"Tourism is now already an important economic sector in Europe and also has very high potential for development over the next few years. The Commission’s statement contains quite a few sound proposals as to how employment and the dynamism of the sector can be promoted further. An open coordination method and a strengthened role for the advisory tourist committee would be important factors in this connection. We also welcome the fact that tourism is to be made sustainable in the long term through a European Agenda 21 for tourism.
We believe, however, that the current report does not accord sufficient respect to the subsidiarity principle. Setting up a European framework programme for tourism would place a further burden on the EU budget, which is already overstretched.
Nor is it possible to give tourism policy it own legal basis in the Treaties. Even if there is a need for coordination, tourism can be dealt with at national and regional levels, for example when it comes to marketing. The report also appears to lack confidence in the sector’s own capacity for development."@en1
