lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too should like to take my turn in congratulating the rapporteur for having made a quantum leap and married her vision to political considerations, a rare feat indeed here. We all want a revival of the arts, and the performing arts in particular, and we feel that enlargement really will allow us to enter a new era in Europe. I am sure that each and every one of us, like the Commissioner, is eager to contribute to this revival in our own way, by providing a number of political tools. I have to say that the report, which I made a point of sending to numerous theatrical agencies in Greece, has excited a great deal of interest and they are waiting to see how tomorrow's vote goes and who votes against it. I think that political intervention to bring about an area of performing arts is extremely important and I just have one or two comments to make. Commissioner, I know that you are not responsible, but the statistics are so late, they are causing confusion and muddying the waters. We need these statistics and your support is important here. It is also important for dramatic works to be translated. They cannot appear first in book form and then as translations. Dramatic works really do need to circulate among artists as translations if they are to travel. And finally, the whole situation is in a state of flux. We have a Canadian initiative on international cultural collaboration, we have the ongoing discussion within the World Trade Organisation, and we shall have to wait and see how these situations develop. So we have to harness our vision to political ideas which will bring about a cultural policy which revives rather than renationalises the performing arts, a policy that offers specific ways of making our dreams come true for European culture."@en1
