lpv:translated text	"Madam President, much is spoken about preserving and enhancing European cultural heritage. For cultures to really flourish we need concrete action as well as speeches. I believe that the report by my colleague Mrs Prets will help us make some progress. There should be support for the Convention on cultural diversity as proposed by UNESCO’s General Conference. I think the rapporteur’s approach to examining culture as part of all the EU’s different policy areas is a welcome one. This way of considering the matter should also be extended to practical action. The Culture 2000 programme is the most conspicuous but by no means the only instrument. Money is channelled from the Structural Funds to projects in the field of culture, but the take-up rate could be raised with more effective systems of information. Internal market legislation has a partial impact on the mobility of cultural products, that is, arts and artists. We still too often run into problems in this area especially as far as taxation is concerned. The objective set at Lisbon regarding the European information society has brought a new dimension to the field of culture. Technology offers more opportunities and tools, but they must be harnessed in the service of culture, not the other way round. The European cultural networks are a key resource in the promotion of cultural diversity. I hope that we will establish a legal basis to ensure they are properly funded as quickly as possible. I want to thank the rapporteur, Mrs Prets, for her personal input to promote cultural diversity. She has organised several workshops on European art this parliamentary term."@en1
