New European Union website to 'shatter myths' - by Jon Land
A new website providing 'straightforward, factual and accessible information' on the European Union was launched today by the British Minister for Europe Douglas Alexander. The site is launched as initial findings from a Eurobarometer poll reveal as many as 60% of the public would like to have more information about the EU. Minister for Europe Douglas Alexander said: "I hope that this new website will not only help meet the public's desire for more information about the EU but will encourage and stimulate public debate on Europe.The EU has brought many benefits to the United Kingdom, but there are many myths too. This website is one resource in helping to cut through those myths, so that people can see the facts for themselves and make up their own minds on the benefits the European Union brings to the UK."
The new website can be found at http://www.europe.gov.uk and will be both a valuable resource on UK EU policy and the debate on the future direction of the EU.
