Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Renew Europe Group in the European Parliament launched a proposal for a European cultural recovery plan.
In the position paper, the Renew Europe Group advocates for:
- Responding to the urgency and limiting the impact of the crisis on the cultural sector in Europe
- Reviving tourist exchanges through culture
- Supporting the European creative content to thrive in the digital single market
- A real ambition for European culture
Laurence Farreng, Member of the Renew Europe Group and Coordinator of the European Parliament Committee on Culture and Education (CULT), said:
“Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the world of culture is at a standstill. We must not abandon culture and those who make it. Culture is a vital part of our European identity and an important sector of our economy. This is why we need a strong commitment to the revival of European culture: for Renew Europe, there is no Europe without culture.”
