"I am happy to provide further information in response to Mr Sacrédeus' question. First, on cultural diversity – a key point in our Community – the diversity of characteristics in the schemes operated by Member States reflects the cultural diversity in the European Union. Accordingly, the Commission does not wish to impose any particular model under the review. The Commission does not want to harmonise the provisions of the different schemes but just to ensure their compliance with the four specific compatibility criteria that were set out in the French decision.
On the issue of whether the 50% aid intensity threshold applies to smaller Member States with limited cultural markets and could an exception be envisaged for them: Well, the answer is that the 50% aid intensity threshold applies in principle across the board to all Member States without distinction. It is to be noted that in the absence of territorialisation, the 50% aid intensity criterion becomes irrelevant. The Commission might consider applying exceptions to the 50% aid criterion if such a limit would make cultural production impossible. The Commission has already established an exception for difficult low-budget films. For certain smaller Member States, in the case of territorialisation, the Commission might consider authorising higher aid intensities on a case-by-case basis, if it is established that the 50% aid intensity level would not ensure cultural production because the cultural area and market diffusion were limited."@en1
