"According to the report, European cinema can be regarded as something that helps to establish the European identity. In other words, films produced in Europe can be used to address subjects that can and should encourage subsequent discussion. An important issue relating to European cinema is the economic aspect. Thus, European productions bring in money for the Member States while they are being shown and also serve to make viewers aware of a wide range of different regions. In 2010, 1 203 films were produced in Europe. In the US there were ‘only’ 754. Twenty-seven per cent of the one billion cinema tickets sold were for European films. However, as a result of the rapid advances in technology (digital, 3D and so on), some cinemas, small ones located in rural regions in particular, are being forced to close because they are unable to finance a technology conversion or upgrade. This will mean that in future it will no longer be possible to ensure that cinemas are found right throughout the Union. I did not vote in favour of the report, as I believe that this issue should be taken up at national level rather than European level."@en1
