lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Culture 2000 programme – as this good report establishes very graphically – does not only make clear the increasing need for culture, but also makes a contribution towards the creation of a unitary cultural area. The report, though, shows just as clearly that this programme is marked by a disparity between the wealth of its objectives on the one hand and the astonishing poverty of its budget on the other. The rapporteur is right to highlight the explicit recognition of culture as an economic factor and also as a factor in social integration and citizenship. As with so many other programmes, for example, within the regional policy framework – which is not to excuse it – it cannot but be noted that the first two years were characterised by the late appearance of calls for proposals. Indeed, I will at this point use the same words as the rapporteur, who speaks of ‘chaotic programme management’, in these first two years. At the end of the day, Culture 2000's low level of implementation during its first year of operation can be attributed to that and to lengthy and cumbersome internal procedures. This is where, in my view, the Commission has to make real efforts to shorten the cycle of the projects and guarantee the programme's continuity. In conclusion, I would like to pick out from this report's Explanatory Statement a question that particularly interests me as a regional politician and put it to the Commission. It is this: How can the necessary complementarity and coordination be established between Culture 2000 and the resources of the Structural Funds allocated to culture in the Member States? That might be an interesting angle, and one to which we might give some thought."@en1
