Mr President, it is clear that the strength of European culture does not, indeed cannot, lie in its buildings and its cathedrals. It is the creative ability of its citizens, of the people who live in Europe – its dreams, as Mrs Reding was saying – that create Europe’s strength, including its cultural strength. Its audiovisual industry can be a perfect example of that, not only in terms of protecting Europe in this era of large-scale global homogenisation, but also in terms of reinforcing the sense of a collective identity composed of so very many different identities, which create cultural diversity.
That is why the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and my group, in particular, have been totally in favour of this Media 2007 programme from the outset. The programme contributes to shaping these undefined elements of European citizenship. It is therefore crucial to support the text as it stands.
I believe, Commissioner, that it will be a matter of reflecting upon some of the amendments that you do not want. I imagine that there will be an opportunity to discuss them. Be that as it may, I am delighted to see that you are satisfied by the amendments that somewhat improve the text. I have the feeling that, in the course of this part-session, we will be voting in favour of a very fine text, which will enhance this European cultural dimension of the future."@en1
