lpv:translated text	". Culture is an area that falls into the much-vaunted but little-practised category of subsidiarity, where Europe should take a hands-off approach as far as possible. European cultural policy should really be no more than encouragement in the form of subsidies, for example when a town is nominated as a capital of culture. The rapporteur has raised a number of practical problems in the system of designating capitals of culture. We will all agree that we need to find a fairer way of ensuring that all Member States have an equal opportunity to promote their culture, particularly following the enlargement which is due to take place in a few weeks. The idea of having two capitals of culture would appear to be a reasonable option. At the European summit last week in Brussels my country was not considered on the issue of appointing a director to the ECB. The large Member States share out the posts among themselves. There is no real respect for the smaller Member States, merely lip-service. I hope that the symbolism of the European capitals will not go the same way. That is just a wish that I wanted to express here."@en1
