"I voted in favour of the report because I am convinced that European cinema must be supported in tackling the huge challenge of entering the digital era. European cinema has enormous potential, which it is vital to support. There are approximately 30 000 screens in the European Union. In 2010 there were 1 203 films made here (compared to 754 in the United States) and nearly a billion tickets were sold, with European films accounting for 27% of the market.
However, switching from celluloid to digital involves considerably higher costs for both producers and cinema owners. It is important, therefore, to support different ways of financing the digitisation of cinema – by using structural funds, for example – in order to prevent a crisis in the sector and its associated industries.
It is also essential to foster mechanisms to integrate distributors and cinema operators in order to lower the costs of investment. Lastly, we should continue to monitor the provision of financial support both for cinema itself and for culture and education in general."@en1
