". We did not reject this report, since we are in favour of cinema and culture being accessible to all, which is far from the case today. We refused, however, to vote in favour of the report, which accuses the Commission – which is incredible, given its policy! – of neglecting the industrial aspect of the audiovisual industry…only to call for more subsidies for the capital invested in this sector. We are not opposed to assisting the creation and distribution of works, but the rapporteur is more concerned about those with capital at their disposal than about spectators. We should support, for example, local authorities which are struggling to subsidise and therefore to keep open local cinemas, fulfilling an important role in distributing works cheaply amongst the general public, and encourage other local authorities to follow suit. But this is not the aim of the report, which advocates financing research and development into e-cinema, fitting cinemas with expensive equipment, recommending that we let the market take care of the rest. In other words, once again, in order to develop a so-called ‘under-capitalised’ industry, given that the private sector will not take risks in this area without a safety net, the public is being called upon to finance future private profits."@en1
