The EU Member States and the European Parliament agreed yesterday on the next EU long-term budget (2021-2027). This budget is of a particular importance as it will help the Union to recover from the sanitary crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As part of the EU Budget, the Member States and the European Parliament agreed to increase the budget of Creative Europe of \u20ac2,2 billion compared to the budget of the programme for 2014-2020 (\u20ac1,4 billion). It should be remembered that this is the only EU instrument that fosters EU cultural diversity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The European Coalitions for Cultural Diversity warmly welcome this result<\/strong> and thank the MEPs negotiators for the European Parliament and the MEPs of the Culture and Education Committee for their tireless commitment in convincing the Council of the necessity to increase Creative Europe\u2019s budget.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In this time of crisis, support to cultural sectors is vital. Thanks to the Creative Europe programme, the European Union will be able to provide even more direct support to cultural projects across the EU and to audiovisual co-productions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
