"This report concerns European cinema in the digital era and the issue of the European cinema industry. Socially, culturally and economically, cinema is of vital importance.
Nonetheless, European cinema’s modernisation gives rise to certain concerns, especially with regard to related costs. This is particularly pertinent when it comes to various small, independent cinemas that are already experiencing serious difficulties surviving, owing to a lack of support, to constant cuts to culture and to the general public’s reduced standard of living.
However, when highlighting the importance of cinema and support for this industry, we are bound to point out the responsibility of EU-imposed budgetary policies, which greatly reduce support for various kinds of artistic creativity, including cinema, affecting the living conditions of countless workers in the performing arts throughout Europe.
The words spoken today in Parliament, which were symbolically uttered by the director of the film which won the LUX award, aimed at an EU ‘too focused on markets and not enough on people’, should be taken very seriously."@en1
