"Madam President, I would firstly like to make an observation with regard to all the issues we deal with in the parliamentary committee which I belong to, the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education, the Media and Sport. Less than 1% of the Community budget is dedicated to all of these areas, which leads me to believe that they are not one of Parliament’s greatest priorities, given that such a small proportion of the budget is dedicated to them. We hope that this situation will change in the near future. Secondly, I would like to say that just a few months ago I attended a meeting, in the in Madrid, attended by cultural leaders from the Member States, such as the directors of national museums, and I am sorry to say that they were all fairly disgruntled with the Culture 2000 programme. Many of them said that they thought it was a backward step in relation to the previous programmes, Ariadna and Raphael, and that given the expenditure on the bureaucratic formalities necessary to request financial assistance, that assistance did not pay at the end of the day. Generally speaking, they expressed the feeling of being somewhat deceived. I feel that we need to try to distribute the available funds so as to create more support than discontent, and I feel that this is very important for the image of culture at the European level. I think it is important that we simplify bureaucracy, because everyone agrees that this was a great obstacle. We also need to make sure that there are no delays in payments, because many beneficiaries cannot cope with such delays. It is also important for us to ensure that projects are not rejected for purely formal reasons, and that we have to provide opportunities for small structures, another issue on which there were complaints."@en1
