In the early 1990s, during the lengthy and often heated debate over the United Kingdom's ratification of the Maastricht Treaty, the European Commission became increasingly aware of a communication gap between itself and the British public. Mindful of the need to bridge this gap, the London Office of the Commission convened a National Consultative Conference at Stoke Rochford Hall, Grantham, in January 1993. This conference, entitled 'Britain in Europe - filling the information gap together', assembled a wide variety of information providers who recognised that if the lack of consensus between Brussels and the general public was to be overcome, then a more decentralised approach to EC information provision was necessary. This article examines how the response to this was developed.
