"Commissioner Vitorino, I appreciated the communication that you just made on behalf of the Commission on the Media II programme for support for the creation and production of European culture. I simply feel that the funds are too small for the ambition that the Commission has for this programme and for this strategy. Nevertheless, the intention is good and should be applauded. I feel however, that the greater consumption of European audiovisual products will occur through educating Europeans themselves, through stimulating their taste and their appreciation of European culture and by rejecting the many poor-quality products that come from other parts of the world. This educating process is obviously not within the Commission’s competence. It is up to Europeans themselves, in the way they raise and educate their children and in the way they run their media. Nevertheless, I appreciated your communication and I support it. What I asked you just now though is this; is this programme positively compatible with the Commission’s other position according to which we should protect European audiovisual products from competition, especially television, which the French call a “cultural exception”?"@en1
