lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, this is a sound and very instructive report. I would therefore like to thank the rapporteur for the amount of work she has put into it. It shows, at least, that the European Union and the Member States have done their homework, and have done it well. They have submitted many applications, so much so that this has led to an imbalance. In my opinion, this is due to the opinion that it is especially buildings that must be registered. There are, of course, also other aspects, and I believe we should encourage Member States to take measures so that we can redress the balance and be more selective. My own group is debating whether or not the European Union has a task here. First of all, the preservation of our cultural heritage, also at European level, appeals to the citizen. Our historic monument days are always very well attended. Our cultural heritage is an excellent tool to make the European dimension visible. Secondly, European added value is evident in many areas, for example in cross-border projects in the Wadden Sea region and underwater archaeology. The European Union can encourage Member States to cooperate, and can offer support in all cultural areas, for example. Another point where the European Union can fulfil a typically European task is research and education. So is creating clarity as to which areas transcend national interests. Drafting inventories and lists is necessary at every administrative level, and it is important to weigh up all the pros and cons when taking environmental action. Thirdly, I would mention the deployment of structural funds. Preserving cultural heritage is important for tourism. It brings cultural diversity into focus. It has a bearing on employment. The question of whether the European Union has a task is not a question to me. In this area, the European Union has a task to stimulate, support and make visible Europe’s common cultural heritage. Accordingly, I, along with others in my group, will give my unqualified support to the rapporteur’s report."@en1
