lpv:translated text	"The European Heritage Label initiative is intended to promote the cities, people and activities that have contributed to the process of European integration. Its aim is to make citizens more aware of the fundamental values, such as democracy, solidarity, cultural diversity and tolerance, upon which our Community is based. The list of sites awarded a European Heritage Label will act as a kind of map of our continent’s traditions and culture, and a map of places that have played a key role in forming the European identity. Europe’s common, yet diverse heritage can strengthen its citizens’ sense of this identity, and strengthen European cohesion. This initiative will create a platform for cooperation between the countries and regions of Europe. Furthermore, it may have a positive impact on the tourism sector, by helping to make regions more attractive and, at the same time, improving their economic situation. I agree that this scheme should become an official initiative under the auspices of the EU, as this will make it more widely recognised, credible and prestigious. The increased visibility of the scheme will make it possible for a greater number of citizens to identify with the labels, which symbolise and commemorate European integration. The scheme should operate in parallel and as a complement to UNESCO’s international scheme and the European Capitals of Culture, since the European Heritage Label operates on the level of educational and symbolic values and, to a lesser extent, aesthetic and architectonic qualities. We should search for ways to strengthen citizens’ sense of belonging to Europe."@en1
