lpv:translated text	"In Europe we like to take pride in the fact that our cultural diversity and exquisite works of art are part of our identities. Yet we rarely mention the fact that these artistic works were often created by impoverished artists, who received no proper payment during their lifetime and who only enjoy posthumous fame. Even today there is no shortage of artists who, owing to the complicated procedures involved in obtaining work permits or in calculating their years of work, find themselves on the margins of survival, even though their works are magnificent and highly regarded throughout Europe. Since culture and art rank among those fields that do not only bring spiritual enrichment but also major commercial benefits and many jobs, it is utterly unbelievable and quite intolerable that today’s top artists also have to struggle with issues of survival and social insecurity. For instance an artist in Slovenia is also an artist in other parts of Europe, and it would be a great pity if administrative barriers were to confine him exclusively to his own country thereby depriving the citizens of other Member States of the opportunity to enjoy his work. In the area of education and in the European labour market we place great emphasis on mobility, something that is particularly important for artists and the users of art, and which makes a significant contribution to intercultural dialogue and the mutual cohesion of nations and cultures in the European Union. It would therefore be right for Europe to take some important steps here and to harmonise legislation to the extent that it will become usable and more understandable for the layperson, or to introduce at least some appropriate instruments that will contribute to the greater mobility and social security of artists."@en1
