(10) The European cultural and creative sectors are inherently fragmented along national and linguistic lines. However, it is appropriate to also take into account the existence of regional cultural and creative sectors which do not always follow national and linguistic borders of Member States. On the one hand, fragmentation results in a culturally diverse and highly independent cultural landscape, providing a voice for the different cultural traditions forming the diversity of our European heritage. On the other hand, fragmentation leads to limited and sub-optimal transnational circulation of cultural and creative works and operators within and outside the Union, to geographical imbalances and -— subsequently -— to a limited choice for the consumer.
