"Cinema and film production constitute an important branch of industry, in Europe also. However, for any country, cinema and film production represent, first and foremost, part of the country’s culture and a tool for creating cultural heritage. Viewed as a product, they are also inseparably intertwined with technological progress, which, today, essentially implies digitisation.
Supporting the European film industry, which in itself is very desirable, cannot take place in isolation from the global heritage of this cultural sector. The report suggests solutions that openly discriminate against American film, for example, preferring measures which plainly favour cinemas that specialise in the projection of European films. Maintaining small cinemas, often sharing a long-standing history, is a positive measure. However, the increase of financial outlays for such operators cannot take place when based on discrimination due to the character and origin of the projected films. The aforementioned regulations form the basis of my reservations; therefore I decided to abstain from voting."@en1
