I voted for the Council position at first reading with a view to adopting a decision establishing a European Union action for the European Heritage Label. The proposal’s aim is to strengthen European citizens’ sense of belonging to the European Union, based on shared elements of history and heritage, as well as to value diversity and deepen intercultural dialogue. The label does not focus on the sites’ beauty or architectural quality, but rather on their symbolic value to European integration and the EU’s history, and it is aimed at the activities which they can offer and their educational aspect, especially for young people. The proposal introduces new common, clear and transparent criteria for the European Heritage Label, which will be applied by all participating Member States. The selection and monitoring procedures will ensure that the label is awarded only to the most relevant sites, while those which no longer meet the required criteria will lose it. Each Member State may pre-select a maximum of two sites every two years, both national and transnational sites. A panel of independent experts will chose one site per country at the most, which can be approved for the label. The first sites will be selected in 2012, and we would like to see as many sites as possible participating from the new Member States as well."@en1
