lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on 20 October 2005, the Unesco General Conference adopted the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions by 148 votes in favour to two against with four abstentions. This convention recognises the specific nature of cultural activities, goods and services that can under no circumstances be regarded as mere commodities. Article 20 stipulates that the countries must pay heed to the convention when they subscribe to other international obligations, such as the agreements concluded in the context of the World Trade Organisation. This convention must be ratified by 30 countries before it can enter into force. To date, Canada is the only country to have ratified it. The European Union, represented by its Commission, has played a major role in the adoption of the convention. Ought not our President, together with the chairman of the Committee on Culture and Education, write a letter to the Council and to all the Heads of State or Government urging them to ratify the convention?"@en1
