fuck the EU! how on earth is that vote going to represent different countries?

soviet union all over again...

[megamarsvin]

15 million euros would be a drop in the ocean. It sounds like a lot of money but for the entire EU it's a tiny tiny amount.

Just more anti-EU scare mongering.

[abysss24]

Believe me it's a wiser thing to spend money on!

[abysss24]

If they gave those 15 million eur. for the ones that remained hurt by the crysis, they would do an infinitely better thing, than just throw them right in the toilet and flush, as they apparently did!

NO to EU!

[QwartoBlogspotCom]

We spend more money on chewing gum that in the elections

[Ackreti]

I hope they wont spend these money on britain. it would be waste of money. xenophobic, pro-us anti-eu media already established fear agenda in UK - its not really hard to wake a fear in people's hearts.

Say no to EU. Say no to muslim immigration, to terrorists, to high taxes, to Pope, to irish catholic terrorists, to abortions, to global warming caused by EU, etc

pretty easy.

[KnowingMeKnowingUrUp]

I'm really shocked. I can't believe the EU is only putting in 15 million to this campaign.

It doesn't show the commitment it really needs to be making to ensuring all of the citizens in each member state get to hear anbout the elections.

As for the campaign itself, what is the communications agency doing to publicise this multimedia site? And relying on T.V channels to volunteer advertising space in order to 'get in on the fun' is this a joke?

[Arbitrary242]

I have seen ZERO publicity in Britain. They need to do way more in my opinion.

15 million Euros isn't a huge amount to spend. Less than the cost of a Eurofighter's wing...lol.
