If there were less of an ivory tower mentality in the hemicycles and more interaction with ordinary citizens; if more time was spent amongst them; if there were not so many debates between experts and institutional specialists and institutional debates were to take place rather as a result of tackling actual problems, then Europe would draw much closer to its citizens.
Si l'on portait moins les débats dans les hémicycles et davantage parmi les citoyens, si on passait plus de temps parmi les citoyens, si on menait moins de débats d'experts et de spécialistes institutionnels et moins de débats institutionnels et si on adoptait une approche plus concrète des problèmes, l'Europe serait plus proche des citoyens.
