".
I welcome this agreement after 20 very long months of negotiations between the Council, Parliament and the Commission. An agreement based on Article 167 of the Treaty and which reinforces European action in the cultural field with the creation of a ‘European Heritage Label’, an initiative designed to strengthen our shared identity and sense of belonging to the European Union. We already have UNESCO World Heritage sites, ‘National Historic Sites’ in the United States, now we will have European Heritage sites too. Once a year, each Member State can submit a historical landmark to be included in this list. A panel of experts will select the candidate sites according to their cross-border dimension and their role in the history and construction of Europe. At this stage, the EU will only communicate on the initiative and highlight the selected sites, with Member States remaining exclusively responsible for their management. The ultimate goal is for pilgrimages to all of these places that have gone down in the history of the old continent, such as the Roman Forum, the Forest Glade of Compiègne, the Brandenburg Gate, Palos de la Frontera or ... the Lion’s Mound of Waterloo."@en1
