarsi da tali
luoghi diventa eccessivamente dispendioso. Comprendo la difficoltà, se non l'utopicità di rendere il trasporto
pubblico ma perlomeno ritengo sia doveroso che a determinate categorie sociali siano concesse agevolazioni
(studenti, pensionati ecc).
1644. Trasporti (importance: 76%, disagreement: 10, evaluations: 11)
Si cerchi di creare una serie di iniziative volte al coordinamento dei vari Stati in materia di circolazione delle
merci: in virtù dell'annessione nella Comunità di nuove realtà economiche come Slovenia, Ungheria, Polonia
verso e da cui il flusso di merci è aumentato in maniera considerevole, si creino delle piattaforme o magazzini
virtuali grazie ai quali i camion e i mezzi in generale riescano a consolidare consegne, rimanendo sempre
a pieno carico e cercando di ottimizzarei costi: si calcoli che ad oggi nella Comunità, un terzo dei viaggi via
camion viaggia a vuoto o a mezzo carico.

Credo che l' Unione Europea dovrebbe facilitare ulteriormente gli scambi culturali tra i giovani, armonizzare

lavoro, negli altri paesi dell'Unione. In sostanza credo che oltre a produrre regole e normative economiche e
giuridiche, sia necessario sforzarsi di creare gli Europei . Penso che per aumentare lo spirito d'appartenenza
sia necessario impegnarsi per avere una politica estera unanime, un unica difesa ed un unico modo di
intendere la sicurezza e la giustizia.

In Europa la ricerca scientifica e' cenerentola. In certi paesi piu' che in altri. Il "lagging behind" del Processo di
Lisbona lo dimostra ampiamente. In aggiunta le organizzazioni scientifiche dei paesi si parlano pochissimo.
Negli USA abbiamo una ricerca USA, in Europa abbiamo una ricerca Italiana, Tedesca, Inglese, ecc. Gli
sforzi Europei sono enormi, ma la "resistenza" all'innovazione pure! Fare agenzie non basta! In aggiunta a
cio' vediamo in diversi paesi diversi trattamenti dei ricercatori: in alcuni si hanno meritocrazia e trattamento
finanziario/contrattuale equo. In altri (tipo in Italia ove vivo) si hanno "baronie" e precariato: un ricercatore
francese a 30 anni ha un contratto di lavoro pagato bene, in Italia un ricercatore quarantenne ha una borsa
di studio coma quando aveva 25 anni ed e' pagato quanto un commesso di supermercato part-time! I
ricercatori se ne vanno. La ricerca e' fndamentale per l'Europa. Alcuni paesi eccellono, alcuni no. Altro caso
per il principio di sussidiarieta': un sistema unico in tutta l'Europa per gestione, contratti, nomine, ecc. in
questo settore strategico. Non e' possibile che una cosa vitale per lo sviluppo come la ricerca venga trattata
in maniera totalmente differenziata: con la carta dei diritti e doveri del ricercatore qualcosa si e' fatto ... ma la
carta e' solo una carta ... la realta' e' molto piu' dura! Il ricercatore in italia non e' uno scienziato, ma un caso
sociale ... e' un povero altamente qualificato!

La considero a tutti gli effetti parte della mia vita quotidiana. Vivere in un'Unione Europea forte sul piano
internazionale mi fa sentire più sicuro e più integrato con gli altri cittadini dell'Unione. Ad una politica estera
comune deve corrispondere una politica militare comune con l'organizzazione di forze armate europee
che siano un valore aggiunto e non in contrasto con la NATO. L'ottima presidenza Sarkozy durante la crisi
georgiana ha messo in risalto il peso politico di un'Unione realmente coesa, ma ho l'impressione che la
mancata ratifica del Trattato di Lisbona abbia ridotto un'azione comune dei 27 ad un favore reciproco piuttosto
che ad una procedura comune e obbligatoria.
1678. La politica estera (importance: 75%, disagreement: 13, evaluations: 17)
Since we entered the european comunity, i've never seen the euroepan comunity to take a decision

war on terror in afghanistan. I think we should have our army and navy, because people wants to know our
politicians take care of our security everywhere. In the last days i realized that the European comuity did
nothing to protect our ships or boats by pirates in africa and it was a pain because we could give a strong
signal to them.

La crisi recente, ha messo sotto pressione le economie di tutti i paesi dell'unione. Per ora Credo servirà
lavorare sull'identità dell'Europa e sulla voglia dei propri cittadini di divenire un unico stato. La questione
identitaria è un tema molto ampio e impossibile da trattare in poche righe, ma credo che uno dei temi
fondamentali sia la capacità di riconoscere le "radici" dell'Europa non solo in generici valori umani e
democratici ma anche in un patrimonio di valori "religiosi" da far risalire al cristianesimo. Per quanto riguarda
il fisco l'unione si fonda solo su una zona di libero commercio e sull'unione monetaria, e su un allineamento
fiscale basato su Maastricht. Ma con una crisi come quella che stiamo vivendo le politiche fiscali non allineate
e costi differenziati dei debiti pubblici rischiano di creare fortissime pressioni sulle economie dei paesi
più deboli e, in ultima istanza, di demolire anche la stessa unione monetaria. E' necessario che l'europa
trovi la forza di fondere anche la politica fiscale. Non sono d'accordo con chi dice che questo tenderà a
deresponsabilizzare i singoli paesi creando più debito perchè ci sono molti meccanismi che sono utilizzabili
per evitare questa tendenza alla deresponsabilizzazione. Infine credo sia necessario che l'Europa parli con
una sola voce. La politica estera deve essere una sola soprattuto oggi che è serve riscrivere le regole della
finanza globale. Avere solo l'Europa al tavolo del G20 semplificherebbe molto il

Israele, costola d'europa, deve entrare nella UE. le sue istituzioni democratiche ed il suo popolo sono
minacciate di un nuovo olocausto questa volta nucleare. l'europa che sa bene qual'è il pericolo reale
delle minacce che vengono continuamente lanciate, deve inserire Israele nella sua compagine, anche
contestualmente alla Turchia, per isolare l'integralismo islamico e lo sprofondamento in un nuovo medioevo.
Solo così le radici culturali e storiche di cui si parla avranno il giusto riconoscimento perchè lo Stato d'Israele
è la nazione che per secoli hanno desiderato legittimamente milioni di CITTADINI EUROPEI, di religione
ebraica, traditi dall'Europa e trucidati dai nazisti. E' una scheggia di occidente che condivide valori e sentimenti
assolutamente europei e va accolta e protetta in seno alla UE.

E' chiaramente penalizzante per i paesi che hanno particolarità nella produzione alimentare l'obbligo a

molto meno ampia e molto meno specifica. Penso che sia opportuno che vadano garantite le razze animali,
le specie vegetali, i modi di produzione e tutto quanto rende diverso e apprezzato un prodotto locale da uno
indifferenziato e industriale. Penso in particolare a razze suine e bovine pregiate spesso penalizzate perché
non sono altrettanto produttive rispetto a razze non autoctone e sul quale non si è evoluto il prodotto. Infine
ritengo sia da IMPEDIRE il più possibile l'utilizzo industriale di OGM in quanto vincolanti per il produttore,
inutili e dannosi in particolare in un regime di sovrapproduzione quale quello della nostra economia. Non

w większym stopniu. Rozbudowa dróg tranzytowych przez Polskę, w celu przesunięcia głównych tras poza
tereny zamieszkane. Rozwój rynku pracy poprzez inwestycje oraz poszerzenie liczby państw, w których nie
ma ograniczeń dotyczących podjęcia pracy. Edukacja nastawiona przede wszystkim na nowe technologie, IT.

10. zatrudnienie, opieka zdrowotna oraz ochrona środowiska (importance: 82%, disagreement: 12,

Największe znaczenie ma dla mnie bezpieczeństwo zatrudnienia. Po skończeniu studiów chciałabym
móc mieć możliwość zatrudnienia w moim zawodzie oraz otrzymywać za swoja pracę wynagrodzenie,
które zapewni mi godny poziom życia. Jednocześnie chciałabym mieć możliwość dalszego uczenia się
i dostosowywania swoich kwalifikacji do zmieniającej się sytuacji gospodarczej i oczekiwań rynku pracy.
Moim zdaniem bardzo ważna sprawa jest zapewnienie obywatelom w Polsce opieki zdrowotnej na wysokim
poziomie. Pomimo że polscy lekarze są dobrymi specjalistami, to ze względu na brak środków finansowych
szpitale w Polsce nie są w stanie zapewnić wszystkim pacjentom odpowiedniej opieki. Następnym
zasadniczym zagadnieniem jest ochrona środowiska naturalnego w Polsce. Myślę, że najważniejsze jest
zapewnienie akcji promocyjnych i edukacyjnych w tej sprawie. Polacy często nie wiedzą jak niewiele trzeba
robić, żeby zaoszczędzić energię lub nie marnować wody we własnym domu. Poza tym widzę tu duże pole do
popisu dla naukowców oraz rządu, którzy razem powinni opracowywać plan zapobiegania zanieczyszczeniom
oraz oszczędzania energii, m. in. wykorzystując alternatywne środki energii takie jak: energia słoneczna czy
wodna.

Wielu spośród najzdolniejszych Europejczyków wyjeżdża na studia lub do pracy naukowej poza Europę,
np. do USA. Czas podjąć działania na poziomie Europejskim by nasze uczelnie oferowały studentom i
pracownikom naukowym takie same lub lepsze szanse rozwoju jak uczelnie amerykańskie. Myślę, że UE
może wiele zdziałać w tej dziedzinie, z jednej strony bezpośrednio wspierając tworzenie i rozwój autentycznej
paneuropejskiej współpracy naukowej, z drugiej tworząc zachęty dla przedsiębiorstw, by więcej środków
wydawały na badania i rozwój. Wymiana studencka to moim zdaniem za mało, uczelnie z różnych krajów
powinny współpracować coraz bliżej, a pracownicy naukowi działać w międzynarodowych zespołach - to
wszystko już się dzieje, ale można na pewno zrobić znacznie więcej. Wreszcie, należy wspierać publikowanie
prac naukowych w uniwersalnym języku współczesnej nauki - języku angielskim - w tych krajach gdzie
obowiązuje inny język urzędowy. Jak długo środowiska naukowe w krajach członkowskich będą publikować
ogromną większość efektów swej pracy w językach krajowych, tak długo pozostaną w dużym stopniu
odizolowane od siebie, co nie sprzyja innowacyjności i efektywności. Oczywiście należy też wspierać
tłumaczenie tekstów naukowych na wszelkie możliwe języki, by ułatwić do nich dostęp.

Wolny rynek to optymalna forma organizacji społeczeństwa, oparta na wyborze, dobrowolnych umowach oraz

gospodarki, w tym szkolnictwa i służby zdrowia.

Edukacja - bo to daje szansę każdemu na rozwój, społeczny awans i godne życie. Rodzina - bo dla wielu
ludzi jest ona podstawą egzystencji, jej założenie, utrzymanie jest najważniejsze. Rynek pracy - oczywiście
chodzi mi o swobodę w zatrudnieniu na terenie całej UE. Powinno również nastąpić wyrównanie płac przy
jednoczesnym wyrówananiu cen. Waluta - Euro to dobre rozwiązanie, obawiam się tylko, na jakich zasadach
będzie wprowadzane w krajach tego typu, co Polska. Zrozumienie - mam na myśli konglomerat kultur i
światopoglądów, który miesza się na terytorium Europy. Trzeba działać na rzecz zrozumienia i akceptacji
inności i jednocześnie wypracować poszanowanie dla wartości, które będą świadczyły o "europejskości"
Europy.

Jako konsument obserwuję utrudnianie przez UE pozaunijnym krajom dostarczania swoich produktów na
rynki europejskie. Tłumaczy się to różnie, najczęściej ochroną europejskich miejsc pracy. Tymczasem w
rzeczywistości jest to skutek protekcyjnych żądań różnych grup nacisku (rolników, producentów itd.). Skutkiem
tego Europejczycy mają dostęp wyłącznie do towarów drogich i siła nabywcza przeciętnej pensji przeciętnego
Europejczyka jest niższa niż Amerykanina, albo Japończyka, mimo iż zarabia tyle samo, lub nawet więcej
niż tamci. Ponadto protekcjonizm rozleniwia producentów, przez co Europa coraz mniej znaczy jako miejsce
powstawania nowych technologi, i ma coraz mniejszy wpływ na kierunek rozwoju cywilizacyjnego na świecie.
Europa powinna włączać się w ten światowy wyścig, zamiast się zamykać. Gdyby Chińczykom nie utrudniano
dostępu do rynków europejskich, europejscy producenci byliby zmuszeni do obniżania cen i podnoszenia
jakości swoich towarów, na czym zyskałbym ja, jako konsument i Europa, jako liczące się miejsce w
światowym wyścigu gospodarczym.

Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne jest ważnym czynnikiem, o który powinna zadbać Unia. Myślę zarówno o
pobieraniu surowców energetycznych z różnych kraj, jak i o szukaniu i propagowaniu alternatywnych źródeł
energii np. elektrowni wodnych czy wiatrowych. Pozyskiwanie energii z takich źródeł wiąże się z kolejnym
ważnym moim zdaniem zagadnieniem, a mianowicie z ochroną środowiska naturalnego. Unia dużo większą
uwagę powinna skupić na jego ochronie, nie trzeba chyba pisać dlaczego. Powinniśmy pamiętać, że w
czystym i zdrowym świeci lepiej się żyje i że po nas będą następni, dla których też powinniśmy dbać o ten

studiowanie. Wprawdzie to państwa indywidualnie kształtują swoją politykę edukacyjną, jednakże razem -
starają się ustalić wspólne cele. Myślę, że ta kwestia w Unii jest jedynie muśnięta.Np. podjęcie stażu w której
kolwiek placówce rządowej przy Ue wymaga samodzielnego utrzymania, co dla przeciętnego studenta nie
jest dostępne od zaraz. Tak więc nie jest to żadną nowością, iż pieniądze ograniczają rozwój. piękne hasło,

szkołach, wspieranie wymian i inicjatyw uczniowskich, większa mobilność studentów. Dostępność grantów
badawczych. To wszystko sprawi, że młodzi ludzie w Europie będą w stanie wykorzystać szanse, które stawia

podjęcia, może niekoniecznie wymarzonej, ale dobrej pracy (a nie zmywanie naczyń w UK z tytułem
polskiego magistra). Z tego co mi wiadomo, bardzo trudno jest dostać posadę, gdy nie ma się doświadczenia
zawodowego. Tylko gdzie w takim razie ktoś kto nigdy nie pracował, może takie doświadczenie zdobyć?
Promocja "świeżej krwi" mogłaby przynieść i mi korzyści. Dobrze mieć możliwość odbycia stażu i praktyk

Jestem studentką, więc najważniejszy dla mnie w tym momencie jest dostęp do programów poszerzających

również możliwość wyjazdów w kraju jak i zagranicą, a niestety w wiele miejsc jest bardzo ciężko się dostać
ze względu na brak odpowiednich dróg i środków komunikacji. Optymalnym połączeniem tych rzeczy
byłyby studia w innym kraju, ale jest to kosztowne, więc uważam, że Unia powinna więcej uwagi poświęcić
stwarzaniu programów pomagających młodym ludziom na rozwijanie ich pasji i spełnianiu dzięki temu swoich
planów życiowych. Co do ochrony zdrowia, to uważam, że Unia powinna dużo większą wagę przywiązywać
do programów profilaktycznych. Osobiście odczuwam brak takich właśnie programów, choroba wcześnie
wykryta jest zawsze łatwiejsza w leczeniu. Poza tym brakuje nam odpowiedniego sprzętu, wielokrotnie
czekanie w kolejce na badanie może odebrać szanse na wyleczenie z poważnych chorób, a tak nie powinno
być. Ostatnią dziedziną, którą wymieniłam jest sport. Chodzi mi o budowę obiektów sportowych i dzięki temu
szerszy dostęp, szczególnie młodzieży, do sportu. Pochodzę z małego miasteczka i doskonale wiem ile

12)
Fundusze europejskie wskutek korupcji (Polska, Szczecin, AM) są często narzędziem dyskryminacji jak
np. w moim przypadku tzn. w miejscu w którym pracuję, przetargi są ustawione, a osoby którym się to
niepodoba są odsuwane. Korupcja powoduje, że fundusze EU często nie są wydatkowane na realne potrzeby,
ale na pozornie potrzebne projekty, służąc w ten sposób wąskiej grupie, która zawłaszcza sobie prawo
bycia ekspertami. Generalnie brak jest wnikliwej kontroli przyznawania i wydatkowania. Jest tylko piękna
papierologia. REalne prawa ... w zasadzie można stwierdzić, że są to prawa gwarantowane Kartą Praw
POdstawowych, ale prawa z których można skorzystać. Polska nie przyjęła Karty ... trzeba po prostu zmusić
przekrętasów: przyjmijcie Kartę albo nie dostaniecie pieniędzy. Realne pawa to także efektywny system
sądowniczy. W Polsce dochodzenie swoich racji na drodze sądowej jest ograniczone wysokimi w stosunku do
przeciętnych zarobków opłatami sądowymi oraz niewydolnym i skorumpowanym systemem. Nie ma swobody
wyboru prawników, gdyż korporacje prawnicze skutecznie ograniczają dostęp osobom z tzw. ulicy (w polskiej
nomenklaturze są to osoby, które nie są niczyimi znajomymi tzn. bardziej inteligentne). Jeśli chodzi o polskie
sądy to mam spore doświadczenie i to co się tam wyprawia jest skandaliczne. Zasada równości stron w
postępowaniu, rozpatrywanie argumentów, a nie pozycji osób to dla sądu pojęcia abstrakcyjne.

Własność jest tu rozumiana jako ogół dóbr wytworzonych przez człowieka, jak również tych uzyskanych na

ma nieograniczone prawo do dysponowania swoją własnością.
81. polityka zagraniczna (importance: 79%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
To, co dzieje się obecnie na świecie ma dla mnie ogromne znaczenie. Wszelkie konflikty wzbudzają mój
niepokój. Kraje UE powinny solidarnie odpowiadać na łamanie praw człowieka, narodów. Unia Europejska
to dla mnie wielki projekt mający duże znaczenie tak w krajach członkowiskich jak i na świecie. Nie
powinniśmy zmarnować potencjału UE.Interesy pojedynczych krajów nie powinny być przeszkodą dla obrony
fundamentalnych wartości.
82. dobrobyt,bezpiczenstwo,zdrowie,kultura,religia,nauka (importance: 79%, disagreement: 15,
evaluations: 9)
Priorytety Unii Europejskiej są zarówno geograficzne, jak i tematyczne. Ważne pozostają nie tylko
dotychczasowe, ale i te „narzucane obecnie przez globalizację”. Do tematycznych należą m.in. takie tematy
jak: bezpieczeństwo energetyczne, migracje i prawa człowieka.Do geograficznych natomiast: polityka
rozszerzenia, sąsiedztwa, stosunki transatlantyckie. 1. Zobligować Unię Europejską do zwiększenia funduszy
celowych dla regionów o słabszej infrastrukturze w celu stworzenia możliwości budowy sieci linii drogowych,
kolejowych i wodnych, spełniających wymagania gospodarcze obecnej i przyszłej Unii Europejskiej. Od
władz krajowych oczekujemy uproszczenia przepisów i przyspieszenia procedur wywłaszczeniowych i
przetargowych. 2. Unia Europejska powinna prowadzić wspólną politykę energetyczną zapewniającą
bezpieczeństwo energetyczne członkom Unii poprzez stworzenie transeuropejskiej sieci energetycznej,
zwiększenie nakładów na produkcję energii odnawialnej i na poszukiwanie innowacyjnych technologii
oraz dywersyfikację dostaw gazu i innych rodzajów energii. 3. Unia Europejska, we współpracy
z rządami oraz samorządami, powinna dążyć do skuteczniejszego zwalczania bezrobocia poprzez: •
efektywne kształcenie dopasowane do potrzeb rynku pracy • wspieranie i promocję małych i średnich
przedsiębiorstw poprzez przyjazne przepisy i ulgi zachęcające do tworzenia miejsc pracy • u
83. wolność, własność, bankowość (importance: 78%, disagreement: 20, evaluations: 20)
Unia Europejska powinna skupić się na ochronie wypracowanej przez człowieka własności. Prawo chroniące
własność i wolność decydowania o swojej własności powinno być priorytetem. Już C.G. Jung przestrzegał nas
przed utratą indywidualizmu, która prowadzi do tego, że ludzie wolą nie pracować, gdy wiedzą, że nie mogą w
ten sposób odróżnić siebie od otoczenia. Wolność dysponowania własnością oznacza szacunek dla ludzkiej
pracy. Banki są uprzywilejowanymi instytucjami, które mogą udzielać kredytów używając pieniędzy dopiero
mających powstać. Należy zapewnić sprawiedliwość w tym zakresie, to znaczy umożliwić takie udzielanie
kredytów wszystkim, albo nikomu. Nie powinno być tak, aby instytucja wyceniała wartość pracy. Przez to
niektóre gałęzie gospodarki są na uprzywilejowanej pozycji, np. rynek mieszkań. Obywatele nie posiadający
tytułu własności mieszkania powinni być do czasu jego uzyskania zwolnieni ze wszystkich podatków,
ponieważ żeby się czymś dzielić, należy samemu mieć czegoś w nadmiarze.

Należy podjąć działania na rzecz takiego dostosowania prawa autorskiego, które zaspokajając słuszne
interesy twórców pozwoli na powszechny dostęp do zbiorów bibliotecznych przez Internet. UE może tu pomóc

Prawo autorskie niewiele się zmieniło przez ostatnie lata, tymczasem rzeczywistość zmieniła się diametralnie.
Zamiast w nieskończoność wydłużać okresy ochronne czy ścigać i karać osoby za drobne naruszenia,
należy zastanowić się w ramach UE nad daleko idącymi reformami prawa autorskiego, które na nowo
odnajdą równowagę pomiędzy interesami producentów dzieł (czyli twórców) a interesami konsumentów (czyli
czytelników, słuchaczy czy widzów). W tym miejscu warto też pomyśleć o rozwiązaniu problemu sprzedaży

posiada niezrównany w skali światowej potencjał gospodarczy i polityczny. Znajduje się w światowej
czołówce jeśli chodzi o rozwój technologiczny i społeczny, a jednocześnie posiada niemal 2x liczniejszą
ludność niż przewodzące obecnie światu USA. Z takim potencjałem, Unia mogłaby stać się organizmem
promieniującym dobrobytem i stabilnością, zarówno wewnątrz swoich granic, jak i na cały świat. W pełni
zjednoczona Unia - ze wspólnym oficjalnym językiem, ze scentralizowanymi władzami, prawodawstwem,

Jestem studentką, więc najważniejszy dla mnie w tym momencie jest dostęp do programów poszerzających
moje umiejętności i pozwalających mi na samodoskonalenie. Kocham podróże, więc liczy się dla mnie
również możliwość wyjazdów w kraju jak i zagranicą, a niestety w wiele miejsc jest bardzo ciężko się dostać
ze względu na brak odpowiednich dróg i środków komunikacji. Optymalnym połączeniem tych rzeczy
byłyby studia w innym kraju, ale jest to kosztowne, więc uważam, że Unia powinna więcej uwagi poświęcić
stwarzaniu programów pomagających młodym ludziom na rozwijanie ich pasji i spełnianiu dzięki temu swoich
planów życiowych. Co do ochrony zdrowia, to uważam, że Unia powinna dużo większą wagę przywiązywać
do programów profilaktycznych. Osobiście odczuwam brak takich właśnie programów, choroba wcześnie
wykryta jest zawsze łatwiejsza w leczeniu. Poza tym brakuje nam odpowiedniego sprzętu, wielokrotnie
czekanie w kolejce na badanie może odebrać szanse na wyleczenie z poważnych chorób, a tak nie powinno
być. Ostatnią dziedziną, którą wymieniłam jest sport. Chodzi mi o budowę obiektów sportowych i dzięki temu
szerszy dostęp, szczególnie młodzieży, do sportu. Pochodzę z małego miasteczka i doskonale wiem ile
wysiłku wymaga uprawianie jakiegoś sportu z dala od miejsc do tego przygotowanych.

społeczeństwie. Im łatwiej będzie można wybierać między alternatywnymi opcjami, tym więcej czasu
będzie można poświęcić na zajęcie się kwestiami istotnymi dla funkcjonowania konkretnego podmiotu -
przedsiębiorstwa czy osoby. Należy postawić na innowacje, a UE powinna dać możliwość prostego dostępu
do zarówno tanich i prostych technologii, ale również tych bardziej ekologicznych i czystych. Wszystko zależy

...bez ograniczeń wieku,sprawności i pochodzenia etnicznego.Ubezpieczenie i emerytura europejska,czyli
można uściśnic,że budżety narodowe,ale emerytury europejskie.Energetyka atomowa bez limitów...tak
dużo elektrowni by energia była darmo i na sprzedaż ha ha -do Rosji lub krajów arabskich(kiedy skończy
im się paliwo kopalne).Medycyna również jako wolontariat w dużo większym zakresie obowiązków- nie tylko
opieka,ale na przykład badania okresowe,szczepienia i zapobieganie ,oraz leczenie z chorów cywilizacyjnych
jak palenie papierosów,otyłośc,depresje.

153. Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne i ochrona środowiska (importance: 71%, disagreement: 25,
evaluations: 9)
Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne jest ważnym czynnikiem, o który powinna zadbać Unia. Myślę zarówno o
pobieraniu surowców energetycznych z różnych kraj, jak i o szukaniu i propagowaniu alternatywnych źródeł
energii np. elektrowni wodnych czy wiatrowych. Pozyskiwanie energii z takich źródeł wiąże się z kolejnym
ważnym moim zdaniem zagadnieniem, a mianowicie z ochroną środowiska naturalnego. Unia dużo większą
uwagę powinna skupić na jego ochronie, nie trzeba chyba pisać dlaczego. Powinniśmy pamiętać, że w
czystym i zdrowym świeci lepiej się żyje i że po nas będą następni, dla których też powinniśmy dbać o ten
świat. W warunkach domowych bardzo pomogłoby rozpropagowania segregacji śmieci.

Rozszerzenie strefy euro o Polskę bardzo ułatwi podróżowanie i zapewni bezpieczne położenie

Własność jest tu rozumiana jako ogół dóbr wytworzonych przez człowieka, jak również tych uzyskanych na
drodze podarunku lub dobrowolnej wymiany. Zapewnienie, że każdy posiadacz danego dobra (i jedynie on)
ma nieograniczone prawo do dysponowania swoją własnością.

Takie zjawiska jak prostytucja, posiadanie i używanie narkotyków czy gry hazardowe nie powinny być karane,
lecz podlegać zasadom wolnego rynku; w myśl tej zasady niedopuszczalne są też jakiekolwiek formy cenzury
– wolność słowa powinna być nieograniczona.

172. polityka zagraniczna (importance: 79%, disagreement: 11, evaluations: 10)
To, co dzieje się obecnie na świecie ma dla mnie ogromne znaczenie. Wszelkie konflikty wzbudzają mój
niepokój. Kraje UE powinny solidarnie odpowiadać na łamanie praw człowieka, narodów. Unia Europejska
to dla mnie wielki projekt mający duże znaczenie tak w krajach członkowiskich jak i na świecie. Nie
powinniśmy zmarnować potencjału UE.Interesy pojedynczych krajów nie powinny być przeszkodą dla obrony
fundamentalnych wartości.
173. Bezpieczeństwo oraz polityka zagraniczna. (importance: 78%, disagreement: 12, evaluations: 11)
Rozumiane zarówno jako bezpieczeństwo militarne (wojsko) oraz bezpieczeństwo gospodarcze (prawo i jego
egzekwowanie). Uważam że europa nie wykorzystuje swojego potencjału by stać się znaczącym głosem w
polityce międzynarodowej.

174. otwarcie gospodarcze na świat (importance: 74%, disagreement: 23, evaluations: 17)
Jako konsument obserwuję utrudnianie przez UE pozaunijnym krajom dostarczania swoich produktów na
rynki europejskie. Tłumaczy się to różnie, najczęściej ochroną europejskich miejsc pracy. Tymczasem w
rzeczywistości jest to skutek protekcyjnych żądań różnych grup nacisku (rolników, producentów itd.). Skutkiem
tego Europejczycy mają dostęp wyłącznie do towarów drogich i siła nabywcza przeciętnej pensji przeciętnego
Europejczyka jest niższa niż Amerykanina, albo Japończyka, mimo iż zarabia tyle samo, lub nawet więcej
niż tamci. Ponadto protekcjonizm rozleniwia producentów, przez co Europa coraz mniej znaczy jako miejsce
powstawania nowych technologi, i ma coraz mniejszy wpływ na kierunek rozwoju cywilizacyjnego na świecie.
Europa powinna włączać się w ten światowy wyścig, zamiast się zamykać. Gdyby Chińczykom nie utrudniano
dostępu do rynków europejskich, europejscy producenci byliby zmuszeni do obniżania cen i podnoszenia
jakości swoich towarów, na czym zyskałbym ja, jako konsument i Europa, jako liczące się miejsce w
światowym wyścigu gospodarczym.
