"Mr President, not only has tourism been somewhat forcibly tacked on to the Committee on Transport like a spare wheel, but on top of that we are discussing it so late at night. It is hard to associate tourism with the night. Some of the most interesting programmes, with great significance for tourism, are the ‘rural renewal’ programmes. They have a long tradition in Germany and Austria, and are slowly being introduced in other countries such as Poland. They are, however, exclusively local in nature, sometimes benefiting from regional support. However their acknowledged value means that they should become the focus of the European Union’s interest, and of course an object of financial interest. Hence my very specific question: could the European Commission not consider establishing a special programme of promotion and financial support for rural renewal? Would it not be worth attending to such initiatives to a significantly larger extent than now? In my view these are rhetorical questions, but I would like the Commission’s answer to be more than just rhetorical."@en1
