". In view of the fact that cinema is an integral part of culture and that culture is key to the development of human beings, it must be encouraged and supported by means of practical – and especially financial – measures. The film industry must not be looked upon as an exclusively economic activity, because competitiveness has a negative effect and may dilute cinema’s cultural and educational elements. I agree with the rapporteur that the cultural heritage of European cinema must be preserved, ‘encouraging policies of innovation, research and technological development in the field of conservation and restoration of cinematographic works’, but with a cultural and educational end, rejecting competitiveness as a principal factor. The establishment of the ‘legal requirement’ to deposit the master copy is a further welcome measure in preserving people’s collective memory and identity. These measures should form part of a cooperation framework between Member States, under the scope of the cultural diversity that characterises Europe’s different regions, countries and peoples. The obsession with competitiveness undermines creativity and artistic nature, due to the pressures of the market and the demands placed by the capitalist, profit-orientated mindset. A policy must therefore be drawn up that sets out practical measures to support the audiovisual sector, which would reduce the sector’s dependence on private backing and would make it less beholden to the inherent contradictions therein."@en1
