lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would first like to point out how important Mr Graça Moura’s report is. The construction of a cultural Europe is now proving to be just as great a necessity as the construction of a political Europe, which has until now been an economic and monetary Europe. Whether we are aiming for a cultural policy or promoting cultural activities, the findings are the same. The budget allocated to the “Culture 2000” programme is ridiculously small. Is it acceptable that the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education, Media and Sport has been given EUR 167.33 million per year when it is asking for EUR 250 million? Community expenditure on culture stands at 0.003%. Is it really appropriate to welcome the adoption of such a budget? Mrs Reding herself, in the September hearings spoke of cultural action in a way that suggested it was being recognised belatedly. Let us find a way of making up the lost time that is obvious to everyone, with an adapted budget. The rapporteur also stresses the link between culture and citizenship. I think in fact that greater balance is necessary between the budgets allocated to ambitious cultural events and the targeted projects. The construction of European citizenship will come about as a result of the involvement of individuals, not only of institutions In view of this reticence where budgets are concerned, I would like to make a concluding observation. What can we say about a Europe which is proud, and rightly so, to defend its cultural diversity at the forthcoming WTO negotiations if we are not capable of giving real support to this cultural expression? I would not like the budget for culture to become inversely proportional to our cultural ambitions."@en1
