'It's Your Choice!' - The European Parliament launches the European Elections Campaign
The European Parliament today launched its communication campaign aimed at encouraging 375 million European voters to participate in the European Elections, which will be held in 27 Member States in June 2009. The choice facing European citizens is the main message of the institutional campaign. The European Parliament, in fact, is asking citizens questions such as: "How open should our borders be? What kind of energy do we need? How can we find a balance between family and work?" The answers, which will be given by citizens, place an emphasis on the fact that by voting in the European Elections the people will decide the direction which Europe will take in the years to come.
The European Parliament is offering paid traineeships for a five-month period to persons with disabilities, as a positive action measure aimed at facilitating the integration of disabled people in the workplace.
