(7) The European Heritage Label should seek synergies and complementarities with other initiatives such as the UNESCO World Heritage List and the Council of Europe’s ‘European Cultural Routes’, the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the Council of Europe’s ‘European Cultural Routes’ and all existing initiatives which the EU supports, such as the European Network of Cultural Centres – Historic Monuments, Europa Nostra and the ‘Réseau Art Nouveau’ network. The added value of the new European Heritage Label should be based on the contribution made by the selected sites to European history and culture, on a clear educational dimension reaching out to citizens, including young people, and on networking between the sites to share experiences and best practices. The main focus of the initiative should be on the promotion and the access of the sites, and on the quality of the explanations given and of the activities proposed, rather than on the conservation of the sites, which should be guaranteed by existing protection regimes.
