This proposal is less than its original proposal before the crisis and will not be financed thanks&nbsp;to the money&nbsp;borrowed on the markets.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, when the EU Commission proposed a draft EU global budget,&nbsp;the envelope for Creative Europe was of \u20ac 1,64 billion, a small increase compared to the current budget for 2014-2020 of \u20ac 1,46 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the EU Commission&nbsp;has recognised&nbsp;that the cultural sector&nbsp;is the most impacted&nbsp;by the crisis as the Creative and Cultural Industries have experienced the largest losses with a drop of almost 80% of revenues in the second quarter of 2020 and an estimated drop of 50% for the last quarter of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>According to this draft recovery plan, the Creative and Cultural Industries will have to count on the support of Member States with only timid encouragement of the EU Commission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ECCD&nbsp;would have wished&nbsp;that the EU Commission&nbsp;had proposed&nbsp;at least to double the current budget of Creative Europe, as asked by the European Parliament.<\/strong>&nbsp;The Commission should certainly not have proposed even less as in 2018. &nbsp;Positive political announcements made by the Commissioners Thierry Breton and Mariya Gabriel on 4 May 2020 should have been translated into concrete funding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EU cultural diversity, its protection and enhancement deserves&nbsp;more&nbsp;EU political and direct financial support.&nbsp;The ECCD therefore hopes that the EU Council will reconsider this proposal for Creative Europe and will give more robust consideration and&nbsp;concrete support within this historical plan. The EU cultural sector deserves to be part of this important moment that foster EU integration.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quote:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decision of the European Commission to disregard the contraction of the cultural and creative industries is baffling.
