Polityka informacyjna Komisji Europejskiej w latach 2010-2014
The European Commission’s Information Policy in 2010–2014

Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the information policy conducting by the European Commission in 2010–2014. In examined period the European Union faced the Eurozone crisis and substantial drop in trust in itself and its institutions. The paper looks for answers a question „in which way the European Commission information policy has coped with these two prob- lems”. In order to find the answer it was reminded the ways the European Commission in its information policy reacted to crisis situations in 1993–2009 and then it was compared to its response to the last crisis. The analysis has encompassed the structure of institutions responsible for the policy execution, the strategic documents, the main information initiatives and cooperation with the member states. In the results it was established that in examined period the European Commission did not present true plan of information activities which would be able to support the process of overcoming the crisis. The process of minimisation of the information activities was also noticed clearly what proves the unbelief in its effectiveness. This is demonstrated also by institutional solutions in the European Commission. The information policy from the priority position was put on the sidelines of the European Union interests.
