El Mundo has a news feature on plans agreed last Friday to promote the European Union through a network of European television to encourage and distribute programmes related to the EU - in an attempt to create a European public space and reverse widespread public apathy towards the activities of Brussels institutions.  The article notes that the EU generates 70% of the legislation that affects the daily lives of its citizens.  It reports that the EU Directorate General for Communications spends 81 million euros on 'information' spreading activities and has 665 people directly involved in communication roles. This is reinforced by personnel in EU member states - in the case of Spain, 50 people work in Barcelona and Madrid.
