The ‘Culture 2000’ programme was set up to provide a single funding and programming instrument in the field of cultural cooperation in the European Union, replacing existing sectoral programmes, namely Rafael, Ariane and Kaleidoscope. Culture 2000 was given around EUR 167 million and will end on 31 December 2004. The new framework programme for Culture is not due to start until the beginning of 2007. The Commission plans to extend the current programme to 2005 and 2006 in order to ensure continuity in the actions that have been undertaken, which we believe is a positive step and we consequently voted in favour of this proposal.
We feel, however, that the sum allocated to this single instrument is clearly insufficient to meet the needs in the field of cultural cooperation. The sum proposed for 2005 and 2006, of around EUR 67 million, is particularly low, given that enlargement will have taken place.
An evaluation of the impact of the current programme is becoming crucial because, as the Commission admits, some changes will have to be made. Examples are: greater support for preserving and restoring cultural heritage of European interest that is considered to be cultural heritage by UNESCO; greater participation and support for cultural cooperation initiatives by local associations and institutions, greater support for acquiring cultural equipment by local associations."@en1
