Abstract

The role that the European information and communication policy plays in the democratic development of the European Union is analyzed. The studied period includes the years that run between the signature of the Treaty on European Union (1992) —which makes official the obligatory nature of informative transparency in the EU administration— and the present period, threshold of the greatest expansion process of the Union. The gap between theory and the different digital mechanisms developed by the European administration is underlined. Also, the different statistics elaborated by the EU websites on citizens’ searchers are studied with the purpose of hefting the level of success or failure of the initiatives regarding e-information, e-documentation and e-communication. The conclusions demonstrate how the European Information and Communication Policy is contributing, with no doubt, to the knowledge, consolidation and democratization of the European Union
