"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I too would like to compliment Mrs Hieronymi on the excellent work that has been produced.
Our audiovisual heritage is without doubt a valuable channel for consolidating our common historical identity and for understanding our diverse cultures, which form the basis for developing European citizenship. It is no accident that films are already recognised in law as a cultural asset in some countries. I endorse the rapporteur’s proposal in Amendment 71 to establish a network of databases encompassing the European audiovisual heritage.
In that respect, Commissioner, I must point out that, during the debate in this Chamber on the Hegyi report on the preservation of our film heritage on 9 May 2005, I proposed setting up a European themed film archive to preserve a careful selection of films about historical events and episodes relating to the development of the Community project.
Another sensitive issue is funding: we have to remedy the chronic undercapitalisation of the sector by providing better access to credit facilities for the audiovisual industry and enabling small and medium-sized enterprises to benefit from special financial services. I therefore welcome the rapporteur’s Amendments 10 and 59. Of course, in the EU’s current situation, I regard the proposal to commit financial resources amounting to EUR 1 005 million over the 2007-2013 period as the absolute minimum needed to achieve the programme’s goals.
Next, it is important to encourage the development of new talent; that is why I shall vote for the rapporteur’s Amendment 56, which proposes establishing a scholarship named after Pier Paolo Pasolini for young talent.
Lastly, with regard to the use of new technologies, as also suggested by the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy I propose that the Commission should take charge of evaluating pilot projects that have been carried out and of disseminating them if they prove to be successful experiments."@en1
