"'Citizen friendly' MEPs to unveil new website

The European Parliament is to unveil a revamped new-look website in bid to grab the attention of apathetic EU citizens.

Low voter turnout in European elections and constitution rejections in stalwart EU founders France and Netherlands have alarmed the parliament.

MEPs, like other EU institutions, are concerned and seeking new methods to tackle popular disengagement from or opposition to Brussels.

The website will be officially launched by European Parliament President Josep Borrell at a special press conference in Brussels on September 13.

Billed as a 'dynamic and modern information tool', the new parliament portal will have five sections in 20 languages, including 'citizen friendly' news stories for different member states."
