lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, all of us in this Chamber are in favour of the arts and of promoting the arts and education in our respective countries. I hope that nobody would argue against that. However, the problem with this report is that, once again, it is calling for an EU perspective, and that is not appropriate. The diversity of the European Union is that all the different nation states have different cultures, different histories and different backgrounds, and it therefore seems to me important that arts and education should be a matter for determination at national level. This is not an area for interference by the European Union or the European Parliament. ‘Let a thousand flowers bloom’ was, I think, the great phrase. Well, let 27 flowers – at least – bloom in the European Union, but let them bloom separately. I believe that, if we do that, they will flourish far better and live far longer."@en1
