This report explores some interesting options for maintaining and strengthening the film industry of the EU Member States.
The emphasis placed on the dual – i.e. cultural and industrial – nature of cinematographic and audiovisual works does not make sense since the advantages to be gained from paying this sector greater attention lie precisely in promoting its cultural dimension. Nevertheless, for a credible European film industry to survive when up against the powerful Hollywood production companies, we need to support large industrial companies that can rival mass production.
Furthermore, the proposals in the report are, for the most part, worthy of interest. They include co-financing work to digitise archives, supporting digital projection equipment, as well as calling for tax incentives to be introduced by Member States for audiovisual products and services; the wide spectrum of proposed measures is vast. We can hope that, if they were applied, real progress could be made in the industries and services in the audiovisual sector.
As far as defining new legal standards for harmonisation between the various national laws, this idea in itself cannot be condemned, but we must prevent this harmonisation from serving as a pretext for promoting a European culture that does not really exist."@en1
