MEP`s had allotted a total of £80,000 for the campaign in the UK to spread “information” about the EU Constitution

A spokesman for the European Parliament said the campaign was concerned with spreading information on the “main aspects of the constitution”. “We will explain to the public how the constitution will benefit them in their every day lives.”

MEP`s believe they have a right to disseminate their views because the European Parliament has voted in favour of the EU constitution.

The UK Local Government in Westminster says it has already rejected any cash which could be seen as “pro-constitution propaganda”. But obviously because it is only the local government, its wishes will not be considered important by the real government in Brussels.

Considering there is an agenda within the European Parliament to get people to vote for the constitution it will be interesting to see the spin these MEP`s put on their “information”, they will evidently tailor their message to each state, so we need to be alert to other campaigns claims, as in some states many oppose the constitution because they do not feel it goes far enough.
