On 29 June 2007, the European Commission launched EuTube, a new thematic channel on YouTube. This innovative tool aims to inform people on the activities of the European Union through video clips that illustrate the main issues facing citizens from across the 27 Member States.
This project called “Sharing the sights and the sounds of Europe on YouTube” promotes the European Union initiatives, policies and goals related to themes such as immigration, climate changes or energetic policies.
Currently, users can watch approximately 50 video clips on a wide range of topics. Among the most interesting there are some short animated cartoon such as “Everyone can Save the Planet”, “And if Europe didn’t exist” and a Galileo project documentary.
Most of the content is in English, but French and German languages clips are also being added.
Margot Wallström, Vice- President for Institutional Relations and Communication Strategy, said “It is very important for the Commission to use all the means at its disposal when it comes to communicating with European citizens. We can not ignore the developments which have taken place on the Internet in the past few years, in particular the popularity of video sharing sites such as You Tube”.
