lpv:translated text	"Question No 37 by Lennart Sacrédeus (): The Swedish press reports that the EU competition authority has proposed a 50 per cent limit on national state aid to the film industry. This announcement has also been interpreted as the possible introduction of a ceiling as a first step towards reducing the limit to 30 per cent. These reports have appeared at the same time as the Commission continues to avow its intention to guarantee linguistic and cultural diversity and equality within the EU. Film production in Europe differs from that in the USA in regard to the large number of languages in the EU. Against that background, producing films in the small Member States, such as my own country Sweden, without any support at all, is in many cases financially impossible. A film in a minor language is obviously severely handicapped compared with a film in English, and it is therefore clear that some support is absolutely necessary to ensure that domestic film production can continue in those countries with smaller populations. Does the Commission not consider that the introduction of an EU ceiling to limit national state aid to the film industry is directly contrary to Article 151 of the Treaties which states that 'The Community shall contribute to the flowering of the cultures of the Member States, while respecting their national and regional diversity…', and is the Commission therefore prepared to take action to prevent the introduction of such a limit?"@en1
