Paragraph 8
8. Is concerned that the structure of the cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI), which cover many micro-organisations, has made them particularly vulnerable to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation, decimating both organisations and employment opportunitiesa 31% loss of turnover for the CCSI in 2020 compared to 2019 and decimating both organisations and employment opportunities, with twice as many people losing their job in the cultural sector than in the economy as a whole, and explainsing their very slow and incomplete economic recovery; therefore, requests more support for the CCSI; and asks the Commission to assess the possibilities for providing more operational and consistent grants to organisations that the EU cannot afford to lose;
