(5) The promotion of European cultural diversity depends on the existence of flourishing and resilient cultural and creative sectors, able to create, produce and distribute their works to a large and diverse European audience. This thereby enlarges their business potential and contributes to sustainable growth and jobs creation. In addition, promotion of creativity contributes to boosting competitiveness and sparkling innovation in the industrial value chains. In spite of recent progress, the European cultural and creative market continues to be fragmented along national and linguistic lines, which do not allow the cultural and creative sectors to fully benefit from the European single market and the digital single market in particular. Given the importance of diversity as part of Europe's cultural wealth, the Union should encourage the transnational circulation and cross-border co- production of works and develop more effective solutions to attract the widest possible international audience, while ensuring a level playing field in the European cultural and creative sectors. To facilitate the circulation of audiovisual content, it is necessary to focus on a suitable framework that provides equal access to funding in the film industry for countries with few audiovisual resources.

(1) Culture, cultural heritage and cultural diversity are of great value to European society from a cultural, democratic, environmental, social, human rights and economic point of view and should be promoted and supported.

(4) The Commission Communication on a New European Agenda for Culture15 further sets out the objectives of the Union for the cultural and creative sectors. It aims to harness the power of culture and cultural diversity for social cohesion, the forging of European citizenship and societal well- being, fostering the cross-border dimension of cultural and creative sectors, supporting their capacity to grow, encouraging culture-based creativity in education and innovation, and for jobs and growth as well as strengthening international cultural relations. Creative Europe, together with other Union programmes, should support the implementation of this New European Agenda for Culture. Artistic creation is at the heart of cooperation projects and is the point of departure for actions such as mobility, reaching out to new audiences and best practices; sharing creative works is a valuable means of discovering and raising awareness of emerging artists and accompanying them on a European career. This is also in line with the 2005 UNESCO Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, which entered into force on 18 March 2007 and to which the Union is a party. __________________ 15 COM(2018) 267 final.

(4a) According to the December 2017 Eurobarometer, 91 % of respondents believe cultural heritage to be important or very important for their country, while 80 % consider it important for the EU; in addition, 51 % of respondents indicate that they are personally involved in cultural heritage conservation, for example through regular visits to sites or monuments; it is therefore necessary to make the cultural heritage a priority action for the European Union, which may in particular recommend best practices for the conservation of ancient and historic buildings, whether public or private;

The impact of such policies should be assessed on a regular basis taking account of qualitative and quantitative indicators such as the benefits for citizens and their active participation, the benefits for the EU economy in terms of growth and jobs and spill-overs in other sectors of the economy and the skills and competences of people working in CCS.

(5) The promotion of European cultural diversity depends on the existence of flourishing and resilient cultural and creative sectors, able to create, produce and distribute their works to a large and diverse European audience. This thereby enlarges their business potential and contributes to sustainable growth and jobs creation. Creative Europe, together with other Union programmes, should support the implementation of this New European Agenda for Culture.. In spite of recent progress, the European cultural and creative market continues to be fragmented along national and linguistic lines, which do not allow the cultural and creative sectors to fully benefit from the European single market and the digital single market in particular. In addition, the highly fragmented cultural and creative sector gives rise to many precarious employment relationships and gender pay disparities to the detriment of women, problems which the support provided through Creative Europe must address and remedy.

(5a) The resilience and dynamism of the cultural and creative sectors also depend on cultural participation by Member State citizens. According to the November 2013 Eurobarometer, the least popular cultural activities were theatre (favoured by 28 % of respondents) and ballet, opera or dance performances (18 %). Moreover, lack of interest was indicated as one of the main reasons for non-participation. The cultural sectors concerned, particularly those in receipt of public funding, should accordingly be encouraged to remedy this lack of interest, for example by adapting their offer to the majority taste of the public without sacrificing the high quality of the repertoire proposed.

This requires strong European cultural and creative sectors, in particular~~. Culture contributes significantly to intercultural dialogue and understanding, social cohesion, cultural development, sustainable growth and competitiveness, creation and creativity, innovation and knowledge generation. This requires strong European cultural and creative sectors, both in the for-profit and not-for- profit domains. This also requires a vibrant European audiovisual and music industry, taking into account its capacity to reach large audiences and its economic importance, including for other creative sectors as well as cultural tourism. However, competition in global audiovisual markets has been further intensified by the deepening digital disruption e.g. changes in media production, consumption and the growing position of global platforms in the distribution of content. Therefore, there is a need to step-up the support to the European industry, while providing equal support to the rest of the cultural and creative sectors.

In Europe and throughout the world, cities are driving new cultural policies. A large number of creative communities are gathered in hubs, incubators and dedicated spaces worldwide.

(8) The cross-sectoral strand aims at exploiting the potential of collaboration among different cultural and creative sectors.

However, none of the activities in the cross-sectoral strand should target third-country nationals, in particular refugees, as a priority target group, unlike certain actions undertaken since 2016. Moreover, expenditure on missions to assist less experienced offices outside the European Union should be strictly monitored, since they cannot become a major part of the activities carried out under the cross-sectoral strand.

(27a) Specific actions should be taken to increase the participation to the Programme, on the one hand, of microenterprises and start-ups, due to their limited financial capabilities and difficulty to access to private financing, and of SMEs established in regions hit by natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floodings, on the other. Natural disasters have serious impacts on the well- being, social cohesion and economy of regions. In this perspective, the realisation of initiatives linked to arts, culture and creativity has the potential of infusing new life in the population of those regions, increasing their awareness of their social and cultural identity as well as increasing their economic resilience. In light of this, an appropriate part of the total financial envelope of the Programme should be exclusively allocated to the participation of microenterprises and start-ups as well as of SMEs established in regions hit by natural disasters. The Programme should also set higher co- financing rates for the costs of the operations supported by those organisations.
