The European Commission has launched its very own channel on YouTube to make its audiovisual content more widely available to the public.
EUTube contains video content ranging from documentaries covering the EU's activities and history to interviews with European commissioners.

Margot Wallström, vice-president for institutional relations and communication strategy, said the channel shows the Commission is committed to better explaining its policies and actions to citizens.
She added the EU can't ignore online developments - particularly the use of video sharing sites - as it's important to communicate with citizens using all available means.
At present there are around 50 video clips available including an interview with Wallström along with a documentary on the EU's post war development.
The majority of content is in English with some in French and German and other languages to be added at a later date.
