"I am particularly happy that the report on the future of the Union’s development policy takes the cultural dimension into consideration. Culture is a vector for openness and a driving force for democracies, guarding against retreats into nationalism, the temptations of racism and exclusion, all of which are being fuelled by the current economic, financial, climate and food crises. That is why I believe it is necessary to encourage the free movement of artists. A country’s culture is also part of a global cultural scene. Such diversity is essential if we are to halt the impoverishing uniformisation of globalisation. Culture, as a system of thought, norms, values and interactions between societies, will, as Abdou Diouf says, be a decisive factor in the management of globalisation. Finally, culture creates wealth and jobs. Its contribution to GDP can be as much as 3 %. That is why it must be taken into account in national and international poverty reduction strategies."@en1
