Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Emphasises the importance of Erasmus+, Creative Europe and European Solidarity Corps programmes; deeply regrets that the proposal of the Commission did not follow the promises made regarding increases in the budget allocated to those programmes, namely tripling the budget for the Erasmus+ programme, or responding to the will of the European Parliament to double the budget for the Creative Europe programme, while the Council proposes further irresponsible cutcuts, that are particularly irresponsible given the dramatic consequences of the COVID-19 crisis on European cultural and creative actors;

3. Regrets that the proposal of the Council on the Creative Europe programme is lower than the initial proposal of the Commission; recalls that a doubling of the budget for the programme compared to the 2014-2020 multiannual financial framework is necessary to provide targeted support to the cultural and creative sectors to reduce the substantive losses of the sector due to the unforeseeable closure of venues during the COVID-19 pandemic and to fully finance the ambitions and new priorities of the programme, as the sectors require proper investment to foster job creation and financing to complement national schemes;
