However, I would particularly like to remind you that the Prince programme was initiated by Parliament through budgetary intervention in 1996 with the clear aim of financing information campaigns on priority issues for the EU. This was to take place at interinstitutional level, as at that time we were convinced, as we are now, that this would ensure that the available funding would be spent as effectively as possible.
Men jeg vil også gerne eksplicit minde om, at Prince-programmet blev indført af Parlamentet som led i budgetproceduren 1996 med et klart sigte på finansiering af informationskampagner om prioriterede emner for Den Europæiske Union, og det interinstitutionelt, fordi vi dengang og også nu er og var overbeviste om, at de midler, der er stillet til rådighed, bliver givet mest effektivt ud på denne måde.
