lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the European Culture 2000 programme is ideal for promoting European cultural cooperation. As mentioned a moment ago, it will inject feeling and soul into Europe. I should therefore like to thank Mr Graça Moura for his initiative in drawing up an interim balance sheet. This is very useful. It has become a sound report on which I should like to make a brief comment. Culture 2000 has become an unwieldy programme since it aims to cover the entire field of our cultural heritage and, as I understand it, this has created great difficulty for the Commission, certainly in the first year. And although there is some improvement, the complaints keep flooding in. As mentioned before, red tape puts many potential participants off and, especially in small, often innovative projects set up – as, of course, is often the case in the cultural sector – by inexperienced participants who have nonetheless taken the plunge, there is very often the risk that they will be rejected in the first round on purely formal grounds, which is counterproductive. The criteria are often unclear, and even national bureaux struggle to make sense of them. In my opinion, all of us together must think very carefully about what we want to achieve in future with cultural policy, and we must set priorities for our instruments. I should like to add this to the agenda, so that we can also have an impact on the Convention. In conclusion, I should like to say something about finances. As I have already indicated, I completely agree that the budget is small. But irrespective of whether the financial means are sufficient, I should like to note that they need to be managed efficiently, for a large proportion is not being spent at the moment."@en1
