"We fully share the view that cultural diversity should be recognised as a fundamental right, and we therefore choose to support Mrs Prets report on cultural diversity. The EU is, and must remain, a mosaic of minorities and cultures. As liberals, we always put the private individual at the centre of all political decisions. We therefore believe it to be of the greatest importance both to confirm in international law that every state or group of states has a legitimate right freely to decide what cultural policy they wish to pursue, and to strengthen the policy of international cooperation and solidarity on cultural issues. Linguistic diversity must also be retained within the EU.
We are, however, dubious about the idea of the EU being legally entitled to take measures within the area of culture and the media in order to preserve and promote cultural diversity. We do not therefore wish to support the EU’s developing a legal instrument for cultural diversity."@en1
