"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I welcome this proposal, which aims to strengthen European citizens’ sense of belonging to the European Union through shared history and heritage, and an awareness of diversity, as well as to intensify intercultural dialogue.
Promoting initiatives like the recognition of European heritage, which aim to bring citizens closer to an idea of belonging to a Europe that unites us is, in my view, hugely positive. Often, the concept of Europe remains vague and national identities still tend to dominate.
The European Heritage Label has a special characteristic: it shows the historical importance of a monument, indicates that it had an important role for European culture and clearly underlines its intangible value as a bearer of a historic and cultural message. It stands apart from other labels in this field that refer to the object’s extraordinary historic, cultural or artistic value due to its material nature. Of course, that is not to say that the historical substance of a monument is irrelevant; that is precisely what makes it authentic, as its physicality strongly conveys the intangible importance of a place. Essentially, it represents a symbol of ideas like democracy, freedom and diversity."@en1
