(7) The European Heritage Label should seek synergies and complementarities with otherto supplement but not duplicate initiatives such as the UNESCO World Heritage List and the Council of Europe's "European Cultural Routes". 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.

(11a) The funding of the European Heritage Label from 2013 should come from the Culture Programme (or another existing programme) and should not be funded through the margins of the Union's budget. The EUR 1 million set aside for 2013 in this decision should be sourced from existing monies through a re-prioritisation of a current programme, such as the Culture Programme. Due to the relatively small amount in question, this can be achieved with a minimal impact on the source programme.
