"Madam President, Commissioner, President-in-Office, Europe has been asked to show its citizens a different side to globalisation. This is not the side of unfettered competition, but that of social solidarity, redistribution, diversification and cultural values.
In this internal dialogue, and also in any opening-up of the EU to the rest of the world through economic, social and environmental policies and those on security, viable development and immigration, the European Commission must promote and strengthen the EU’s cultural ethos. The Commission must directly promote in its annual legislative work, in the Lisbon Strategy and also in the process of strengthening the post-reform Treaty, the following areas in the cultural sector:
Firstly, the Commission must strengthen the cultural industries based on high-quality, innovative services while providing significant productive and innovative possibilities for the European economy. This sector is of considerable importance for intercultural dialogue.
Secondly, it must strengthen the ‘knowledge triangle’ of research, education and innovation. This, unfortunately, does not yet have the backing of legislative measures, although it should be one of the EU’s aims.
Innovation in the field of culture should not be a luxury enjoyed by a few multinational companies, but a horizontal policy for SMEs.
Madam President, the European Commission and the Council must clearly decide their positions for meeting the challenges of globalisation. They must do this through open dialogue, initially with the national parliaments. Globalisation can be presented as part of European history if it can be imbued with the ethos of European culture."@en1
