".
Mr President, I would add my voice of congratulation to our rapporteur and, indeed, to the Commission on an ambitious report and package.
I would stress the importance of such ambition from the European level for the European film industry. By way of example of how not to do it and why we need this package, look at Scotland. We have a high-quality film infrastructure, talented technicians and actors and stunning locations, yet we are not known for our film industry. With good reason: our government does not adequately support it. A film about Mary, Queen of Scots, is about to be made in Ireland; a new film version of Macbeth - the Scottish play - will be shot on the Isle of Man. Government support for film is crucial in the global market of the film industry. This report demonstrates why we need a European framework that is ambitious and has a soul to it that we can push forward from a European dimension.
I congratulate the rapporteur and I shall be giving a copy of the report to the Scottish Government."@en1
