I voted for the resolution on European cinema in the digital era because I think that the digital era is creating new opportunities for the audiovisual sector, especially in the film industry. It will therefore ensure more effective distribution, screening and availability of films, while also offering higher audio and visual quality to the European public. I voted for paragraph 92 which calls on Member States to include film education in their national education programmes. Even though European cinema provided more than 30 000 jobs in 2010 and almost 1 billion cinema tickets were sold in the EU, there is still a geographical imbalance in Europe in the accessibility of cinemas and films to the public, which is more noticeable in Eastern Europe and rural areas. Digitisation of the European film industry and its cinemas must be supported at European and national level, thereby avoiding restrictions on access to cultural diversity and on availability. I support the need to standardise systems based on ISO standards in the areas of production, distribution and film screening and to ensure interoperability of digital projection systems and materials, as well as other devices. The development of digital cinema requires respect for intellectual property and the related rights in the Information Society."@en1
